SIT. In 1896 the republican vote for
the same precinct gave Scofeld 1856,
SilVerthorn 1850, showing big falling
off in the vote and considerable gain
in this city yesterday for the head of
the democratic ticket.
Chairman Treat of the republican
committee while not giving any ac-
curate figures, estimates Scofeld will
carry the state by $4,000 plurality and
claims majority of congressman.
From the legislative standpoint it
looks as though Scofeld will carry the
state by a somewhat reduced plurality
from figures estimated by Chairman
Treat.
At this hour there is nothing on
which to base the complexion of the
next legislature nor can the result on
congressman be stated.
