elsewhere, hence the legislature, as
usual, is largely Democratic.
DAKOTA.
YANKTON, Nov. THAT portion
of Dakota south of the forty-siXth
parallel voted yesterday on the ratifi-
cation of the Sioux Falls convention
in September. The proposition is to
present it to congress this winter and
ask admission of the south half of
Dakota, which contains 100000 people.
There being no general election in the
territory, a light vote was polled.
The governor and his followers inaug-
urated vigorous war against the
constitution about month ago, and
kept it up until the last day. Returns
come in slowly. Incomplete figures |
from fifteen out of forty-five counties |
give the constitution 10000 majority. |
MINNESOTA.
ST. PAUL, Nov. THE majority |
for Hubbard, Republican, will be
nearly $4,000, while the rest of the
Republican ticket, with the exception
of Lieut.. Gov. Gilman, will have
about $4,000; Gilman has 10000.
Owing to the fact that many counties
and precincts have no Geographic or
railroad communication, it will be
some days before the definite result
will be known.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 7.-Official returns
from six counties give partial returns
and estimates from about fifty coun-
| ties, and estimates based upon the
the election two years ago from the
remaining ten counties, give Hub
bard 14,O00 majority and the rest of
the Republican Ticket about 1900.
These figures will not vary much from
the official figures.
