The question to be settled next is
whether the Gre enbackers and Democrats
will fuse on the electoral scket. The
Scion Chase wing OF the Green5ack party
will undoubtedly advocate the nominatior

succeed they will find themselves Ia a
hopeless minority. A leading Greeubscker
from Augusta says that, should this course
Dc pursued, large portion OF the party
would go over TO the Democrats AID sup.
port Hancock. General Plaisted ne said
would in that event take the stump for the
Democratic ticket and send the melcop.
tents to the rear.
Some tnoughtless Republicans boes;
that the machinery IL ia their hands this
year and that the same game attempted
last year by the Fusionisls will prove
effective in deciding the result in favor OF
their side. There is liable to be some
trouble among the opposition leaders il
Cumberland county. Two ID ,mocratic
candidates for the Senate were nominated
and two Greenbackers. The two Green.
hackers were defeated and two Rapubli.
can and two Democratic Senators elected.
As the vote was large it was shown that
the Gteenbsckers were slaughtered by
their Democratic brethren, which NAV
create some bad blood. In Kepp.bec
county Republican candidate for Judge
of Probate was defeated, although tie
balance of the ticket was elrcted BY | 100
majority. The man was put up by little

getting Its hand in at independent voting.

AuGUsrA Sept. II, 1880 TO G,n,rai
James A. GdWed, Nentor, Ohio The re-
suit OF yesterdays election, as nearly AZ can
be stated at tins hour @ p. M, Tuesday is
about ~ follows;
The Republicans have carried the First.
Second and Third Compression districts, while
the Fusionists have carried the Fourth and
Fifth, The Republicans have carried both
branches of the Legislature by strong
majority, reaching, perhaps two-thirds Of
each House. On the popular vote for Cover
nor Davis and Pasted have each over n 900
votes, with the probabilities in favor of
lIalsted coming out few hundred. perhaps
thousand ahead.
The result is incidentally surprise TO lis.
and equally 10 to the mass of the Democratic
party III Maine, Our canvass was never more
accurately taken, and it showed on Wudncs-
day last total vote for Davis of tritlc over
IB,O0O, with an assured majority of o. 900 as
the minimum. In the four days preceding
the election We lost over 5000 votes by means
well known to the managers of the National
Democratic campaign and which do not call
Tor further specifications from me The total
cost Is yariously estimated at from S75. 900 to
slOO,OOO, and the money all came from be-
yond the state. Such scenes were never
before enacted in Maine. j. q. BLAINE
