MNNEArorIs, MINI, October 2.-Ihe
T,.iI,uGs estimate of the result in South
Dakota is as follows: Up TO this hour y A.
NJ not enough details of the vote have
been received 10 state the result of the
SOuth Dakota election in actual hgures.
but dispatches from the principal towns,
including those that We're candidates Tor
choice as the temporary capital, show tAat
the Republicans have made clean sweep
of the State. The majority, rs shown 10y the
vote for Mcllettc for Governor and Picker
and Clifford for Congress, Will be from
10. 900 10 10000. The Republicans Will have
a large majority in the Legislature, thus
insuring the election Of two Republican
United States senators. The Constitution
is carried almost unanimously, and the
minority representation Is SO lar IN tht
minority rs to be almost lost sight Of.
There is hardly doubt but that prOmbl-
ton has been carried, as the clause got
good majority in many Of the Leading
towns. and everywhere It's success Is con-
coded.
PlERRF. South DAKOTA. October2.-South
Dakota's first State election descended o.
a DEGRADING scramble for the capital locn-
ton. There has been no fight on anything
else. Mellette Is elected Governor by over
20 coo majority and Clifford goes 10 Con-
gress. The Republican majority IN the
Legislature will be at least sixty, thus IN
surfing the election IF two Republican
United States senators. The vote was
enormous. probably $4,000, and the trade
and sale of ballots was based On the capt.
tai fight. Reports received up to tins
morning indicated q vote for Pierre OF
26 900 Huron. q 900 Sioux Falls, ll,O0O
Watertown. 10000: Mitchell. 1000; and
Chamberlain. 5000. All ante-elcction talk
of fraud proved 20 be but wind. The cleo
tion WAS very quiet, and 40 far rs reported
no frauds were attempted ana no nights
permitted. Huron has not given up the
hoht. but this morning still claims 10 have
secured the capital. ~ does also Sioux
Falls. Owing To the great interest In the
captal contest but little attention was
given to minority representation, ana IL
was doubtless defeated. The fate OF pro-
hibition hangs IN the balance. On a square
fight il would probably have been carried,
but the votes on this question were reck-
lessly traded on the capital location, and
the vote, whatever it *, viii not fairy re
present the sentiments of the people OF
South Dakota.
FARGO. n. d., OctOber2. 1t was o'clock
this morning before the vote, in the yarl-
ous wards in Fargo were counted. Miller

ernor 10 $50 cast for Roach (Democrat).
The vote on congressman was about the
same. Mcconnell Democrat is apparent
ly elected district judge over Newman
(Rcpu olcanl The Republicans have no
doubt elected their entire legislative tick
cts in various legislative districts of this
county, with the possible exception Of
Brandenburg.
The vote in North Dakota was much
LIGHTER than anticipated. For Governor
John Miller, the Republican candidate, re-
ceived 1000 more votes than w. n. Roache,
the Democratic nominee. All the returns
vet received indicate that the vote for con-
gressman drew ont at least 1000 more
votes. making the majority for II. c. Hans
brough for Congress 1000 or more. There
has not been any doubt to-day as to the
complexion Of the Legislature. There are
twenty Republican, Ave Democratic, and
one Independent-Repub senator. and
forty-two Republican and ten Democratic
representatives.
