THE GREENBACK TOTR

There is always e certain lapse OF
time after an election before We can
learn the vote Of the GreenbaclS party.
Our Observation-Disclosures charge
this to the jealously Of the old parties
or the Associated Press managers.
Bat the truth is, il is of no account in
getting at the general result and ii is
considerable expense to those getting
returns by telegraph to get the neces-
sary vote, aud the Greenback, Prohi-
bitiOn, Anti Masonic and other minor
votes are left for the slower but cheap.
er aud more accurate official reports
which puts the Greenback vote this
year at II 976. For the benefit of our
Greenback friends who still wish to
amuse themselves in their usual way,
we give the vote Of their party since
1878:
For Mason for Governor, lS7s.............. Sl,75s
For Sutton for Treasurer ls7Q............. 27,207
Por Weaver for President. lssO............ .O,6ss
For jackson for Treasurer, lssl............ 1875
\ little figuring will easily fix the
vote for next year on the present slid
ing scale. After the polls close they
need not worry about returns, but just
put down the vote at about 5000 and
90 to bed satisfied that their estimate
is not far Exchange.
