previously Nichols and the rest OF the
Democratic State tickeG were elected BY
from 30, QUO to $4,000 majority. The count
in the city 10 progressing now. Enough u
known, however, to show almost beyond
doubt that tue Young Mons Democratic
ticket has been generally successful The
preaident Of the Young Mems Democratic
Association publishes an appeal 70 the peo-
Fle OF the city, requesting merchants TO
send their clerks at once to the hsadquar-
terra OF the association to assist in securing
q fair count. The appeal says: The ring
10 broken. Bossism il at an end. Wehavo
polled the votes and good majority 10 ours.
They arc now trying to wear US out by de-
laying the count" Many regard this sp-
peal ~ an evidence Of weakness, while
others consider it y timely precautionary
action.
News from all parts Of the State shows
that heavy vote was polled and that only
q few votes were cast for the Republicans.
Nichols majority is probably more thar
$4,000 The count In this city Is very slow,
not being finished in any important ward,
but the returns continue to increase the
majority for the Young Mems ticket
