morning, and do not change the outlook IS
presented last night 2i5towns show net
Republican loss of about 800 on last years
vote. The whole number of towns and
plantations is over COO, but those heard from
cover about two-thirls of the vote Of the
state. At present PIaistcd's cleo
ion is not doubted, and his majority
is various!y estimated nj from 1000 to
$500. Mr.. Blaine comedies him small
plurality.
The vote is the largest ever east. Tho
Prohibitionists, under advice from Nyc,
their candidate, did not generally vote for
him, but directly for Plaistcd as the surcst
means of defeating Davis.

can whose election is conceded b. the Fu-
sionists, but Lindsey has Il majority beyond
doubt. Reeds election is claimed by the
Republicans, but his majority is placed as

returns arc being doctored. La.ld and
Murch have maiorities to spare.
