CHILDREN RETURNS.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov G.-The returns
from distant counties are srill behind. The
election is still in donbt Austin will not
have over 1000 majority, and possibly may
be defeated. The vote is light. The dem.
ocrats gain four senators and five or six
representatives. Hundreds who voted for
Austin will be glad to learn that he is Dc,
feated. Next to Donnelly he was proved
the greatest disturbing element of the sea-
son.
In sc counties the Press figures Otis $50
ahead, and says if Austin is elected it will
be by the skin of his teeth The Pioneer
returns make Otis COS ahead, and thinks
his election probable. A dozen small coun'
ties are yet to be heard from, but the votes
from Lake Superior will decide the election
Bets are rather in favor Of Otis. The dem
ocrats have gained more than dozen mem
| bers Of the Legislature, and hosts of county
| officers.
