BIDDEFoRD, September S.-Biddeford Re-
publicans surprised themselves today when
they reduced the plurality against Mr.. Reed
from 405 to 55, and tonight the widest en-
thusiasm prevails. By common impulse the
crowd Of Republican voters from both cities
and from all over the county thronged the
counting room Of the Journal Office, where
the returns were received. Early In the eve
ming the military band was sent out and half
an hours serenade was given the Journal,
which has for three weeks borne the Drunt
of Democratic criticism against the So
called naturalization outrage. Speaker
Reed himself received hardly more vindica-
tion than the Republicans Of the county
gave the journal tonight. The streets are
full Of people and the air ablsze with ex-
ploding fireworks. The band after serenad-
ing the York club made a parade of both
cities. Biddeford and Saco Republicans go
to sleep tonight supremely satisfied with
their days work. but their bed time was not
SO early as that of the Democrats, who have
hardly been seen since the polls closed.
