lican Opponent.

ity of Any Candidate
Taylors Run Well.

The state canvassng board has re-
ceived the returns from all the counties
of the state and while figures have not
been given out officially each officer
was interested in his Office and from
that sort of information the following
table is compiled. The figures are un-
doubtedly the same as will be III the
official announcement which will be
made on Tuesday.
Brightbill for state auditor has the
highest vote by ATS and the largest
majority by 1886. The next highest
were Olson and Gilbreath in the order
named. OF course, e. j. Taylor re-
ceived the largest number of votes as
the women of the state vote for sup
erintendent of public instruction. but
as he is in class by himself and nat
urally gets more votes than any of the
other candidates for other offices.
There have been good many guess
es made on the majority of Governor
Burke over G. A. johnson, it being
placed all the way from 1,50O up to
5000, the final count shows it about
half way between the two estimates.
Following is the table:

little band of Mai Dade 70 the hostile reds in

quarterbreed Dade's entire command was an

Almost the only thing on public view to-day

number of his subordinate leaders sign a trea

paper, stepped forward, drew his hunting
knife and stuck its blade through the docu

act was the soldier whose blood was one-quar-

Wales told was so horrible In It's outlines that
Capt Mackenzie treated 1t at first with ridi-
