of the Legislature and Probably the
Governor.
ST.. PAUL, Mimi, Nov 4.-Returns all day
have been generally favorable to the Demo-
Gratis, and the most sanguine Republicans
are not now claiming the election of McGill
as Governor by more than 5000, while the
Democrats are elated and confident that DIR.
Ames will be elected by small majority.
Hundreds of precincts in the State are re-
mote from telegraphic communication, and it
is quite probable that it may take an official
count to decide it. In Hennipen county, the
home of DIR. Ames. some 1900 ballots for him
were thrown out it is said, because the
words Labor Ticket" were printed thereon.
0tfsetting this, the Republicans claim exten-
sive Democratic frauds in this (Ramsey)
county. Whether McGill is elected or not,
the Republican State ticket as a whole GER
tainly is, as he ran 1900 behind the other
candidates for State offices. 1t is impossible
to give reliable figures on the composition OF
the next Legislature, but estimates now give
the Senate 80 Republicans and Is Democrats,
and the House 70 Republican and 25 Demo-
cratic and Farmers Alliance men.
The Republicans will have majority of al
least 40 on joint ballot in the next Legisla-
| ture.

The Times ON the New YORK EIectIon

1t shows that the opponents of anarchy
and spoliation have not awakened an instant
too soon to the perils of the situation Both
the Democratic and Republican parties have
suffered, and the danger is that these losses
tempt the machine to traffic with the pro-
moters of Geolge's candidacy to advance to
meet the demands of predatory seclusion.
Enterprising and industrious Americans
must look to it lest the appeals of tie dema-
gogues to the half instructed and restless ar
tisans in these great cities should infiict
damage upon the public credit and paralyze
the productive resources of the country

The Presidents View of the situa-

The President sees sunlight through the
cloud. Here is what he thinks, according to
the statement of a Cabinet officer A mem
Der OF the Cabinet, in speaking of the result
of the elections yesterday, on the theory that
the Democrats would hold the next House
by reduced majority, said the administra-
tion could not be otherwise than we'll pleas
ed. The unexpected losses which they had
sustained had been due to local causes and
the gains could scarcely be regarded as 9TH
erwise than due TO national issues. In Mas
sachusetts. he said, for instance, the contest
on the part of the Democrats had been most
sharply defined as an Endorsement of the pol
icy of the administration. The Democracy
of Massachusetts had through the whole
campaign announced that they stood by
the administration, and it must be conclud-
ed that the magnificent gains made by them
were the result of the popular verdict in ap-
proval of the public action of President Cleve-
land. 1t may perhaps be worth nothing taat
the Cabinet officer himself did not quite fol-
low the President in this exuberant flight of
fancy.

 For some time past have been visit ing mining camps in Arizona anC wherever I go I find tons of low grade ore on the various dumps, the product ci labor that is almost entirely lost for the wRut of practical, inexpensive wsy of reducing the same to bullion. I also find in all the principal camps, staml mills and smelters, with rCasters, con. centrators and ell kinds of machinery for working ore, lying idle. not becaust there is no ore to work but because the processes are too expensive tO work the ore. l also find many mines worked to 9 certain depth and ihJn patented, be cause as they go down on the lodges the orc becomes base.
