TIE Independents do not seem entirely

it bad for the Independent newspaper
which spells its independence with a

Colorado, Nevada and California were

popular majori;ies large, but in nearly

ahead Of the State and local tickets. The
final decision is sill pending in Snw @

here, claiming that Blaine was elected by

and several rosill barrels were set abhze.
This so inccnsed the Bourbons that thew
attempted to quench the Republican,

inevitable. But better counsel finally
prevailed, and aterhblo riot thereby was
averted. The two parties are about even.
