been received from ia precincts, giving
Morrill, 1850; Leedy 16,6I3. This
shows n republican loss in the same
precincts on the vote on governor in
1892 of 1000 and a fusion gain Of $50.
These figures represent about one.
ninth of the total vote OF the state and
the same ratio OF loss and gain kept up
10 the end would give the state to
Lccdy by 1900 or $1,000. Breidenthal
claims that these returns do not fairly
represent the fusion gains, as they are
from western precincts where the pop
ulation has become so sparse that the
fusion speakers had little room to
make converts.
The same ga precincts give McKin-
ley 1870; Bryan, 1s,O2s This indi-
Gates lead OF 1885 by Bryan over
Leedy, but an analysis and comparison
Of the returns develops the probable
fact that some, evidently majority Of
the Judges of election have either
counted the Bryan and Watson vote
for Bryan or thrown II out entirely.
In the IS counties Breidenthal has
heard from, he claims the election OF
"a mem bers of the house and IS OF the
senate, n total Of SO. Out Of this total
he claims gain of "a from the repub-
licans over the same representation In
the legislature of 1895. He esti.
mates that the Legislature will stand
on joint ballot: Senate-Fusionists,
81; republicans, 0. House-Fusionists,
a; republicans IS. Total fusionists,
los; total republicans, 81; fusion ma
jority on joint ballot, 81.
The populists have elected ut least
Ave of the eight congressman. Chair
man Breidenthal makes this estimate
of their majorities: Ridgeley in the
Third, $500; Vincent In the Fifth,
1900; Mccormick in the Sixth, 1900;
Simpson in the Seventh, $500; Botkin,
at large, 10000
The republicans concede these claims,
with the exception Of congressman.at-
large. They claim Frederick In the
First by 5000, Harris in the Second by
1000, Curtis in the Fourth by 500; Blue,
at large. by 1000. The six judges OF
the appellate court elected are: Abijah
Wells (rep.), J. II. Mahan (pop.), $. W.
McElroy (pop), Mauford Schoonover
(pop.), A. W. Dennison (pop) and d. +.
