PROHIBITION DEFEATED.
Bsmarcla y. D., Oct. / (SpeciaD.-Thc day has
been fair, and in all probability full vote has
been polled at the first State election in North
Dakota The returns thus far received indicate
that the entire Republican ticket has been elected
altbourh the Democratic Central Committee claim
that the result in the Congressional fight is still
in doubt This claim is not well founded. as the
returns from numerous counties show increased
Republican maioIities and indicate a Republican
victory by between 5000 and 10, 700 majority.
The three Associate Judges of the Supreme Court
have still larger majority, as the Democrats
had only two candidates IN the held ana
made no fight this point. Returns
on the Legislature meagre, but the figures
thus far received satisfy the Republicans that
they have elected large majority, and that
the Democrats will not have more dian twenty
mem bers out of the ninety-two. 1t Is clean
sweep for the Republicans, unless returns from
the northeastern counties, which are looked upon
as Democratic stronghOlds shall change the tide.
These counties have not been heard from at this
hour uO:2O p. M. The RepiblcanS have a
majority of 5000 from counties thus far heard
from.

feated there. The majority against Prohibition is
not large but it sufficient to settle the question
in the State The Constitution is adopted by
rousng vote and North Dakota is now ready to
step into the Union with a. Republican in every
Office. Republic are celebrating all the
State.
