court overthrowing their illegal legislature ex-
pressed a desire to appeal to the people. Yes
terday they had an opportunity. The verdict
is not of the kind they were seeking. Crush
ing defeat has been their fate on ever hand.
The people have spoken and so loud and dis
tinctly that even the Fusion leaders stupied as
they are cannot fail to understand how their
attempt to steal state is regarded. The fol-
lowing reports tell the story:
Portland
Portland covered herself all over with glory
yesterday. Her citizens rallied to the polls in
splendid style, and rolled up majority for the
Republican candidate such as was never before
known in the city. The nearest approach to
MIR. Senter's majority was that of Hon. Angus
tus E. Stevens in 1867, of ,146, and next came
1929 for Hon. Jacob Mcclellan in 1864 In
Moses M. Butler had $50 All three of these
gentlemen were the Republican candidates.
Last year Mr.. Senter was nominated right
on the verge of the election and was defeated
under such adverse circumstances by only
slight majority of 40. This year his friends
took him hand in season and aided by the
real honest sentiment of the community,
which had been thoroughly disguised by the
attempted disfranchisement of Portland, at
Augusta, by Garcelon and his Council, and the
outrageous attempt to steal the State, they
have achieved victory that will re-echo from
one end of this broad land to the other Such
excitement, as the returns from the wards
came in, has rarely been seen. A broad grin
overspread every face as the owner read the
bnlletin in the window of the PRESS counting
room.
During the day, which was all that could
have been desired in point of weather, the
voting passed off quietly enough. In Ward
One the Republican ticket was squarely voted
Some Democrats voted for Albert H. Waite
for alderman while others substituted the
name of Sumner Barber. For councilmen the
name of Richard X. Galley, Republican, was
substituted to some extent for that of Eben
Masrton. The Greenbackers voted for Charles
N. Noble for school committee in place of Dr.
William Rhyme, the straight Democratic
nominee.
In Ward Two, which usually throws $50 to
300 Democratic majority, the majority was cut
down to 70
In Ward Three, Mr. Senters own ward,
that gentleman had 346 majority.
In Ward Four the G. C's voted for Mr.
Senter in preference to Mr.. Fox. A crowd of
thirty men marched up to the polls every man
holding the straight Republican ticket above
his head and voted it. In fact Four did nobly.
She elected two Republican councilmen,
Messrs. Nelson and Jordan, and gave Fox only
two majority. There will have to be another
election in this ward for third councilman,
clerk and constable.
In Ward Five there was slight attempt at
a bolt on the part of some Republicans but it
amounted to little.
TheWards Six and Seven polled magnificent
majorities and in the latter ward Alderman
Chapman and Councilman Pennell ran ahead
of their tickets. At 2 p. m. the Republicans
were ahead in the Democratic Ward Four and
the majority for Senter, by check, was $751;
The Republican majority in September was
$50.
The vote is not the largest the city ever
polled as there were were 1858 votes thrown in
1876 and 5S44 last year. The total vote this
year was SIT.
At the close of the polls the vote stood as
follows:
