lection of the Australian Ballot Where
by in This State 5000 Voters Lost Their
Ballot-They Were Not of the Ignorant
Glass But Prominent Men In Many
Cases-How the Victory Was Won.
Augusta, Me-, September 13.-Chair-
man Msnley announces the official result
in the following telegram:
Headquarters republican State Com
mlttee,
Augusta. Me-, September 10, 1894.
Hon. Fl. B. Cleaves, Portland, Me-.
The completed official returns show
that one hundred and aeven thousand
two hundred and forty-nine l07, ,249)
votes were cast and counted on Monday
last. and that your majority over your
Democratic competitor is 3S, 424.
say that 107, ,249 votes were cast and
counted. From the most reliable data
that can be obtained, over 5000 votes
that were cast were not counted, being
defective in their marking. II these
votes had been counted according to the
intent of the voter, your majority over
your Democratic compstitor would have
exceeded 0,000. Any system that dis
franchises 5000 citizens and takes from
them the right of suffrage, has such in
herent defects that the first duty of the
Repu bli can legislature ought to be to SO
amend the law that they cannot occur
again.
NOT THE IGNORANT.
The class of citizens who lost their
votes was not the ignorant. In this
city, Hon. James W. Bradbury, United
States ex-senator, and Hon. Jos. H. Will
liams, Ex-Governor of the state, both
had their ballots thrown out because
they did not mark them in the right
place.
The Democratic vote was 80, $40, and the
Republican vote was SO, ,O64. The Re-
publicans elect every senator and all
but four members of the House of Rep
resentatives.
? I doubt if such state of affairs ever
before existed in any state in this coun-
try. With the Democratic party in full
possession of this government, only one
halt of the party in Maine marched to
the POLLS to support an administration
which they had tried to elect.
The significance of your overwhelming
majority is: First, that the people Of
Maine emphatically endorse your able,
patriotic and economical administration
of state affairs. Second, it is commen-
dation of our delegation in the Senate
and House Of Representatives for the able
discharged their duties, and for their
untiring efforts in trying to defeat the
Democratic bill of SALE" Third, it is
an earnest protest on behalf of one-half
of the Democrats of Maine against the
"partysperfidy and dishonor" of its own
adm inistration.
Maine is true to it's motto.

he was living with that he died, or whether
he died of poison administered by some per-
son, is the question that is agitating the in
habitants of Readtield and the neighboring
towns.

Forest Fires i'm Minnesota.

FOREST fires have done untold damage
in Minnesota, and the loss of life is appall-
ing. The town of Hinkley has been wiped
out of existence, and in this town alone 800
persons persisted. 1t will be several days
before the full extent of the disaster will be
known. The towns of Pokegama Cumber-
land and Grand Lake have been practically
wiped out of existence, and in each the loss
of life was heavy. A relief train sent out
from Duluth was compelled to return.
Those on board counted the charred and
half-burned bodies of seventy-five dead peo-
Pile along the railroad tracks, The doctors
who accompanied the relief party estimated
the total number of dead to be 400 TO 800.
The refugees from Sandstone, another town
which was wiped out of existence, caught
the relief train at Rutledge. On their way
across the country they counted the corpses
of sixty victims of the fires.

HOstilities in Samoa.

RENEWED fighting among the natives Of
Samoa is reported, with forcible inter-
ference of British and German warships.
1t is said that the ships of Great Britain and
Germany have at last taken action with
view to ending the native disturbances
which have heretofore appeared to be in
minable. Two skirmishes had taken place
between the warning tribes, resulting in the
killing of eight or ten natives and the
wounding of many more, and, besides, the
natives had become short OF food, not hav-
ing planted or looked after their crops, and
they had taken to stealing from foreigners
throughout the island. Their mode of liv-
ing had produced great deal of illness,
much suffering and many deaths, so that in
the interests of common humanity inter-
ference by the powers became absolutely
necessary. Something had to be done to
put stop to the so-called warfare.
