Those to Republicans say they have
carried thirteen counties, making gains
in some. Those to Democrats say they
have carried five counties, some by in
creased majorities. The Republicans
are jubilant. Their State chairman says
his predictions are holding up perfectly
and asserts that Mckinley carries the
State by $4,000 and that Russell wins for
Governor by over 10000. The Demo
cratic chairman says it requires much
time to count the new ballots as they
