General Davis. If we could be assured of an

every possibility of doubt would

have been hot,beds of Democratic
frauds for thirty years past We have not
r'reived their returns. The total vote for
Governor Davis will reach nearly fnot quite,
$4,000. Only twice in the history Of our
party in Maine has the vote exceeded $4,000
and reached 10000. The average annual

New York, Sept. l6--At the headquarters
OF the Republican national committee in this
city, the election Of Davis over Plaisted is
claimed upon tho basis of dispatch from
Maine, which states that Davis majority will
reach 1859. The national Democratic COM
mittee has received the following dispatch
| from Portland
"Three hundred and sixty-four towns give
Plaisted So. 0G0. Davis 67,S2S, Republican
majority of 1888" In 1876 the same towns
gave the opposition $685., Republican TO-.
i97. The Republican majority in 1876 was
1890 The Republican loss since 1876 is
1927. The 100 towns not yet heard from
gave considerable Democratic majority in
1876. There is no doubt of Paisted
being elected governor. The election
for congress, between Lindsay and PhilbriclS
is close and doubtful. The committee
sent out this morning the following dispatch:
"The latest information is to the effect that
Plaiated has clear majority of somewhere
from 100 to 1900. No amount Of cheating
which it is apparent the Republicans are try
ing to do, can effect the result. Everyt ing
Is being done to watch them and defeat the
fraud on their part"
