Legislature Republican on
Joint Ballot by Over a
Hundred.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 9.-Unofioial re-
turns from nearly every county in the
state show Governor Nelson's plurality
$4,000 and his majority over both can
didates about 5000. So far as heard
from the vote stands: Nelson, 137, 1923;
Owen, 1851; Becker, 54,l49. Later
and more complete returns are ex-
pected to still further increase the Re-
publican majority.
The congressional districts are solidly
Republican. In the First James A.
Tawney has plurality of over 10000,
but the entire vote shows falling off.
McCleary in the Second has plurality
of about II, 900 and the returns not all
in. In the Third Heatwole pulls through
with about 1850 to spare, while in the
Fourth and Fifth Kiefer and Fletcher
lead by pluralities Of 5000 und 11,0oo
respectively. Towne's plurality in the
Sixth is about 10, 900 and Eddy's in the
Seventh not more than 1900.
In the legislature the Republicans
will have a majority Of over 100 on

GOLD RESERVE GETTING LOW.

New YORK, Nov. 10.-The Press
says: After the close Of business Fri
day it was announced that the govern
ment would ask the bankers for another
loan of $50, 900. Gold bonds for
that amount bearing per cent interest
will be issued within a few days
at q price which will net investors
about per cent annually. Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Curtis has
been in this city for several days and
has had conferences with the presidents
of the national banks and trust compa-
MES. One of these bank presidents
said: ....... .>...,.s ii. .s.... ..rrtE
eyes, there will be an issue Of bonds
shortly-probably within the next week
or two. Secretary Carlisle will call for
investors. President Cleveland and the
secretary have determined that the
gold reserve shall not be further de-
pleted. If the people do not take all
the bonds, as it is probable they will
not, the bankers who foated the last
issue will subscribe. As far as is known
in this city the exact amount Of the is
sue has not yet been determined. The
issue will undoubtedly reach $50, OOO,-
600. It has not yet been decided
whether syndicate will be formed to
take these bonds or not. That will also
depend upon the action Of the authori-
ties in Washington.
