pute being how large majority be will
receive The republican leaders, who are
in position to know, eOncede his election
by from 80 to 100 majority. J. 5. Day, the
nominee jointly with Cascade county for
the legislative assembly, is considered the
strongest man on either county ticket, and
will run far ahead of his associates. He is
beyond doubt the most popular man In
Dawson county to-day, es the committee

cratic county ticket is the strongest that
has ever been submitted to the voters Of
Dawson county, and all indications at the
present writing, are, from careful inves-
tigstion Of the figures held by both party
leaders, in favor Of the democrats. Hon

vass Of the entire county and is confident
that the entire state and county democratic
ticket from top 70 bottom will be elected.
