AUGUSTA, Me-, September l0.-The fol-
lowing dispatch was forwarded from here
to-day:
Hon. John a. Logan, Chicago:
Returns from remote sections OF the
Slate increase the majority beyond all
expectations. In 358 towns the Repub-
liesn majority over Redman exceeds
1900 and the prospect is that with COM
pleie returns the majority may reach
1900, and possibly be the largest ever
given In the history Of the Republican
party In Name, with two exceptions at the
close OF the war. The latest returns show
that the Republicans have carried every
county in the state, and have elected
every member OF the State Senate. The
magnitude OF the Republican vote Is sur
PRISE to both parties, and shows that a
large number OF Democrats joined our
ranks.
