Seven or eight counties have not yet been
heard from, but these are principally i'll
the northern part of the state, which is
sparsely settled. In several larger coul-
ties the pluralities only have been cst!-
mated. and this renders it extremely
difficult to give even an approximate vote
on the three leading guhernatorial candi-
dates. 1t may be several days before
all the counties return an accurate vote,
and in the meantime the people must con-
tent themselves with an incomplete vote,
and that partially estimated. There is
no question, however, regarding Nelson's
election; even the Democratic state cen
trail committee comedies that, and the
whole state ticket is probably elected.
From the figures received at headquar-
tiers last night Nelson has a plurality Of
l3.9;'4. and this, the committee expects,
will be increased to at least 5000. Nell
sons vote will be close ON to 10000, and
LAWYERS about 100000. Donnelly may
receive as high as $4,000. The fusion
electoral vote, however, will not come
within many thousands Of the sum of the
I.nwler and Donnelly vote.
There is some question whether Judges
Dickinson and Vandcrburgh have been
reelected. the vote being regarded as
very close. Buck and Canty received a
large vote, and the official count may be
in their favor

reduced the size Of the puralitics. The
Republicans claim to have received returns
in scventy-one counties and reliable semi
teen. On these Chairman Dick claims the

the Harrison electors will have $50. This
is a material sealing down from yesterday.
The Democrats claim 1000 plurality for
the Cleveland but do not offer details as to
cral college will be divided. Seward and
Danford. respectively on the head of the
Democratic and Republican electors, run
ahead of the others because the electors
