ALL WENT THE SAME WAY.
FOUR cONdREssMEN SECURE.

AUGUSTA, Me-. Sept 1.-THE Republi-
cans regard the result of yesterdays elec-
ton as the biggest victory they have ever
achieved in this State. The vote for Gov
eInor, which two years ago was 130, 000 is
reduced from $4,000 to 10000, but even
with this it is alleged that Cleaves has re-
ceived 10000 votes In every one of the
sixteen counties of the State the Democ-
racy has been defeated. Every city has
gone Republican, which is something
phenomenal. The returns so far indicate
that Johnston 3D. will not get over 3d. 900
votes TO $1,000 cast for him two years ago,
and this may be reduced by later returns.
All four of the Republican Congressman
are elected by largely increased majorities.
The Republicans have carried both
branches of the Legislature. electng a
solid Senate, which two years ago stood so
Republicans and l Democrat. In the
House of Representatives. which consists
OF 151 members, and which two years ago
stood 107 Republicans and "A Democrats,
the Republicans. it is believed, have
elected 10 members, while the remainder
have been elected by the Democrats and
POpulists.
The latest returns indicate that the
Democrats will have but fourteen in the
House of Representatives, against 1877
Republicans.
1t il claimed by Republicans tonight
that Governor Cleaves' plurality will reach
$4,000, but Mr.. ManIey's estimate of 81. 600
is generally regarded as correct.
The greatest surprise is the complexion
of the House, which will have but nine
Democrats. Reeds plurality in the First
District is 1929; Dingley's in the Second,
$500; Millken's in the Third, $500. and
Bouelle's in the Fourth, $780,
CHICAGO, Sept. 10.-The Record yes
terday published an interview had by a
correspondent at Augusta, Me, with Jo-
geph Manley, the well-knOwn Republican,
member of the National Committee, on
the Presidential nomination IN 1896. He
Is quoted as saying:
I'm the next Republican National con-
ventiou Mr.. Reed will be a candidate for
the first place on the ticket All New
England vii be solid for him, and the
delegates from Maine will be for him in
the convention first, last aud all the time
In the last convention of 1892 MI Reed
could have had the second place on the
ticket gift, but he did not care for it,
and neither will he in 1896 accept the sec
ond place."
Mr.. ManIey was asked: SIS it OF likely
that deal NAV be arranged whereby the
ticket may be Reed and Mckinley or Nc
Kinley and Reed?"
Mr.. Manley. after a few moments re-
Election. replied firmly with an emphe tic
No" Continuing, he said:
"There is no likelihood Of such deal
No; the Republicans of Maine will be as
loyal and as steadfast to Reed as thew
have been to Blaine in the past. There is
no foundation for any claim on the part
of any friend of Governor Mckinley that
Reed was antagonistie to his candidacy
for the Presidency in 1892 Mckinley
himself, during the week of the couven-
ton. went among the delegates and dis
coun nanced tho boom that was being
made by his friends 10 his behalf. Ger
tainly nothing that Mr.. Reed did could
have injured Governor Mckinley in the
convention. Reed was loyal to Blaine"
Touching the Presidency and the ability
of candidates Mr.. Manley made a cursory
survey of the field. He said:
"There are likely to be some candidates
for the nomination other than Mr.. Reed or
Governor Mckinley. Ny ideal for the Re-
IL
he is undoubtedly the most accomplished
man from his long experience in the pub
lie service. But he is now Y years old.
This also applies to Justin Morrill, Of Yer
mont Robert Lincoln might be presented
IS the favorite son of Illinois. General
Harrison may again be candidate for the
nomination, but the ex-Presideut is not
likely TO have the same strength as in the
convention of 1892.
do 1 think the Populists will be factor
in the next Presidential campaign? Well,
no, don't l don't believe they will hold
the balance of power in the next Electoral
College"
''WhO are the Democrats likely to nom
mate for the Presidency 10 1852"
Just now there seems to be some feel.
ing that the party from sheer necessity
will turn to Grover Cleveland for third
term. OF course such move would be an
innovation and would be dangerous for
the party. Yet there are some people who
viii say that third term for President
Cleveland would be no violation of the
traditions of our country. for the reason
there was an interregnum between his
first and the present terms. But this ar
gument Is not likely to stand, for public
sentiment would be decidedly against the
proposition, as was the case when General
Grant, in the height of his fame, sought a
third nomination in 1880 after he had been
out of his office four years General
Grants experience ought to settle the
question of third-term Presidential candi-
dates for all time"
Referring 10 David B. Hill as a possible
candidate, Mr.. Manley remarked that the
Senate Of New York had proved himself
an exceptionally able man. The tariff.
according to Mr.. Manley. would be the
issue between the two great parties in 1896
