| tions is over 600, but those heard from cover
| about two thirds Of the vote Of the state.

and his majority is variously estimated at from
| LOGO 10 p 500. Mr.. Blaine comedies him small
| plurality. The vote is the largest ever cast.
| The prohibitionists, under advice from Me-
| their candidate, did not generally vote for him.
but directly for Plaisted, as the surest means OF
| defeating Davis.
The Election Of COngressmen Still
| Disputed
For Congress- Frye Is the only republican
| whose election is conceded by the fustonists.
| but Lindsey has majority, beyond doubt.

but his majority Is placed as low as III, and the
| fusion1sfs claim that returns are being doc
| tored. Ladd and Murch, fusion sitting MEM
bers, have ma1ortties to spare.
