The Third Party Movement
a Dismal Failure.
Choice of Sheriff for
Cumberland County in
Doubt.

The indications point to about 1900 ma
jority for Mr.. Bodwell on vote remarkably
large for an off year. The Prohibition vote
will not exceed 1000 if indeed it reaches that
figure, which is doubtful. Congressman
Reed, Dingley, Boutelle and Milliken are all
returned. The returns from the first district
are not complete, but they indicate plural
ity of about 1900 for Mr.. Reed. He has lost
in Biddeford and in the vicinity of the Kit
terry navy yard, but his gains in Cumberland
county. and especially in Portland and Deer
ing are more than sufficient to offset his
losses in York county. The magnificent
plurality given him in Portland he may well
be proud of. Moulton will probably poll $50
votes In the district, and the bulk of them
have come from the Democrats. The whole
county ticket is elected with the exception OF
sheriff. The vote on sheriff is very close
with the chances favoring Webb, the Repabli-
can candidate. All the Republican rep
resentatives are elected in Portland, and the
delegation in the House from this county
will probably stand as in the last Legislature.
The Latest Figures.
Especial to the PREss.l
AUGUSTA, Sept. Midnight latest
returns indicate total vote of 1890 For
Bodwell, 72,OOo; for Edwards, $4,000; Clark,
5000.
The triumphant reelection of Mr.. Reed
gives great satisfaction. J.,H. MANLEY.
MIR. Stephen Eerry's Estimates.
Mr.. Stephen Berry, the agent of the Asso-
ciated Press, makes the following estimates: !:
Two hundred and twenty-three towns give;
Bodwell (Republican) 4o, ,633
Edwards (Democrat) ......-............39,O1l
Clark (Prohibition) ........,......-....... z,ofo
The same towns in 1884 gave:
Robie (Republican) .....--..............o2 2'oSo
Redman (Democratl .....-..........4l,So ,SoS
Eustis (Prohibition) ................... oao oao
Two Greenback candidates es.........-.i..- z,o93
Scattering. ......-........-... ....-.. y
The Republican plurality this year in these
towns is 1862, against 14,o9o. being loss of
l.46S. A similar loss in the towns to hear.
from will give an aggregate vote of $4,000
divided:
Republican
Democratic. 6b, zoo
Pr0hlDltl0n .s......---.'--.' DOW
The Labor ticket had no gubernatorlal
candidate, nor congressional candidate in
the Fourth District We have but few
figures of the congressional vote, and shall
not probably get at the labor vote until the
official figures come in.
All four Congressman are reelected by
handsome majorities, Mr.. Reed in the First
District increasing his plurality over Clifford
to 1900, against e25 over Cleaves in 1884
The Legislature will stand probably %
Republican Senators to three Democratic,
against complete Republican Senate in
1884 Democrats will gain in the House in
equal proportion, but the Republicans will
have handsome majority.
Chairman ManIey's Estimates.
AUGUSTA, Sept. 13.-Chairman Manley
has sent the following telegram:
AUGUSTA, Sept. 49, 1885.
Tothe Editor of the Tribune, NeW York:
The result of to-day's election was lar
larger Republican majority than was anti
cipated. The largest indeed given IN tne
State for the past fifteen years, except In
Presidential years. We expected 1000 or
5000 plurality. The figures at this hour, IL
O'Clock, indicate plurality for Bodwel OF
not less than 1900, and tits not improbable
14.OOo We have carried every Congressional
district. and have elected two-thirds to
three-fourths of the legislature, thus secur-
ing a United States Senator and the county
officers probably in fourteen of the sixteen
counties of the State. The Republican plu-
rality in this city is the largest ever. thrown,
being more than 700 out of a total vote OF
1900. The total vote of the State will be
about 137, 900. which is extraordinarily large
for an off year. Out of this aggregate the
Third Party vote will not exceed $500, fal
less than was expected by the leaders OF the
movement. j. FL. MANLEY,
Chairman State Committee.
