Portland, Me-, Nov. "A compar-
atively light vote was poIled in Main.
yesterday. Up to midnight returns
had been received from about $40
cities, towns and plantations in the
state showing a republican plurality
of 1S,4Sl, as against 3l.9SS for the
same towns in 1896. The returns to
that hour indicated republican loss
of II per cent. and democratic gain
of 21 per cent, as compared with 1896.
Figuring on this basis the republican
plurality in the state would be about
27,300.
Detroit, Mich, Nov. 7.-President

doubt. Conservative estimates place
his majority at $4,000. His ma jority in

says that if McK.nley's ratio of ma
jority in the ll0 districts heard from
is maintained throughout the state his
majority will be 10000. The republic
an state ticket has also been elected
but by smaller majority. At ten
o'clock last night it was thought that
the republicans have elected all their
congressional nominees.
