the largest majority in its history. A"-
corGing to the latest returns tonight

probably in the neighbOrhood Of $4,000,
Hon. Thomas B. Reed is reelected to
the house by over 10000 plurality. The
returns show a majority of about $4,000
for Mr.. Dingley for congressman from
the Second district; over 10000 for Mi.
Millken in the Third district and prac-
tically the same for Mr.. Boutelle in
the Fourth district.
In the state Legislature the democrats
will apparently have less than half Il
dozen of the representatives in the
house and not one in the senate. AS
anticipated the republicans polled {,
tremendous vote, and secure! many
democratic ballots; on the other hand
many disaffected democrats remained
at home and only few voted for the
nominee of the gold standard wing.
The populist and the prohibition votes
have been received from only few
towns, but it is evident that neither
party polled as large vote as two
years ago.
