lican county officers were elected, as also
the entire delegation to the Legislature.
Portland, Sept. 10.—The Democrats
oarry Lincoln county by about 175 ma»

two out of six representatives. The Re

Returns from eighteen towns in York
connty, including Biddeford and Saoo,
show a Democratic gain over last fall of
395; the remaining eight towns will not
very materially ohango the resalt. The
Republican oounty ticket is probably
elected by from 200 to 300 majority,
though Cromwell, Democrat, for Senator,
may bo eleetted by a small majority.
The Democrats gain three Represents*
tives in the county and psoibly four. The
Republicans eleot their entire oounty

ranging from 800 to 1,200, and will
probably eleot.eight Representatives, and
Rossiegn county, except three towns,
gives Connor 2,446, Williams 1,599,
Munson 953. Republicans elect all Sen

plurality, and eight Republicans to one
Greenbacker.
All Republican candidates for Repre
sentatives are elected in Lewiston and
Auburn. This county is the headquarters
of tho Greenback party, which has polled
a large vote, a majority of which comes
from the Democrats.
In Somerset county but few towns have
been heard from. The probability is that
the Republican ticket is eleoted by a fair
majority. There were four regular and
mixed tickets.
The entire Republican tioket in Aroo

ELECTION—VERY DULL AND UNINTERESTING
SPECULATIONS.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Portland, Me., September 9.—The
State election occurs to-morrow. Very
little work has been done and no can
vasses made. The total vote will proba
bly not exceed 110,000 and the greenback
ticket will do better than previously, per
haps reaching 2,000 or 3,000. With this
inoroased opposition, being an off year,
the Republicans cannot expect to do much
better than two years ago, when their ma
jority ran down to less than 4,000. The
disagreements over the State Oonvention
seem to amount to little, and the chance
of Democrats over their candidates ap
pears somewhat more serious, particularly
in the Penobscot region. The Greenback-
ers are strongest in Androscoggin and
Somerset counties, and may offset the
oounty tickets. Last year the Democrats
had but two counties, Knox and Lincoln,
but in 1875 they had five. Cumberland
and York counties are very close. Aros
-took is likely to go Democratic. Wash
ington oounty is close, bat Talbot, last
year’s Democratic nominee, who was
thrown over at this year’s Convention re
sides there. The Republican legislative
majority will be rednoed from last but
probably not so low as two years ago.
THE RETURNS.
Portland, Me., Sept. 10.—At 1 o’clock
the city stood Conner, (Rep.) for Govern
or 1,026; Williams, (Dem.) 993; Munson,
(Greenback) 29; Marcellas Emory 1.
At 2 o’clock Portland stood Conner,
(Rep.) 1,496; Williams, (Dem.) 1,410;
MunBon 34. The Republican representa
tive ticket was 86 ahead. Last year Port
land gave the Republicans 3,492, Demo-'
crats 2,895. This small vote at this honr
indicates a very reduced vote so that
probably the State aggregate vote may
fall as low as 90,000.

RUSSIANS HURRYING REINFORCEMENTS.
London, September 10—A special from
Vienna to the Times says tho Russians
who seem to have thought little of any
danger which might threaten them from
Rustchuk and Rasgrad are, it appears, be
ginning to take a different view. Wo
have it from Bucharest all reinforcements

of Witna Army Corps have taken that di
rection.

are under no definite plan of campaign,
none having been decidod upon.

ARMISTICE TO BURY DEAD.
London, Sept. 10.—The Daily News'
correspondent with the army of Czaro<
witch, describing the armistioe to bury
the dead, says the Russians and Turks fra
ternized heartily whenever they met dar
ing the armistioe. They shook handB,
exchanged bread, bartered trinkets for
tobacco, and for the first time in the war
came together like oivilized people.
THE OZAROWITOH’b ARMY FORCED BACK TO
BIELA.
Iu the ovening after the termination of
the armistioe, the Russians evaonated
Abova,^fiuding it useless to attempt to
bold out longer with nine battalions
against sixty. Late this afternoon the
whole division reached Baintzha, where
they bivouacked, together with a large
part of the 35th division, retreating from
Gazova and Polamarka.
The correspondent, Saturday noon
says: We broke up camp at Baintzha at
suurise this morning, and marchod direct
to Biela, in hopes of being able to reach
Guirgevo by Biela, the ltuatchuk road and
Pyrgos foiry. I rode among the lino of
four posts down the valley of the Baint
zha Lorn to Buzovatza. I found the town
deserted, except by a few Cossacks, who
reported that the Turks had taken the
Damoglia part of the road, and occupied
Pyrgos, breaking up the ferry ogmmuni-
cations. Turning back to Biela to make
tbo trip by way of Simnitza, I found
confirmation of this unwelcome tidings
and also tho fact that the Czarowitob,
who had been at Kajawivatza on
the Bavnltzka Lorn, whither
ho had retired from Kapnoe,
when it became impossible to bold
Palonearka and GAmbrova. He was ex -
pected at Beila this afternoon (Saturday.)
Tho town iu full of troops who are bivou
ackd about in tbe immediate neighbor
hood. Supply trains are crossing the
bridge. Some even are returning as far
as Pavloe. The army of tho Czaowitoh
will hold the line of the Yautra near
Beila. As far as I cau learn the llth
corps still holds its position east of
Tirnova. The 12 corps have retired across
tbo Beila and linstchuk road, holding
Torstenik and Metohka. The camp at
Terstenik has been fortified within tho
past few days, and is situated on a hill
overlooking the Danube. [Tbe above

AMBASSADORS AND THE POBTE.

