NAMES ELECTION
From Returns Received the ESti-
mated Plurality Of Republi-
cans Is 1890.
ALI the Republican Congressman
and Nearly All the Legisla-
ture Elected.
Some Expressions Of Opinion by
Prominent Men on the
Result.

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept 16.-The re-
turns from the small towns and plan
tations in distant parts of the state are
as usual, coming in very slowly, and it
is not probable that all of them will be
heard from before tomorrow. The
Vote from cities and towns which poll
more than two thirds of the entire vote
of the state, indicate, however, that the
Republican plurality will be between
tory of the state.
In every county in the state, the
Republican ticket was successful, and
almost every town showed a Repub-
lican gain The Democratic vote is
about 40 per cent less than in 1892.
About 20 per cent of this has gone to
the Republican ticket, and the stay-at-
homes are responsible for the other
half.
The vote of the .Populists and Pro-
hibitionists throughout the state shows
a loss from 1892 Of about 26 per cent.
Basis of the Estimate.
The vote from 300 out of 519 cities,
towns and plantations is 66.92l for
Powers and u, 143 for Frank. In the
last election in 1894, when Cleves was
elected by the then unprecedented ma
jority of 10000, these towns gave the
Republican ticket 56 400, and the Dem
ocrats "a, ,430, Republican gain in plural
ity of 1881 this year. Considering the
vote of the missing towns, two years
ago, if this proportion of gain is kept
up, the total vote is estimated at 1874 900
in round numbers Republican 50, 100;
Democrats "a, 340 scattering, $500
Republican plurality, 1890. Any
thing more than rough esti-
mate Of the plurality based on
the figures of last year in missing towns
is impossible. In the First congress
sional district, Reeds plurality is TO-
466 Dingley has about II 900 plurality
in the Second district, and AIilliken
nearer Il, 900 in the third. There are
more missing towns III the Fourth dis
trict than in any other, but from the
figures at hand it is estimated that
Boutelle's plurality will be almost l5,

MENTORS IN LUNATIC AsYLUMs.
Brafny People Who Are Kept UNDER

Brainy People who Are Kept Under
22j.s Lock and Key.
"A lunatic asylum is about the last
place any one would search in for in-
genious and valuable inventions, isn't
Sit?" said the resident physician Of one
of the largest Of these institutions.
I've have patient in this asylum
now who believes he is shut up in the
Old Fleet prison for the national debt.
In the hope of raising the money to
ray this tri1e off and obtain release
he has for the last two years devoted
his poor brains to inventing things.
Strange to say, among a host Of utterly
absurd ideas, he actually has produced
two which are really practicable. His
friends and I have supplied him with
such harmless materials as he requires,
and he has just finished a simple auto
matte continuance for the head Of a
lawn tennis racquet, to pick up the
balls and abolish STOPPING. Itacts per-
fectly, and I'm so convinced there is
money in it that / have advised his
case he becomes cured. His other in
yention is Of a different kind being a
really eficaciOus preventive Of sea-
sickness. f
1t is very simple; two Of its conpo-
nents are in every kitchen, and the
rest in every chemists shop. I have
successfully tested it myself on two
occasions recently, when crossing the
channel in very stormy weather.
AS an instance of the cleverness Of
lunatics, it may interest you to know
that q very valuable improvement CON
nected with machinery, and now in
daily use every where was invented by
the inmate of an asylum well known to
every one by name. AS he is now
quite cured and is a somewhat prom
inent man, I won't mention any de-
tails; but his invention, designed and
modelled as a diversion while absolute
ly insane, has since brought him in
thousands Of pounds. Ia

was once assistant physician invented
a flying machine, and had a unique
method of suspending it in mid-air.
The atmospheres pressure being fif-
teen pounds to the square inch,' he
said, have simply to exhaust all the
air from above my airship by an enOr-
nous air pump fixed over the whole
deck, and the air pressure underneath
will hold the ship up I told him he
would need another air pump on the
top of the first one to exhaust the air
that would be pressing that pump
down, and another above that, and SO
on, ad lib, but he declared he once
made a model which had worked
splendidly. He said it flew about in
the room like a bird Unfortunately,

the top and it few out And SO I lost
