THE ELECTION.
The Scenes of the Past Two Days
Repeated in Portland.
SCION CHASE WMOOPs ,ER UP
FOR BLAINE.

Yesterday was cold day, with a bitter,
pleroirg gale which penetrated the thickest
clothing and made hanging about the outside
OF newspaper offices anything but cheerful
business even with the most satisfactory re-
turns But Republicans and Democrats of
Portland didn't seem to MUD the cold wind
and they occupied Exchange street in large
numbers. During the morning the following
dispatches were received by Postmaster
Barker and they were received with cheers by
the crowds when bulletined in the PRESS Of
fee:
AUGUSTA, Nov. 6.
To Clark II. Barker.

feeling txcelienty and has gone out for
walk Everything received looks favorable

California gives 10000 and Oregon 1900 for
Mr.. Blaine. Michigan and Virginia sure for

Maine Correspondent Boston journal.
Later the Argus crowd took their turn at a
cheer when Tabnlator Chase banded in a
dispatch to that office signed by German, Sec
Rotary of the Democratic Nitional Committee,
claiming New York for Cleveland.
AT the Merchants Exchange the lamr-pos
in front Ct the building bore flag, and q
placard announced that this was the same flag
that was hoistsd in the same place as soon as
Blaine's nomination was maae at Chicago.
Scion Chase arrived from the West on the
noon train yestt rday and is stopping with his
sun. Scion has been stamping in Michigan
aud was ''alive for Blaine" He had on a
great, white wide-Awake hat, with faring soft
felt brim, stout suit of clothes and a new
pair of cowhide boots. They laughed heartily
at the reports that Cleveland had carried New
York. why" said Scion. "when struck
New York State from Michigan bonfires were
blazing and bulletins were claiming New
York for Cleveland by 100000 plurality. But
when l got down to Harlem bridge, the bon
fires were all out and the claim had dropped
to 10 600, and when them steers" pull me
from the Lewiston station, tomorrow morning,
to my home, that 10000 will have vanished
and 5000 to 5000 for Blaine will be the cold,
figured facts"
The delay in the returns haa bewildering
effect on some people. Coming down town In
a Spring street car, yesterday, an elderly lady
remarked that it would "be a number of days
before We should have any idea who was elect
ed Governor"

looking TO the selectmen to fill promptly all
calls made by the government for men, and
thereby avoid draft. Mr. Perley felt the re-

on the board not only uutil the close Of the
rebellion, but until every dollar of the towns

The following letter from the Rev. a. II.
WRIGHT, Pastor of ST. Lawrence Street
Church, speaks volumes in praise of the Health
Lift, system of physical exercise which is
growing In favor the more 1t is becoming
known
From long acquaintance with the Health
Lift as o system of cumulative exercise, from
the beneficial results of its use in my own case,
and from actual knowledge of the benefit 9TH
ers have received who have used it sys'ema,i
csly and perseveriugly, l am prepared to add
my testimony to It's great value as a simple,
safe and agreeable means OF physical exercise,
for either man or woman. 1t will stmuls to
the blood, inducs healthy circulation, develop
muscular power and tone and strengthen the
whole system. Much more might be said in
its praise, bat will simply add that If persons
of sedentary habits, like myself, who require
more exercise than they usually get, or fud
time TO lake, will commence the use of the
Health Lift, and continue its use With perse-
verspce and regularity under Mr.. Gaubert's
directions and cautions, l am satisfied they
will find the same cause have, to prize and
praise its excellence.
