and Cold.
Boston, MASS, Nov. 3.-On account of
the new law passed by the last legislature
requiring the votes to be counted by two
different officials in order TO secure correct
ness, the returns are coming in more

state than ever before, although
the electoral machinery was never In
more perfect condition than in the present
election. Returns from 80 country towns
show net republican gain of 708, or IA
per town over last year. On this basis the
republican gain in the 353 towns of the
state would be 4, ,942. Last year Gov. Russell's

that he is elected by at least 4, 900 plurality

only 50towns are now in, it is utterly
impossible to give any idea Of the coul-
plexlon of the legislature.
