BUTTE, May IA 4-lSpecial to the Inde.
pendent l-Retufns are coming in slowly.
but enough is known already 10 cause the
republicans to take their whisky sour.
The Butte districts. y, %. "a and 25. have
all gone democratic. The main contest
was in the 18th district, where W. w.
Dixon and w. A. Clark were pitted against
Gen. Chas. 5 Warren and Thompson
Campbell. Messrs. Dixon and Clark are
elected and Gen. Warren is the minority
candidate His majority over Mr.. Camp
bell was only ten votes. In the 23d district
Z. ID. Aiken and T. +. Curtney. democrats
are elected and t. Z. Sargent is the
republican minority candidate, George
Haldorn being defeated.
In the twenty-third district Leopold

NJ. Borquin being defeated. In the twenty

democrat The precinct of MelrOse was
attached TO this district, and the result
cannot be aScertained before morning. The
day was rainy and the vote unusually light
The majority cannot be as yet ascertained
on account of the outlying precinct
GREAT FALLS, May IA Special to the
Independent I've met the enemy and
they are ours in good shape. They had
their most popular candidate in the field,
but he did not receive as many votes as
either OF our men. Gibson and Collins lead
the ticket, Ii is a glorious victory and an
assurance that Cascade will be democratic
henceforth.
The fourth, or Cascade delegate
district, has gone democratic by
ton of Paris Gibson and r. +. Collins,
with Chas. W. Webster as the minority re-
publican candidate. Our precincts, name
ly, Great Falls, Sand COulee, Cascade aud
the Smelter, gave the following total; Paris
Gibson. democrat, 553: II. + Collins, demO-
crat, 543; Webster, republican, 45l; Mckay,
republican, 24S. These figures show that
Gibson has plurality of l02 over the most
popular of the republican candidates. Many
small precincts are 20 be heard
from, but they will undoubtedly swell the
democratic majority, as Gibson and Collins
are popular in all of them. In one of these
precincts, called The Lakes. solid demo
cratic vote of twenty has been cast for the
democratic candidates. The result amszes
the republicans and indicates that the tidal
wave which swept the republicans from
power in Butte and Anaconda is still en-
gulfing them. Last November Carter car
days victory insures that 1t will be sOlidly
democratic and will stand like a stone wall
in the coming state election. Dan Mckay
succeeded III. W. Child on the republican
ticket
LIVINGSTON, May I4-[SpeciaI TO the
Independent THE election here today
has been unusually quiet, compared with
other elections, at this place, principally
on account of the lack of interest taken BY
the voters OF both parties and the inclem-
ency of the weather, there being a driz-
zling rain all day. A great number of
voters did not go to the polls at all conse-
quently the vote was very light The total
vote poled was 391. compared with 746 at
the last general election, The result of
the vote for delegates to the constitutional
was: A. r Joy, republican,
22I; Col Geo. o. Eaton, republican, 2I5;
w. T. Field, democrat, lS4; Il. +. Myers,
1873.

PHILIPsBURG, May ii Special 10 the
lit is hard To determine TO

IS constitutional delegates, but 1t is almost
certain that Brazelton, democrat and Reek,
republican. are elected. The fight now
ests between DuTfee, democrat, and
