Returns so far received are from conn |
try places and the cities will probably
alter the figures somewhat. The fusion
in this state means confusion to outsiders
in understanding the returns. The fusion
stnte vote can be told by the vote on gov
crnor. The fusion national ticket has the
vote of Cleveland and Butler added to-

fusionists all vote for twelve, but for
thirteenth place the greenbackers vote for
one man and the democrats for another.
This gives one republican elector under
almost any circumstances. The fusion
vote will be divided proportlonately be-
tween Cleveland and Butler. Fifty pre-
cincts show Begole for governor on the
fusion ticket running behind the ticket
