ave thought when Dodge's majority in this
county was ascertained to be 266, that Ra-
cine must be the banner county of the Ter
ritory, but we made wide miscalculation.
Milwaukee and Washington have given
Dodge a majority of 600 votes, and Judging
from these indications we should not be sur
prised if Iowa run up majority of some 300.
he highest calculation before election gave
odge majority of600 in Racine, Milwau-
pc, and Iowa. He has already over 500 in

be elected. And it has been the case that a
ticket otherwise unexceptonable, has been
lost by having an obiectionable name on it.
