The Democrats Are Confident and the
Republicans Hopeful.

DUBUQUE Nov. 6.-The Herald says
that political returns from half the
counties in Iowa show 1880 majority
for Boies. other counties Will reduce
this somewhat so that probably his
majority will run from 5000 to 5000.
Every county heard from shows demo-
cratic gain. A few additional returns
received this forenoon show a heavier
gain than had been estimated. No one
here, either democrat or republican, has
any doubt of Boies election. Chairman
Dunn of the democratic state committee
sent n dispatch here from headquarters
at Des Moines, dated 10 o'clock this
morning, stating that the committee is
certain that Boies is elected by safe
plurality.

from every county to settle the question

Marshal Macarthur argues that one
reason why the police records should
