| legislature?

accept the vice presidential nominal
ton which the east Is framing up fol
him, and theScoming legislature would
have to elect two instead of one
United States senator.

in the primary with respect to the
nomination of republican candidates
for the legislature were noted.

Woodbury. county was defeated for re-
nomination for senator by Robert

date when Mr. Jackson announced that

the primary election unless 1t con-
formed to the result in his own@coun-
ty. Mr.. Hunter announced himself
as candidate on the platform OF
abiding by the state primary. He de-
feated eSnator Jackson. whoSa only
asked for second term, by vote of
1884 to 1,76S, altho Senator Allison
carried the county by about 900 ma
jority.
