MAINE ELECTION.

PORTLAND, Sept. 15.-There are still 1870
towns to hear from, mostly small and remote
places. The aggregate vote of the State last
year was S9,270. This has increased a little
over per cent. as far as received and if the
returns of towns increase in the same ratio, the
aggregate will reach 146, 300, of which the Re-
publicans should have about $4,000; the Fu-
sionists, about $1,000, and scattering about
5000. Some of the remote Fusion districts
have brought in Repu bllcan gains. The Flu.
sionists will probably have trlfllng plurality
which will elect Plaisted if the amendments
are adopted. If not adopted. and if found un.
constitutional on account Of being retroactive
which question has been suggested, tie cleo
tlon will go into the legislature. The figures
are 80 close that only the official count can de-
eide unless decided gains are made on one side
or the other in the remaining towns. Owing
to errors which must occur in returns received
in this way. even the differences between tabu-
lations of officials and that of legislative COM
mittee may change the result.
