city as revised and announced semi oil
cially today, enable one by simple arith-
metcal calculation, to determine within a
few hundred the number of Mugwumps in
this town. Clcveland's plurality was ~,
2l3; Hills was GS, 353; Jones's was ~, 200.
The Mugwumps supported Cleveland and
Jones; they opposed Hill. Jones was the
Democratic candidate Tor Lieutonant-Goy.
ernor and his name was on the same
ticket with Gov. Hills, the two names
making up the State ticket, The various
Mugwump newspapers and the vast meet
ings that opposed Hill urged upon the
Mugwumps the necessity OF voting against
Hill and at the same time Of voting for the
other man on the same ticket, that they
might emphasize in this way the immense
number OF voters who were opposed TO
Hill On the other hand, the liquor inter
csts OF this town went for both Hill and
Jones' excepting two or three districts,
where the tickets were given out with
Coogan's name on them by Republican
leaders, who had sold out TO Hill. Thus,
in one district, Cleveland ran little ahead

little over 1000, plus the number OF Mug

who did not vote for Hill. The difference
between Hills plurality aud Joncs's plu.
rality is q little less than 5000 votes, or,
more exactly, I,g37. Making allowance
