Maine for the past few years, the work /-tyn from Saturday night to Monday has all important.

Geo W. LADD.

The following shows uie specific estimates on the general results by prominent men of both parties, and shows the confidence of both, ps well an great variance.

Senator Blaine says: "We will probably have 8,000 majority, carry the Legislature and make a clcan sweep of Con gressmen, reclaiming the one we lost in 1878."

Senator Hamilton-—"Our majority will be not less 5,000. and I think it will be several thousand more."

Governor Davis—"Mp re-election is beyond sll doubt, and the majoritv will be larger than believed possible a few weeks ago."

General Plaisted, Fusion candidate for Govcnor, saas: lean not fail to carry Stater that much is sure. As to majority, I can not say."'

The Chairman of the Democratic State Committee says: "Plaisted will certainly lie elected, and we will hold our Congressional Districts, and possibly gain another."

Congressman Frye thinks the State will be Republican bv 7,000—First District 1,500, Second District 2,500, Third 2,000, Fourth 1,000, Fifth 500.

The Bangor Commercial (Dem.) believes Latld's election certain. Ladd and Boutelle each claim the victory by 1,000 majority, but the former says that the Republicans mav earry the State by So small a majority as to really be a defeat. Hln the history of the State there has never been such a hot campaign or more excitement. Every one is talking of the situation.

The Fusionists seem to be keeping up their tourage by talking, and the Republicans are very well assured of success for their candidates for Governor and the Legislature. The great fight is in the Congressional districts.

From Portland.

WIGWAM.

National Meeting Last Saturday Night.

O O I O

After marching about the streets with torches, last Saturday night, the National Greenback escort took possession of the Wigwam By a series of shouts and sim ilar noises, they were able 'to draw a small crowd which did not. occupy more than a fourth of the room afforded by the wigwam.

Mr. Cooper was introduced by Chairman Harry Brown, and made a short speech in which he made mention of the plank in their platform which allowed universal suffrage, thus gaining the attention of the flattered ladies. ITe then branched off on to the financial question, and pounded and picked at that from the standpoint of his party view, for about half an hour. At the conclusion of his speech he laid down the following propositions 1. Legislation for the people. 2. Taxing the bondholders. 8. 'Equalizing the pay of the soldiers of the war. giving the difference between the depreciated greenback dollar and the gold dollar.

Judge Tipton, National candidate for Supreme Judge, followed with a weak speech which had not the power to hold the attention of the audience, until one by one the crowd had dispersed, and the Judge taking the hint concluded his remarks, which closed the meeting of the* evening.

The Acrriitcd Morirl

The executive committee of Morton monumental a-ssociaiion have adopted the design of Franklin Simmons, of Rome, and the accepted model is now on exhibi tion in the post office building. The base and pedestal of tin* monument, which are to be of granite.will stand sixteen feet, on the top of which will be a statue of Morton in bronze seven feet in height. The model represents Morion in the attitude of speaking, the right hand extended forward slightlv, while in I he left is clasped a scroll. In front and below is seated a female figure representing the State, holding in one hand the National colors, and in the other a shield with the inscription, "Indianaand the Union. ItfHl." This female appendage, at, the suggestion of the committee, will not be retained. On the front side of the pedestal is inscribed "Oliver P. Morton:"on the reverse side, "erected by the people of Indiana." Wreaths of Laura 1 and a group of cynhleins comprise the remaining decorations.

The features of Morton are pronounced excellent by competent judges. Mr. Sim mons has ijlso sent the committee another model 2? inches in size, ihe arrival of which is daily expected.

Mr. S. is an American sculptor, has lone some clever work in thisCountry, and ranks ihigh in his profession. The proposed monument will cost about $20.000. and the committee will shortly advertise for proposals to furnish the granite base.
