How it was DOne-Blaine to Garfield
MENTOR, o., Sept. 14.-Gen. Garfield
the following dispatch this af-
ternoon:
AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. IA.
To j. Il. Garfield:
The net result of yesterdays election,
as clearly as can be stated at this hour,
3 p. m, Tuesday, is about as follows:
The Republicans have carried the First,
Second and Third congressional dis
trlcts, while the Fusionists have carried
the Fourth and Fifth.
The Republicans have carried both
branches of the legislature by strong
reaching perhaps two-thirds of
each house. On the present vote for
governor Davis and Plaisted have each
over 1000 votes, with the probabilities
of Plaisted coming out a few hundred
ahead. The result is undeniablY sur
prise to US, and generally to the mass of
Democrats in Maine. Our canvass was
never more accurately taken, and 1t
showed on Wednesday last a total vote
for Davis of trIfle over 10000, with a
probable majority of 5000. The four
days preceding the election we lost 5000
votes by means well known to the manag-
ers of the national Democratic campaign,
and which do not call for further speci-
fication. The total cost is VariOusly es-
timated at from $4,000 100000, and
the money all came from beyond the
state. Such scenes were never before
witnessed in Maine.
