for General Bushnell, Republican
candidate for governor, will reach
100000. He has sent a telegram to
General Bushnell congratulating him
upon his magnificent election as gov

committee, at this hour admits that
the face of returns so far received
indicate plurality of at least 40, 900
for Bushnell. He hopes, however,
that later returns will be more favor
able and does not yet concede the

ity on joint ballot in the general as
sembly.
