CESSNA'S CkNAL-BOAT WRECKED.

The news from Maine last night and this
morning give the Democrats no occasion
to change their claims to having carried
the state and elected two congressman
with a third in doubt. All over the coun-
try there were Democratic rejoicings, and
in New York 100 guns were fred in celc-
bration of the victory.
Reports from 900 towns gives Davis a
majority of 2,2el2. TowEs to be heard
from gave last year a Fusion majority of
1907, and with the natural increase Of this
year they cannot fall below 1000, may run
to 1900.
The latest returns from the counties
thus far sh ow that the Legislature stands
as follows: Scnatc-Rcpublicans, 1S; Fu-
sions, -. House, Republicans, 50; Fu-
sions, &C.
The Philadelphia Times has 4 despatch
from Plaistcd saying his majority will
reach 2.O0o.
Frye's Nep.) majority 70: Congress in
the Second district is estimated at 1900.
Murch's (Fusiom friends claim 800 ma
jority for Congress in the Fifth district,
which may be reduced to 200 or 600.
Biaine's Apology.
! Senator Blaine sent the following to
General Garfield:
The net result of yesterdays election,
as nearly as can be stated at this hour G
p. m., Tuesday,, is about as follows: The
Republicans have carried the First, Second
| and Third congressional districts, while
the FusiOnists have carried the Fourth and
Fifth. Tho Republicans have carried both
| branches of the Legislature by 4 strong ni:.-
.iority, reaching perhaps two-thiris OF each
| house. On the popular vote for governor
Davis and pl:sistCd lave Gael, over -, 900
votes, with the probabilities OF Plaistcd
coming out few hundred, perhaps u
Thousand ahead. The result is undcni-
ably 4 surprise to us and equally so to the
mass of the Democratic party in Maina.
| OnT canvass was never accurately taken,
and it showed on Wednesday 4 total vote
for Davis of trillc over 5000, with III as
surcd majority Of G, 900 rs the minimum.
In the four days preceding the election we
lost over 5000 votes by means wcl-known
to the managers of the national Democrat
ic committee, and which do not call for
further specification from me. The total
vote cast in variousiy estimated ut from
140, 600 to $50, 900. and the money all came
from beyond the state. Such scenes were
never before witnessed in Maine.
[Signed] JIG. BLAINE.
1t is supposed that Blaine knew all
about the means potent to influence the
voters OF his state, since it is notorious
that not only :!l the oi,icc-hoI,!c,S, en-
ployccs and contractors of the government
were blachmailcd for the corruption fund.
but Blaine carried with him to the state,
from the .jobbcrs am! syndicate> of New
York, interested in pcrpctuating i'epub-
lican rascality iii the government, :, hum
drcd Thousand dollars i,r election p;,r-
poses. This was added to by contributions
sent from the Republicans OF leading
Northern cite; (evcn Pittsburgh sending
five thousanCD until the corruption fund
was swcllcd to half Il million Of dollars.
The clergy were dragged into The contest
to help Blaine through, and Bob Ingcrsol!
joined hands with the political priests in
preaching the gospel of the De Golye. and
Credit Mobilcr champion, and to break
the force OF Inscrsolrs inii'lcl reputation
preachers were induced 10 intr.d,;cr ilin
at political meetings.
