! HELENA, Mon. October 2.-It is still
| impossible to determine definitely the re-
suit OF yesterdays election in Montana.
| Both committees are claiming the State
hut the general indications would seem
TO favor the Democratic claims. Cover
nor Hauser and other prominent Demo-
Gratis say they are sure of the success OF
their candidates for Governor and Con
gress, and that they will also have a
majority of the Legislature. The chair
man of the Republican committee says
that the Republicans will control both
branches Of the Legislature, and that Car
ter is elected to Congress.
Returns are coming in very slow and
the figures are so close that majorities
will not he much either way. The Demo
Gratis claim the State by from 5000 to
5000; Republicans by from 6.OO0to TO-
900. As rule the Democratic Legisla-
tive ticket is running ahead and ma
joritv is claimed by both parties. In
Lewis and Clarke counties the Demo
Gratis made large gains, but in some
others the gains have not been up to
their expectations. The Republicans
lost in Republican counties but make
gains in Democratic strOngholds.

L. J. Goodkind, wholesale liquor
dealer at Bismarck. devoted special at
tcntion to the returns on the prohibition
question, and has heard from every
county, the returns showing total ma
iority of 200 against Prohibition i'll
the State.
The Republicans have elected ten sell
atOrS and eighteen representatives; and
the Democrats two senator's and six rep
resentatIves, Others not being yet en-
trely heard from.
The Evening Journal has staff repre-
Scntive at Aberdeen, S. d., to collect and
summarize the returns Of yesterday S
election in that State, and at 1870
O'Clock this morning he telcgraphs as
follows:
chairman {. +. Mccoy, Of the State
Republican State Central Committee,
estimates this morning, that the Republi-
can State ticket is elected by about 20
900 majority; that Prohibition carried
by from 10000 to $4,000 majority
that Pierre has 25,O0O votes for tempo
rarv capital, with Huron, Il good second,
and Sioux Falls third, with Watertowil
and Mitchell fighting for the fourth place
Pierre will undoubtedly be the temporary
capital. The large vote cast for Pierre
surprised everybody. Even Minnehaha
county, of which Sioux Falls is the
county seat, poled large Pierre vote.
This county Boom will show Pro-
hihition majority of about 1000, with
a Republican majority of 300. The
straight Republican ticket is elected i'll
Davidson county, and Prohibition car
lied by | 900 majority. Faulk county
went heavily for Pierre. McCook county,
which is usually Democratic, elects a
full Republican ticket.
PIERRE. S. D., October 2.-Thc South
Dakota first State election descended to
degrading scramble for capital loca-
ton. There has been no fight on any
thing else. Mellettc is elected governor
by over 2O,OOOm jority, and Gittard goes
, to congress. The Republican majority i'll
the legislature will be at least sixty, i'll
surfing the election of two Republican
United States senators. The vote was
enormous, probably 10000, and the
trade and sale OF ballots is based on the
, capital fight.
+ For the capital Pierre, Huron, Water
town, Chamberlain, SIOUX Falls and
, Mitchell were entered, Reports received

and, so far as reported, no frauds were
attempted and no fights permitted.
