GOOD DAY FORR REPUBLICANS, es the Largest Republiean Major- Ity in the State's History, Me., Sept. 10.—It has been a g00d day for republicans, and a correspond- ingly bad one for democrats, but the result was not altogether unforeseen. To rain and general apathy is due the light vote, and though the democrats admit defeat, they do not show entire “discouragement. The pro- hibitionists and populists are not largely in evidence so far as returns indicate. A heavy rain put a quietus upon the telegraph and telephone wires early in the evening, but returns have been received from over 100 cities and towns, and these indicate that the state has re-elected Governor Cleaver (rep.) over Charles E. Johnson (dem.) by a majority which will exceed 47,000, the largest in the history of the party. The republicans have carried every county in the state, and at 11 o'clock it 15 estimated that the legislature will have a working republican majority of 125, which ensures the re-election of Senator William P. Frye. Thoms¥ B. Reed has been re-elected to congress by a plurality esti mated at 10,000. Nelson Dingley, Seth H Milligan and H. Boutelle are also re-elected to congress by majorities ranging from 6,000 to 9000. The total yote will probably not exceed 110,000, Hon. J. H. Manley, chairman of the repub- lican state commitiee, &t,11:30 sent a mes- sage to Henry D. Cleves at Portland, in which he claimed tha,stale had gone republi- can by a majority sgeceeding 37,000, as far as the election for govermor was concerned, the largest ever given.
