Midnight-We have still $50 towns to hear
from, mostly remote and small places. OF
lin IL, Hancock 10, Kennebec 10, Knox
4, Oxford 8, Penobscot 80, Piscata-
quis l, Somerset Is, Waldo 3 and
Washington 20. Many of these are planta-
tons throwing but a few votes. The aggre-
gate vote last year was 1920. This has
| increased little over per cent. so far as
received, and if the remaining towns increase
| in the same ratio the aggregate will reach
| lag, 800, of which the republicans should
have about $4,000, fusionists about 1890,
scattering about 500. The remoter fusion
districts have tonight brought in republican
gains. The fusionists will probably have a
trifling plurality, which will elect
| Plaisted if the amendments are adopted. But
there is no return from them, and the popular
vote is SO close that it is impossible to guess
from that. II not adopted, or if found I'M
constitutional on account of being retroactive
which question has been suggested-the
election will go into the legislature, which
stands at last reports: Senate-l9 republic
cans. II fusion; House-s6 republicans to
65 fusion. The republicans will elect the
United States Senator, who will Of course be
a republican.
The figures are now so close that only an

are made on one side or the other in the re-
manning towns. Owing to error which must
occur in returns received in this way, even
the difference between the tabulation Of
mittee may change the result, so that we can
only report the result uncertain.
BANGOR, September IA. With exception
of two representative districts which the
fusionists gain, representatives from this
county stand the same as last year. ARGOS
took county will come out with 100 less fu.
sion majority than last year and Ladd's ma
jority will be greatly cut down.
FARxrSeIoS, September H. The towns
! in Franklin county heard from give Davis SC
majority, against ~ fusion majority in the
same towns last year. The remaining towns
! gave Il fusion majority last year. The SEN
ator and County officers are in doubt.
Belfast, September IA. Murch's friends
claim 800 majority, which may be reduced
r to 1900 or 1000. Waldo county, complete
but one town, gives Plaisted ! $50 majority.
