AUGUSTA Me-, Sept. 14.-Maine has fol-
lowed the example of Vermont and declared
for the Republican ticket by the largest
majority in her history. According to the
latest returns tonight the plurality for
Powers, Republican, for Governor, will be
over $4,000 and probably in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. Hon. T. B. Reed is reelected
to the House by over 10000 plurality. Re-
turns show a majority of about 10000 for
Mr.. Dingley for Congressman from the Sec
ond district, over 1900 for Miliken in the
Third district, and practically the same for
Mr.. Boutele in the Fourth district In the
State Legislature the Democrats will ap-
parently have less than half dozen of the
Representatives in the House. and not one
in the Senate.
AS was anticipated, the Republicans
poled a tremendous vote and secured many
Democratic ballots. On the other hand,
many diafected Democrats remained at
home. and only few voted for the nominee
of the gold-standard wing. The Populist
and Prohibitionist votes have been received
from only a few towns, but it is evident
that neither party polled as large a vote
as two years ago.
The election returns surpassed the high
est estimates made by Republican man.
ayers. The Evening Express estimates
show that the State will give 1000 plurality
for Powers.

would fall but it did not, and about
o clock the came out bright. Every
where at the polls the organization of
the Republicans was evident in the activ-

was preserved at the polls throughout the
State without much difficulty