Constantinople, Sept. 10.—The Ger
man and French ambassadors have pre
sented remonstrances to tbo Porto against
tbe releaso of persons condemned to five
years’ penal servitude for tho murder of
the Gorman und French consols at Salon-
ica, in May of last year. The French
note demands that the sentence be car
ried out; tho German note declares that
the continuance of the present aspect of
this affair might force Germany to have
recourse to other measures. The Porte
has sent a note to the Khedive respecting
the article of tho slave trade convention
with Euglaud, giving tho lattor the right
of search. The Porte contests the Khe
dive’s authority to grant such privilege to
a foreign power, particularly in Ottoman

TIIEANGLU-AMDRIGAN FISHERY
COHRIINION.
Halifax, September 10.—Tho fishery
commission, it is understood, gave a
decision on Friday, previous to adjourn
ing, which completely destroys tho idea
that tho Washington treaty put an
end to all disputes relatives to tho North
American fisheries. If the report is cor
rect, audit seems to bo well founded,
counsel acting for tho United States ask
ed the Commissioners to rule that tbe
Commission do not consider it within
their province to award compensation, or
take into consideration the advautngos
to American fishermen of trans-shipping
cargoes or baying bait, ice and supplies.
Two days were spent in argument of this
question, nearly all the connRol of both
sides taking part. Tbe counsel for Groat
Britian, took strong ground agaiust the
proposition. A largo portion of tho Brit
ish case was devoted to posist*
iug at the advantage point to Ameri
can fishermen of being
position to purohaso bait and supplies, a
claim for a large compensation being
founded thereon. The American counsel
contended that the Washington treaty
gave no such privileges to their fisher
men, and that the prosont commissioners
should not take them into consideration.
The idea of tbe Americans seems to be
that a large number of our people being
interested in the trade with American
fishermen will prevent the Dominion Gov-
ermeut from interfering with tbo latter,
if they can under tho present laws, or in -
trodnoing new legislation for suoh a pur
pose.
The Commission gave an unanimous
decision that they wore incompetent to
award compensation for tho transporta
tion of cargoes in British waters, or for
the purchase of ice, bait and supplies.
FFFEOT OF TIIE DECISION.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Toronto, September 10.—The decision
of the Fishery Commission thut in fixing
tbe compensation to be paid by the United
(States for the privileges accorded by the
Washington treaty, it is not able to take
into consideration the privileges of obn
taining bait, ice and provisions and of
trans-shipping fish, these not being spe
cifically granted by tho treaty, gives rise
to muoh comment.
The Globe's Halifax special says tbe de
cision narrows tbe question before tbe
Commission, and no doubt will largely
diminish the prospeot of obtaining a just
compensation for the privileges uow en
joyed by Americans. In one respect,
however, tho decision is favorable
Canada. It establishes the
faofc that Americans only possess
the right to catch fish within the three-
mile limit. Tbo other privileges they are
receiving through the favor of tho Cana
dian people, aud tho Canadian Parliament
may, by an act at its next session, debar
American vessels from purchasing bait,
ice, or provisions, and from trans-shipping
fish at Canadian ports, if, indeed, the ex
isting laws do not already debar them.
Stripped of these privileges tho right of
Americans would bo rodnood to Hmall di
mensions. Thoir uow,construction of the
treaty plaooH it in tho power of Canada to
practically defeat tho treaty^ apparent
intoution for tho remainder of the period,
iH without tho privilege mentioned the
right to catch fish is of little value.

