The New States Elections Result In
Great Victory for Republican
Principles.

(Republican) reports the Democratic es
r, mated malorlties as being cut down
the count proceeds. II is now reasonab
certain that the entire Republican sta
! ticket is elected. The Republican sta
: committee claims the legislature by fort
, five out OF seventy-iiye members. III
constitution is adopted by large majorit
Democrats concede the election of Ca
ter to congress. Toole Democrat] is 81
ahead of Powers (Republican) for go,
ernor, with four counties claimed by bot
parties still to hear from. The Democrat
have the legislature by 4 small majority
The Republicans elected q majority {
minor state officers. The Independent
claim the election of Toole by 800 to 400
and a majority of nine on joint ballot l.
the legislature. All figures on majortie
are estimated, as the count is not complet
ed in any county.
Milwaukee.-The Evening Wisconsin
received the following:
Helena.-Thomas II. Carter (Repub
lican) elected to congress. Republican
have both branches Of the legislature
signed A.. j. SELIGMAN,
Chairman Republican state central com
rnittee. g
Washington. president receive,
private dispatch from Montana this af
ternoon saying Carter elected to con
gress. Republicans have the Legislature
and the goyernorship is in doubt.
Pierre, s. D.-South Dakota's frs
state election descended to q degrading
scramble for the capital location. There
was no fight on anything else. Picker
and Clifford go to congress. The Repub
lican majority in the legislature will be al
least sixty, insuring the election oftwc
Republican U. S. senators. The vote was
enormous, probably 900. Huron claims
to have secured the capital, as also does
Sioux Falls. Little attention was given tc
minority representation. lt.is doubtless
defeated. The fate OF prohibition hangs
in the balance. On square fight it
would probably have carried, but voters
Oh this question recklessly traded on the
capital.
Minneapolis. returns make it ap-
pear that prohibition has been defeated
in North Dakota by 1900 majority, al
though the prohibiionists still claim the
state by 500. In South Dakota prohibit
ion carried by 5000 to 10000. The state
ticket is Republican by at least 10000.
Chairman Hundley, OF the Democratic
state central committee, admits 10000
Aberdeen, S. D.-The Republican
state central committee estimates this
morning that the Republican state ticket
is elected by 10000 majority, and prohi-
btion is carried by 10000 to 900 major
ity. Pierre has 5000 votes for the tenn
porary capital, with Hurona good second.
Pierre will undoubtedly be the temporary
capital.
Chicago.-H. W. Scott, editor of the
Portland Oregonian, now in Olympia,
Wash, telegraphs as follows, in response
to n request for news of the situation:
The constitution is adopted by $4,000 to
900 majority. The whole Republican
state ticket is elected by 5000 to 10000.
Of 10 members OF the Legislature, in both
more than fifteen. The prohibition and
womans' suffrage clauses OF the constitu-
ton were defeated.
Fago, N. D.-Returns up to Ii o'clock
yesterday at headquarters OF the Republi-
can central committee gave Miller, Re-
publican, majority over Roach for gov
ernor OF 5,172; average Republican major
ity, 1000. Hansbrough's majority for
is 5000. Private returns show
q total majority Of 2 100 against prohibit
ion. Republicans elected ten senators
and eighteen representatives; the Demo-
Gratis two senators and Representatives
Others not vet entirely heard from.
Sixty-eight Republican members OF the
JautStott1rn EnnNvr r., ha alnpfnI n
twenty-six out of thirty-one districts, to
fourteen Democrats. The Republicans
claim a total OF seventy-6ve. Ex-Gov.
Pierce's friends claim seventy-one major
ity for United States senator.
Sioux Falls, S. D.-Sioux Falls comedies
the temporary capital to Pierre. Prohi-
bition carries by at least 5000. Republic
can state ticket elected by 5000.
St. Paul.-The Pioneer Press, Seattle,
W. T., special: Returns from all over the
state indicate that it surely goes Republi-
can by about the same majority as last
year, when Allen carried the state for del
egate to congress by 1000 majority. The
legislature is certainly Republican, prob
ably by twenty. The result in King and
Yittitas counties is yet in doubt. Ii they
go Republican the majority for the party
in the legislature will he betwenty-fve. The
gained in every county ex-
cept these two. The Democrats claim to
have carried King, aud have made heavy
gains in Seattle, but the Republicans are
confident their ticket will pull through all
right. A technical error in the form OF
the Republican ticket in Pierce and King
counties has raised the question OF legal
ty, and the Democrats are making objec-
tions. The error consists in leaving off
the line, against the constitution, which
is, with other special features, directed by
the constitution.
