FEARFUL OF THE BACK PLANTATIONS.
MENTOR, O., Sept. 16.-Senator Blaine sent
the following dispatch this evening: Angus
ia, Me-, Sept. 16-To Gen. j. A, Garfield,
Mentor, o: The indications now point unmiE-
takably to the election of Gov. Davis. If We
could be assured of an honest vote and honest
returns from the French plantations of Aros-
took county the very possibility of doubt
would be removed. These plantations have
been the hot beds of Democratic frauds for
thirty years past. We have not yet received
their returns. The total vote for governor will
reach nearly, if not quite, u, coo: Only twice
vote reached $4,000 and never
reached 10000. The average annual
vote for the past ten years has been q little
more than $4,000. Our people are in splendid
heart and courage and will go into the Novem-
Der fight with the advantage of popular ma
iority in the contest of Monday last
(Signed) j. G. BLAINE"
