of this number the Democrats will get
$500. Tower will give 1000 majority to
the Republican ticket, the Democrats
making standoff with their Republi-
can brethren in Duluth. This is the
actual outlook to-day, and it will take
the liveliest hustling ever INDUCED in
by any party managers to change these
figures materially. Republicans realize
this, and all day there has been such
vigorous gathering in of all the old
ward strikers as was never before wit
messed. The campaign, which all along
has been apparently tame and uninter-
esting,is closing with Whirl and furore
and it is anyb0dy's victory yet. Had
the election been held to-day, it would
have resulted in Democratic success in
at least this Old-time Republican strong
hold. This may sound strange as COM
ing from locality from which so little
was expected, but no one who witnessed
the wildly enthusiastic demonstration
last night can reasonably doubt its ac-
curacy. Mr.. Comstock, the railroad can
didate, is here tonight trying to bolster
up the warning forces, but his cause is
desperate. He is beaten in the western
relied upon clear 1900 majority from
this county to help him out. If he gets
1900 he may consider himself in luck.
He does not dare go to the Vermilion
range and advocate the modification of
tariff rates he has clamored for among
farmers. and so he will leave
that region to the tender mercies
of the great corporation which
knows him so we'll. Nor did he
dare come to Duluth until the very clos
ing hours of the campaign, and in this
he showed himself the shrewd politi-
clan. MIR. Merriam has not been here
at all, though his check book has, as has
been plentifully evidenced to-day. st:
Louis county has been considered solid
by Republicans, and the delus ion was
dispelled by the Democrats only last
night. The latter have made still but
determined hunt, and the result will be
shown as predicted above on Tuesday
next.
POLITICAL. POINTS.
Senator Davis was advertised to
speak here to night, but failed to put in
an appearance. The announcement was
made that he would not speak after j.
N. Castle, of Saltwater, had raked his
friendship for the ''pOor SOLDIER Sc
looked better had the announcement
been made little earlier.
q. &. Hartley wentdown to the Twin
Cities to size up the political situation,
and Immediately on his return gave it
out cold that he didn't have a dollar bet
Oh the result.
Charley d'Autremont returned from
dis canvass of the state Friday after
noon. Mr.. d Autremont would make an
admirable attorney general.
G Republicans watched the grand Dem
bcratic parade with Open-mOuthed Won.
der Friday evening.
:. The hysterical alluSiOn made by Du-
luth's daily press to the grand Demo-
cratic demonstration last night has fur
,nlShed no small amount OF amusement
to day. The demonstration is conceded
by everybody to have been the greatest
ever held in Duluth-barring none.
IN REALTY CIRCLES.
j, Despite the all-absorbing interest in
politics, the past week has marked an
increased activity in Duluth realty. at
Duluth Land company, j. G. IL r. NJ.
Hunter and Richardson, Day Il Co.
have made sales aggregating $500, 1000.

West First street for $40, 900 spot cash,

feet brought $50, 900 in cash. East end
property, while probably not so active,
