The Evening dispatch. [volume] (Provo, City, Utah) 1891-1895, 1894-11-10

The Salt Lake Herald today says
that the latest returns strengthen the
hope that the democrats will have con-
troll OF the constitutional convention.
although the majority will, of course,
be very small. There is little doubt but
that Raleigh is elected over TreWeek.
in the third precinct of Salt Lake, and
in all probability an official count will
show that McCune (dem.) is also elect
ed, giving the democrats Six delegates
from Salt Lake county instead of five
as heretofore estimated. Then the
democrats are reasonably certain TO
elect one delegate from Willard county,
which had been conceded to the repub-
licans. Charley Crane is evidently de-
feated by his brother George. In San
pete outside of the election of one DEM
may possibly get the other six dele
gates or they may 90 to the repubIl-
cans, but the chances are in favor of a
division. The democrats may also
elect the delegate from Piute county,
SO that if all bat one delegate from San
pete are lost, and the democrats elect
only six instead of seven in Weber,
they ought still to have at least 81 DEL
gates in the convention, which gives
them mrj GRITTY Of one.
