the Democratic claim Of tho clecs lion Of

conceded by Secretary BiXby, OF the Re.

claims positively that tho Republicans

At tho Republican Headquarters it is
claimed that the Republicans have made

which would wipe out the anti Republi-
can majority Of two years ago and in.

The danger to the Republicans Is in
Hennepin county.
If their claims there are not con-
firmed by the returns they will prob
ably lose the legislature. But as Nelson,
the Republican candidate for governor,
has carried that county bys3, 500 there
seems little doubt that the legislature
ticket has also been successful. No

says there is no doubt that almost all the
conservative members who have sat in
parliament in the last twenty years have
received money from McGreevy. 1t he
proves Sir John was cognizant of the
fraud perpetrated to obtain money, it will
be the greatest scandal that ever saw the
