With the additions made in subse-
quent articles in which we simply
classified counties that had before been
considered doubtful, this table is exact
ly as we first published it. August 5,
except, for reasons that appeared good,
we dropped Harrison and Howard from
the list of Gear counties and trans
ferred Audubon and Dickinson Em-
-Osceola from the Gear side to the
Cummins side. Successive conventions
have without any exception confirmed
the correctness of our guess. The table
may be annoying, but we can't help it.
All we are trying to do is to give the
facts and conjectures based on facts.
We shall not be at all surprised to
find that our first impressions We're the
best, when we placed Audubon, Har-
rison and Howard in the Gear column.
We do not count for Cummins the votes
in Clinton for the same reason that we
fail to count Harbert, of Benton, for
Gear. Neither do we count Nichol, of
Marion Monroe, and Kendall, of Mon
roe, for Gear. The chances are that
they will go democratic. If they do not
lit viii be due to deals which defy all
calculation.
Marshall county we classify wholly
upon our own motion. Mr. Classen. the
senatorial candidate, objects to being
classified on either side, as he says that
he has not yet made up his mind as
| TO which way he will vote, but taking
leverything into consideration, including
the tendency of sentiment in the coun-
lty. we feel sure that Marshall's votes
are not Ciearvotes, and in the absence of
other candidates, feel justified in class
Ling them on the Cummins side. If Gin
ton should go republican it means two
more votes for Cummins.
The result in Muscatine compels us
4 for the first time to change our figures.
! Taking the representative from Musca-
| tine from Cummins and giving it to
4 Gear makes 60 for Gear to 4s for Cum
Minis. We may just as we'll say rght
not that from what information W.
Z
Gear. and also the senator from Chick
asaw-Floyd making G., while the sen
ator from Buena Vista Humboidt-P Pc
eahontas. and the representative from
Worth-Winnebago we believe belong t
the Cummtns column making 80 TO
Cummins.
~
to guess at the senatorial votes o
cerro Gordo franklin Hancock an,
Hanilton- Wright Hardin. and tn
Representative votes of Buena Vista
Cherokee. Franklin Grundy, Howard
Hardin. Harrison, Hamilton, Ida
Monona and Kossuth. We have no in
Formation that Will enable US to forn
AN intelligent opinion upon these an
We do not care to indulge in guessin
pure and simple.
If our figures are near the truth
viii be seen that Mr.. Cummins is no
yet OUT of the race, although Senate
Gear leads by twelve votes. "A man VIII
has fifty votes to his credit is certainl
a formidable candidate. 1t would /
remarkable if we had not made at lea:
. four or five errors on one side or ii
other and we will confess that OF
errors. if errors there are, are as like
70 be on one side as the other, for W
have tried to pass on the matter witt
out any bias.
