Humboldt, as usual, showed its 10y
atty to the ticket by rolling up hand
some majorities for the whole ticket.
This was all the more commendable
from the fact that Humboldt although
one of the largest counties in me
State, was accorded no place on the
ticket by the Fusion conventions.
But defeat in convention never
