thirds to three-fourths of the
| Legislature, thus securing us the Senate,
and county offices in probably fourteen
! of the sixteen counties of the State.
The Republican plurality in this city is
the largest ever known, being more than
seven hundred out of total vote of
| 1900. The total vote of the State will
be above 137, 900, which is extraordinar-

three Democrats. against q complete
Republican Senate in 1884. The Demo
