The Erect Of the Maine Election ON
the Country:
By Telegraph to the sentinel.l

IL, 803; scattering, 161. Total, S1,24S.
| Davis majority is 1,420, against 1,540 in
the same towns last year. The towns to
hear from gave Davis 81, 719; Smith and
Garcelon 90,121, being q Fusion majority
Of 2,402. The aggregate vote received has
increased about five per cent, which indi-
Gates an aggregate Of LAG. 500. As each
| vote has increased about the same, the Re- |
| publicans should have 70, 800; the Fusion
lists, 1850; Prohibition and scattering,
500. A Fusion plurality of 1000. and a
| majority of 500. The result of the vote on
| the Constitutional Amendment, making
| the plurality choose, is uncertain; also,
| tina about the biennial electious. The
Fourth and Fifth Congressional Districts
are Fusion, and the First, Second and
Third are Republican. Cumberland county
is divided. A Fusion Sheriff is elected,
also two Republican and two Fusion Sena-
tors. The vote is very close, and will re-
quire an official count. The Legislature
will be very evenly divided in both
branches.
No Change i'm the OutIOok-Frye's
Election Conceded.
AUGUSTA, Sept. 14.-The returns come
in slowly, and do not change the outlook
as presented last night. Two hundred and
ifty-five towns show a Republican loss of
about 800 on last years vote. The whole
number of towns and plantations is over
600, but those heard from cover about two
thirds of the vote Of the State. At pres
emit Plaisted's election is not doubted, and
his majority is variously estimated at from
1000 to $500. Blaine comedies him a
small majority. The vote is the largest
ever cast. The Prohibitionists, under ad-
vice from Nye, their candidate, did not
generally vote for him, but directly for
Plaisted, as the surest way to defeat Davis.
Fol Congress, Frye is the only Republic
can whose election is conceded by the
Fusionists, but Lindsay has q majority be-
| yond q doubt. Reeds election is claimed
by as low as lit, and the Fusionists claim
the returns are being doctored. Ladd
and Murch, sitting members, have a
majority to spare. 1t looks as though
both of the Constitutional amendments
would have large majorities, and that par
~ticularly making a plurality elect the Gov
ernor, which, If adopted, will be operative
as to this election, and make Plaisted the
| Governor without doubt. Plaisted's ma
jority will be q little over 1000. In the
first district Reeds plurality is now put
at IS.
A General Rejoicing.
New York. September 14.-The Demo-
Gratis at the National Committee rooms to-
night INDUCED in q general rejoicing over
the returns from Maine. AT IL o'clock, in
the Republican National headquarters,
those gathered generally conceded that
| they had lost Maine. The following dis
| patch was received from j. l.. Smith, Sec
rotary Of the State Central Committee of
Maine: The indications are now that the
election Of Plaisted is assured. unless the
country towns do better than the cities.
Complete Returns from the First
District.
PORTLAND, September 14.-Complete re-
turns from the First District confirm the
statement that Reed, Republican, is elected
by about 100 majority. In Cumberland
county the four Republican Senators APP
pear to be elected. This will give the
State Senate strongly to the Republicans.
The returns from IL additional towns give
Davis l ,134; Plaisted, 779; scattering, 7.
Three Thousand Majority.
NEW York. September 14.-Dispatches
received by the National Democratic Com
mittee from Maine. this morning, state
that Plaisted is elected by probably 5000
majority. The Fourth and Fifth Congress
sional Districts are sure, and probably the
First and Second Districts are carried by
us, and also the Legislature.
COnkling Burdened with Severau
ImpOrtant Law Cases.
CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-An Int r-Ocean's
W~ashington's special says: A gentleman
in this city, who saw Senator Cameron, of
Pa, a few days ago. says the Senator's
sympathies are heartily enlisted in Gar
fields success. The old Cameronian
method Of still-hunting is still kept up,
and the young Pennsylvania Senator is
watching the details with exceeding in
t~erest, particularly the Harrisburg Con-
gressional District, where Col. Barr, Sem
ator Cameron's private secretary, is a can
didate for Congress. The same gentleman
says that Senator Conkling q few days ago
told Congressman Starin, Of New York,
that after the campaign had ended the
Republican party would have no cause to
say that he had been apathetic in the can
vass. The Senator just now is burdened
with several important law cases, which
he expects to dispose Of within the next
fortnight, when he will go west and make
speeches in Ohio an Indiana.
The Presidential Contest Settled.
CHICAGO, September 14.-The Times, In
dependent, says: The success Of the Fu-
sion ticket in Maine will not only be a
source Of establishment to the whole coun-
try, but will go a long way toward settling
the Presidential contest in advance. Its
influence will be felt especially In Indiana, |
where the scale is almost evenly balanced,
and where it needs nothing more to turn
the balance sharply in favor Of the Demo-
Gratis. 1t will give the canvass for Han
cock everywhere new life and vigor. The
result shows that the majority Of the peo-
pie Of . State. long Republican, are willing
to abandon the Republican party, and are
convinced that the country is in no danger
Of subjugation by rebel brigadiers.
