for Governor, while. Eli Fl. Porter, of Whining

Practically the sole fight of the Democrats has
been to reduce the Republican plurality of 81.
600, given to Stickney for Governor in 1900, to
figure which would indicate significant gain
in Democratic strength A Republican plurality
under 25000 viii be regarded by the Democrats
a victory. The Republican leaders OF the
State expect at least 5000 plurality, and Sc
curing it, will regard the result as a strong in
dorsement of the Republican administration in
the State for the last two years and as an omen
of Republican success in the national election
OF November. a smaller plurality is expected by
the Republicans this year than was polled four
years ago. when many Gold Democrats voted
for Mckinley.
