Both of these wards are largely popu-
lated with Germans and the G. A. R is
very strong throughout both. The
Jewish vote was nearly solidly polled
Democratic and the CO ored voters
scratched the Republican ticket badly
in a numbe of wards.
The Democratic gain over the vote
polled at the last Presidential election
in this city is something like $4,000.
The majority of 1883 was between TO-
900 and 11,OOO Republican and the
Democratic majority of the cleo
ton it is thought will reach 1000.
The reasons assigned for the heavy
Democratic gains arc that the Jews
voted the Democratic ticket solid; that

Gratis elected the entire city ticket with

GREENE COUNTY.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo, Nov. 5.-The Dem
ocrats of this (Greene) county made
splendid fight at the election here yes
terday and have won a big victory.
Two years ago the Republicans elected
their entire county ticket by plurali-
ties ranging from about 800 to 1, 100.
This time the indications point to the
election of most, if not every candidate
on the Democratic county ticket and
Judge Fyan. Democratic candidate for
Congress- has undoubtedly carried the
county by from 500 to 500 plurality over
Wade, R., who two years ago carried
the county by 1, 100 plurality.
7. J. Delaney, member of the State
Central Committee, claims the election
of Fyan in this district by 1, 200 plural
ity, while others estimate Fyan's plu-
rality at anywhere from 500 to 2, 900.
CLAY COUNTY.
LIBERTY, Mo, Nov. 5.-The contest for
county offices in Clay County was very
warm. The Republicans only had part
of ticket in the field, and cut no fig
ure in the election owing to being so
greatly in the minority. The fight was
among the Democrats. Reports from
various parts of the county show that
John NJ. Harrell, an Alliance man, but
a Democrat, has defeated Major T. K
Cash for the Legislature. The latter is
the present incumbent The indica-
tions are that w. E Fowler, of Excel
sior Springs, has been elected probate
judge. In the race for clerk, sheriff and
recorder, the three most warmly con-
tested offices, it IS so close that it is m
possible to tell who are in the lead.
The county will give Dockery for Con-
gress the usual big majority

are that this voting precinct,

KEYTEsvnLE, Mo, Nov. 4-Returns
from the election in the county are very
meager owing to lack of Geographic
facilities Only three precincts out of

Gratis have made a net gain of 2S4 ma
jority in Keytesville, Bowling Green
and Brunswick townships over the vote
