day giving a Democratic majority

! cratic ticket by a decided majority.

tority Of 12S: Bland District. a Demo-
cratic majority OF no and Templeton
District a small Democratic majority.

jority. and this majority was made sig
nal by the votes OF Republicans and
Populists with the Democrats. Colonel
