publicans are gaining on last years
majority. At l o'clock the republi-
cans were $50 ahead in five wards
The other two wards were not
heard from. s p .--
The large crowds around the head
quarters of both parties in the early
part of the evening are beginning to
disperse. The vote has been very
close, but the indications now are
that the back towns will offset the
republican loss in the cities.
At the republican headquar-
ters Davis election is claimed
as are the house and senate.
A republican defeat on the represen-
tative tickets in the fourth and fifth
districts is conceded. So far 110
towns have been heard from and
these give a net loss of about 200
over last year. At fusion head
quarters Plaisted S election is claimed
by 200 majority, as are those of the
congressman.
