Republicans may gain two there, GER
tainly one. One Alliance man and one
Republican represented Mower county
In 1891, and as the county is divided
into two districts the political division
will very likely remain unchanged. The
Fourth, Freeborn, the Fifth, Faribault,
and the Sixth, Martin and Watonwan,
elected four Republicans in 1890 and no
Democrats or Alliance men. They can
do no more, ane the chances are that
there will in these districts be an OPP
position member or two chosen this
year.
The seventh District,
composed OF Mobiles, Murray, Rock and
Pipestone counties, elected two Repub-
licans two years ago, and bnt one ALI
ance man. This year the Alliance will
secure all three, beyond doubt. The
Eighth district, jackson and Cotton
wood counties, and the Ninth, Brown,
will go much as they did in 1890, the
only difference being that instead of
both being Alliance men, one, the
Brown county member, will be Demo
crat. The Republicans carried Red
wood two years ago and will
very likely do so this year.
Blue Earth county elected three
Alliance. Democrats two years ago and
will do the same thing this year. The
Eleventh district, Waseca county, is
always close, but Representative Helms
made worthy preventative, and the
people may send him back. Steele
elected Gen. "Jim" Diment by 120 in
1890. and the Republicans will have all
they can do to hold this seat. Dodge
county elected Green, Alliance and
Democrat, by thirty-four, and the Re-
publicans are hopeful of securing this
seat
Olmsted county chose two Alliance
Democrats and will do the same thing
this year. Winona elected three Demo
Gratis and one Republican,. and if there is
The following counties elected only
Alliance men:
Lyon, Lincoln, Yellow Medicine, Rem
vile, Lac Qui Parle, Swift. Chippewa,
Pope, Douglas. Otter Tail, Wilkin,
Becker, Clay, Polk, Beltrami, Norman,
Marshall and Kittson. These counties
elected eighteen members two years
ago, and not even the most enthusiastic
Republican will claim that his party
will be able to secure single meh her
in the list.
The Forty-ninth district, Big Stone,
Grant. Stevens and Traverse, elected two

As these two counties are divided on
those lines. there will be no change.

as it is in all probability. Washington
sent over three Republicans. The Dem
Dcrats should gain at least one seat this
year, with good chance of securing
two Democrats, and should do the same
thing this fall.
Ramsey county was represented in
1891 by five Democrats and five Repub-
leans. 1t may he set down as certain
hat there will be no Republican gain
lere. The Democrats will carry the
Third, Fourth, Fifth. Sixth. Eighth and
Ninth wards in all probability. There
will be no Citizens ticket in

Paul as there was two years
lgo. In Llennepin county the Repub-
leans expect to gam very largely, but,
Is there are but fifteen members to
'lect, and two of the districts are admit

hardly be expected to be over six or
seven. The Republicans had Just one

Democrats may lose in the Forty-sixth
md in the Thirty-eIghth, but they will
rain one in StearnS. Summarizing the
gains and losses, it will be
ound that at the very best the Republ-
,ans cannot hope to gain more than a
lOZen to fifteen members.
No wonder Senator Davis is growing
decidedly nervous.
