Portland. Or, June 1.-(2:3O
from throughout the state are coming

is certain except that r. 5. Bean, the re-
nulican. has been elected supreme judge
and Thomas II. Tongue, repuplcdh' ~
congress from the First district. III tue
Second congressional district the
look is that w. II. Ellis, republican, mas
been elected, but Quinn, popullst, mas
fighting chance left. II. RI. NofIhup'
the sound money candidate in THIS dis
trfct Dolled a lighter vote than was 'A
pccted outside Of Multnomah county, ana
is undoubtedly defeated.
The next legislatures complexion JUS
now is too nuuuy 10 determine whether
it win be republican or cohtroiIeu ny 1ne
democrats and populists. rough est
mate is that the republicans Will prop
ably be in the minority.
In the last house the democrats were
not represented, ana the popuhsis h3d
only four members out of GO
It is conceded by the democrats ana
populists that Bean for supreme Judge
will have at least 5000 ,,.ura .t..
Tongue for congress IN the FIRST dis
trict is undoubtedly elected IN the See
ond district the vote for congressman Is
close and complete returns will be re
quired to decide the contest.
Indications are that ex-governor Pen
mover has been elected mayor of this city
The indications at midnight were that
Pennoyer, the pOpulist-democrat-t
ers' candidate for mayor, had been elect
ed. 1t is believed that Sears, Mitchell re
publican, has carried the county for sher-
if, and that Northup, the Independent re
publican candidate for congress, who :
called the sound money candidate, had
carried the county. Results iii 9th n
counties are difficult To obtain, as the
tickets are long ones and the count Is not
completed.
The weather today throughout the
state was fine An unusually heavy wore
vas pOllcd. Interest CcnteTed in the cleo
don of a congressman in the Second dis
trict where II. 3. Northrup, republican,
was running as independent candidate on
a gold standard platform. The regular
republican, democratic and populist nom
inees are adherentS of the free coinage Of
silver. In this city bitter feeling was
engendered by a split in the republican
party. Several fights occurred. Several
score of special police and deputy sheriffs
were sworn in, the police being arrayed
on the side of the Mitchell-republican
ticket while the deputy Sheriffs were
working in the interest of the regular
republican ticket.
Although the campaign has been of less
than two months duration, all three OF
the political parties nave made an earnest
contest. Chief interest centers in the
choice of a legislature, which will elect a
successor to Senator Mitchell. In 1894
Governor Lord carried the state by a plu-
rality of 1901, but the democrats and
the pOpulsts together poIled 43, 81 against
II 344 for Lord; so that in reality he was
a minority governor. The same condi-
tons prevailed in 1892. In 1880, however,
with Pennoyer as the candidate for gov
ernor, and no third party ticket in the
field, he was elected by 5000. This
time also the democrats have prac-
tically surrendered to the populistS
