BLAINE IS MAD. But CHEEKY AS EVER.
MENTOR. o.. Sept. l4.-Garfeld has
received the following dispatch:
AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. l4-The net
result of yesterdays election. as nearly as
can be stated at this hour Is D. u. Tues
dayl is about as follows: The Republicans
have carried the first. second and third
districts, while the Fusion
lists have carried ths fourth and ffth.
The Republicans have carried both
branches of the legislature By a strcng
majority, reaching perhaps two thirds of
each house. On the present vote for
governor, Davis and Piaisted have each
over $4,000 votes. with the probabilities in
favor of Plaisted coming out few huud
red, perhaps a thousand, ahead The
result is undoubtedly surprise to us aud
generally to the mass OF the Democratic
party in Maine. Our canvass was never
more accurately taken, and it showed on
w ednssday last a total vote for Davis Of
tribe over $4,000 with probable majority
of 5000 at the minimum Four days
preceding the election we lost over 5000
votes by means we'll known to the mana
gers Of the Democratic national campaign,
and which do not call for further specifi-
cations from me, The total cost is 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. j. q. BLAINE.
