WAsblNGION.
TACOMA, Washington, Oct. 2.--Itis t9o
early to predict the result throughout the
State, but enough is known to warrant
assertion that the Republican majority
will be as large as anticipated by the Re-
publican State Central Committee.
The vote In this and adjacent counties
is very badly..mixed, particularly in the
legislature tickets. The Republican ma
jority In the Legislature,will probably not
be ever fifteen. The Democrats admit
the defeat OF Ssmpla for Governor, but
claim three OF the Supreme Court Judges
and the Legislature By majority OF five.
The returns are too meagre for any accu-
rate report. The constitution will be
ratified, but by smaller majority than
expected.
The capital question must be voted for
at another election. The Prohibition and
w oms.i Suffrage planks Of the Constitu-
ton are completely snowfd under.
NORTH DAKOTA.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct I'm the Da-
koia elections 1t was evident last night
that both the North and South States had
given decisive majority for the Repub-
loan tickets. The returns received to-day
simply make more certain what then APP
peared to be the case, and give better
idea as to the SIZE OF the majorities. 1t
seems that while North Dakota last No
vember gave 1000 majority for the Re-
publican candidate Tor delegate to Con-
gress the new State will not be able to
give q greater majority for the same party
this year. In other words the vote OF
North Dakota Ia much lighter than antici-
pated, and the reason as iigned Is that
many harvesting gangs refused to take
the time from threshing 10 attend 10 their
voting.
For Governor, John Miller, the Repub.
lican candidate, received 5000 more votes
than W. N. Roache, the Democratic
nominee. All returns Jet received indi
! cate that tho vote for Congressman drow
out at least 1000 more votes, making thu
majority for II. G. Hinsbrough for Con
greks 1000 or more.
There has not been any doubt to-da,
as TO the complexion Of the Legislature
the only point TO be settled being th'
, proportion of the parties. Returns suifi
eient to indicate the result have been re
ceived from 20 of the 81 Legislative dis
tricts in the State. There are 20 Rcpub
lican, five Democratic aud one Inde
pendent Republican Senators, and A.
Republican and 10 Democratic Represen
tativ,s.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
Sioux FALLS, s. D., Oct 2.-The Re
, publicans have carried the State by abou
1000 majority. Prohibition has bee
1 carr ed by a small majority, and, judgin
from present returns, Pierre, with abou
1 20, 900 votes, will be temporary Sat
! capital. The Republicans have q bi
, majority in the Legislature. The m
: nority representation clause of the Con
4 stitution has been rejected.
Il MONTANA.
: HELENA, Mont, Oct. 2.-Returns or
: coming in very slow, and the figures ar
!, 60 close that the maiorities will not b
much either way. The Democrats clair
{ the State by 800 10 800, and the Republi
. cans by 600 to 10 Q. As rule ii:
9 Democratic Legislative ticket Is runnin
y ahead, and a majority acclaimed by bot
y parties. In Lewis aud Clark county tn
Democrats made large gains, but in som
others the gains have not been up
/, their expectations. The Republicans lo'
: IN Republican counties, but make gaiI
In the Democratic strongbolds.
