This & very consorvative estimate, Judge Post’s majority in Douglas county will not be less than 5,000 and may reach 10,000, This encouraging outlook should not, however, detor any man who takes pride in of thy state from exerting all his per- sonal on behalf of Judge Post from now until the polls close. more influence | ture of | of stoffice orders | the good name | THAT RE M SLATURE.

It is true that Pirtle only drew #8500, but Edwards, his substitute, who probably made the entire compilation, drew the other $800..
