General Republican Success Throughout
the State.

Yesterday was a magnificent day, just the
sort of weather to call out voters, but, while
neither side responded with the alacrity that
marked the fall campaign, there was fair
vote thrown; about a thousand less than last
spring. Consequently Mr.. Senter's majority of
541 this year compares very favorably with his
extraordinary majority last, when he received
1224 more votes than his competitors, and es-
pecially so when we consider that this year
there were three regular candidates in the
field. His plurality this year is GAG.
In Ward dodgers were circulated by those
hostile to Mr.. Senter's reelection claiming that
he had worked against the interests of the
Ward. Besides this there were any quantity
OF split tickets, Democratic and Republican
names for the various offices being freely inter-
changed. AS a result Mr.. Andrews received
a few votes more than Mr.. Senter. But the
confusion and excitement caused failure to
elect two of the Councilmen, Mr. Thurston
being the only lucky man of the three nomi-
nees. Another election will be called to
elect two Councilmen.
In Ward it is claimed by the Democrats
that there was no election except the Demo-
cratic Warden. The Republicans say that
two Ward votes were thrown causing a tie,
and that the counting of such votes was illegal;
that the Republican nominees were elected
The meeting was adjourned over until 10 a. m.
today for another election, but if carried by
the Democrats the election will probably be
cont ssted. The personal troubles in this Ward
made remarkable change in the figures, the
Ward usually showing up some 800 Demo.
cratic majority.
In Wards 8, and 6 there were numbers of
split tickets, but the Republican candidates
were all handsomely elected.
In Ward the Democratic candidates were
all elected except Mr.. Sullivan. This nomina-
ton was rejected by the better class of the
party on the ground that man who had been
convict was not the sort of person for the
City Government. Consequently there is no
election for one Councilman in this Ward. 1t
is to be hoped that the Democrats will re-
member their action yesterday, whenever anoth
er election is called to fill the vacancy, and that
Republicans will remember and turn out in
force to the support of their candidates.
The straight Greenbackers threw about a
hundred votes.

Mrs. Ann e. Fernald.

The following memorial, drawn up by vote
of the directors of the Portland Fraternity at
their last regular meeting, will be of interest
to the friends of the late Mrs. Fernald:
Since the last regular meeting of the Board
of Directors of the Portland Fraternity, an es-
teemed and valuable member, Mrs. Ann E.
Fernald, has been removed by death to the
spiritual world.
We, the members of the Board of Directors,
desire to place upon record this tribute of our
affection and esteem and our grateful APP pre-
citation of the good service she has lendered
this institution from its beginning. Animated
at all times by an earnest desire to be of help
full service to the needy, this institution secured
her cheerful cooperation in all of its undertake
!ngs and was materially benefited thereby.
Whilst we can but miss the outward pres
ence of one whose virtues and good deeds won
both our affection and respect, we are remind
ed of that deeper sense of loss which must be
experienced by those who were bound to her
by family ties; and to them we would extend
our sincere sympathies and :::--::s,s them in the
hope common to all Christians that the death
of the righteous is not without its blessed com.

sNELBAKER's MAJEsTICs.
There was very large audience gathered at
Portland Theatre last night TO see Snelbaker's
Majestic Consolidation. Half hun dred
strong it was impossible to present all the per-
formers enrolled under the banner of the
"Majestics" without adopting the daring in
novation of giving at times three distinct acts
upon the stage at the same time-an occur
renee unprecedented, we think, in the record
of entertainments of this kind. The Nautch
girls, imported by COL Snelbaker expressly
for this gigantic company, proved very at
tractive; their dance, with its grace and aban-
don, having a peculiar uniqueness and in
terest. 1t is safe to say that fresher, brighter
and more varied entertainment never de-
lighted Portland audience. Little All Right
still a most marvellous performer, in his won
derful "Slide for Life" was as heartily ap-
plauded as ever.

Tonight Frank Mayo and company will ap.
pear at Portland Theatre in evan, the Virgin
ian,' one of BARLEY Campbell's plays. Camp
bell, it will be remembered, is the author of
"My Partner" "The Galley Slave" and
Fairfax" The st. Louis Republican says this
drama was played by Mr.. Mayo and his able
company to a full house, and the audience re-
ceived it with every mark of sympathy and ap-
probation. Frank Mayo acts the part of Van
(Vandyke Vermont, with the brawny robust
ness of the blacksmith, having heart full of
devotion for his family and strong arm in its
defence. He is as tender as child, and as
rugged as a savage being reused, and draws the
contrast finely with perfect repose in heart and
muscle. His play with the child is excellent,
and the child's prattle, very cleverly done by
baby Thropp, is sweet feature.
