Portland, Sept. 14--When it became sure that the state had made big re- publican gains the Lincoln club pro- ,l I the streets firing rockets and roman candles. They proceeded to the resi- dence of Hon. T. B. Reed and with cheers called him out. MT. Reed ap- peared and made a brief speech. He said:
 Fellow citizens-I told you some time ago that Maine would beat her record and she has done so and the first district has beaten it's record. The last time I spoke here l invited you to do this and now you have done it. l do not think you did this because I told you for for l have knowledge that you have ideas of your own and are amply | able to carry them out. By this elec- ton you have cleared up some trouble for the democracy. Their ticket has had two appendages so far, but this election will assist us in removing one of them. Sewall is sulking. Iaugh- ter) The star of Watson is rising but as neither of them is of the first magnitude we cannot tell just where they are until we have time to take other observations. (Great laughter.)
 "The result in Maine indicates to my mind that our people intend to dispose of this silver question in very de- cided fashion. We often hear that the west is not like the east, but I do not think there is much difference between the west and east on such occasions as this unless the men of the west are more demonstrative. I have never been in any place in the west that I have not found state of Maine men who, if they had stayed at home might have helped to make it as great as they made the vest The same argu- ments that influence us influence them and the example you have to-day given them will go a great way and do great good. Our results are so conspicuous that they will surprise the whole coun- try. We have surpassed our own best hopes. What more can I say? And the hopes of Maine for her country are always very high"
 After MT. Reeds speech the Lincolns marched and serenaded Governor Cleaves, Hon. George F. Wescott and Hon. c. F. Libbey at the Cumberland club. MT. Libbey made a brief speech, after which the procession marched down town and serenaded the Press office.
