 Tuesday, April ?, 1S72-The Election
 As we figure it from the returns rcceiv-
 ed to this time. Jewell has made 2 net
 gain from last year of 1,766. If the I,o o,-1 1o not null these figures down, he is elected by the I people by a small majority. The sen- ate is republican by a majority of five to
 seven The house will probably have
 about the same majority as last year, l probably trife less. Marshall Jewell will be our next governor and republ- ican United States senator is secured. Good enough.
