BAILEY SCORES.
Secures Plurality of Delegates
Elected Saturday.
Now Figured That He Has sc
Out of I5S.
IN HIS TERRITORY.
Admitted That Seventh District
is For Him.
TrOutman and Miller Each Have
AZ Delegates.

Out of 15S delegates elected to the Re
| publican state convention Saturday, ii
| is probable that 66 are for Bailey for
! first choice. This does not mean that
| they will absolutely vote for Bailey, be-
cause this number includes IA delegates
| from Mcpherson county who favor
Bailey personally but may be divided
| in the interest of Frank Nelson.
| saturday was a Bailey day, because
/ most of the conventions were held in
! the Seventh district, which has been
counted largely for Bailey. In fact
| the field' considers it a victory when
| a Seventh district county fails to in
| struct for Bailey.
| AS near as can be approximated the
| delegates elected Saturday stand as fol-
lows on the gubernatorial situation:
| Bailey, sc.
Miller, "a.
| Troutman, 20.
| Richter, 10.
! Cole, 4.
| Cole will probably get a good sprink-
| ling of the doubtful votes. And when
the Third district begins to hold con-
| Ventlons he will get all of them
| On the 1S4 delegates elected previous
| to Saturday the following forecast has
| been made:
| Bailey, II.
/
| Troutman. 22
Richter, 30.
| Miller, g.
Doubtful, 81.
are mere guesses based on the supposed
general sentiment and they may be
changed. They are not counting on En-
| right making combinations in the Sec
ond district, nor on the strength that he
may pick up because of his secret so
ciety affiliations, Enright is a great fra
ternity man and he may pick up num-
Der of scattering delegates because Of
his fraternal associations. But if these
figures are correct the estimate ON the
| S42 delegates thus far elected would be:
Bailey, 1877.
Troutman, AZ.
Miller, AZ.
Richter, 40.
Cole, so.
Doubtful 81
