mates of the election results based ON in
complete returns from nearly all counties
in Michigan, place Judge Grants plurality

numbers He has probably run but little
behind the Republican candidates for uni
versity regents. In Detroit Judge Grant
ran heavily behind his ticket and lost the
city by nearly 1000 and the county by
5000. The union labor movement against
Grant, however, had gained little impetus
IN the smaller cities and he nearly held
his own through the state at arge. 1t is
now certain that of the five Judges elected
to the circuit bench in Detroit, three are
Republicans, who are reelected Judge

ceived the largest majority, and the vote
from adjoining townships indicates also
the election Of Pound Oem.), by a close
majority. The two new judges of the
recorders court are Democrats. Detroit
and the other large cities of the state, with
the Pingree feature eliminated from the
contests, show Democratic gains. Other
wise the state shows little general polit-
zeal change.
