BUFFALO, n. Y, Nov. THE Wells

A Small Gain.

ST. PAUL. Nov. 1.-THE official re-
turns from Wabasha, Winona, Douglas,
Benton, Redwood, Polk, Pipestone and
Washington counties have added nine
ty-two to Merriam's plurality and de-
Quoted 164 from Wilson, so that with
the official returns of twelve counties
yet to hear from the totals are: Mer-
riam, s7,354: Wilson, 5,l73; leaving a
plurality of >. l9l for Merriam. The Off
cial votes vet to be announced are those
Of Carver, Cass, Grant, Hennepin, Hub
bard. Kanabec. Lake. Otter Tail. Ram
sey. Renville. Sherburne and Stevens.
Assuming that the gains and losses
will be about equal on both sides, it is
safe TO conclude that Merriam's plural
ity will not be far below 1000.
