adverse Democratic plurality Of 29OO in the previ-
Gus year was turned into a Republican plurality of
7OD upon the State ticket, was continued by a
sweeping victory for the Republican state ticket
again this year The Indications from the returns
OF the first 100 districts were that Morton had car
RED the county by 1880. which was borne out by
| later returns ana this conclusive proof that
| the Republicans had elected their city and county
tickets and had carried all the Congress districts,
! besides making a gain in members OF Assembly and
| in the Board Of Supervisors While the majorities
