The Returns coming IN siowly--A Rcpubii-
can Plurality OF 10000 Indicated.
Portland, Me-, Sept. 10, The returns
from the small towns and plantations
in distant parts of the State are, as
usual, coming in very slowly and 1t is
not probable that all Of them will be
heard from before tomorrow.
The vote from the cities and towns
which poll more than two thirds Of the
entire vote OF the State indicate that
the Republican plurality will be be-
tween ls, 200 and so, 600, the largest In
the history of the State. In every
county in tho State the Republican
ticket was successful. Almost every
town showed Republican gain. The
Democratic vote III about 40 per cent
less than In 1892, one half OF which
has gone TO the Republican ticket.
The vote of the Populist and Pro.
hibitionists shows loss of about % per
cent.
The vote from 800 out OF 5l9 Cities
towns and plantations is 60, 92l for
Powers and 81, l43 for Frank. In 1894,
when Cleaves was elected By the unpre-
cedented majority Of 1000, these
towns gave the Republican ticket Sc, 400
and the Democratic "a, $50.
Anything more than a rough esti-
mate of the plurality based on the
figures OF last year, in the missing
towns, is impossible. In the First
Congressional district Reeds plurality
is TO-, 566; In the Second Dingley's
about IL, 600; In the Third Miiliken's
about 1000. There are more missing
towns in the Fourth district than in
any other, but from the figures at
hand it is estimated that Boutelle's
plurality will be almost Is. 000
In the Representative districts heard
from the election of five Democrats to
the House is shown. All OF the 81
Senators are Republican.
