Well, republican estimates in this county
did not not pan out any better than did DEM

large one.
The democratic gain In Lafayette county
this year oyer the vote of 1886, is more than

the presidential votes in 1888. the democrats
gained 52l and the epublicans only gained
4O7. Old Lafayette Is redeeming itself. A
pull or two more like that and the claim of
carrying the county by republicans will drap.
