LINCOLN, Sept. 4.-In thirty-seven pre-
cincts Reese feceived 1884 votes and Sedg-
wick 1,75S. The other precincts not vet
reported probably will maintain the same
proportion between the two candidates.
The vote on Clarke and Caldwell remains
practically the same as published last night
Caldwell maintaining his small majority
at TIE same ratio. though very few more
precincts have been heard from Chairman
Winnett of the Railway commission and
w. B. Rose. chairman of the state COM
mittee, say they are unable to account for
the slump in the Clarke vote in Lancaster
county, as it was generally supposed he
would get a splendid vote here. Clarke
lays II to the stun printed in the Evening
News, jumping onto the commission daily
and accusing the commission of decisions
advantageous to Omaha as against Lincoln.
Though this mas been printed frequently
by the Lincoln fake sheets, no decision
affecting either Omaha or Lincoln in the
matter of grain rates has been handed
down, though the Lincoln sheets claim the
10 per cent reduction in grain rates will
help Omaha and hurt Lincoln
II. c. Lindsay, who managed the Sedg-
wick campaign from here. said early in tho
game that it looked like Reese would be
nominated. He has managed the campaign
he said in such a manner that II will be
easy for him to assist in the election of the
republican nominee. Judge Reese is not
given to lengthy statements. but he did
say he appreciated the vote given him by
the republicans of the state and II elected
would serve the people to the best of his
ability.
Incidentally, a large number OF demo-
crats ,,ntad rapuh1ipan tipxets here Vester-
day. In one precinct where Mayor Brown
last spring got more than 200 votes, there
were less than twelve democrats registered,
while in other precincts well known demo-
Gratis are said to have registered as repub-
licans and voted for republican candidates.
This was brought about largely by reason
of the bar ticket, which was fixed up with
the aid of the democrats. These. of course,
voted the republican ticket at the primary
and helped to save at least two OF the bar
candidates, but failed to land the Third
district judge and county Judge.
In the local fight the following were sue
cessful, the scrap over third place on the
district Judge being still undecided as be"
tween Judge Stewart and Judge Waters.

So far no one has been able TO locate
any returns OF the democratic primary
! but some OF the democrats claim George
! l.. Loomis will receive a majority OF the
votes cast But the total democratic vote
will be of small consequence.
