Is counties out of total of l37 give the
Democratic ticket majority OF more
than 10000 There seems TO be no pos
sible doubt that the majority will reach
$4,000 when the vote of all the counties
is in. The third partyites will possibly
carry six or eight counties for the
legislature, and it is estimated that
their strength will be about twenty
members of the house of 175. The third
party leaders concede not less than
thirty thousand majority for the Demo-
cratic ticket at this hour, and are rails
ing their concessions at the rate of
about five thousand an hour.
Chairman Atkinson, of the state Dem
Ocratic executive committee, estimates
the majority at about $4,000. Vice

been one of the most active managers
of the campaign in behalf of the Dem
Ocrats, says the majority will be be-
tween $4,000 and 10000. The Constitu-
