for Democrats and Tough on the
G. o. Il.
Special to the Globe.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 2S.-The returns
sent from here and Lewiston making
the Republican plurality in Maine 49,
495 were mere guesswork. The claim
of Blaine on the night of the election
that the state had given fully 10000, and
subsequent estimates of State Chairman
ManIey placing the Republican plural
ity at even higher figure, have been
badly shattered by the official returns
received at the state department. These
show the following vote: Republican,
~, 404; Democratic, 6l,349; Labor, 1,526;
Prohibition, 3, III; scattering, Is. Total
vote, 1915. The Republican plurality
is only 1908, and the majority 1888.
At the September election in 1884 the
vote was as follows: Republican, H.
779: Democratic, 5000; Greenback
Labor. 3,147; Prohibition, l,157; scatter
ing, 2S3. Total. 140, 1876. The Democrats
have increased their vote 3,279 and the
Republicans 1,625. The Republican
gain, as compared with the September
vote Of 1884. is nearly 81 per cent, while
that of the Democrats is almost 81 per
cent. A proportiocate gain in New
York would give that state to Cleveland
by over $1,000 plurality; Indiana by
over $1,000; New Jersey by almost
5000; Connecticut by 3,700, and Michi-
gan bY 3, 400.

He has scar on one leg and scars on

of TascOtt. His accuser is an
unknown man who has followed him
through Oregon. California. Nevada and
other Western districts for several

the police. The police, this afternoon,
released Carter on the ground that his

Carter was re-arrested, charged by O. 81.

Sheriff Weber says there is no ground

BIaine's political Revolution"
New York Herald

The executive committee of the Ma

have investigated the figures of the
Maine election with the following re-
suit:
The Republican vote in Maine in 1884
was 1912: the gain in 1888 was 69l or
lib. The Democratic vote in 1884 was
50,061; the gain in 1888 was 2.047. or
1-29. Let us suppose similar revOlu-
ton occurs in other stateS-take Michi-

will be in Michigan, instead, as the Re-

Hurd addressed an audience of 5000

tax reduction had been clearly defined
by the presidents message, and its i'm
portance was forced on the attention of
the people by the 800, 100000 of surplus
money in the treasury, which would
double that amount but for the pur-
chase of bonds at high premium. Mr..
Hurd made a magnificent appeal for
tax reduction. the protection of the con-
sumner from the robbery of the present
tariff, the destruction of trust by the
removal of high tariff duties, and the
extension of our foreign markets by the
adoption of the free system of political
economy. His speech made profound
