jority was whether Clough pulled through.
| Tams Bixby kept to his early claim. al
| though the face OF the returns seemed to
indicate not less than 5000 or 5000. the
| country vote being used TO discount the
| vSce heard from. The congressman on the
republican ticket seemed to have pulled
| through In the first. second. third fourth
and fifth districts. while the sixth and
| seventh districts were considered close
and doubtful by the republicans, and were
claimed by the fusionists. In the sew
enth district. however Congressman Eddy
ran ahead of the national and state tick
cts and may pull through, although II
| VIII be close matter IL he does.

the national ticket seems to be nearly

There is no doubt that Mckinley has
carried Hennepin county by majority of
/ several thousand. II looks as if the pre-
dlction OF Charles A. Pillsbury made on
the eve OF election that Mckinley would
carry the county by at least 10000 ma
Jorlty, would not come within great deal
/ or being verified. 1t looks more as II the
rather conservative claim of Chairman S.
Is. Loyejoy of the republican joint COM
mittee would prove something like cor
/ rect Mr.. Lovejoy thought Mckinley
would so out OF Hennepin with about 4.50O
majority.
In the towns of st. Louis Park. Golden
Valley. Edna Mills. Robbinsdale and Rich

same towns give Clough 4ss. Lind 403 In
, ~ precincts and towns Mckinley has !, 296.
Bryan $40. Ciough l.06S Lind 1000. At this
rate or gain, Lind will carry Minneapolis

FLETCHER has SIC. Owen 577. while Pratt In
the city has .1S4. Ankeny $50.

/ Congressman Eddy's reelection. He is
running stronger than Mckinley. Every

definite claims.
The Times estimates that the repub-
/ licans have carried Minneapolis for Nc
Kinley by $500; by little or nothing for
Clough: that the republicans elect their
/ congressional. their county ticket, except
sheriff. and their entire city ticket.
/ Phillips is apparently elected sheriff over

nomenal race and making tremendous
| gains In republican precincts,

Mckinley i,OSs: Bryan, I.19S: Clough 1902:
Lind l.27S: Eddy and McKinnon are both
/ running ahead of their ticket.
Anoka, Mimi, Nov. 3.-Anoka county
will give Mckinley a plurality of 625.

Loren Fletcher has certainly been re-
! elected by a handsome majority over all
| and II is probable that he will go back
| to congress with all the way from 5000
| to 1000 plurality. Twenty-six precincts
| last night gave him 1925 against 2,3l3 for
"A {. IL an a
| fusion ticket. The total vote counted In
these twenty-six precincts is about one
ninth of that in the city, and on the same
basis 1t would not be very difficult TO fig
ure out a handsome majority for Mr.
Fletcher. The returns were taken indis-
criminately as they came In TO City Clerk
Haney and all sections of the city were
represented.
CONGRESS
Washington. Nov. AIT midnight Chair
man Babcock gave out the following
statement:
THE returns received up to this hour
fully verify the predictions which have
been made by the republican congress
sional committee The fifty-fifth congress
will contain nearly. II not as many. re-
publican members as did the fifty-fourth.
I believe that the senate will have a good
working sound money majority and
feel confident that the decisive verdict Of
the people will bring into line many SEN
ators who have hitherto wavered In re-
gard TO the silver question and have cast
their votes with the silver party. Mr.. Nc
Kinley will have behind him not only a
sound money house, hut a sound money
senate as well, both thoroughly committed
to a protective tariff"
