| The Vote in the Second District.
| LEWISTON, Sep. 14.-In the Second Dis
| trict Dingley (rep.) is reelected by about
| 1000 majority over Garcelon (dem.) and 3,00t
| majority over both Garcelon and Eustis, the
labor party and Prohibitory party candidate
| Dingley runs ahead of the Republican ticket
several hundred votes-100 in .SagadahOC
alone. Garcelon was abandoned largely in
many parts of the district by Democrats who
voted for Eustis, thus causing him to run far
behind his ticket In Lewiston Garcelon run
behind; in MinOt, Poland and many other
towns large number of Democrats cut him
and voted for Eustis. In Rockland almost
half the Democrats voted for Eustis, the vote
standing, Dingley 9lS, Garcelon 81, Eustis
302. Min0t, which gives Bodwell $50 and
Edwards 1888, stands 1S3 for Dingley, "a for
Garcelon and 9S for Eustis. Perhaps this is
the result of Lawyer McGillicuddy's zap
pearance there with Mr.. Eustis. Auburn
gives Dingley 912, Garcelon 314 and Eustis
$50. In other wards over 800 Democrats vot-
ed for Eustis. Richmond does not give a
single vote to Garcelou, notwithstanding 274
votes were given Edwards. Every Democrat
voted for Gusts, who received 293 votes, to
337 for Dingley. This was the result of a
trade by which the labor party nominated
Theobald (dem) for the Legislature.
