turns, though incomplete, at midnight on that
day showed the following probable results:
The vote has been very close, but the indica-
tions now are that the back towns will offset
the Republican loss in the cities. At Repub-
ican headquarters Davis's election is claimed
as the Senate and House are Republican. The
defeat Representatives in the Fourth and
Fifth districts is conceded; 1873 town give
net Republican loss of about 200 over last
year. At the Fusion headquarters Plaisted's
election is claimed by 1900 majority, as are
three OF the five Congressman. Lewiston
Congressman Frye is reelected in the Second
district by about 1880 majority. Portland
The towns to hear from at II o'clock gave
last year Davis SO,l5O, Smith 23,073,
Garcelon 9,72, scattering 200. Republi-
can majority 2,84S. This indicates about 1900
fusion majority. Boston-A dispatch to the
Herald says Senator Blaine admits the defeat
of Reed, Boutelle and Milliken ia the first
AUGUSTA, Name, Sept. 14.-Very few
official returns have been received at the
State house and but little more is known
with accuracy of the result of Mondays cleo
ton than was known lasi night. The figures
of Plaisted by about 1000 majority. In the
Snate the Republicans will have a majority
of at least ten members, possibly eleven as it
is thought Brown, one of the Fusion candi-
dates in Somerset, is defeated. The Repub-
lican majority in the house will be from 20,
to 25. Twelve of the thirteen Representatives
in Kennebec are Republicans, gain of
one.
CLEVELAND, O., Sept 14.-Gen. Garfield re-
ceived the following dispatch this afternoon:
AUGUSTA, Sept. 14.-To Gen. J. A. Garfield,
Mentor, O.-The net result of yesterdays
election as nearly as can be stated at this
hour, g p. m. Tuesday, is about as follows:
The Republicans have carried the First, Sec
ond and Third Congressional districts, while
the Fusionists have carried the Fourth and
Fifth. The Republicans have carried both
branches of the legislature by strong MAORI
ty. reaching perhaps two thirds of each house.
For governor, Davis and Plaisted have each
over 72OO0 votes, with the probability in favor
of Plasted coming out few hundred, per-
haps thousand ahead. The result is unde-
niably surprise to us and generally to the
masses of the Democratic party in Maine.
and it showed on Wednesday last total vote
for Davis of trife over 76, 1000, with prob
able majority of 5000 at the minimum. The
four days preceding the election we lost over
1900 voters by means well known to the man.
ayers of the National Democratic campaign
and which do not call for further specification
from me. The cost is variously estimated at
from $4,000 to 100000, and the money all
came from beyond the State. Such scenes
were never before witnessed in Maine.

fourth and fifth Congressional districts. A
fusion gain of one Congressman.
Portland, Sept. 15.-There are still 1870
towns to hear from, m ostly small and remote
places. The aggregate vote of the State last
year was 1920 This has increased little
over per. cent. as far as received, and If the
returns of towns increase in the same ratio
the aggregate will reach lac, 800, of which the
republicans should have about 70 900; the Fu-
sionists, about $4,000, and scattering about
| $500. Some of the remote Fusion districts
have brought in Republican gains. The Flu.
sionists will probably have trifling plurality
which will elect Plaisted if the amendments
are adopted. If not adopted, and if found un-
constitutional on account OF being retroactive,
which question has been suggested, the elec.
ton will go into the Legislature. The figures
are SO very close that only the official count
| can decide unless decided gains are made on
| one side or the other in the remaining towns.
Owing to errors which must occur in returns
received in this way even the differences be.
tween tabulations of officials and that of leg
islative committees may change the results.
