A FALLING OFF IN MAINE
REPUBLICAN LOSSES REPORT
ED FROM EVERY SECTION.

AUGUSTA, ME-, Sept. 13.-Chalrman
Manley has sent the following telegram
to the editor OF the Tribune, New York:
THE result of to-dav's election is a far
larger Republican majority than was an
uclpated-the largest, indeed, given in
the State for the past fifteen years, except
in Presidential years. We expected 1000
or 5000 plurality. The figures at this
hour III O'Clock indicate plurality Tor
Bodweu of not less than $1,000, and
not improbably $4,000. We have car
ried every Congressional district and
elected two-thirds to three-fourths OF the
Legislature, thus securing the Senate
and county officers probably in fourteen
of the sixteen counties of the State. The
Republican plurality IN this city
is the largest ever thrown, being more
than 7C0 out of a total vote OF 1900. The
total vote of the State Will be above 137,-
600, which is extraordinarily large for an
off year. Out of this the aggregate of the
third party will not exceed $500, far less
than was expected by the leaders or the
movement. j. H. MANLEY,
"Chair'n Republican State Committee"
IN KENNEBEC COUNTY.
The Republicans of Kennebec county
elect every county officer, both Senators
and every Representative except one
by about 5000 plurality. Milliken
for Congress will have about 1000 ma
jority. The Republicans won complete
victory IN this city, the vote being 1,239
for Bodwell, $40 for Edwards, Al for
Clark, giving Bodwell a majority over
the Democratic candidate OF 729 votes, the
largest majority ever obtained by the Re-
publicans in Augusta. In 1894 RObie's
majority was 500 and his plurality 643.

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 18.-Thirty
towns give for Governor: Bodwell, Re-
publican, 1885; Edwards, Democrat,
8,97S; Clark, Prohibitionist, 671. The
same towns in 1884 gave RObe 12, 740,
Redrnan 9,1S1, Eustis 259, and Greenback
563. This shows a Republican loss of
1,172.
STILL ON THE LOSE.

wards, A. 1892, and Clark, 929, against In
1884: Robie, 1888; Redman, 14,5S2; Pro-
hibltionists, 345, and Greenbackers, I'll;
showing a Republican loss OF 1851. An
estimate of the gains in the first Con-
gressional district indicates that Reed,
Republican, will have from 1900 to 1900
plurality.
Seventy towns give Bodwell 10, Ala; Ed
wards, 10, 623. and Clark 1,03S, against In
1884, Robie, 21,951; Redman 1921; Pro-
hibitIonists, 1863; Greenbackers, 800. and

is 3,79i, against $500. This is Republi-
can loss of 1899.
1881 LOST IN 100 TOWNS.

Edwards 22,52l, and Clark 1,448. against
Robie in 1914, 81, ,s24, Redman "a, 157, Pro-
hIbition 573, ,Gfeenback ,339, and scatter

against 1867, a loss of 1926.

1,765, against Robie in 1884, 80, 400, Red
man 29,243, Prohibition 649, Greenback

2,931.

1,947, against, in 1884, Robie 44,64i, Red
man 1895, Prohibition TAI, Greenback
1,701, and scattering s; a Republican plu-
rality of 1913, against 10,706-a loss of
1852.
The Congressional vote is being CON-
puted. The First district gives 1,200 plu-
rality for Reed, and the indications are
that the other districts will give much
larger Republican figures.
223 TOWNS HEARD FROM.
Two hundred and twenty-three towns
give: B0dwell, Rep, 48.633; Edwards,
DEM, 39,071; and Clark, Prohibition,
2,373. The same towns in 1884 gave: RO-
bic, Republican, $3.50; Redman, Demo-
crat, Al 800; and Eustis. Prohibition, $40;
Turo, Greenhack candidate, 1908, and
scattering 8. The Republican plu-
rality this year in those towns is
1862, against IA, 4,030 in 1884, being a loss
OF 4,468. A similar loss in the towns yet
to be heard from will give an aggregate
vote OF 127 900, divided as follows: Repub-
lican 6S,600, Democratic 55,200, Prohibit
tion $500. The labor ticket had no Guber-
natorial candidate nor Congressional can
didate in the Fourth district. But few
figures of the Congressional vote are In,
and the labor vote will probably not be
known until the official figures come in.
THE FOUR CONGRESSMAN.
All four of the Republican Congress-
men are elected by handsome maiOrities.
Reed. in the First district, increasing his
plurality over Clifford to ] POO against 925
over Cleaves in 1884. The Legislature
will stand probably % Republican sena-
tors 10 Democrats, against complete
Republican Senate in 1884. The Demo-
Gratis will gain in the House in equal pro-
portion, but the Republicans will have a
handsome majority.
Cumberland county has probably gone
Republican, except for Sheriff, whom the
Democrats have doubtless elected on the
liquor question.
