NEW York, September l6.-At
the headquarters of the Republican
National committee of this city. the
election of Davis over Plaisted is
claimed upon the basis of dis
patches from Maine. which states
tnat Davis majority will reach 1859.
The national Democratic COM
mittec received the following dis
patch from Portland: Three hum
dred and siXty-four towns give
Plaisted 1896. Davis 67.S2S-a Re
publican majority of 1888. In 1876
the same towns gave the opposition
55,3S2, Republicans 70,497-a Repub-
liean majority in 1876 of 1878. The
Republican loss since 1876 is 1927.
The l20 towns not yet heard from
give considerable Democratic ma
jorities in 1876. There is no doubt
of Plais.ed's election. The contest
between Lindsey and Philbcrick, for
Congress, is close and doubtful.
The committee sent out this After
noon the following dispatch: Anew
York. September 16.lThe latest i'll
formation is TO the effect that Plais-
ted has Il clear majority of some
where from 1000 TO 1900. No amount
of cheating, which is apparent the
Republicans are trying to do, can
effect the result. Everything is be-
ing done TO watch them and defeat
fraud on their part. h ''+it

RICIIMoND. Va, September 16:-
Nothing of an official character has
yet been promulgated in relation to
the movement for healing the differ
ences between the opposition fac
tions of the Democratic party of the
state, as far rs they effect the Ma
tional issues. 1t is generally known
however, that the plan Of compro-
mise submitted last night by the
regular Conservative committee to
that of the Readjustcrs, provides for
the. formation of a mixed electoral
ticket TO be made up of five Con-
servative electors and five Rcadjus-
ter electors, and the eleventh cleo
tor to be named by the National
Democratic committee. or chosen by
lot. The Readjusters committee re-
mained in session until 3 O'Clock this
morning. The greater portion OF
the session was spent i'll general
interchange of views on party mat
tiers and expressions as TO what was
thought by the people Of the propos-
ed compromise plan OF the Con-
seryativc committee, which had
been living before the Readjusters
committee all night. and was not
opened until $3.50 O'clock. when il
was briefly considered. and was
rejected, and q subcommittee APP
pointed to prepare a reply The
Readjusters are again in session dis
cussing the matter. One subject
which Is being considered is whether
the Readjusters shall embody' in
their reply plan Of compromise.
One plan that they have discussed
IS TO submit two Hancock electoral
tickets 10 the people. at a primary
election some time in October. and
that whichever ticket shall receive
the highest vote that ticket shall be
recognized at the presidential elee-
ton. What action has been taken is
not vet known.
The Readjustcr's committee have
decided upon their report. They
reject the plan proposed by the Con-
servatiye COMMITTEES, not out of any
indisposition to unite with the sup
porters of Hancock and English, but
ont of the belief that the proposed
plan is not calculated TO accomplish
fhe object sought, vet in considera-
ton of the apprehensions which ex-
ist outside, that a distinction of
party NAV result in the loss 10 the
Democracy of the electoral vote OF
Virginia, which apprehensions are
not shared in by the Rcadjasters.
They propose that the electoral
ticket question be settled by pri-
mary election TO be held on the 10th
of October, at which all persons
shall be allowed TO vote who pledge
themselves to vote for Hancock and
English. The reply viii be sub
miifed 10 the Conservative commit
tee this afternoon.
