Burleigh and the four Republican Congressmen, including Speaker Reed, are elected by majorities larger than were expected. Mr. Reed s majority w.ill be almost double that of 1888, and the vote cast all over the State was much larger than the Republicans had even hoped for. In this city four Republican legislators and one Democrat are elected—the latter on account of local dissatisfaction. There is great enthusiasm in the city among th<3 Republicans over the result of Reed’s election, and a big meeting was held in City Hall, with an address by Reed, under the auspices of the Young Men's Republican club. Chairman Manlev of the Republican State committee sent at midnight trtie foilowing dispatch to President Harrison: ‘•Maine gives the largest Republican majority thrown in an off year since 1886 and a larger majority than given in a presidential contest since 1868, with the single exception of 1884 and 1888. Gov. Burleigh is re-elected by a majority exceeding 15.000. Speaker Reed is re-elected by the largest majority he ever received, excee ding 4,500. Representatives Dingley, Boutelle, and Miliken are elected by majorities ranging from 3,009 to 5,000. The Pine Tree State indorses your administration and remains firm in its advocacy of protection to American industries and American labor.” Two hundred and ton give Burleigh 40,385; Thompson. 27,427;, Clark, 561; scattering, 958.

The Prohibition vote comes united with the scattering or omitted, so it Is classed us Scattering and may be considerably larger. The members of Congress are all re-elected by largo majorities, Mr. Reed’s being doubled. The county officers are mostly Republicans. The Senators are probably all Republican, as in the last Legislature, and the Representatives must stand fully as strongly Republican—name)?, 125 Republicans to 26 Democrats.
