Boston, Sept 14.-An Augusta, Me-, special says:
The returns come In slowly this morning and do
not change the outlook as presented last night
Two hundred and forty ty.fVe towns show net Re.
publican loss of about 800 on last years vote. The
whole number OF towns and plantatinos is over
600, but those heard from cover about two.thirdg
of the vote Of the State At present Plaisted's
election is not doubted, and his majority is vari.
ously estimated at from 1000 to $500. Mr.. Blaine
comedies him small majority The vote is the
largest ever cast. The PrOhibitionists under ad-
vice of Nye their candidate, did not generally
vote for him, but directly for Paisted,as the sur
est means Of defeating DaVis
For Congress Fryei the only Republican whose
election Is conceded by the Fusioniss, but Lind
sey has me- j0rity beyond doubt. Reeds election
is claimed by the Republicans but his majority is
placed as low rs III and the Fusionists claim the
ret rms are being dOctored. Ladd .and Murch,
Fusion sitting members, have maiOrites to spare.
II looks as though both Of the constitutional
amendments would have large m6jorities and
particularly that making plurality elect gov
ernor which, If adopted, will be operative at this
ele CtOn,
Another special says Psisteds majority will be
little OV 900 in the first district, and Reeds
plurality is now put al 30.
st. Louis, ept.14-A telegram from William H.
English to the editor of the Post Dispatch says the
result in Maine cannot fail greatly to strengthen
the Democratic cause in Indiana.
anew York, Sept. IA 1t is now claimed at the
Headquarters Of the Democratic committee that
Plaisted is elected by from 5000 TO 5,0OO and both
branches of the Legislature aud four members OF
Congress secured.
Mentor, O., Sept A-General Garfield received
the following dispatch this afternoon:
Augusta, Me-, Sept. t4,-The net resnlt of yester
days election, as can be stated at this hour 3p.
M, Tuesday, is about as follows: The Republic
ans have carried the first second and third con.
gressional districts, while the Fusioniss have car
ried The fourth and fifth. The Republicans have
carried both branches Of the Legislature by q
strong me- Pjority reaching, perhaps, two'thirds Of
each house. On the present vote for Governor,
Davis aud Plaisted have each over seventy.tWo
thousand votes, with the probability OF Plaisted
coming out few hundred, perhaps thousand
AHEAD. The result is undeniably surprise TO us
and generally TO the mass Of the Democratic party
in Maine. Our canvass ives never more accurate
ly taken and 1t tshOwed on Wednesday last a total
vote for Davis OF trihe over seveny'six thous-
and with a probable mHjOrit of six thousand, as
the minimum The four days preceding the elec-
tion we lost over three thousand votes by means
well known to the managers OF the National
Democratic campaign and which do not call for
further specification frJm me. The total cost is
aNi,, nnfi iuNafa gpVpntV t10ngAnn
hundred thousand dollars, and the money all
came from beyond the Slate. Such scenes were
never berOre witnessed in Maine,

Augusta, Sept 14.-Very few official returns
have been received at the State House to-day and
but little more is known with accuracy as to the
the result Of Mondays election than was known
last night. The figures so far received lndi-
cate the election Of Plaised by about 1000 ma
jority.
In the Senate the Republicans will have ma
ority Of at least ten membera possibly eleven, as
II is isthought Brown, one OF the Fusion candi
dates In Somerset, is defeated. The Republican
msj1rity In the House will be from twenty TO
twenty five. Twelve of the thirteen representa-.
tives In Kennebec are Republican, gain Of one.
WHAT REPUBLICAN ORGANS SAY.
The ecoaltlon between the Democrats and Green.
hackers In Maine has achieved victory which
will surprise even Its friends In other States So
far as influence OF the election on popular feeling
is concerned, II 10 plain that II would have been
m uch less had not the Republican managers sent
out such confident predictions Of decided Voctory.
IN Y. Tines
The result In Maine will somewhat disappOint
the Republicans. Where they had hoped for q
small majority the vote is so close as to leave
the State in doubt. II is we'll enough to remem
Der, however, that the fight began with odds
against the Republicans. The Republican party
began growing too confident Of late and has been
enjoying its Victories In advance.-N T. Tribune.
The news from Maine Is disappointing and es-
sentially different from what we hoped to ohron-
icle, The canvass there has been an active and
exhaustive one, and the results are by no means
satisfactory or In accordance with Republican
expectations. Reasons will be found as plenty as
baCkberries, but reasons even when they are
plausible and indisputable, do not compensate for
the dscOuIagement Of this mornings record. -
