i Senator Blaine telegrsphs the chair
man Of the Republican National Com
mittee that the Republicans have car
ried Maine by plurality Of 400. Davis
election as Governor is conceded by the
Pusionists. Gains were made in twelve
counties, two were unchanged and there
were leases In only two.
Rx-Sesretary Fish thinks the Demo
Gratis have nothing to congratulate
themselves upon in the small ma ority
by which the Republicans carried the
State, unless, indeed, they wish to in

PORTLAND, Sept. l7.-Four hundred
and ninety towns give Davis 73,3ol;
Plaisted, 72,5sS, scattering 33S; Davis
plurality, 7l3. The small towns to
hear from gave last year, Davis, 40;
Fusion 435; scattering, 80; total, 555-
a Fusion plurality Of 1876, which, de-
Quoted, leaves Davis .3ls plurality.
The large number o. scattering votes
unaceounted for shows that many
towns have omitted TO report them, and
we still estimate it At 41O, and Davis
elected by plurality, but lacking
majority.
A dispatch from Fort Fairfield reports
tn at the vote OF Psrham stands: Dayis,
so; Plaisted, "A. Last year it stood,
Davis, 5; Fusion 81. 1t is found, in
compiling last years book, that so Of
the scattering Of last year were stated
but not specified.
That 10 evidently the missing so d.
luded 10 in the last bulletin, and we
may have il in the present returns. III
80 this gain Of 2e would overcome the
difference between Davis's plurality
and the scattering, and give him q
majority Of s; bat this is subject to all
the errors made in this way Of recelv-
ing returns.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 17.-senator
Blaine sent the following telegram, to
day, to Hon. Marshal Jewell, of New
York:
We have complete returns, with the
exception Of few distant plantations,
and give you a summary OF the re-
suit. In the election Of 1879 the Re-
puLlicans lacked 1905 votes Of = ina.
jority. This year we have made gains
in twelve counties: held our own in two
counties, aud in two other counties We
have made slight losses. Our net gain
in the whole sixteen counties is reck
oned at 1900, as minimum, with
possibly maximum Of 1900, making
Governor Davis reelection certainty,
not denied by his opponents.
His majority over Plsisted will no
vary much from 400. We have chssen
three fourths Of the county officers,
more than two. thirds of the State Sen.
ate, and large majority Of the House
Of Representatives, giving us complete
control Of the State COVE nment in all
its branches.
Our only regret is failure 10 regain
the Congressional districts. We sue
cseded in reducing the majority in each
case 10 about one-third Of the Fusion
majority Of two years ago, but the
Democratic alarm over The result in
Vermont caused application Of srgu-
ments in both districts last week which
we could not meet. J. G. BLAINE.
