PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 2lst.-The
returns from all but one town, that
of Sheridan, have been received,
proving a plurality of 179 for Davis,
less 90 which Sheridan gave the
Fusionists last year; but partial
comparison made with the returns
made to the Secretary of State
show errors enough in the tele-
graphic returns to give clear plu-
rality to Plalsted. These returns
will have to be compared with the
returns Of the Secretary OF State in
order to establish correct returns.

PORTLAND, Sept. 2lst.-Flnding
errors In the teiegraphic returns to
the amount of two-tenths of one
per cent, copies of the official re-
turns have been carefully footed up
and compared with the footings re-
ceived from Augusta. An error is
found of 100 in the footing up of
Penobscot county. The final result
is, Davis, 73,640; Plaisted, 1854;
Plaisteds plurality, ia. The scat
terings were not on the sheets re-
ceived here, but the Augusta foot
ing of 470 is probably correct. This
result must DO very near, although
some towns are still not official,
and the Democrats and the Demo.
l cratic State Committee, although
their tables are not complete, agree
. that they will come out very neal
; this. Although these figures are
from official returns, the ofIicial
canvass of them is not made unit
the Legislature meets in January
and only that body takes cogni
zance of errors in full. The plural.
, ity amendment is carried by large
majority.
