ESTIMATING THE SIZE OF THE REPUBLICAN
VICTORY IN THE PINE TREE STATE.
Portland Me. Sept 13.-The campaign which
closed in this State Saturday night has been
the most active known for years on both sides.
1t has been a speaking campaign almost en-
tirely. and not settlement of any size from one
end of Maine to the other has been neglected
on the Republican side the speakers included
the most eminent names in the country.
The Republicans looking for a victory of
most Overwhelming proportions, their estimates
running high 10000 plurality for Powers
and placing 1t under 10000. a oonserva-
tive estimate puts 1t at from $4,000 to 2SOOO
The Democrats generally disposed to con-
cede 10000 at least.
The pluralities for the four Congressman to
be chosen to morrow wil probably run consid-
erably ahead of the ticket. Mr.. Reeds plural
ity may go high as 10000.
