There are still 1870 towns to hear
from, mostly small and remote
p!ae IS. The aggregate vote Of the
State last year was 1920 This
has increased a little over five per
cent. as far as rec eived and if the
returns in these towns increase in
the same ratio, the aggregate will
reach 146, 800, of which the Repub-
llcaus should have about 70, 900, the
Fusiouists about 73, 900 and scatter
ing about 500. Some of the more
remote Fusion districts have
brought in Republican gains. The
Fuslonists will probably have q
trifling plurality. The figures are
SO close that only the official count
can decide ii, unless decided gains
are made on one side or the other
in the remaining towns.

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-The 1imes's
specials from Maine confirm
Blaine's accusation that the Demo-
Gratis spent vast sums of money in
bribing voters and that this was
the cause of the unexpected re-
suits. One correspondent, how
ever. declares that the Republicans
also spent money for the improper
influencing of voters. A Times
Portland special says: The returns
from back towns, of which there
are a great number in Maine, come
in necessarily slow, and it will not
| be possible for an accurate state
ment of Gen. Plaisted's plurality
to be given for several days. In.
deed, it is possible, barely possible,
that he has no plurality, and that
the Legislature, which ia still Re-
publican, will have the election to
itself, az was the case last year.
The Republicans made o strong
fight in Madowaska county, away
up in Aroostock, and are placing a
good deal of confidence in returns
from lot of little towns in re-
gion which gave heavy Greenback
majorities last year, and where a
great many hard money speeches
have been made during the canvass
just closed. Small towns In other
parts of the State show Republican
gains from Greenbackers, and why,
it is asked, should not Aroostock
make similar showing?

OF the figures received from Maine
this morning show pretty conclus-
lively that Davis will be elected,
provided he can gain 80 votes over
