the party there would be offset hy

expected that the Democracy with Hill at
its head would show recuperstion from the
vote given for Maynard in 1893 In ali the
Democratic estimates on the eve of elec-
tion il was contended that the Democratic
plurality below the Harlem would be AZ

ANALYSIS shows that Senator Hall
will run behind even the vote of May
