were so various, and many OF them
so important both at large and local
ly, that it worked against the general
tickets of either party in what was
considered their strcng~hoids. And
then again the independents had made
such an aggressive fight that the older
parties were taken almost by storm
in some localities, so that it is inn
possible to give reliable estimate.
The indications, however, at the
hour OF going to press with this side OF
our paper Wednesday morning) are
that the state is very close, the plu-
rality seeming to be In favor Of the re-
publicans. The capital question is
just as doubtful as the vote on state
officers so that full returns may change
it one way or the other. The woman
suffrage amendment appears to be
lost.
| NEW YORK.
Indications up to the hour OF going
to press with this side of our paper
are to the effect that New York has
gone democratic. Quite number OF
republican members of congress have
been elected, but the majority are OPP
position. In this state as in all others
many districts are yet in doubt, and
returns may change the results in
| same instances,
MINNESOTA.
The returns are as yet fragmentary,
but it is certain that il therepublicans
elect their governor it will be by de-
creased majority. The vote in st.
Paul was very light. The alliance vote
throughout the state was not nearly
as large as its friends anticipated.
Minneapolis, republican city, cut the
republican nominee Tor governor to
such an extent as to leave his election
by O. very materially reduced MAORI.
ty, with possible defeat. Up to the
time of going to press with this side of
our paper there are no congressional
returns that can be relied upon.
MONTANA.
Probably the greatest effort ever
put forth by the democracy OF Mon
tana was that of Tuesday for the cleo
ton of Dixon for congress, and supre-
macy in the state senate. Chairman
Daily, OF the democratic committee,
claims large vote for Dixon in Deer
Lodge and Silver Bow counties. Ex-
| Gov. White, chairman OF the republi-
can committee, at close of polls, ex-
pressed confidence in election OF Car
ter, and majority of republican state
senators, based on advices from Butte,
Missoula and other prominent parts
west of the range in Dixon's part OF
the state. Indications, at the time OF
going to press with this side of the pa
per point to republican majorities
east of the divide and confidence ex-
pressed in party circles OF Carter's
success in the state.
OHIO.
Ex-Governor Foster was undoubt-
edly elected to Congress. Returns
| from nearly every section OF the state
| Indicate republican victory by 81
| 600 to 10000 majority. At the hour
of going to press the returns Indicate
that Mckinley has been returned to
Congress by an increased majority.
MASSACHUSETTS.
The state has gone republican by
decreased plurality. The democrats
claim a gain oftwo congressman. The
party fight was bitter and waged more
hercely than ever before. The vote
throughout the state was not as large
as anticipated.
| SOUTH CAROLINA.
Tillman and his entire state ticket
appears to have carried the state.
All of the democratic congressman,
with possible uncertainty in regard to
one in the seventh districts are elected.
PENNSYLVANIA.
The republicans have carried Penn
sylvania by about 10000 plurality.
The election was quiet and orderly
| throughout the state. The returns
are slow comming in, and viii not be
complete for several days.
WISCONSIN.
The indications are that the repub-
licans have carried the state by an in
creased republican majority. The
democrats made large gains in La
Crosse. Like most of the other states
the ticket was large and the count
slow, so that up to the hour OF going
4. al
definite figures can be given.
KANSAS.
Nearly full returns from jackson
county have been received. They show
majority for the democratic ticket.
j. j. Tarsney, democrat, ran ahead OF
the ticket. Advices fromother points
in the district indicate the election or
Tarsney over Twitchell, republican.
GEORGIA.
The indications are that FELTON,, in-
dependent democrat, carries the 7th.
Haytt, republican the 9th districts.
Returns from fourteen voting pre-
cincts in the state show democratic
gain over 1888 of 445.
NORTH DAKOTA.
The returns from North Dakota up
to the hour Of going to the press with
this side of our paper are very meagre
indeed. 1t is impossible to form any
thing ike a reliable estimate. But
