ty for it of I3l. This will be greatly over
balanced by the vote of Detroit. The tenn
perance men are hopeful.
Ihe Detroit complete returns give for the
constitution 2,453, against 1882, only one
ward giving a majority against it; for prohi-
oltion, i,o34 against SIS only; for annual
sessions 1855; against 6,672.
AT TINS honr 1890, returns from seventy
towns, including Detroit, show majority Of
1856 against the constitution. The vote on
prohibition, outside OF Detroit, is about equal
it is thought. Returns from the rural dis.
triets will overcome the five thousand major
ity given against the measure in Detroit.
Observation-Disclosures from 100 towns give
1868 against the constitution. The vote
on prohibition will be very close, aud it is
impossible to tell tonight what the result
will be- The municipal elections through
out the state show no especial change from
last year.
