section this evening that has been witness
ed for several years. Lightning flashed
and the thunders were almost incessant,
while the rain seemed to fall in great
sheets. accompanied by hailstones, which
fell with such force as to go through near
ly ali exposed windows. The wind blew
with unusual 6erceness and several houses
were unroofod and trees were blown down.
1t is apprehended that the fruit and grain
crops along the track of the storm, which
moved from northwest to southeast, were
greatly injured, if not altogether de-
Etroved.

BALTIMORE. ND, Nov 9. Every elective

careless nominetion and lethargy. Al
though Gov. Butler had antagoniEed and
aHgered the better element Of the state and
was opposed by all Of the forces his oppon-
ents could command, be was beaten BY less
that 10000 plurality.
RUssELLs MAGNIFICENT CHANCE.
This year history is repeating itself, save
that national issues aye been made 20 pIay
an important part in the contest. and Gov.
Russell, instead Of antIgonizing ANYBODY,
hes made very satisfactory admin
istratlon, aud is 50 universally
liked that his name has been
frequently applauded at republican rallies.
The republicans depend for success entirely
upon their ability TO get out the reserve
vote In the country districts and to reduce
1ov. Russells majority, which
was 3,34S last year. some 5000 greater
than in 1889, when the liquor vote is
supposed to have gone republican. The
campaign efforts Of the democrats have
leen confined almost entirely to the last
three weeks. They have concentrated their
Efforts on the centers OF population most
likely to swell their vote.
GOV. RUssELL's TACTICS.
Gov. Russell has pursued to q consider
able extent his tactics Of last year, chal-
lenging his opponent to commit himself on
various questions Of state politics, then at
tacking his position and finally exhibiting
the effects ofa high tariff on local indus
tries. The interest manifested through
out the state and the registration
indicate that the total vote will ap-
proach, il not exceed, 300,0 The
democrats are Confident that Gov. Russell
Will be reelected, and have some hope
for the rest Of their state ticket. The re-
Publicans, on the other hand, have no doubt
at all Of the election of all their candidates
save govern9r, and expect plurality Of at
least 10000 for Allen. Betting as between
Allen and Russell is about even, and
in view of the latter's great popularity,
general satisfaction with his administration,
the steady natural growth OF the Demo-
cratic party in the state and the equally
steady drift in favor Of lower tariffs, the
chances seem to be about even. The rspub.
loans will retain their majority in the
House and will probably secure q small ma
jority in the Senate
