John Lind does not concede Clough' 8
\ ceaectIon. The Democratic candidate
sat IN the rooms of the state De1noc-
racy yesterday and received the con-
ordinations of his supporters and ad-
n1irers over the wonderful race he
mad made. But while he received
compliments with modesty, he refused
to accept condolences. .I am not yet
defeated on the face Of the returns, i"
ne said. There are still many pre-
efnets to hear from and am confident.
and Mr.. Rosing assures me that I
shall make distinct gains in most of
those precincts. If Cleugh should be

AT Republican state Headquarters
yesterday there was so little doubt as
TO the election of Clough that prepara-
lions were being made to close UP the
rooms, and get the work into more com
pact quarters. There Is no more doubt
40 " eIc eIeCt1on VI CIOugh than there
IS doubt Of McKinley's election" said
Chairman Warner. I'VE have heard
from every county. and If all the miss
ing precincts should declare in favor
or Lind he could not overcome CIough's
present majority. The least we claim
for Clough ises;900 and it may go
above 10000. Returns that have been
received today, from the congressional
committees rather increase the ma
Jorities OF all the Republican candi-
dates
It was the opinion Of many about the
Democratic state headquarters yester-
day that the stormy weather of last
week saved the Democrats from still
worse defeat than overwhelmed them.
The Republicans had planned house
toulouse canvass in that last week, and
but for the storm would have reduced
the figures materially.
