ATCHIsoN, Nov. 4.-The indications
are that the entire republican ticket
has been elected in Atchison county,
although the vote on treasurer is close
and 7. II. Martin, the peoples candi-
date, may be able to pull through.
There are nine county precincts yet to

fully half the democratic vote in the
rural districts. The total vote of the

have scored a surprising victory in
Shawnee county, every candidate on
the republican ticket carrying the city
of Topeka by pluralities ranging from
131 for Brown (colored) for county
clerk to 2, 712 for johnson circuit Judge

very meager, but reports from five
| townships show that the republican
vote is about equal to the democratic
and peoples party combined, the latter
two running about even.
Full returns from every precinct in
the city give the following republican
pluralities: Brown, clerk, 1871; Wilker-
son, sheriff, S15; Bear, register of deeds,
$50; Rogers. treasurer, $50; Bailey,
coroner. 1873; Bailey, surveyor, I,O19;
Knight county commissioner Second

for judge, a majority of the democrats
voting for Johnson, republican, against
Douthitt peoples party. The total
vote polled was only 1895, the total
registration being !, 900.

fourths of the precincts in the county
give the republican ticket an average
majority of about 100 over the peoples
ticket The precincts to hear from will
probably reduce this majority to IS.

cincts.

tiles ranging from las TO S2a
