EVERY COUNTY IS CARRIED.
REPUBLICANs SWEPT MAINE FR0A ONE END TO THE OTHER.

election in this state for a governor, four representatives in congress, state legislature and county officers was held to-day. The republicans. democrats and prohibitionists had full tickets in the field, while the populists ran can didate for governor and candidates for congress in the First, Second and Third districts, and contested some of the county offices.
 On governor and members of congress, the only question since the opening of the campaign has been as to the size of the republican plurality. The repubh- cans expect 1s,00O, the democrats con- cede 12000. The weather opened cloudy. Rain began to fall shortly after noon and 1t continued raining hard through out the whole western half of the state. Severe thunder storms were reported in New Hampshire and a general storm over this entire state was threatened.
 The electon resulted in an overwhelm- ing republican victory. The republicans boiled the full strength, and probably gained votes among the democrats. The democratic vote showed remarkable falling off as compared with two years ago, in many towns the vote being cnly one-third as large.
 Governor Cleaves was reelected by plurality which at late hour appa- rently exceeds 37,OO0 and may reach 3S,OOo. The four republican congress- men are returned by increased najori- ties.
 In the first district Reeds vote far ex- ceeds any given before, and indica- tions point to plurality of S,sOo. In Biddeford, formerly democratic stronghold, his plurality is 800, and in this city has 1909.
 The legislature, which will elect a senator, will be nearly solidly repub- lican. there being no democratic sena- tors and few democratic representa- lives. ..r,..

 Augusta, Me-, Sept. 10. Hon. Henry B. Cleaves, Portland, Me-:
 The republican party came into power in Maine in 1856 by giving Hannibal Hamlin 25,00O majority. Twice in the history of the party since that day it has given its candidate a majority ex- tteding 10000. In, 1885 it gave Samuel Cony 23, 700 majority over his democrat ic competitor, and in 1868 it gave Gen. eral Chamberlain 6 majority of 27,0OO over his democratic opponent. To-day 1t has given you majority exceeding 37,000 over MT. Johnson, your demo- cratic opponent, being the largest ma jority ever given. We have carried very county in the state and will have at least 127 of the 157 members of the house, which ensures the reelection of Hon. W. P. Frye to the United States senate
 We have elected Hon. Thomas B. A
