HE MAINE ELECTION. The Bangor
Wing 4 Courier publishes the official re-
turns as filed at the office of the Secretary
OF State of the congressional vote in all
the districts complete except from a few
towns, for which the governor vote is
taken, showing that the aggregate vote
for the Republican congressman reaches
So, 500 against 81, 319 for the Democratic
candidates, giving the Republicans plu-
ralty in the state of 40, 491, of which Reed
has 10, $50; Dingley, 49, 1856; Milliken, 12,-
SC2 and Boutelle, l., 234. 1t appears
that Democratic representative was
elected in the Frenchvile, Aroostook
county, district, and that makes five
Democrats who will have seats in the next
house, not counting Major Dckey of Fort
Kent, who, though a Democrat himself,
was elected by the Republicans. These
five Democrats are Maxine P. Gagnon,
Frenchville; John NJ. kaler, Scarboro;
James A. Levensaler, Thomaston; Charles
f. Lane, st. George and Charles E. Ed
munds of Corinth. .... The vote polled in
Deer Isle was: Powers, Rep, 260; Frank,
Dem, 107; S. B. Thurlow, Rep. nominee
for Representative to Legislature, 2S3; d.
n. Fitield, Dem. nominee for Represen-
tative to Legislature, SS. Thurlow's ma
JOIlly 19o, anu lncIuulnS Isle au HauI ana
SWANS Island, pa. 1t is said that when
Major Dickey of Fort Kent comes back
to the Legislature this winter, he will be
likely to sit on the Republican side. For
the first time in many years the Major
had opposition. A Democrat named Lal-
iberte ran against him, and corralled the
straight Democratic vote to a large extent.
The Republicans on the other hand voted
for the Major, and elected him by $50
plurality. In years past the Major has
received practically unanimous elections.
