When the sun arose yesterday morn
ing the Democrats were ready to con-
cede everything to the Republicans in
Minneapolis, and in Hennepin county.
But the Judges got to work on the
county ballot, and along toward evening
the returns began to come in. AS soon
as a few precincts showed up the Demo
Gratis began to take heart. They are
feeling better every hour. They have
saved something from the wreck. This,
in presidential year, is good deal of
glory.
Loren Fletcher is elected to congress.
Yesterday afternoon the Republicans
congressional committee admitted that
Fletcher's plurality would fall below
1000. That gave the democrats nope
and they wore cheerful aspect all the
evening. Fletcher will have more than
1000 plurality. but less than 2, 900. III all
probability. Lawrence has given him
a close run and may feel we'll satisfied
with his showing, in county accounted
as sOlidly Republican in presidential
year.
On the county ticket the Democrats
have won something. T. }. Buxton will
be the next treasurer. He has run like
pet dog with a tin can tied to his tail.
He will probably have plurality or at
least 1000 votes He has surprised even
the most Sangu;u.

--latest Figures.
At 2 o'clock this morning com
plete returns on the county ticket
nave been received from 90 dis
tricts out Of 1l9. These returns
were mostly from Republican precincts,
and that fact must be taken into &C
count. These districts gave Loren
Fletcher a plurality OF a niue
over 1000. His ultimate plurality
will be about $500. Buxton, the
leader of the Democratic ticket, had
from the same districts a lead of over
1900, assuring his election. Or the
Democrats, LedgerWoOd comes next:
Late last night Cooley conceded
his opponents election. In the RepuD-
lean precincts he crowded Cooley so
closely that he is undoubtedly elected.
Corrigan is a close second TO Steele for
probate Judge, and his chances
are good. AS the count progresses. the
chances for Byrnes and Egan,
Democrats, improve. COnrOy, Dem
ocrat, for county commissioner on
the East side, claims his cleo
ton. The Republicans have carried
most of the legislative districts.
The Republican committee concede the
election of Heinrlchs In the east half or
the Twenty-ninth, and Jimmy Bidder
man again goes down. In the west halt
Of the Twenty-nnth, all OF the Third
ward west of Second street, the race
between George Blocker and Merriam IS
close, but the advantage is with BECKER
He will be elected almost without
doubt. Comstock and Wyman have
been elected in the Thirteenth.
In the Thlrty-irst AmeS has
chance, but CRUSADER Cairns,
Pray and Emerson Cole seem the Win
ners. i. b. Winston looks like winner
in the Thirty second, but the Republi-
cans will not concede his election.
If Winston wins the defeat
ed man on the Republican
ticket will probably be Carson.
Out in the thirty-third the vote is close.
S. A. StOckwell and A. NJ. Goodrich,
the Democrats, have the advantage.
but Elliott and Wilson, the Republicans,
maintain that they have it. Howard
and Barton have won in the Thirty
fourth.
Eustis Is Winner.
AS before stated, EustIs will be mayor,
and at o'clock this morning, on re-
turns from forty-six scattered precincts,
Eustis had a lead of 5l6, and he will
have plurality of about 1900 or 1000.
Both Haugen for treasurer and Nye
for attorney ran ahead of EUstis, ard
Haugen will have the largest plurality.
The Democrats believe that they
have won the council and with
good reason. The best the
Republicans will get out Of the council
will be tie. Perry Long, the First
ward Democrat, is elected; In the
Second ward Fred Snyder will win. In
the Third Durnom still cllngs to the
idea that he has been elected, but his
chances are slim. Jennings will prob
ably come out with majority. Adams
will of course be elected over Cloutier in
the Fourth, and Harvey over Waboven in
the Fifth. Anderson, the Democrat, has
it in the Sixth. Woodward has been
defeated in the Seventh. Nordeen, the
other Republican. pOlled good-sized
vote, but Gleason's chances look
the better. Grimes was laid out in the
Eighth ward. Miner, the independent.
will have plurality Of 300 Or 400.
jim Bradish claims his election
in the Ninth, but he is not
confident. Little has been heard from
the Tenth ward. 1t looks like Dwyer,
the Democrat, up here. Skoog, the In
dependent, ran Cheney, the Democat. a
c.Ooe race in the Eleventh, Biicktieid
being out of it. Cheney has lead.
Out in the Thirteenth it looks
ike tie with Carrier, Republican, in
the First precinct, and the other pre-
cinct is expected to give him the eiec
ton. The Democrats count on these as
sure: Long, in the First; Anderson, in
the Sixth; Cheney, in the Eleventh;
son, in the Seventh. They fully
expect to get Todd In the Ninth, Jen-
nings in the Third and Dwyer in the
Tenth. The city returns are uncounted
as yet. and it will be noon today before
all accurate view of the city council can
be had.
