MAINE
 NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The follow ing was received this nor nlng at the headouarters of the National Demo- cratic Committee from Portland The returns from 468 towns give PIaisted 7O019, and Davis 70 696, Re publican majority of 679. There are 9s towns and plantations to hear from which in 1876 gave 342 Democratic majority and the Democrats claim them this year by 1000 majority There is no doubt of Plaisted's cleo tion.
 CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-Times special says of Barnum's accusations, that there was undoubtedly much money spent on either side, but as to al. . Ieged doctoring of the returns, the Times correspondent takes no stock in it. The country now being heard 4 from was heavily Greenback, not Democratic, last year, and the Re pubIicans have discussed the finan- cial question very fully with able sneakers. The Greenback vote in large number of the smaller towns in the more settled portions of the State has fallen of very considerably and there is no reason why, in the nature of things, the backwoodsmen should not follow the example set by their more favored fellow citi- zens. Certain it is, that if doctoring was going on, it will be brought to light. Had it been arranged that this was to take place, Blaine and other leaders of party would not have been so nasty in giving up the State cn Monday and Tuesday
