that their total vote in 1878 was &c.
1896, of which Moves received 23,22T---
a majority of 9.55S. The total vote
for this election is not in, many coun-
ties telegraphing only the majorities.
The total majority for Hayes, howcv-
er, in these seven counties, is lS.03S---
a gain of 8,4i5, or nearly double the
majorities Of 1873. This is more than
the predicted recovery of the $4,000
votes lost in the campaign Of 1874. II
will be of interest to observe the
change by counties. We give the Re-

the Chicago, Clinton & Dubuque, and

Of all these roads will be made at the
Dcs Moines term, and undoubtedly
decrces OF foreclosure will be entered
up against each. The suits under
which sales will be ordered were in
almost every case brought by foreign
bondholders. These roads will prob
