IdJ1lC1l0i ASf&tob tA iAO
election in Michigan from the fact that
for the first time presidential electors
were chosen there by districts instead of
by the vote of the entire state. The
electors at large We're selected by dis
tricts formed by splitting the state into
east and west halves, and the remaining
electors by congressional districts. This
plan was the outcome of the Democratic
and Patrons of Industry landslide two
years ago, By which the combined forces
gave the Michigan Republicans their
first complete defeat in a generation.
For the first time the Australian ballot
system WAS used. Returns are not yetin.
The Republicans claim ten of the
fourteen electoral votes. The Demo-
Gratis claim seven of the electors.
MINNESOTA.
Owing to the strength of the Farmers
Alliance and the success of the Peoples
party in the state, Minnesota this year
was one of the fighting grounds of the
presidential campaign. This was more
SO because the Democratic leaders in
dorsed four electors of the Peoples
party. All three parties fought for tn.
seven congressional districts. The
weather all over the state was clear but
very cool. So far as reported the vote
cast was the fullest ever known.
The election of Nelson, Republican,
for governor is claimed. Cieveland's
gains have been very large. 1t is i'm
possible to say how the state has gone.
Indications ara that Harrison will get
the electoral vote.
MISSISSIPPI.
The Second congressional district,
conceded to be the only close district in
the state, has gone for H-rdmorey,
Democrat, by 1000 majority over Frank
Burkitt, Peoples party candidate. The
result insures u solid delegation in cor-
gress and the state for Cleveland by at
least so, GEO majority.
MISSOURI.
Meager dispatches from all parts of
the state to the st. Louis Republic in
dictate net Democratic gains of 25 per
cent. over 1883. This will give the state
TO Cleveland by from 80, 900 to 80, 900,
and to Stone Democrat) for governor by
1000.
The Democrats elect fourteen out of
fifteen congressman, and will have forty
majority i'll the legislature.
MONTANA.
The weather was fine and the vote
neavy. Count is coming in slow. The
indications are that Harrison carried
the state by u small plurality. Richards
Tor governor, Rotkin for lieutenant-gov-
ernor and Rotwitt for secretary of state
on the Republican ticket are elected.
The rest of the ticket is divided between
the Republicans and Democrats. The
Peoples Party claims the attorney gen.
eral, Miss Ella Knowles. There was
considerable trading on account of the
contest for the state capitol. Helena
and Butte lead in the capital contest.
NEBRASKA.
A much heavier vote was cast in
Nebraska than was anticipated by the
campaign managers of all parties. Fully
three-quarters of the Democratic vote
was thrown to the Weaver electors, SO
the direct vote for Harrison cuts very
little figure. The returns are coming in
very slowly. The figures largely indi-
cate the success of the Weaver electors.
Bryan is elected to congress in the First
district.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Returns will be very much later than
in former years owing to the secret bal
lot, which went into operation. The
indications are that the state was car
ried by Harrison by about 1000, that
there is no choice for governor by the
people, that Stone and Parker, both
Democrats, are elected to congress, and
that the legislature is Republican in
both branches.
NEW JERSEY.
Throughout the state the poll of votes
was heavy and the amount of scratch
ing was unprecedented. The voters
OF both parties as a rule voted the head
of their ticket straight, but for governor
and other candidates the vote was mixed
and is very confusing. The Reading
combine bill was an important factor in
the election. In different sections local
influences counted for more than party
fealty. There were few incidents of an
untoward nature during the day. Cleve-
lands plurality is estimated at about
5000.
