veyor. the democratic populst ticket
has carried Madison county with ma-
iorities ranging from 200 to j0o posi-
hlv larger The average of the
525, and on :, straight party vote the

Ont Of u total registration OF :,,241. an

The returns which the MADlSONlAN
presents 10 ita readers this week. while
covering nearly I'LL the comfy that
could be reached, do not give the
complete returns on both state and
county tickets many cases we have
received returns only on the county
ticket. For this reason our report
while fairly complete as to the county
ticket. is very unsatisfactory. as to the
state, congressional and electoral tick
cts. However, it i safe to say that
Madison county, the banner gold
county of Montana, will go to the bor-
der of Silver Bow with clean, hand
some majority Of 1900 for the Bryan
electors, which takes the sting off the
national defeat On this basis, if the
other counties in Montana do as we'll
as old Madison. figuring that 10000
votes were polled in the state. Bryan
will get 10000 votes in Montana. BOZ
Smith has $50 votes, Botkin 100.
Smiths ma aiority in the county will be
about $50. Hartman's majority in the
county will be fully 1000. The vote
now stands: Hartman 1867, Goddard
1863.
Sixteen precincts ont of 33 give Show
crs. Independent candidate for district
Judge, 655, Parker, democrat, 81. Con-
ger u. Parker has carried Jefferson
county and Showers has majority in
Beaverhead. The result is in doubt
and it will probably take the final count
to decide
The vote on the legislative ticket
stands: W. A. Clark, democrat. 40, M.
II. Lott 59l, with IL small precincts to
hear from. Owslcy and Taylor are
