will probably be as high as 100000.
This probable plurality is about $500
smaller than that by which the Re-
publican ticket was successful in
Maine four years ago.
The Democrats are claiming that
the vote indicates an increase in party
strength in the state. On the other
hand the Republican leaders had de-
clared that they expected only from
$4,000 to 10000 plurality. All the pres
ent congressman, who are Republic
ans, were reelected by pluralties
ranging from 5000 to 5000.
Incomplete returns indicate that the
Democrats will have several state sen
ators whereas they now have only one
and that they will make a slight gain
over their present twenty members of
the state house of representatives
Returns for governor from 400 cities,
towns and plantations out of total of
522 were tabulated by the middle OF

had 75,456, and Davis, Democrat, 49,

plurality Of 26,610.

The resumption OF business in the Lon
don stock market after three days holi-
day had little effect in reyiving the infiu-

taking. Foreign markets themselves
seemed little affected by political or mill
