EVERY COUNTY AND ELECT
EVERY SENATOR.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept 9.--Full re-
turns from the State increase the mag
nitnde of the Republican victory.
Robie, for Governor, will Lave over
| ry every County in the State, for the
every member of the State Senate and
four fifths of the lower branch of the
Legislature.
The most gratifying part Of the vic
tory Is the answer to the scandalOus at
tack on Mr.. Blaine at his home. Three
towns within radius uf six miles of
his house and with population Of 15,-
600 give q Republican majority of
800. The highest majority ever before
given was 800. His own county, where
he has lived for a quarter of a century,
shows a Republican gain Of !, 800 since
the last election, when full vote was
polled. The congressional district in
which M. Blaine lives gives Mr.. Milii-
ken, for Congress, $500 majority, not
withstanding the business depression.
IT is evident that Hannibal Hamlin's
prediction of $4,000 In November will
tprove true.
The Republican canvass cost So, ,472
| less than that of 1880 when they lost
the State. which is a pretty good reply
to the ridiculous Democratic tall
about the use of money. In every
place where the Independents of Bos
ton sent speakers the Republican gain.
are the heaviest. The Democratic
State Committee instructed its sup.
porters to vote for the constitutional
amendment in favor of Prohibition
with hope of using the vote TO thu
Republican detriment in the West
hence the amendment is carried b,
80, ,0c0 majority ; but Mr.. Blaipe's cour
lageous stand on the question, as showl
in his speech last night, and his re
fusal to vote for the amendment IL
order tn crafty the Democrats b,
bringing into the canvass purel,
State question, to the detriment of tn
tariff and other national issues, ha
discouraged the Democrats.
Mr.. Blaine received congratulator,
despatches to-day from every par
Iof the Union. He Is feeling YER
we'll and goes TO Bar Harbor to-moi
row.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 0. The follow
ing despatch was sent to General Loga

ILL.,: The result of the election may b.
thus summarized: The Republican

lature. They have elected the fou
, ma a.lorities, and have given to GovernC
Q Robbie a popular majority of 1900.
4 The Republican vote will reac
very nearly 80, 0,000-40,0 to 5000 large
: than was ever cast before. Our m;
a jority is the largest We have had sin,
a the Presidential election of. 1S68 and +;
l. jexceeds our most sanguine hopes.

THE FEELING AT WASHINGTON.
' WAsHINGToN, Sept. 9.-The so
, topic of conversation among the heat
of bureaus and divisions and clerks t,
day was the victory in Mamie. Ever,
where 1t was received with the utmo
: satisfaction. The result in 1880 ha
f such a depressing effect upon Cover
3 ment employees in Washington thu
t many of them attempted to make the
t peace with the opposition party by col
I tributing to the Democratic campaip
3 fund.
a The necessity for keeping up the boil,
J. aggressive wal fare that was started |
: Maine has imbued Government en-
Iplyees with enthusiasm, and many
l them who have heretofore declared the
intention to take no part in the campaig
{ Inow vow their intention to do al
! their power to make the result in OH
t equally satisfactory. The general in
t preston here before the election ws
that Maine would not be carried by IL
Republicans by greater majority tina
5000, and the fact that these figures al
r doubled gives a confidence to the r,
Q publicans that has not been heretofol
felt.
1t is believed that Blaine will carr
? Maine in November by at least %, ,00
!, The general opinion among Republican
is that the result is but forerunner
what Is to come. Democrats have yer
little to say, and take refuge in the q
:. sertion that they didn't expect an.
!, thing ffnm Maine ANYHOW.
