Wilson and Winston Certain
of Very Large MAORI
ties.
The County Tickets Will Be
SlaShed and Cut on Both
Sides,
But the Democrats Will Win
on Their Fine City
Ticket.

To-day will settle it. The long and
Well-fought campaign is over, and il the
Democrats of Minneapolis do not reap
glorious victory at the polls to-day
the GLOBE is 10 judge of the temper OF
the people. The outlook is that the
Flour City will roll up handsome ma
iority for Eugene nj. Wilson for gov
ernor, p. B. Winston for mayor and for
the leading men on the county and city
tickets. There is small doubt that
Cleveland will carry the city, but the
majority for the electoral ticket will be
considerably below that received by
Wilson and Winston. These popular
candidates will outstrip their respective
tickets and will sweep the city, and the
wave of prestige will carry the balance
of the ticket along with it. The chair
men Of the several committees have
made their predictions, personally based
upon reports they have received from
their workers. The GLOBE has care
fully gone over the field and gathered
up the opinions of competent judges
and presents the following as the pro-
bable outcome:
E. NJ. Wilson will lead the state
ticket and will lead it largely. His
popularity, ability and eminent fitness
for the Office of chief executive of the
state will win him votes in every direc-
ton. Besides his own party vote, he
will receive the support of hundreds of
personal friends among the Republicans
and hundreds more of the same party,
No nd
riam under any circumstances.
The German vote will be a
unit for him and he will
receive the suffrage of many Scandi
navians who will cast their first Demo
cratic vote. This, with the certainty
that Hugh Harrison will receive a
heavy vote, upwards of 1000 at least,
promises for Wilson large majority IN
his home county. 1t will be not less
than 5000, and may run nearer 5000.
The former figure would be conserya-
tive estimate.
The congressional contest has been
One-sided in Minneapolis, as Snider has
spent time and money increasingly and
Rice has done neither. Still, Rice will
poll the Democratic strength largely.
and will receive a large conservative
vote. Many men are afraid of sending
in Snider, representative who might
be lost in the congressional shuttle.
Snider's friends are claiming 5000 ma
jority. but if he gets one-fourth OF that
When it comes to the city ticket, the
Democrats have comparatively plain
sailing on the three principal Offices.
Phil 3. Winston seems reasonably sure
of good majority, but it would be bad
policy for the Democrats to make any
trade through Over-contidence. E. c.
Babb will lose in business sections, and
will be cut heavily in labor circles.
His own friends concede he
will run largely behind, while
acute Republicans everywhere be-
lieve he is ilretrieyably beaten. The
journal and Tribune, in their own Of
fees, acknowledge his defeat. The
GLOBE estimates Winston's plurality
at not less than 1000. F. G. Holbrook
will succeed himself as comptroller, as
he should. He will poll every Demo
cratic vote. and will receive much as
sistance from the business Republican
vote. L. j. Buxton, for city treasurer,
has strong opponent in MoultOn, and
will have tight race. Moulton has
left no stone unturned, but Buxton
bids fair to reach the goal first.
IL
prestige. There will be great cutting
and slashing on the municipal Judge on
both sides. Judge Bailey's friends have
it in for Emery, the Republican candi-
date, but John S. Byrnes has made
enemies in his own party. who have
wbetted knife for him. The outcome
is doubtful, but ByrneS has the adj
vantage of the heavy tide for the heads
of the ticket, and will probably pull
through. For special judge there is
nationality fight that will cut both
ways. The Republicans nominated
Mahony, the Democratic incumbent,
and he will receive many Irish votes.
This has stirred up the Scandinavians,
who will rally for Judge Rand, the
Democratic nominee, so that matters
will be evened up, with chances of cleo
ton naturally favOring the Democratic
nominee.
The council is very mooted question.
There are so many independent candi-
dates of all political shades that the out
surprising if neither party elected
majority of the council on regular
tickets, and the Independents held the
balance of power. The GLOBE believes,
after careful survey Of the field, that
the Democrats will elect twenty-one
and possibly twenty-five of the thirty
nine aldermen, making a gain of two
from an unexpected quarter, not to be
mentioned now.
On the county ticket there will be
more scratching than has ever been
witnessed, and while the result is doubt
full, there is a strong probability that
the Democrats will win on majority
of the offices. The Republicans natur-
ally concede the election OF Swanson
for sheriff and are chary of claiming the
election of Peterson for register of
deeds, as Eustis will receive
the solid Grand Army vote.
No prediction on the rest would be of
value, as it is absolutely impossible to
get at the amount of cutting and trad
ing. Penney for attorney is looming up
strong, and it is known the Republicans
are cutting Jameson somewhat, but that
is all. 1t is reasonably certain the Dem
ocrats will carry all three county COM
missionerS.
The city boards will be cut and
pasted terribly on both sides, and a
mixed ticket Will certainly be elected.
1t looks as though the Democratic legis-
lative ticket in the Thirtieth district
would go through with a hurrah, while
the same party will carry through
portion of its ticket in the Twenty
ninth.
