ST.. PATL, Oct. Thus far scatter
ing returns have only been received
but these Indicate the.elections of the
state tickets in the two Dakotas by the
republicans and the chance of the ma
jority of the legislature in the south
state by that party. In the north the
legislature may be closer. Although
there Is no donbt that the constitution
will be ratified, still there are some
tow ms and counties which are going to
record against it. These are those who
are bitterly opposing the institutions
in the convention as was done in North
Dakota.
LATER RETURNS.
ST.. PAUL, Oct. Later returns re-
ceived by the Pioneer Press indicate the
adoption of the prohibition proposition
in South Dakota and the defeat of the
clause for minority representation,
both of which has been submitted by
the constitutional convention.
From North Dakota the returns in
dictate the election of fourteen repub-
licans to the legislature and two dem
ocrats, other districts not having been
heard from.
A special from Tacoma, w. T., says:
Indications all point to the election of
Terry and the entire republican state
ticket, including Wilson for congress
| by a majority averaging 1900.
The complexion of the legislature re-
main in doubt until the vote is fully
counted as the battle was concentrated
on that field.
The separate articles to the constitu-
ton, embracing the prohibitOry and
woman's suffrage planks are ungues-
tionably defeated. The constitution
is probably adopted.
REPUBLICAN, TICKET ELECTED.
| BISMARCK, Oct 1.-At this hour "A D.
NJ few returns from the state as large
have been received. The probabilities
are that the full republican ticket is
elected and that the constitution has
been adopted.
| VANGoUvER, w. T. Oct. 2.-It is
claimed at the head quarters of the re-
publican state central committee that
the constitution will have 90, 900 major
rity, the republican state ticket eight
to ten thousand majority and the DEM
ocratS VIII not elect more than twenty
members out of los. All places
heard from report an enormous in
crease of the total votes.
NORTH DAKOTA.
BISMARCK, N. D., Oct. 1.-The Off
cial count for the city shows an aver
age majority for the republicans of
1853. Private kilograms from twenty
FIVE legislative districts show the cleo
ton of sixty-seven members of the
legislature favorable to Gilbert A.
Pierce for the United States senate.
Four more are known to be for Pierce
in the same republican counties, giving
| him seventy-One votes sure, out of a
total of ninety-two in both houses.
Eleven county precincts and the city
Of Bismarck give majority of AS
against prohibition. The constitn-
ton carried almost solidly.
FARGO, N. D., Oct. 2.-Throughout
the state the total vote is not so heavy
! as was expected, being only about 81 :
900. The legislature is strongly repub-
lican. The democrats elect senators
in the First, Second, Third, Twelfth.
Sixteenth, Eighteenth, Nineteenth,

enth and Twenty eighth districts.
| with the Twenty-third district In
| doubt. Republicans also get thirty.
six members of the assembly, the dem
ocratS get eighteen, and there are five
districts in doubt. Hansbrough, re
publican, is elected to congress by
: Il, 900 majority. The contest over the
judgeship is extremely close. The
prohibitionists claim to have carried
, the territory. Fargo, Bismarck an6
Grand Forks voted strongly pro-liquor
and unprejudiced calculators believe
prohibition beaten by at least {, 900. The
constitution has been endorsed with
a rousing majority. At the republican
: headquarters the intire state ticket Ii
claimed by from 10, 600 to y, 600, while
