litical campaign is closing quietly. The pub
lie interest as compared with that exhibited

Chairman George Stone OF the republican
state central committee issued the follow

governor, to carry the state by plurality
of 1890 over Bell. 1t is estimated that
Gillett will carry thirty-four counties: that
Bell will carry twenty-three. and that one
is doubtful. We Will certainly elect eighl
republican representatives, and conserva-

out of 100 members Of the legislature will
be republican,.

Estimates Of republican and democratic
campaign managers are mat john
