THE C. U. VOTE 39,763.
Republican Vote for Head of the
Ticket ZIG ,236.

Two years ago Republicans and Citizens Union
men manifested great deal of interest with refer
ence to the the respective organizations for
the head of the ticket. This year the Republicans
consider that easy ma tier to calculate the
vote polled by the Union. inasmuch as the name
of Denis o Brien while on both the Republican and
Democratic tickets. not that of the Citizens
Union. Therefore the combined vote of the Demo-
Gratis and the Republicans minus the total vote
cast for Judge O'Brien. ought to represent the
strength of the Citizens Union. it is assumed
that Citizens Union voter after voting under
the Liberty emblem. would go to the trouble of
placing Xxx before Judge O'Brien's name in
view of the fact that he had considerable OPP
position.
The Board of Elections yesterday issued a tabu-
lated statement giving the vote for BOW Mcclellan
and O'Brien. With the ready pencil the sharps
figure out the voting strength of the Union in
each Assembly district, as follows:

ODELL NAY RUN AGAIN.
UyM Not Commit Himself, Hoo
eUer-CandI affairs.

Considerable significance was attached last
night by Republicans. at the monthly meeting
of the Republican Club. to a statement by Gov
ernor Odell that at no time has he SAID that ne
would not be candidate for denomination at
the Republican State convention next fall. The
question was put TO him in this fashion:
Governor in order to dissipate possible mis-
apprehension will you say whether IN any pub
lie or formal statement you have at any time
said whether you would or would not be can
cidate for reelection next fall?'
Il never have said that 1 would not be a
candidate" said the Governor.
will you say whether you will be?" he was
asked.
Il will not" was the prompt answer.
The Governor will be in town to-day. In an
swer to inquiries ne said that he had not made
any plans to attend any political conferences of
any sort, and he said he did not know OF any
being on for to-day.
While the Governor would not discuss canal
affairs he intimated that bond issue for the
beginning of work the canal would be au-
thorized early in 1904. He said that nothing
could be done to carry out the will OF the peo-
pie as expressed at the polls on November 8
until the vote of the State had been officially
canvassed which would not be until between
December II and 20. After that, IL is under
stood the Canal Board will meet and authorize
part of the $1OO0000O bond issue.
Nathan L. Miller one week ago, While state
Controller, said that good part of l9O4 would
be occupied with taking another survey of the
canal before practical work would be begun.
such prolonged survey will be necessary. as 1t Is
understood to be the intention of the Canal
Board to progress the early work on the canal
project as soon the vote is officially canvassed
