AUGUSTA, Ne, Sept. S.-The Republican
majority in this city is $50, which is 200
more than was allowed by the Republican
canvass. If this ratio is kept up throughout
the state the plurality for Gov. Robbie VIII be
$4,000. Blaine claims that the state has
gone Republican by $4,000. But two cities
have sent official returns as yet. These two
show gain OF liz in Bangor and loss in
Lewiston for the Republicans of 260.
BANGOR, Me-, Sept. S.-The almost uni
versal expression among Democrats here is
that they are being neglected by the national
Democratic committee. Hardly dollar or a
speaker has been sent into the state. Every
thing was allowed to go by default in the be-
ginning because this is Blaine's state. Be-
sides, some Democrats said that it would not
pay to carry the state in September, because
the Republicans would do as they did in 1880
after the September election and fill the state
with men and money and carry the Novem-
Der election. During the past three weeks
the National Republican committee has sent
thousands of dollars and the best of Repub-
lican national speakers into the state. They
have distributed protection novels and other
documents, and have done everything posi-
bic to carry the state for ROBBIE in September,
stating that one vote for Robbie now is worth
ten for Blaine in November. NOtwithstand-
ing all this the Democrats have done some
good work during the last two weeks They
have been surprised themselves at the lack
OF spontaneous enthusiasm for Blaine. While
there was no help from outside the state.
local speakers canvassed the country towns
Every inducement was made to win the Irish
voters Tor Blaine, but with almost no result.
Notwithstanding every effort Of the Blaine
people there has been less than
gain Of 100 majority over that of 1882
in this city. Some local Democratic county
candidates are elected. The Republicans
make no demonstration tonight, as they
know with all their advantages the Blaine
magnet has not accomplished much. In
brief, the Democratics say that they have had
no encouragement from the national COM
mittee under the circumstances and think
they have done well.

but is beyond the call of our canvass, which
is doubtful. The vote was divided. l am
now hopeful for Il, 600, but have no basis
for an opinion which would materially assist
you"
