The bolt in this county resulted in the cleo
tion of the democratic ticket by a majority of
ranging from l52 to l69. The county gives
the State ticket: Pingree, 1888; Redington
1882 Soule, 1928; showing republican gain
of 254 over all as compared with 1880.

there should be falling off in the 70 towns

back, Independent and scattering $50. Pin
grees majority over Redington 20,S79; Pin

ing towns will increase Pingree's majority
over all to about 22,50O. The same towns
four years ago gave the republicans 1850
and the democrats 20,227. The republican

majority this year equals the average.
