Now flh.at all the isstns ibithe country have unuted to ruin the n;iXrion, by electiug Bryan, it Is' well fo look up Vhs votes tlhey luave polled iin tihe past. In 1892 i'he proHrübdtionlsts polled 44=0 votes ib t'ais oo-unby, of whfcli 92 wer in Ajmi ArDor city, and 73 iin Yp'Silanti city. The same yeor the populiists polled 70 votes in. trae county, 8 Lu Ann Artr tity and 2 in Yp sLJanti city. In 1894 the nmotojbitionists polled jusfc 400 votes for governor, apo tJhe populists polled 126. Now !i tihe fusionaste in tlliis county cia-n nold all tllnose votes íor theiii' count.y ticket tlney may possibly make a prebty hot íiglut, taut wo-uld yet Ik; iin tlhie minorlty. Granting for argument, that the gioid deni-ocrats are offset ty the b:Jver rep-ubKtoans, and tlhia.t the republiaams can tuold all tibe votes tliey liad in 1892, tüiie oounty would'Xeonain repoiblican by eomeNMng OAr 200 majority. In '92, Gov. Birih. carriedi !t(his county by 856, Spaldliïig by 822, Judson by '801. Daineing-burg by 675, McICinstry by 944. ReüüfuSB by 1,126, Ramdaal by 704. By addong 500 10■tB t tte democratie column, tftue preseut combine would still íall rfmorb oí electing a single maai on fine ticket, as the circuit cou'rt commiswio'iirs tod over 600 majority, and tüue coroïuers over 700. But ttue oppotion wül losse more democratie votes by oaeibial'f tlian thiey gaal republ'ican, and tllie proliibibiontótB are about equatly .livided dn the mioney quesbLon. Tllie demonoat fusi.anists caai aot count upon gaining oner 300 votes froin ttue prohíM'tionists and populista eoraibiiied. Tiue numiber al sfltver republioaaB they wiU gain can omly be stii.mated.
