Klnkald Republican Taylor or Dean Democrat Despite figures, prospects, hopos and fearB, the official count is tho thing that Is being relied on now to settle tho fight between Dahlman and Shnl lonberger. Ten counties havo so far sent In their official returns. It Is ex pected that half of them will have reached the office of the secretary of Btato by the first of the week. Count clerkB are given ten days in which to send their returns to the state house and usually a few counties aro slow about doing so. It is improbable that any official count will be possible be foro the very late part of this week. Sixty-seven complete counties on democratic governor give: Shallenber ger 21,090; Dahlman, 2:1,578. Fifteen Incomplete counties give: Shallenber ger, 3,028; Dahlman. 1,012. Total vote up to date: Shaflonberger, 24,304; Dahlman, 25,190. Dahlman's majority, 1,120. Fifty-six complete counties on re publican for governor give: Aldrlch, 14.355; Cady, 11.812. Twelve Incom plete counties give: Aldrlch, 1.4CG; GOV. A. C. SHALLENBERGER. Cady, 973. Total vote Aldrlch, 15,821; Cady, rich's lead, 3,000. up to 12,815. date: Ald- At the governor's headquarters It was declared that Shallenberger would win by 300 to 400. This estimate is based on wire reports being received at his offices. All but seven counties havo been heard from by Secretory Furse, and he estimates that Dahlnmn is htlll In the lead by 250. Ho expects that In the remaining seven counties this lend will be mado up. In secur ing his estimates Mr. Furso does somo estimating. Ho takes counties where tho report Is but partial and considers thnt the same ratio will bo maintained in tho precincts yet to bo heard from. Thus his estimate that Dahlman is but Governor la Populist Nominee. If Governor Shallenberger Is not the nominee ot tho democratic party he will bo tho nominee of tho populist party and mnny politicians believe In thnt event ho will romnln on the popu list ticket In the hopo ot defeating Dahlman In n three-cornered light. Some contend that If the governor Is not tho cholco of tho democratic party bo will withdraw front tho rnco und step nsldo nnd leave n clear field for a hand to hand conflict between the republican and democratic nominees. 250 In tho lend Is based on a probable total vote In till but seven counties of the state. On the republican contcBt for sena torial nomination Hurkctt continues to Increase his lead. In fifty-three com plete counties reporting nnd In eight partial counties In addition to thoso, tho vote stands: Hurkctt 10,015, Who don 0.D98, Adams 11,142. Sorenson nnd Hlrmlnghnm nro each to bo credited with a few hundred votes In addition to these figures. Up to date the democratic party has polled In the gubernatorial contest 49,8:ii; votes, while the republicans JAMES C. DAHLMAN. have polled but 28,413 votes. This is a majority for the democrats In. the primary vote of 21,423 votes. Two years ago the republican party polled 18,000 more votes ut the primary than did the democrats. The lutter bids fair to turn the tables with a vote of more than 20.000. It appears at pres ent ns lr the republican vote would be 17,000 or 18,000 lighter than It was two years ago when there was no contest on the head ot the ticket. The demo cratic vote will bo anywhere Trom 20,000 to 25,000 larger thnn It was two yearB ago. In rorty-one counties tho vote of Hitchcock ror senator Is 15,740 to 4,839 ror Metcalfe and 2.810 ror Reed. Chris Gruunthcr has wired Mayor Dahlman congratulations.

Metcalfe was de feated In the race for United States senntor, he had the satisfaction of carrying the Ninth wnrd in Omaha, his old home, over G. M. Hitchcock, who lives In that city. Metcalfe, In fact, had a mnjorlty over both his op ponents there. The vote resulted: .Metcalfe 522, Hitchcock 485, Reed 17.

Returns Troni tho Fifth und Sixth districts, the "cow coun try." nro coming slowly nnd nro In sufficient to give a definite Idea of the result In those districts. A report from Omaha Bays: "Returns on governor from 745 out or 1,025 precincts In the stnte, includ ing Douglas and I.ancnster counties, give D.ihlmnn (democrat), 18.29S; Shallenberger, 14,112; Aldrlch (repub lican), 10,1512; Cady, 9,094. These pre cincts Include many or the counties admittedly Shallenberger territory nnd an extraordinary gain in the re mainder or the stnte will be required to overcome Dahlmnn'a lead." GILBERT HITCHCOCK. Congressional Contests. Returns from the congressional dis tricts aro too incomplete to give a dellnlto notion of the successful can didates. Up In tho Third district, a Tew counties hnve been heard Trom and show that Boyd lias received 570 and Brlnn 372. Brian was considered a standpatter. In the Fourth district Bailey of Falrbury and Good of Wnhoo are run ning neck nnd neck. Mnins, Miller and Gilbert are" far In the rear. In the First district Hayward's land slide may bo extensive enough to land him the nomination by 3,000 votes. His managers aro claiming that tho majority will not be ltss thnn that and mny run as high aB 3,500. Tho Second district is tho only one where the vote is complete. There Judge Sutton, progressive, has snowed R. L. METCALF. under C. L. Saunders, standpat, to the tune of 3,281 to 1.G80, almost double tho vote. In the Fifth district it Is almost evident that Harmon has lost to For mer Congressman Sutherland, who will oppose Norrls in November. Congratulations From the President. Lincoln, Nob.
