Brookings register. (Brookings, S.D.) 1890-1894, 1890-11-07
AN "OFFw YEAR.
And the Republicans are Seemingly Bad
ly "Of."
Election Returns Coming I'm Slowly but
Sure.
BROOKINGs COUNTY.

Though the Republicans had for
some days previous to election ZEAL
lied that in all probability the county
ticket would be defeated yet the re-
suit surprised everybody because it
was supposed that that the Republi-
can Independents would stand by the
state republican ticket at least. The
REGIsTER's warning proved true AID
not only the county ticket suffered,
but the state ticket came very near
being "snowned under" as well. We
can only claim a meagre majority for
the Republican state ticket in this
county at present and the remaining
precincts to be heard from will no
doubt cut the majority down so that
only q small plur allty will remain.
Philo Hall, Andrew Allison and Ole
Haasarud ran a little ahead OF the
remainder OF the candidates on the
county Republican ticket. The dem.
ocrats elect tour OF the county officers.
Equal suffrage is way behind. The
amendment to increase the states in
debJedness was voted down.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
Late telegrams received last evening
indicate that the next legislature will
be controlled by the democrats and
independents. 1t will require the
official count to drcide who the state
officers are. Pierre Is in all probability
chosen as the permanent seat OF gov
ernment by good majority. The
three amendments, including equal
suffrage were voted down.
MINNESOTA.
There Is little nope for the Republi-
cans of this state. The latest reports
indicate a democratic victory. Mer-
riam, Republican candidate tor gov
ernor is no doubt defeated and tele-
grams state that Dunnell, republican
candidate for congress, is laid on the
shelf. Three or four congressional
districts 90 democratic without a
doubt.
CALIFORNIA.
The returns from over the state
come in slowly owing to the new sys.
tenn of voting which has eensSsds to
delay the counting. The fight was be-
tween the Republicans and democrats.
There is little falling off of the republi.
can majority for Harrison in 1883.
which will elect Markham (rep.) by q
safe majority.
PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATIC.
1t is now conceded that Pattison
the democratic candidate for gov
ernor is elected by 5000 ma jorlty.
The democrats have certainly gained
two congressman and the contest was
so close in three other districts that
1t will require an official count to de-
eide the result.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
--latest returns Indicate that there
will he no choice between the three
candidates for governor and that the
legislature will have to elect that
official. The Republicans have net
loss of 800.
WISCONSIN.
The state goes democratic and the
"little school house is buried beneath
the general debris. Peck and his "bad
boy will control the forces and there
Is a HoaId to to say ''go it,"
NEVADA REPUBLICAN.
The Indications are that Calcord,
the Republican candidate TOR governor
is elected and that Bartim, the Repub.
lican candidate for congress-, has car.
ried the state by 1000.
CONNECTICUT.
There is little doubt but that the
democratic candidate tor governor
will have a plurality over the Repub.
lican and prohibition candidates.
MONTANA.
Returns show democratic gains from
every quarter. The Republicans are
still hopeful of carrying the state in
favor OF Carter for governor.
KANSAS.
Late reports state that the entire
Republican state ticket is electeI, but
that the democrats have elected two
congressman,
WASHINGTON.
Both branches OF the legislature will
be Republican. Wilson, (rep.) con-
eress man, is elected bv about 5000
majority.

cratic congress and four Republican.
