earned ducats for their crop OF tobacco.
We are safe in saying that ut least $50, 900

MILWAUKEE, April l.-Cole, Republican,
is undoubtedly reelected Judge Of the su-
preme Court by more than 5000 majority.
The reports from the interior towns show
great Republican gains over last year, and
the whole vote ofthe towns will probably
give the Republicans greater majority
than thoy have had for years. In Mill
waukee, the Republicans will control the
Council for the first time.
The election passed of very quietly.
There was a light vote polled. The Re-
publicans elect ten out OF fifteen Alder
men, giving them large majority In the
Council. They elect seven out ot thirteen
Supervisors. The County Board will pro
badly DO Democratic by small majority
