SOmerS6t county.
SKowHEGAN, Sept. 14.-Somerset county's
vote is not all in. The Governor vote in the
towns heard from is about even: The county
ticket is still in doubt. The Republicans claim
he Clerk of Courts, one Senator and Register
of Probate, and have carried two out the eigh
Representatives in the county
Frye's Majority 1900.
LEWISTON, Sept 14.-Full returns from An
droscoggin county give Congressman Frye 500

Kennebec Journals Estimates.
AUGUSTA. Sept. livery few official re-
turns have been received at the State House
to-day and but little more is known with ac-
curacy of the result of Mondays election than
was known last night The figures so far as
received seem to indicate the election of
Paisted by about 1000 majority. In the
Senate the Republicans will have majority
of at least 10 members, possibly II. as it is
thought Brown, one of the Fusion candidates
in Somerset, it defeated.
The Republican majority in the House will
be from 20 to 20.
Kennebec county returns without two small
towns to hear from which gave Republican
majority of six last year. show Republican
majority of 1879.
Lindsey's majority in the Third District is
about 500.
Twelve of the thirteen representatives in
Kennebec are Republicans, a gain of one to
the Republicans from last year.
The meagreness of the returns received at
the State House from which the Journal
makes its computations probably explains the
difference between its and Mr.. Berry's esti-
mates 1t is the remote towns which show Re-
publican gains.
Ladd's Majority Greatly Cut Down.
BANGOR, Sept. H-With the exception of
two representative districts which the Fusion
lists gain, the representatives from this county
stand the same as last year. Aroostook county
will come out with 100 less Fusion majority
than last year, and Ladd's majority will be
greatly cut down.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept: Il, 1880.
Gen James A. Garfield, Mentor, Ohio.
The net result of yesterdays election, as
nearly as can be stated at this hour, 3 p. m.
Tuesday, is about as follows: The Republic
cans have carried the First, Second and Third
Congressional Districts, while the Fusionists
have carried the Fourth and Fifth. The Re-
publicans have carried both branches of the
Legislature by a strong majority, reaching
perhaps two-thirds of each house. On the
popular vote for Governor, Davis and Plaisted
have each over 1900 votes, with the proba-
blities ia favor of Plaisted's coming out few
hundred, perhaps thousand ahead. The re-
suit is undeniably a surprise to us and equally
so to the most Of the Democratic party in
Maine. Our canvass was never more accu-
