4 Oskaloosa, Oct. 81. The result Of the
congressional ticket In the Sixth dis
trict is no longer in any doubt. The
careful and conservative estimates Of
the county chairmen in the counties of
the district count Mr.. Lacey's plurality
at between 800 and 1000. There are
others in the campaign work who have
been in touch with the work of both
parties who claim that Major Lacey's
plurality l7be as great as 800. Some
think this IL a little extravagant, but
those who are In q position to know OF
the polls of the counties claim that Mr..
Lacey will be returned to his seat in
congress by the largest ma jority that
ne has ever had. Democrats all over the
district concede the election of Mr.. Las
cey, and In sporting circles there are no
wagers being laid on Mr.. Steck. There
have been some efforts to get bets on
the size OF Lacey g ma iority in the dis.
trict, and in this the democrats concede
Mr.. Lacey about 100.
The canvass in the district has now
narrowed itself down to the results that
may be obtained from personal appeal
to republicans on the strength of the
good fellow racket. Personal appeals
have been made to democrats that We're
| formerly prominent in party action to
Iicome out and show themselves and TO
| a ssist in getting more enthusiasm into
the campaign. Amos, all OF these app
! peals have met with absolute refusal on
the part of the parties solicited and the
fact has been developed that q large
number of the old line democrats will
lgive their support and their votes to Mr..
\ Lacey.
There is but one county in the district
that can give majority against La
cey. and even this one, the chairman
4 claims, will be for that gentleman other
statements to the contrary notwith-
standing.
