THE MAINE. ELECTION.
Complete Returns Show Republican
Plurality Of 81, 100 for
Governor.

Portland, Me-, Sept. 15.-A republican
plurality Of 27,130 is shown by COM
plete returns from the state election
of Monday. the unofficial tabulation of
which from the 522 cities. towns and
plantations was completed Wednesday.
The total vote for governor, as tabu-
lated, was: Cobb (rep.). 1890; Davis
(dem.), $3.50. While these figures
show a republican gain of 1890 votes
over 1900, they also indicate a demo-
cratic gain of 11.244, or a net gain for
their party Of 6,254. Congressional re-
turns, though still not complete, indi-
cate a gain for both parties practically
the same as that in the vote for gov
ernor. All four republican congress-
men are returned by pluralities rang
ing from 5000 to 1000. The legislature
which will elect United States sena-
tor, is safely republican.

sci was incapable of putting to sea
without needful repairs, she must dis
arm, and asking that needful repairs be
permitted after disarmament.
The disposition of the crew will be
arranged for later, although most Of
the members of it express the belief
that they will be allowed to return
home under parole.
