suit shows heavy gains for the Repub-
leans throughout the entire county
Owing to the heavy vote polled the re-
turns We're slow to come in. For con-
gress forty-four districts out of "a total
of 256 give plurality to John Leisen-
ring of 1,j05 over W. III. Hines. The
balance of the county ticket as far as
heard from shows heavy gains for the
Republican candidates, thereby insur-
ing the election of the entire ticket at
from $500 to 5000 pluralities. For
president in the last presidential cleo
tiOn Harrison carried Luzerne county
by vote of 2,532 over Cleveland, who
received 2,4O9. Comparing the vote with
these figures shows net gain by the
Republicans Of 1872, while the Demo-
Gratis ran III behind, taking RhOne as
having the largest vote In upper Le-
high, the home Of Candidate Leisen-
liilS, IL NDlt NdS given lllill,
while in Mr.. Hines own ward where he
should have received a majority Of 40
he falls twcnty-seven behind Mr.. Sing
erly's vote. The individuality of both
men is consequently very apparent. ii
is estimated Leisenring will bury Hines
by Il majority ranging between 1000 IL
5000
AT 3 a. m. the vote stood as follows:
