ELECTION RESULTS.
Coroner Mcdowell Runs Behind
Boyer About 5000 Votes.
JOHNSTON RUNNING UP TO 10000.
Mr.. c. L. Magee Thinks Johnston'S Major.
ity is Rated Too High.
THE REPUBLICAN LOSSES ARE HEAVY

Unofficial but very accurate returns Of
Tuesdays election in Allegheny county are
taken from the sheets handed in with the
official returns, and may be said to be as
nearly correct as possible They show that,
with sixteen districts yet to hear from,
Rowand's vote was 5,S45 and Johnston S
%, 12S, majority over Rowand of 9,4SS.
This will be swelled to about 10000. The
prohibition vote was extraordinarily light.
In one of the district of the Thirteenth ward
one vote was cast for w. NJ. Price for Judge.
The Prothonotary's Office yesterday was a
very lively place. The Democracy showed
their interest by being on hand early and
closely watching the returns.
Another noticeable thing in his contest
was that only about 80 per cent of the dis
trict boards put in claims for two days pay.
In previous years about so per cent OF the
boards put in claims for double time. This
year only one-third made the claim. Some
of the boards had completed their count by
7:3O, and there were others with the same
number of votes that did not get through
until after II o'clock. The board to count
the vote will be appointed to-day.
The returns by wards from Pittsburg and
Allegheny were given in detail in yester-
days DISPATCH. In a few instances they

In the rural districts light vote was
polled, but the general ratios were pre-
served. As a politician remarked yester.
day, Mcdowell had such load to carry
that he ran behind the ticket.
Coroner Mcdowell, as nearly as it can be
approximately estimated, ran behind Boyer
aoout 5000 votes in the county. c. L.
Magee said last night that it was mistake
to say that Johnston's majority would reach
II, 900, as the Democrats claimed. At pres
ent it is difficult to estimate what the Re-
publican vote will be in the county. Mr..
Magee is authority also Tor the statement
that in Republican wards the gains and
losses for Mcdowell were at the rate of IL
for to 16 against him.
