The vote is heavy beyond all prece-

in many we have only the majority. The
entire poll will hardly fall short of 1000.
8. 200 more than that of HARRISON and
Van Buren, in 1910. 1t was a life-and
death struggle, in which each party put
forth its every effort and drew out its
last man. Among the fruits Of this VIC
tory are 1. Two U. S. Senators,
one for four, and the other for six years

four months, leaving the state blu, half

sentiment of the Union cannot be over
estimated. The struggle has been for
great National objects, with the whole

majority by several hundred votes. But those who
understood his position rallied to his support, and
the result is as Ihave given above. large number
Of the Republican voters in this district will prefer
any man Hring to Van Buren,, because they regard
him az having been, in his political career epery

the fact that his Administration was the most cor
rupt and proagate which has cursed this coun.
try As far heard FROM the Federalists have carried
the day in this State. In 1910 this district gave for
Harrison and Tyler 1900 majority, and should John
