TONET AND BAKERS VICTORY.
The overwhelming victory of the Demo-
Gratis was the chief tonic of conversation
in Manchester yesterday.
Mr.. Toney was being congratulated on
many sides. Alanchester's vote was small.
all agree, simply because a small vote
would be sufficient TO crush out any pre-
tensions of Populists or those who are
Democrats but will not submit 10 the
decisions OF Democratic conventions or
primaries. Returns from the Out-Of-way
sections of the counties come in slowly.
IL is certain. however. that Messrs. Toncy
and Baker are chosen by a majority that
completely SHOWS the other candidates
out of sight.
