CHICAGO, September 18th. The Inter
Ocean has an interesting Augusta special, say
ing: The Republicans are alive and active,
because of dispatches from all over the
country, telling them of the anxiety felt by
the Republicans.
California telegraphs !: Upon the result
in your State depends the result in ours.
Give us good round majority, and we will
double it, and gain Congressman.
From Louisiana comes an appeal that
would be effective anywhere sit looks to
us here as if Maine would decide the Presi-
Dental election, and if Garfield is beaten we
see no hope in store for the Republicans in
the South"
From Florida comes the cheering intelli-
gence: 1--WE stand fair chance of carrying
Florida and gaining Congressman. A Re-
publican victory in Maine would give us more
encouragement than anything else. and
would add to our ranks many hundreds of
'trimmers,' who are waiting to see how the
wind blows"

Indiana, where powerful moral effect seems
to be expected from victory in Maine. The
Democrats have given out the impression in
Indiana, it seems, that Maine will probably
go Republican, so that if it should happen
to be otherwise, they could make a boast of
it, and claim 'a tidal wave." Hence Indiana
Republicans are extremely anxious, as they
expect the result in Maine viii change thou
sands of voters.
Mr.. Blaine has been sitting beside the tele-
graph instrument all day. His Private Sec.
retary, II. c. Sherman, is an experienced
telegrapher, and Blaine directs the campaign
in this State almost entirely by wire. If a
man in Bangor or Portland, or both, desires
to consult with Mr.. Blaine, or give him any
information, he steps into telegraph Office
and writes his dispatch. In a few moments
it is in Mr.. Blaines hands, an answer is die
tated instantly, and the man receives it be-
fore he leaves the office from which it is sent.
Blaine, who is familiar with every town in
Maine, and as well with the peculi-
arities of most OF the inhabitants, half
of whom he can call by name, will telegraph
some citizen of town from. which doubtful
! voters are reported, asking him the use of his
influence with the men named, and notify
| the headquarters at once of the result. In a
| few hours Blaine will receive telegram from
the gentleman addressed, saying, for ex-
ample " have seen John Doe and Richard

didates." On receiving such information,
Mr.. Blaine will at once address telegram to
Richard Roe, saying: 81 fully appreciate
your embarrassment, but you must look be-
behind the men and vote for the principles
| they represent. You are looked upon as a
leader in thought and action among your as
| sociates, and 1 hope, as a personal favor to
me. you will not only vote, but work with
US" An appeal like this can have but one
result-Roe goes with the Republicans.

strong vote early.
CHICAGO September 13th-A comparison
of returns from Portland indicates that the
net gain already made in that city is 632 over
las; year, and that if similar gain is made
in all the remaining counties the Republicans
will have carried the State by 400 major
ity. and will have gained 5, 136 votes over the
vote in 1879. These figures are made only as
a curiosity, and merely indicate approx
mately the defeat of to.day's vote. The ma.
jority may be much larger, but it is not likely
to be smaller, as the most favorable returns
are expected from the rural districts.

Democrats are casting much larger vote
than last year, and it is probable that Rep.

special from Augusta says: The morning
opened with perfect weather, which reports
from other parts of the State show to be gem
eral. The result is that heavy vote is being
cast, and while the polling goes on the
shouters on both sides maintain an equally
confident front. Senator Blaine cast his vote
early. He declines to give an estimate in
figures, but feels assured of a complete Re.
publican triumph that will make the Con-
gressional delegation solid. Candidate Plais-
ted says. however, tina. he feels certain that
he will be the next Governor. Congressman
Ladd and Murch are equally as positive in
their claims. Captain Boutells believes that
he will have from 5000 to 10000 majority
over Ladd. Representative Frye shares his
