Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Sept. EVERY body
was talking here to-day of Speaker
Reed g big plurality, and his friends
among the Republicans in the house
were particularly jubfant. They are
preparing to give HIM a rousing greeting
when he makes his appearance at the
capital tomorrow. His plurality was so
much greater than they had been
led to expect that they hardly knew how
TO account for it, but when the vote was
analysed the Democrats drew some con-
ISOLATION out of the result by discovering
that Mr.. Reed s vote was really lighter
than that received by his opponent in
the district two years ago. However, they
find that the falling off IN the Democratic
vote WIS tlllcI unusually uchNl VI elSG
the Republicans captured a good many
Democrats on the question of state pride.
and it was believed Mr.. Blaine wanted
Reed beaten. 1t is generally predicted
among Democrats that Speaker Reed
will be more audacious than ever, now
that he has received such an
ENDORSEMENT FROM HIS PARTY.
Mr.. McKinley's friends are declaring
that he too, can be elected in spite of
the gerrymander in Ohio that threw him
into strong Democratic district,
but the Buckeye Democrats
are laughing at this claim.
They realize that any amount of money
will be spent in Mr.. Mckinley IS behalf,
and that the best speakers will render all
the aid TO him that his party can muster,
but they clCim that Ohio Democrats are
different from Maine Democrats and that
they are certain TO carry the district for
Warwick.
MAINE IS REPUBLICAN MAJORITY.
ericsson SPRINGS, PA, Sept. 9.-The
president received telegram this after
noon from Mr.. J. II. ManleY of Maine
saying: Full returns show a majority
of 10 600, the largest since 1866 at a state
or national election. Maine stands By
your administration.
