II is said Tonight ma the gold and
silver republicans are as far apart as
Of their fusing. The silver republicans
viii probably put up a ticket that will
be straight silver republican for state
and county offices, according to present
indications.
Outside of the city precincts, as far
as has been heard. there has been no
contest either i'm the democratic or sill
Yer republican primaries. As there are
no sunday trains on any OF the ranch
cs, II viii be late before the returns
are received. on Monday all Of the
returns will be in except from such
remote precincts as Forest city. The
status Of the sheriff fight i'm the city
gives each Of the candidates about an
even break, and II win depend upon
the outside precincts To decide the con-
test
