James w. Good, of Cedar Rapids,

leads all candidates in Marshall county
in the way of majorities. Later re-
turns, and revision of figures, give
Good a majority of 1,341 over Trewir.
Cummins' majority over Allison in this
county is slightly reduced by the later
figures, which showed some corrections
over the earlier returns. Cummins' ma
jority stands unofficially at 1879.
Marshall county is the banner coun-
ty in the state for majorities to pros
gressive republican candidates. For
Cummins Marshall county gave more
votes, and bigger majority, than any
other Iowa county outside Of Polk.
Marshall county's Cummins vote and
majority are the largest in proportion
to the voting population Of any county

Cummins twice the majority Of Mar
shall, casts three times as many repub-
lican votes as Marshall county.
