AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 1.-THE elec-
tion for state officers was held Mon
day. Returns have been received

these indicate that the state has re-
elected Gov. Cleves (rep.) over Charles
f. johnson dem by amajority which
will exceed $1,000 the largest in the
history OF the party. Chairman Man
ley, of the republican state committee,
estimates from the returns received
and from private advices that the en-
tire vote will exceed 100000 of which
Gov. Cleaves (rep.) will have over
$4,000.
The republicans have carried every
county in the state, and it lis esti-
mated that the Legislature will have
republican majority of 1885, which in
sures the reelection of Senator Will
liam p. Frye. Chairman Msnley tele-
graphed Senator Frye as follows:
ITO Hon. William p Frye, lewiston Ken
nobec gives $500 majority and elects solid
delegation Cleaves will have $1,000 majority
over johnson. We have carried every county.
/ congratulate you sincerely. You have the
largest legislative vote ever given a senator, a
well earned and deserved decompllment."
Thomas b. Reed has been reelected
to congress by plurality estimated at
10000. Nelson Dingley, Seth ii, Milli-
gan and H. Boutelle are also reelected
to congress by majorities ranging
from 5000 to 5000. The total vote will
probably exceed 10000.

o'clock sent a message to Henry b
Cleaves at Portland in which he
claimed the state had gone re
publican by majority exceed
ing $1,000 as far as the election
| for governor was concerned, tn,
largest ever given. In 1855 Hanniba
Hamlin had $4,000 majority. Samue

state. Reports from all over the stat,
indicate that the republicans are hal
mad with JOY over their victory
