nearly 200. This fight in Dickinson
was really fight between anti-prohibi-
ton and prohibition, with Mcclure as
the anti-prohibition candidate. Mich
olson was supported by the republican
party, and possessed all the advantage
which might go with the regular nomi-
nee of a so-called non-partizan conven-
ton. Besides this fact, Mcclure did
not come before the people in time to
give his friends the chance to do thor
ough work for him. AS a consequence,
he is defeated in the district by prob
able majority of 700. Both of the Jul
dicial candidates were democrats.

STATE ELECTIONS.

The elections in the various states on
Tuesday passed off quietly, and it may
be truthfully stated that the returns
indicate that the battle between the
two great parties is about draw. The
Kansas City Times, editOrially, says:
"Public interest centers more in the
Massachusetts, and the Virginia cleo
lions than in any others that took place
yesterday. The contest in Massachu-
sets was of an exceedingly personal
character, and there was the largest
vote registered and cast that there has
been for many years. In Virginia a
great number of republicans had be-
come disguised with Mahoneism and
the democrats were we'll organized and
very hopeful of a favorable result. 1t
had been fairly assumed that New York
would go democratic. New Jersey,
Maryland and Minnesota elected gov
ernors, state officers and legislatures as
well as Massachusetts,. New York
elects a legislature and Virginia and
Mississippi. Massachusetts, has gone
about $4,000 majority against General
Butler, and whoever supposed that he
was possible candidate for the presi-
dency will be undeceived. 1t is a relief
that Butler is disposed of, and the dem
ocrats have nothing to regret in his de-
feat.
Connecticut has gone republican.
They will have majority of forty in
the legislature ON joint ballot. New
York has gone democratic and Virginia
is won from Malone. The news from
New Jersey also shows a democratic
victory. There are large republican
gains in Pennsylvania and large demo-
cratic gains in Minnesota. Mississippi
has gone overwhelmingly democratic
and Minnesota republican, 1t must
fairly be conceded that the democrats
did not do so well as expected in New
York. The head of the ticket is de-
feated as a ring candidate, but the rest
of the state ticket is elected by about
Is, 600 majority.
Carrying New York fully assures the
presidential election next year. Too
sweeping success might have made the
democrats careless. They will now be
vigilant, and the success next year will
be certain.

On last Monday afternoon terrible
cyclone passed over Springfield, Mo-,
destroying property variously etitimated
at from $200,0 to S250,000. Over one
hundred houses were blown down, five
persons were killed and about forty
wounded. Cyclones are very unusual
in November, and it is said this one
was fully as destructive as those that
visited Missouri in the summer.
