cal error In the form OF the Republican

believed to be Republican throughout
Wilson will probably get majority In this
county of 1000 and Ferry about the came

q word has been heard from there.

as now known Is ahead.
LEGISLATURE REPUBLICAN by 20 MAJORITY.
SEATTLE, W. T., Oct. 2.-Returns from
over the state indicate that II Ia surely Re
publican by about the same majority az las
year when Allen carried the state for dele
gate to Congress by 1000 majority. Tn
legislature ia certainly Republican prob
ably by 20. The result In King and Kittita
counties is yet In doubt and II they 20 Re
publican the majority for the party In thu
legislature will be 50.
The Republicans have gained In ever
county except these two. The Democrat
are claiming to have carried Klug, havinl
made heavy gains In Seattle, but the lie
publicans are confident that their ticke
will pull through all right. The ticket 1
long and the count Ia slow and the result
could not be definitely ascertained In doubt
full counties until to-day.
