Just closing has been one Of the hottest
struggles ever known In American poll

the result which he sent 20 the press this
evening, puts the State in the doubtful
column. This is moro of n concession than
the democracy has made regarding the
state at any time since the opening of
the campaign. The democratic leaders
have always insisted that they would carry
