Kahe-t had enlisted on her quota. He re-
turned home after his discharge, and soon
after deserted his wife and family and went
to Camden, where it appears he married
another woman with whom he has since lived
and raised family of three children Kahert
and his last family are now supported by the
town of Camden. That town called on Bel
grade, Kahert's legal residence, to pay the
bills of his family, which Belgrade refuses
to do His first wife and her parents are
now dead, and Belgrade has so far been
unable to find the person who married them,
as it seems they eloped and were married in
some other town, and no record or return of
their marriage appears to have been made to
the town, but a record of their intention OF
marriage can be found Kahert is between

STATE OF MAINE.
The Elections.

The returns thus far received from the
States which held their elections yes
terday are anything but discouraging to
the republican party. In Massachusetts
where the principal part of interest
seemed conferred with Maine people the re-
suit was exceedingly gratifying. but was
not unexpected to those who had watched
the current Of affairs in the Bay State for
the past few weeks. The political atmos'
pierre there will be purer now that the
State mas rid itself OF a demagogue. The
repub lican usccess is complete and glorl
Gus and stunning blow to disorganizers
and factionists. Robinson has made
phenomenal canvass, the result oil which
has placed him in the gubernatorial chair
In Pennsylvania at this writing nothing
definite is known, but several counties re-
ported show large republican gains.
The Virginia election was one OF the
most exciting held there since 1869. De
spatches indicate that Bailey, democrat
is elected by small majority.
In New Jersey. Abbott, democrat can
didate for governor. run behind his ticket
but is probably elected by a greatly re-
duced majority. The republicans OF Con-
necticut have made a marked gain. The
election was for half the Senate and a
q full house. The legislature is undoubt-
eddy republican by at least forty majority
on Joint ballot Nine of the twelve sena-
tors are republican.
In New York the republicans have car
ried the state by $4,000.
Mississippi is undoubtedly democratic
by large majority.
In other states rs far as heard from
there is no hinge particularly note
worthy. On the whole it may be summed
up as republican success, indicating
confidence in the principles OF the party
and faith in it as the best medium to carry
forward such needed reforms as any poiiti
cal party may properly undertake. The re-
suits this year seems to point to triumph
of the republicans in 81.
