favorable outlook for the Republicans.
" The election was opiot and without

gress, running 1,4S!tto 1,143 for Ilarri-

patches from GAINESVILLE estimate Ter
rvs majority at 500 in Johnson county

says Indications point TO heavy
vote in White County, and a
large Democratic gain. This township,
which gave Eagle, Dem, 60 majority,
gives breckenridge l0a majority for
shorf term and 164 for long term. Eight
townships out of thirty gave Hrecllen-
ridge 422 majority which points To GOO
to ZOO majority in county. Tclegraphic
messages from Helena, Clayhourn
county, says three townships give lsrecs-
enridge 1871. Indications are that his
majority in the county will be about
$50. a telegram from Russclville
claims 1000 majority FOR Breckenridge
in Pope county. From the First dis

in Walnut Ridge township, Lawrence
