The republicans of Augusta won glorious
victory at the polls yesterday and asserted
with no uncertain sound their unswerving
allegiance to the Plumed Knight. 1t was a
perfect deluge, an avalanche. 1t was the
peoples triumph, a citizens victory. and
attested stronger than words the love and
confidence with which Mr.. Blaine is regarded
by his fellow citizens. Although a sharp
shower fell in the afternoon. yet all things
considered it was 4 favorable day for the
election and republican ascendancy, and the
conditions were suspicious for the movement
of voters. Soon after the opening of the
polls it became evident that the people were
in earnest, and determined. Old line demo-
Gratis in many instances walked up to the
ballot box and voted for Robe and their dis
tinguished townsman. Our Irish American
voters were alive to their interests and more
than one half their vote was cast for the
ROBBIE ticket. The ladirs, some half dozen

it became evident that the republicans were
making large gains and at noon they were
confident of 400 majority. But the over

and the republican majority is the biggest
ever known. Following is the vote

dropped in despair. At o'clock P. NJ,

1868 that language was dropped, and from that
