Tho Now State Elections.
xtnpmAy.

HELENA, Mont, O:t. 3.-Ths election
10 thls State will not give much Of ma
jority either way, and an official count
may be necessary to determine who the
vlctors are. Joseph Toole, Democratic
candidate for Governor, claims that he Is
elected by 400 majority, and says also
that the Democrats viii have majority
in the Legislature on joint ballot. The
contest for the other State offices 10 very
close-"too close for comfort" 10 the way
they put II at the headquarters OF the
Democratic stte Central Committee.
The count 10 proceeding very slowly.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
Sioux FALLS, &. D., Oct. 3.--Prubibi-
ton 10 carried by nearly 5000 majority.
The Republican State ticket goes
through, with some 10000 votes TO spare,
aud the Legislature is strongly kepubli-
eau.
NORTH DAKOTA.
BISMARCK. N. D., Oct. Slate re-
turns this morning make It appear that
Prohibition has been defeated In North
Dakota ly about 1900 majority. The
PrOhibitionisis still claim the State by
300, but it does not seem probable that
the claim will bo substantiated. The
Democrats made galns over their vote
for Territorial Delegates last year, but
tie Repub icans have elected their State
ticket aud secured u big majority In the
Legis'ature.
REJoIoINo AT WASHINGTON.
wAsHiNoTos, Oct. 3-No Republl-
cans are more rejoiced At the sweeping
victories In the Northwest than Chair
man Quay, Vice Chairman Clarkson and
Treasurer Dudley, of tie National Com
mittee. As early Is July, not desiring
to attract too much attention to the
movement, they cent Henry Q. Payne,
national committeeman from Wisconsin
through the Dakotas, Montana aud
| Washington, 10 look the eituatiOn over,
lie found nut what the local managerl
needed In the way OF assistance and re
turned. II was found <hat the Demo
rats must be fought desperately OF
every hand. Iu Washington abortlve at
tempis were made, as the progress Of th'
light showed, to district v.ters on loca
Issues which had no relation to the mail
question.
In Montana the Democrats solidined
themselves under tho leadership of tn,
Democratic "blg four" and made th'
hettest fight Of tho whole Northwest
That Is where they used most OF thei
mouey, though Calvin y. Brlce wen

once, aud Arthur p. German sent $40 ,0o'
In one lump into South Dakota TO try +
prevert tho will OF the voters, and by tb
same meaus injure the Republican caus
by trading on tie capitol alto question
The farmers In both North aud scut
|, Dakota were "worked" by simila
methods, but were not bimboozled in tn
least.
As many as Q, ,OoO, 900 Republican cam
paign documents were sent into the ter
rltories BY tho National Committee froI
