Then he rowcd across the lake and

Joynes.
Inc visit was not prolonged one;
In fact Officer Holiday was not in the
house more than ten minutes. but
when he returned to the spot where he
had left his boat he found 1t gone The
officer was angry, but when he was
told that several boys had taken 1t
away he was mad. Another beat was
borrowed, and the officer started In pur-

the boat was not there. He entered the
small canal which divides the Norfolk

could not be found. Then his craft en-

did have an idea that they had become

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1896-09-15

As was anticipated, the Republicans
polled a tremendous vote, and secured
many Democratic ballots. On the other
hand. many disaffected Democrats re-
rnained at home. and only few voted
= for the nominee of the gold standard.
Tho Populist and Prohibitionist votes
have been received from only few
towns. but II is evident neither party
poiled as large a vote as two years ago.
1t was expected that the senate would
be entirely Republican, and only five
Democratic representatives were con-
ceded in the house. The latest returns
show only that number elected.
The Republican state committee re-
celved the returns In Augusta and an
nounced the votes from hall. A large
crowd was In attendance until 10.30,
when most of those present went home,
satisfied that the Republican ticket was
successful by about $4,000.
The Democratic state committee made
headquarters at Hallowell, but closed
UP at O'Clock. and announced that no
more returns would be received.
The successful candidate for governor
IL Llewellyn Powers OF Houlton. The
nominees of the other parties were: Mel
win T.. Frank of Portland (Dem), Luther
G. Bateman of Auburn (Pop.), Ammi s.
1.add OF Calais (Pro.) and William III.
Clifford of Portland Gold DemocraD
The congressman elected are: Thomas
Il. Reed of Portland from the First dis
trict; Nelson Dingley of Lewiston, from
the Second district: Seth l.. Milliken of
Belfast, from the Third district, and
Charles a, Bou.elle OF Bangor from the
Fourth district, who have for years rep
resented Maine in the national house.
With anxious eyes the politicians
scanned the heavens when they arose
yesterday and prepared for the days
battle. The history OF Manic elections
would seem to prove that rain does not
keep the average farmer In this section
away from the polls. IL there is any issue
In which he takes an interest but, never
theless, the fear was entertained that
wet weather would tend 60 reduce the
Republican ma Jority, and the sulen
clouds which oversprcad the sky i'm the
morning were not regarded with favor.
They did not seem 10 threaten rain carly
IN the day. but the possibility that IL
might come later on led the heavy
forenoon vote in most sections. Until
o'clock the clouds hung overhead but
a did not rain. and then the sun burst
through and it cleared.
Everywhere at the polls tho organiza-
ton OF the Republicans was evident ir
the activity they displayed in getting
cut fun vote ut the earliest possible
hour. The Democrats who announced
that they were vOtirg Republican

were applauSad. ana made conspicuous
