Portland (Mc.) dispatch: Gov. Bur-
leigh and the foui Republican Congress-
men, including Speaker Reed, are elect
cd by majorities larger than were
expected. Mr.. Reeds majority will be
almost double that OF 1883. and the vote
cast all over the State was much larger
than the Republicans had even hoped
for.
In this city four Republican legisla-
tors and one Democrat are elected-the
latter on account Of local dissatisfac-
tion. There is great enthusiasm In the
city among the Republicans over the
result of Reeds election, and q big
meeting was held in City Hall, with an
address by Reed, under the auspices Of
the Young Mems Republican club,
Chairman Manlev OF the Republican
State committee sent at midnight the
following dispatch to President Harri-
son:
"Maine gives the largest Republican
majority thrown In an Oft year since
1886 and larger majority than given
in presidential contest since 1868,
with tho single exception of 1884 and
1888. Gov Burleigh is reelected by a
majority exceeding $4,000. Speaker
Reed is reelected by the largest ma
jority he ever received, exceeding 4, 500.
Representatives Dingley, Boutelle, and
Miliken are elected by maioritics rang
ing from 5000 to 5000. The Pine Tree
State indorses your administration and
remains firm in Its advocacy of protec-
tion to American industries and Ameri-
can labor"
Two hundred and ten give Burleigh
4O,3s5; Thompson, 1892; Clark, SOL;
scattering, 958. The same towns In 1888
gave Republican vote of so, ,35l; demo-
cratic, 37,2 "a; prohibition, 1870; scatter
ing, 1,Os0. Republican plurality, l3, sos:
against l3,O07; Republican gain, sol.
II the towns to hear from fall off in the
same proportion the final vote should
stand) Republican about 81, 500: Demo-
cratic, 35, 500; scattering, 5000; total,
$4,000.
Iu 1886. the last off year, the vote stood
Republican, 6S, 09t; Democratic, 55, ,2S9:
Prohibition, 3, s5S scattering, %; Repub-
lican plurality, IL, 702.
This year the plurality will be about
$4,000, q gain of s, 300 and 1000 ahead
Of the Presidential year. The Prohlbi-
tiOn vote comes united with the scat
terlng or omitted, so II is classed as
scattering and may be considerably
larger. The members OF Congress are
all reelected by large majorlties, Mr..
Reeds being doubled. The county

Frank, II, 339 Reeds plurality, 4,752,
against 2,439 in 1855. The remaining
towns are small and will not materially
change these figures. Cumberland
county is incomplete, but no doubt the
Republican county ticket was elected
by pluralities ranging from 1900 to
1000.
