about two-thirds of the vote of the State. at

2500. MIR. Blaine comedies him small ma

Prohibitionists, under advice from Nye, their
candidate, didn't generally vote for him, but
directly for Plaisted as the surest means OF de-
feating Davis for governor Fryei is the only
Republican whose election is conceded by the
Fusionists. but Lindsey has majority beyond
doubt. Reeds election is claimed by the
Republicans, but his majority is placed as low
as III. and the Fusionists claim that the re-
| turns are being doctored. Ladd and Muroh,
Fusion sitting members, have majorities to
spare. It looks as though both of the constitu-
tional amendments would have large MAORI

elect the governor, which, if adopted, will be
operative as to this election. Another special
says Plaisted's majority will be over 1000 in
the First district, and Reeds plurality is now
put at 800.

elected by about 100 majority. Cumberland
county Senators. all four Republicans, appear
to be elected. This will give the State Senate
strongly Republican. Returns from twelve

Fusion candidates in Somerset. is defeated.

COLD COMFORT FOR GARFIELD.
CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 14.-Gen. Garfield re-
ceived the following dispatch this afternoon:
AUGUSTA, Sept. 14.-To Gen. J. A. Garfield.
Mentor, O.-The net result of yesterdays
election as nearly as can be stated at this hour
q P. M. Tuesday, is about as follows: The Re-
publicans have carried the First, Second and
Third Congressional districts, while the Fusion
lists have carried the Fourth and Fifth. The
Republicans have carried both branches of the
legislature by strong majority, reaching per-
haps two-thirds of each house. For COVER
nor, Davis and Plaisted have each
over $4,000 votes with the probability
in favor of Plaisted coming out few hundred,
perhaps thousand ahead. The result is un-
deniably surprise to us and generally to the
masses of the Democratic party in Maine.
Our canvass was never more accurately taken
and it showed Wednesday last total
vote for Davis of trifle over 10000, with
probable majority of 5000 at the minimum.
The four days preceding the election we lost
over 5000 voters by means well known to the
managers of the National Democratic cam
paign and which do not call for further specif-
cation from me. The cost is yariously esti-
mated at from $4,000 to 100000 and the
money all came from beyond the State. Such
scenes were never before witnessed in Maine
