democratic committee received the fol-
lowing dispatch from Portland: Three
hundred and sixty-four towns give PlaIs-
ted 65, ,995, Davis 67,s2s, a republican
majority of 1883. In 1876 the same
towns gave the opposition 55,2s2 and
the republicans 70, ,497. The republican
majority in 1876 was 1915. The re-
publican loss since 1876 is 1872 One
hundred and twenty towns are not yet
heard from which gave a considerable
democratic majority in 1876. There is
no doubt Of Plaisted's election. For
congress, the contest between Lindsley

There are yet 81 towns and plantations
to hear from. which voted last year as
follows: Davis 2,427, Smith 1853,
Garcelon 1892, fusionists more than
Davis, 1913. If these 81 towns and
plantations have voted the same rs last
year Davis is elected by a majority Of
166. The constitutional amendments
will doubtless both accept.

tions and small town in Somerset, in
the remotest upper waters Of the
Kennebec, give Davis 1893; Plaisted,
19l. Last year the same places gave

Mentor, Ohio, Sep. 16. = Senator
Blaine sent the following dispatch this
evening:
To Gen. Gaaleld, Mentor, Ohio
Indications now point Enthusiastically to
the election Of Gov. Davis. II we could
be assured of an honest vote and honest
returns from the French plantations Of
Aroestook county, every possibility of
doubt would be removed. These plan
tations have been the hot bed Of the
democratic frauds of 10 years past. We
have not yet received their returns.
The total for governor will reach near
ly, II not quite, 1900. Only twice in
the history of our party in Maine has
the vote reached 5000 and never
reached 10000. The average annual
vote for the past ten years has been a
little more than 10000. Our people
are in splendid heart and courage and
will go into the November fight with
the advantage of the popular majority
on the contest of Monday last.

New York, Sep. 16.-Senator Blaine
telegraphs Whitelaw Reid, editor of
the Tribune, as follows: The courage Of
the Maine republicans never was
higher than at this moment. We have
elected 90 members of the senate
against 0 by the fusionists, and have
the house of representatives by large
majority. The political power OF
Maine is permanently wrested from the
men who dishonored the state.
(Signed) JAS. G. BLAINE.
G. o. Smith, secretary of the Maine
state republican committee, telegraphs

French plantations and all towns are
now heard from. Davis has plurality
OF from 500 to 600. This will probably
give him a majority Of between 150 to
