Auburn by as large a majority as they
estimated. Lewiston is closer, but the
: republicans will carry it by a good
majority. There are more foreign votes
than usual for republicans, and green
hackers are eating the fusion ticket
somewhat. Fogg, fusion, for Congress,
runs behind. Most voting here is done
in the afternoon. There Is great variety
of tickets in circulation.
The Travellers special from Augusta

Representative Fry shares his confidence
Ii the result proves them correct it is i'm
possible to see how the republican majo-

vote of last year.
The HerGLd'S Bangor special says, |
election day opened pleasant, and political |
excitement runs high. Voters are coming |
in full numbers, and those who are well |
informed say they never knew a year |
when the people manifested so much in
tercst and went to the polls so largely. 1t |
IS now too early to give any idea of the |
relative vote thrown.
4 Portland special 10 the Herald.
The polls opened with indications Of
heavy vote, with good deal Of scratch
-T-sr- l.
voting in q solid body. The fusion vote 1
will be in early. Ali is quiet. The indi-
cations are that Nye men are voting for /
Plsisted. There is an astonishing crowd |
at the polls. Berry, secretary of the |
greenback committee, claims thst True,
republican candidate for sheriff, has
been scratched enough to defeat
him. Dsmoc ats challenged every
Irish republican vote 10 Ward
Four. In Beddeford the election
proceeding earnestly with the promise of
a full vote. Democrats are more conf
dent this morning than ct any previous
time. at II 8 n the republicans led in
six Of the seven wards, having about 60
majority.
Portland, Me-, 13 The weather is
beautiful, and very heavy vote is being
thrown at all the wards. Tables from
six wards, at noon, and the tally from
others, give the republicans 1890, fusion-
lists 1873. Telegraph taIlies from all
wards, at u o'clock, to the republican
state committee rooms, give republicans
1856 fusienists l,433. This is three
seventies Of the city vote. Fusionists
made strong efforts TO get q strong vote
early.
2 o'clock-The tallies ofPortand gives
republicans SOL, fusionists 2,722, a re-
publican majority of 2S9.
Chicago, ia comparison of returns
from Portland, indicate that the net gain
already made in that city is Gas over last
year. and that if similar gain is made in
all remaining counties, the republicans
will have carried by 400 majority, and
will have gained 3, 136 votes over the
votes in 1879. These figures are only for
curiosity aad merely indicate apprSpri-
ately the drift of to-day's vote. The ms
joriiy msy be much larger, but it is not
likely to be smaller, as the most fayora-
bic returns are expected from rural dis
tricts.
BY the process of figuring the vote of
the state, if the gain is made in other
parts, proportionate TO that in Lewiston,
at the present time, it will be Is, sis repub-
licsn majority over all.
Lewiston, Me-, Is, 1 p.m.-At this
hour, Lewiston gives Davis so, Plaisted
675. Every body Is working and the
weather is fine, bringing out fu.l vote.
Fogg runs behind his ticket Auburn
will vote very largely. Republicans are
confident of Increasing the majority OF
last year The prohibit n party vote
for Joy, prohibition, instead Of Nye, en-
forced prohibition. Only two votes are
reported in Lewiston so far FOR that ticket.
Bedde ord, I3.-The voting has so far
been quiet, each side endeavoring to get
out full vote At noon but light vote |
was thrown. and republicans had a small
majority. They also led in Kennebunk |
AMI Saco. La Kennebunk and Kenne-
bunkport democrats are casting q much |
larger vote than last year and it IS |
probable the representative may be |
gained. The towns Kennebunk and
Lyman County will be close. The tenn
perance vote IS small.
