BLAINE AND HIS son VOTE.
PORTLAND (Me.), September 9th.-When
Blaine left home to vote yesterday, in
company with his son Walker and four
gentlemen who had been calling on him,
he was in a very easy frame of mind, dis
matches from personal friends having
poured in upon him indicating good gains
for the Republicans Blaine was greatly
pleased at the vote in his own town. -Four
hundred was the largest Republican ma
iority ever given in Augusta. At 3 o'clock
a messenger announced the majority as
40. Come, father, said Walker Blaine,
" let US 90 down and make it HI As
Blaine rose to go he said, We are running
at q GOOD gait to-day" lie did not vote
upon the constitutional amendment for the
prohibition of the sale or manufacture of
liquor. In this he followed the example
of many. The vote for the amendment
was comparatively light, and was not made
party question in any section OF the State.
THE FEELING IN WASHINGTON OVER THE
MAINE ELECTION.
WASHINGTON, September 9th.-All of the
of the death of Secretary Folger. The sole
topic OF conversation amongst the heads of
the bureaus and divisions and clerks was
the result of the election in Maine. Every
where the result was received with the ut
most satisfaction. The result of the Maine
election in 1850 had such a depressing in
! tuence upon the Government employees at
! Washington that many OF them attempted
to make their peace with the opposition
party by contributing to the Democratic
campaign fund. The necessity for keeping
up the bold, aggressive warfare that
was started in Maine has imbued
the Government employees with enthu-
siasm. and many of them who have
heretofore declared their intention to take
no part in the campaign now avow their
willingness To do all in their power to make
| the result in Ohio equally satisfactory. The
general impression here before the election
was that Maine would not be carried by The
! Republicans by 4 greater majority than
| 5000, and the fact that this majority is
! doubled gives a confidence to the Republic
cans here that has not been heretofore felt.
| Ii is expected that Blaine will carry Maine
| in November by p 900 at least. The gen
eral opinion among Republicans here is
that the result OF yesterdays election is but
! the f0rerunner of what is to come. The
| Democrats have very little to say, and take
refuge in the assertion that they did not eX-
| ,,,ot ,n,-ti,i,,- ~ from, Nfoirn o-,,,hory
