More Votes Than John
Lind

The Republican national ticket has
carried Ramsey county by about 5000
majority. With twenty precincts to
near from at o'clock this morning his
majority according to the official re-
turns was 1883. In the Fifth and
sixth wards the vote was very close
between Bryan and Mckinley. but in
all other wards the majorities of the
Republican candidate was overwhelm-
ing.
The result was foreshadowed early.
The first returns were received from
the seventh ward, where the Republf-
cans themselves were astonished at
their majorities in the precincts. Then
came the figures from the First ward,
which showed a distinct loss for Brv-
an, as compared with Lind, who ran
close to the head of the Republican
ticket. The Eighth was more than
disappointing to the Democrats. In
stead of polling a majority for their
candidate, as was confidently expected.
and as even the Republicans had con-
ceded, the early figures indicated a.
small majority for the Republicans.
The Ninth ward was equally a sur
prise TO the Democrats and Republi-
cans. The Democrats had claimed tho
ward by from 800 to 600, while the Ro-
pCblicans had conceded a small ma jor-
