That's the idea, exactly" said
Davies. "Corbett is ON the stage now

your place and make the time within
the next three months, and Jackson
will sign"
This Lloyd said ne could not do, and
Davies proceeded to pick flaws with the

look honest. No place was named.
There was no specification as to whother

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1.-THE follow
ing dispatch was received today by the
Republican state central committee
from Joseph Manley, chairman of the
national Republican committee:
AUGUSTA, Me-, Septem embor 11th.
Hon. M. M. Estee;
The deadly blight OF ''innocuous desue-
tude" struck tho Democracy of Maine
yesterday. We carried the state by
81 900 mnjority-the largest ever given.
Maine sends greeting to California and
we hope your majority will surpass ouis.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 1.-The Repub-
licans regard the result OF yesterdays
election as the biggest victory they have
ever achieved in this state. The vote
for governor. which two years ago was
10000, is reduced $4,000 to 10000, but
even with this, it is alleged that Cleaves
has received 10000 votes. In every one
of the l6 counties of the state the
Democracy has been defeated. Every
city has gone Republican. which 10
something phenomenal. The returns 60
far indicate tt at Johnson, Democrat, will
not get over $4,000 votes to $1,000 cast
reduced by later returns. All four OF
the Republican congressman are elected
by largely increased mnjorities.
The Republicans have carried both
branches Of the legislature, elscting a
solid eenate, which two years ago stood
80 Republicans and Democrat. In the
house OF representatives, which consists
of 151 members. and which two years
ago stood l07 Republicans and Al Demo-
Gratis, the Republicans. it is believed,
have elected ITO members. while the
remainder have been elected by the
Democrats and Populists. The later re-
turns indicate that tho Democrats will
have but Ia in the house of representa-
tives against 1877 Republicans.
AUGUtTA, Ms, Sept. u.-It is claimed
by Republican tonight that Governor
Cleaves' plurality will reach 3S 900, but
Mr.. Manley says 81 900 Is generally re-
garded as correct. The greatest surprise
i the complexion of the house, which
will have but nine Democrats. Reeds
plurality in the First dietrict is 1929 !;
Dingloy's in the Second, $500; Mills
ken's In the Third, $500, and Boutelle's
ia the Fourth, 5000.

Fight HIM.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-Ohampion
Corbett talked freely with an Associated
Press reporter tonight concerning jack
sons refusal to sign the articles for @
fight under the auspices OF the Sioux
City Athletic clab next yoar. He ex-
pressed his hearty disgust at Jackaon's
actions, and reiterated his oft-repeated
views of the colored mans fear to fight
him. Corbett insisted that Jackaon'1
objection to those portions Of the arti-
clea that failed to point out the place OF
fighting and the duration of the contest
were very trivial and ought to have no
consideration in the minds OF the peo-
Pile. He pointed out that, in connection
with his fighs with Mitchell, there was
no certainty regarding the place and
time of the fight, even the day before
the battls. All jackson was after now,
he said. was to secure his $4,000 de-
posited in Chicago and get out OF the
country.
'"Will you accommodate Jackson by
agreeing to fight him within three
months an he deuires?" the reporter
asked.
"Csrtainly. I will fight him in three
months or in two weeks or even tomor-
row ii it were posniole," replied Corbets.
But what 10 the use OF asying that
for jackson knows the Sioux City club
can't make arrangements to pull off the
the fight in that time. First Jackson
said he would not fight me in the south.
Now when there 10 an opportunity to
fight in tho north, he shows his unwil-
lingness to meet me by refusing to nign
articles for a contest"