DENIES HIS “CONVERSION” IN THE
FLORIDA CASE.
[Judge Bradley to the Newark (N. J.) Adver
tiser.]
I perceive that the New York Sun has
reiterated its charge that, after preparing
a written opinion in favor of the Tilden
electors in the Florida case submitted to
the Electoral Commission, I changed my
views during the night preceding tbe
vote in consequence of a pressure brought
to bear upon mo by Republican politicians
aud Pacific Railrod men, whose carriages,
it is said, surrounded my house daring
the eveniug. This I believe is the impor
tant poiut of the charge. Whether I
wrote oue opinion or twenty in my pri
vate examination of the subject is of little
consequence, and no concern to anybody,
if the opinion I finally gave was the fair
result of ray deliberations, without influ
ence from outside parties. The above slan
der was published some time since, but l
never saw it until recently, and deemed
it too absurd to need refutation, but as
it is categorically repeated, perhaps I
ought to notice it. The same story about
the carriages of leading Republicans aud
others congregating at my house circula
ted in Washington at oue tirue and came to
tho ears of my family,only to raise a smile
of ooutompt. The vfhole thing is a false
hood, not a single visitor called at my
house that evening, and during the whole
sitting of the oommission I had no pri
vate discussion whatever of the subject at
issue with any person interested on the
Republican side, and but very few words
with any person. Indeed, I sedulously
sought to avoid all discussion outside tbe
commission itself. The allegation that I
read an opinion to Judges Clifford and
Field is entirely untrue. I read no opin
ion to either of them, and have no recol
lection of expressing any. If I did, it
couhl only have been suggestively, or iu a
hypothetical manner, and not intended ss
a committal eof my final | judgment or
action. The question was one of great
importance, aud to me of much difficulty
and embarrassment. I earnestly endeav
ored to oome to the right decision, free
from all political or other extraneous con
siderations. In my private examination
of the principal question—about going
behind tbe returns—I wrote and rewrote
the arguments and considerations on both
sides, as they occurred to me, sometimes
being inclined to one view of the subject
and soiuotimos to tbe other; but finally I
throw aside these lucubrations, and, ns
tho Advertiser has rightly stated, wrote
out tho short opinion which I read iu the
Florida ease during the sitting of the
commission.
The opinion expresses the honest con-
elusion to which I have arrived,and which
aftor full consideration of the whole sub
ject seemed to me the only satisfactory
solution of tbo question. And I may add
that the more 1 have reflected on it since
tho more satisfied have I become that it
was right. At all ovents, it was the result
of rny.own reflections and consideration,
without any suggestion from any quarter,
except tho arguments adduced by the
counsel in the publio discussion, and by
tbo members of the commission in private
consultations. As for the insinuation
contained in a recent article published in
a prominent periodical by a noted poli
tician, implying that the case was decided
in cousequence of a political conspiracy,
I cau only say—and from the peculiar
position 1 occupied on the oomruiBHion I
am nblo positively to say—that it is ut
terly devoid of truth, at least so far as
tho action of the oommission itself was
concerned. In that article the writer
ooupleH my name with the names of those
whom ho supposes obnoxious to publio
odium. The doceueies of public expres
sion, if nothing more, might well have
deterred so able a writer from making
porsoual imputations which he did not
know to bo woll founded.

ANDERNON’N HE WARD.
THE FRAUDULENT PRESIDENT GIVES AN OF
FICE TO A MAN INDICTED FOR COUNTING
IITM IN.
oni tho Raltlmoro 8ua.]
It bos just transpired that the notorious
Audorsou, of the Louisiana Returning
Hoard, who left here a few days ago, car
ried back with him to New Orleans a
commission aH Special Deputy Collector
of that port, issued to bim at tbe iustuace
of tho President. It cannot bo contended
that tbo appointment of a person to an
important aud responsible position who is
under criminal indiotment is an example
of civil service reform. Anderson
boasted also that tho President
would have made him Collector if
he had desired it. The object of his ap**
pointmont as Speoial Deputy Collector is
to give him the opportunity to provide
places in tho New Orleans Custom-house
for the men who manufactured the fraud
ulent affidavits on which the Vernon
pariph aud other returns were thrown out.
It is hoped and believed by those who are
interested, teat the appointment of these
men will induce them to perjure them
selves for tho benefit of Wells aud Ander
son. As they have alroady committed the
blackest kind of perjury, it cau very prop
erly ho anticipated that they will not hes
itate to do it again if they aro taken care
of. This will all be for the benefit of
Wells and Anderson, but, as argued, it is
not civil service reform.
“Well, my son, you have got into

to his thickest chip tho other night. “Let

Chip.—“All right. Little, less, least;
big, bigger, beast; mow, moro, most—.”
Proud Sire.—“Hold on, sire, that’s not
right; you—”
Chip.—,,Toe, tore, toast; snow, snore,
snort; go, gore, gout; row, roar, rout;—”
Proud Sire.—“Stop, I say; those adjec
tives—”
Chip.—Drink, drank, druDk; chink,
c'uauk, chunk; wink, wank, wunk: thiDk,
thank, thunk—”
Proud Sire.—“You infernal little fool.
What in thunder—”
Chip.—“Good, better, host; wood wet
ter, wost; bad, wusser, wust; bile, biler,
bust; sew, sewer, soup; pew, poor, pup.o-
u-c h! oh, gemiuently dad. Oh*o-o.

Her face was very pale, as was that of
her sister, as they both stood there look
iug at each other with that awe struck
expression which a death leaves upon the
faces of the living. ‘Dead!’ she repeated
in a falteriug voice. ‘It doesn't seem
possible. It is so sudden, so unexpected,
so dreadful that I can scarcely realize it,
What are you going to wear?’ ”
