thirds to threc-fOurths of the
Legislature thus securing us the Senate,
| ana county offices in probably fourteen
OF the sixteen counties of the State.
The Republican plurality in this city is
| the largest ever known, being more than
. seven hundred out OF Il total vote of
800. The total vote of the State will
be above $4,000, which is extraordjnar-
lily large for an off year. Out 0: this
aggregate, the third party vote viii not
exceed }, 500, far less than was expected
| by the leaders of the movement.

Benz. F. Hinckley (Rcp.) is elected by
100 plurality, and the four Republican

from the last State election.

gin County complete gives Bodwell, Re-
publican, 4,136; Edwards, Democrat, g.
514; Clark, Prohibitionist, $40. The Re-

The Republican plurality this year in
these towns is $500, against l+,O30 in
1884, being loss of 4,468. A similar

publican Congressman are re elected by
handsome majorities, Reed, in the First

stand probably twenty-eight Senators to
three Democrats. against a complete
Republican Senate in 1884. The Demo-
Gratis will gain in the House in equal pro-
portion, but the Republicans will have

has probably gone Republican, excepting

doubtless elected on the liquor question.
