ton, &c.
DETROIT Mich, April O. 185s
The election returns coming in clearly indicate
the defeat OF the new constitution. 1t cannot yet
be in ged how the vote on prohibition has gone
Negro suffrage is embodied In the new constitution
The only separate articles submitted prohibition
and the question of annual biennial sessions OF
the Legislature.
Complete returns for the city OF Detroit give for
the constitution 2,45s against $780, only one ward
giving majority for it; for prohibition ,534 against
G,567, and for annual sessions 1855 against 6,672.
At this hour (half-past ten p. NJ returns from
seventy towns, including Detroit, show majority Of
$3.50 against the constitution
The vote on prohibition outside Detroit, is about
equal II is thought returns from the rural districts
will overcome the 5000 majority given against the
measure in Detroit.
DETROIT, April 0-Midnlght.
Returns from one hundred towns give 1858 votes
against the constitution The vote on prohibition
will be quite close, and it is impossible to tell to-
night what the result will be. The municipal elec-
