ed bv handsome msjorities. Gov. Hubbard's

the total number of vOtfs cast in 116 pre-
cincts in 1881, whe, Hubbard received
9Os7 and Johnson 800, to this the in
creased vote of Tuesday. and the inference
g Chat the total vote will be not far short of
$50, 600 instead OF 1902 900, as two years ago.
or ,vided later re!urns yield correspond
ing increase in the total vote. By the ra-
ito between Hubbard and Bierman in these

gone Democratic, excepting that Carr, Re-
