NOT YET DETERMINED.
The Situation in South Dakota BADLY
Mixed.

Mixed.
Complete returns will be required
to determine the result in South Dako-
to. The governor is in doubt, but the
republicans claim the election OF Mel
lette by a small plurality. Pickler and
Gamble are undoubtedly elected as con-
gressmen by fair majorities. The po.
litical complexion Of the next legisla-
ture is as yet unknown, the democrats
and independents having made heavy
inroads upon the republicans. Equal
suff, age is badly defeated, nearly every
county SO far as heard from reporting
majorites against the proposition.
The entire state and county ticket is so
badly scratched that no correct count
or estimate can be yet given, except
that Taylor, dem, for governor, has AZ
majority in Pierre over Mellcttc, and
it is believed that both Palmer and
Pratt, de,ns., are elected to the legisla-
ture.
The Stanley county ticket is also
badly mixed, the democratic legislative
ticket being elected, but the republic.
an state ticket has a small majority.
Pierres board Of trade is in close
communication with every county east
Of the river and in answer to many in
quiries from friends outside as as to
Pierre's majority they answer that they
are safe at 10000.
HuEoN, Nov. 5.-Returns from eight
cen counties gives 1000 plurality for
Loucks, independent, over Mellette,
republican and Taylor, democratic. for
governor. The independent managers
here declare I.ouch S election is certain.
The independents also elect ninetY-two
members Of the legislature.
yrNalllloN, Nov. 5.-Thc count Of
the city vote was finished this evening
at 6 O'Clock. The final result in the
county shows everything just abous as
predicted last evening. Pickler and
Gamble are elected by about $50 above
the independent candidates and about
500 above the democratic.
MITCHELL, Nov. 5.-Mellette and the
rest of the state ticket carry the coun-
ty by from s5 to 100 majority. On
state senator, Preston, Rep, has ma
jority of 46 over Pease, Ind. The vote
on representative is very close. Ray
mond, Rep, selected by about 80 ma
jority, and it looks as though John X.
johnson, Ind, was elected over Wat.
son, Rep, by 6 majority.
MADISON, Nov. 5-Lake county, with
one small precinct to bear from, gives
Mellette, 64i; Taylor, 424 ;Loucks, GIG.
The state and congressionaltickets are
republican by small plurality. The
republicans elect state senator and
two of three representatives. The in
dependents elect one representative
and all Of the county ticket except
register Of deeds and attorney.
ARMOUR, Nov. 5.-The county has
undoubtedly given the state and con-
gressional tickets small but safe re-
publican majority. The democrats
and independents fused on state SEN
ator and have undoubtedly elected
their man. The legislative ticket is a
stand off-one republican and one
democrat. Pierre will have $50 ma
jority in the county.
DEApwoop:-Pierre's majority in
Lawrence is between 900 and 1000
and in the Black Hills counties about
5000. Pennington county was
practically for Pierre. On the woman
suffrage question there IS a majority
against the amendment Of 342, with
about fifteen precincts to hear from.
Lawrence county gives a republican
majority of between 2OO and 800 on
the state ticket, and the republicans
have also captured tho Legislative
ticket by a small majority. McDon.
aid, ind, is probably elected sheriff
over Remer, rep; and Plowman ind,
over Burns, rep, for county Judge
both majorities, however, beng very
slight, and the additional precincts
yet to be heard from may change it
The balance of the republican county
ticket is elected by good majorities
ranging from 200 1000, with the ex.
ception of the Office of superintendent,
of schools, Miss Sue j. Neill, the indie.
pendent candidate being electedby q
large majority.
