lished majority for Murch in the
whole district, is from 1000 to
1,200.
SKowHEeAN, Sept. 14.-Returns
from fourteen towns in Somerset
county give fusion majority. An
estimate of the remaining towns
from last years vote will give the
county to the fusionists by about
800 majority.
PORTLAND, Sept. 14-Morning,-
The temperance vote in the state is
trifing. Two hundred and seven
towns give Davis 43,477; Plaisted,
1887; scattering, 2lO; total, 1854.
The same towns last year gave Davis
4l,394; Smith, 26,890; Garcelon,
12,803; scattering, 161; total, 81 ,248.
Davis majority is 1920, against
1,540 in the same towns last year.
The towns to hear from gave Davis
27,719, Smith and Garcelon 3O,121,
being fusion majority of 2,4O2.
The aggregate vote received has in
creased about five per cent, which
indicates an aggregate of 146,5O0.
AS each vote has increased about the
same, the republicans should have
800, fusionists 1880, prohibi-
tionists and scattering 500, and a
fusion plurality of 1,00s and ma
jority of 500. The amendment re-
quiring the plurality to choose is
uncertain, also that providing for
biennial elections. The fourth and
fifth congressional districts are
fusion. The first, second and third
republican as before. The republi-
cans claim the first district by 125,
and the democrats concede by 95.
Cumberland county is divided. A
fusion sheriff has been elected. Two
republican and two fusion senators
are elected. The vote was very
close, and it will require the official
count. Tue Legislature will be very
evenly divided IN both branches.
RocKLAND, Sept. 14.-Returns from
all the towns in Knox county, except
North Haven and Watilicus, give
Davis 2,S15, Plaisted 4, ,l24. The re-
publicans elect Montland senator,
Wood judge of probate, Spaudling
sheriff, and Vinal county commits
sioner. The greenbackers elect
Kelloch register of probate Robin
son county attorney, and Spear
treasurer. Starrett, clerk of pro-
bate, is elected by q division of the
republicans.
New Yonk, Sept. 14-The follow
ing was received by the national
democratic committee from Maine
this morning:
'.PoRTLAND.- Sept 14-Plaistnd is
elected probably by 5000 majority:
The fourth and fifth congressional
districts surely, and probably the
first and third districts, carried by
us, and also the Legislature.

PORTLAND, Sept. 1.-THE complete
returns from the 14th district con-
firm the report that Thomas B. Reed, |
republican, has been elected to con-
gress by about 100 majority. In
Cumberland county four republican
senator's appear to be elected. This
will give the state senate strongly to |
the republicans. Returns from
twelve additional towns gives Davis I
!, ,134, Plaisted 879, scattering l.
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 !
five towns show net republican
loss of about 800 on last year vote.
The number of towns and plantations
Is over 600, but t,ose heard from
cover about two thirds of the vote
Of the state. At present Plaisted's
election is not doubted, and his
is variously estimated at
rom 1000 to $500. B4aine con-
'edes him small plurality. The
7ote is the largest ever cast. The
orohibitionists, under advice from +
Nye, their candidate, did not :
generally vote for him, but
Ii ectly for Plai~ted as the surest
means of defeating Davis. For con-
sress Gnye is the only republican
whose election is conceded by the
usionists, but Lindsey has major
ty beyond doubt. Reeds election
S claimed by the republicans, but
lis majority is placed as low
IS 1T, and the fusionists claimed
hat the returns are being doctored.
1add and Murch, fusion sitting mem
'ers, have majorities to spare. It
ooks as though both of the constitu-
lonal amendments would have large
najorities, AID particularly that one
making the plurality elect governor, {
Fhlch, if adopted, will be operative
S to this election. Another special
rom Augusta says Plaisted' S majority
7iIl be little over 1000. In the first
istrict Reeds plurality is now put at
5.
