back committee. claims that the true
Republican candidate for sheriff has
been scratched enough 10 defeat
him. The Democrats challenges
every Irish Republican vote in ward
No. 4, as reported.
BtDDEFoRD. Me-, September 49,
The election is proceeding quietly
but earnestly with the promise of a
| full vote. The Democrats are more
confident this morning than at any
previous time, but although politi-
| clans on both sides are hopeful the
majority for the Republicans in the
city may fall below one hundred. At
eleven O'clock the Republicans lead
in six out of seven wards, having
about 80 majority.

county, "a towns give a Republican
majority on the county ticket of
from 125 to $50, with the exception
of Folsom. the Republican candidate
Tor sheriff, who has run behind his
ticket and whose election is doubt
full. Two towns not heard from
gave Republican majorities last year
of 10. The Democrats will probably
lose one representative in this cOun-
ty.
AUGUSTA, Maine, September H.
The Kennebec county Republicans
will probably gain about 200. There
is Il gain of one Republican repre-
sentative in the county. The sena-
tors and county officers are all Re-
publican with the exception of the
| Judge of the probate court. to which
office probably Democratic candi-
date is elected. The probability is
that Lindsay, Republican, is re-
elected to Congress by small ma
| jOrity. There are no returns to
show how the vote on the constitu-
| tienal amendments has gone. The
vote for governor is very close in the
state. II is impossible to tell what
the result is. II is thought the Flu
sionists have carried the fourth and
fifth congressional districts. FRYE is
elected in the second and Reed i'm
the first.
BELFAST, Maine, September A.
| Waldo county-all but six small
towns give Plaisted about 400 ma
jOrity. The Fusion senator's and all
county officers have probably 400
majority. OF eight representatives
six are Fusionists and two Republis
cans. The estimated majority for
Murch in the whole district is from
1000 to 1900.
SKOwHEGAN, September l4.-Re-
| turns from IA towns in Somerset

estimate of remaining towns from
last years vote will give the county
to the Fusionists by about 800 ma
iority.

| Complete returns from Lincoln
county, received at the office Of the
Damarescotta Herald, give Plaisted
345 majority, gain Of PAS. The en-
tire fusion county ticket is elected,
gaining a senator thereby. OF the

PORTLAND, Me-, September, A.
The Temperance vote in the state Is
trifling POI towns give Davis 43.477,
Plaisted Al 1887, scattering go, total
1854. The 3ames towns last wear
gave Davis 41,314, Smith 25,890, Gar
celon 12,S0S, scattering 16I, total
1,248; Davis majority 1920 against
1850 in the same towns last year.
The towns TO hear from gave Davis
27,719. Smith and Garcelon 3O.12i.
being fusion majority of 2502.
The aggregate vote received has in
creased about five per cent, which
indicates an aggregate of 146-500, as
each. vote hrs Increased about the
same: the Republicans should have
1880. Fusionists 1880, Prohition-
lists and scattering 500: the Fusion
plurality of 1000 and majority of
500 to the amendments making the
plurality uncertain, also that pr0vid-
| ing for the biennial election. The
Fourth and Fifth Congressional dis
tricts are Fusion. The first, second
and third Republican as before. The
Republicans claim the First district
by 125. and the Democrats concede
it by 95.
Cumberland county Is divided, the
Fusion sheriff has been elected, and
two Republican and two Fusion sem
ators elected. The vote was very
close and il will require an official
count. The legislature will be very
evenly divided in both branches.
