The State Election in Maine, With the Re-
turns as Far as Received.
PORTLAND, Sept. S.-The citizens of Maine
will to-day elect Governor, four members
of Congress, thirty-one State Senators, ISL
Representatives and full boards of county
officers. The gubernatorial vote in 1880 stood:
Plaisted (Fusion), 73 713; Davis (Republican),
1854; scattering. 545; total 147,S02. The
Presidential vote stood: Garfield, 74,052;
Hancock, G5,211; Weaver, 40; Neal Dow,
56; scattering, 1S9; total, 143. 9O3; showing
Republican plurality OF s,S4l, against mi
nority of 100 in the gubernatorial election in
September. The Presidential rate gener.
ally gains on the gubernatorial vote of the
same year owing to the slackened exer-
tions of the defeated party. Therefore, to
the winners Of the majority to-day may be
added fair increase for the Presidential
majority in November The vote of 1880
was the heaviest ever cast. Governor Robie
has served one term; he is popular and of
the highest character. John B. Redman,
the Democratic candidate, is younger man,
popular, everywhere respected and there is
no reason why each should not command a
full party vote. Although the interest is in
the Presidential contest, and outside COM
parsons will be made with 1880, the figures
of the most recent vote, that of 1882, will be
used for press comparisons in conformity
with usual custom, in order to give the
closest possible estimate Of what the present
years vote will be.
