OMAHA, November S.
The World-Herald says that the vote
on supreme judge is decidedly close and
that Post has a majority OF 1902, with
forty-six counties to hear from which
may cut his present majority. It also
says that returns from eighty cities
and towns outside OF Douglas and Lam
caster counties, gives Post 1910, Ed
gerton S,1SS, and that Lancaster coun-
ty will give Post a plurality OF 800 and
Douglas county 5000. The Bee says
the official vote from thirty-fiye OF the
ninety counties in the state, outside of
Douglas and Lancaster counties, shows
a total vote OF 33, 1888 for Post and 3d.
OBS for Edgerton. These same counties
last year gave Richards, republican. 3d.
1874, Boyd, democrat, 25,576, and
Powers, independent, 34,874. Partial
returns from other counties in the state
furnish the bases for an estimate of
POSTS election over Edgerton by a
majority Of 5000.
Complete returns from forty-two coun-
ties in Nebraska, outside OF Douglas
county, gave Post a majority OF 1900.
Posts majority IN Douglas county is
closely estimated at 6,1OO. The Bee
claims Post will be elected byfrom4,O 900
to 5000 majority. The World-Herald
claims Edgerton is elected by q small
majority. The republican state central
committee states that q careful and con-
sentative estimate, giving Edgerton the
advantage OF all doubt makes POSTS
plurality outide OF Douglas county $50.

second Ward.

In so far that we can learn, there was
an effort in nearly every precinct to
comply with the strict letter OF the law.
The only mistakes SO far heard OF was
in the second ward. Here under the di-
rections OF that staunch republican,. Il.
Price, two Booths were used which faced
the streets and were open to the view OF
all, entirely contrary to instructions and
which would be sufficient to thlowout
the vote. if Contest was made. We pre-
sumo other Irregularities may be shown
in the coufsc OF the Canvass.
In the Second Ward also, the only at
tempt was made OF the old plan Of vot-
ing your gang. A contractor came into
the room with his men and appeared
very anxious to instruct them. III. z.
Lewis one OF the judges, notified him to
step outside. The notice had to be re-
peated with a threat OF arrest before the
party complied. This was the only oper
attempt in the city at violation OF the
law and Mr.. Lewis is commended for his
prompt action in the matter.

rhe Australian system.

The new voting system was a grand
success. Every encompasses themselves
us pleased with it. One gentleman While
praislng it~yctthought the Illinois system
had one advantage. The candidates OF
each party regrouped, the three tickets
entire printed side by side. But we be-
lieve the mixing is good. A voter should
possess intelligence enough to select his
men and ii he is forced to read the names
OF all candidates he may be tempted to
placed men above parties, one object
OF the system. The only criticism we
heard was from one democrat that in his
excitement claimed that under the old
system they would have carried the city
for j. NJ. Woods. 1t was u very quiet
electionday and the usual ticket pedlers
looked very lonesome.

VERY CLOSE.
The Returns Come In Slowly
George Wells Comes within
Eighteen Votes Of
'wiping Out a Republican Majority
Of Over 200 and the DEM
nnratin Candidate.

Returns from the eastern part Of the
state come in slowly the vote is very
light and will not exceed 10000. All
parties have suffered from 'tthe sta. at
homes''. The eastern papers claim the
state for Jolly by about 1000 plurality.
But the first and last reliable informa-
ton received here before going to press
was a dispatch received yesterday fore
noon from sec'y. W. E. Kidd to the
effect that in &c counties Jolly had a
plurality Of 100, while q careful estimate
OF the balance gave Smith 500 plurality.
The result will be so close that it will
probably take the official v to
determine.
The independents OF the Hills can con-
graduate themselves on the good fight
that they have made. Pennington has
gone independent by about one hundred
votes, Meade by sixty odd and Butte by
over one hundred. When complete re.
turns are in, if they do not show Smith
elected they will at least show a gain in
the independent vote.

Those persons who read newspapers
and quite a number are supposed to do
so-frequently see mention made Of AL
lance tickets, Alliance parties, Alliance
candidates, etc. All such statements are
groundless. The Alliance is not a polit-
ical party, makes no nominations, has
never a ticket or candidates.
The Alliance is an order that investi-
gates political questions and imparts in
struction on political economic affairs.
Members of all political parties make up
the order and the only influence it ex-
erts is through the information it secures
and imparts to its members on political
Or governmental subjects.
To impart reliable information on
these subjects is very dangerous to the
present political parties, and this is
wherein the offense of the Alliance lies.
Those whose deeds are evil fear the
light. Hence the hubbub raised against
the Alliance.-Rising Sun (Mo.) Mid
