$4,000 plurality and will be much disappoint,
ed at anything less and that the bost head
for figures on the Regular Republican side
thinksBeaver may have at best plurality of
5000, but base that calculation on the assump
ton that Stewart will poll less than $4,000
votes. These estimates are very encouraging
to those who are warmly supporting General
Beaver. but what is the use of ooncealpg
facts or trying to whistle Jig when the
hearse is in sight?
