Ity Assured,
The great battle of the ballot has been
fought. The desire OF the masses 10 de.
clare their sentiments upon the great
political issues which have formed the
basis for comment and contest, has been
gratified, and it is safe to say that,
through their emphatic expression, the
country will rapidly rise from its de-
pressed condition and in due time reach
the degree of prosperity which marked
the result Of republican rule in the past.
The result of the election in the various
states can not as yet be definitely stated,
and while there is a shade of doubt
hanging over the result of few states
claimed for Mckinley, reliable reports
indicate his election by very large ma
jority. The states that have been con-
ceded to Mckinley are Connecticut.
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine,
Maryland. Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode
leland, Vermont, Wisconsin, Wyoming,
which have an aggregate electoral vote
OF 2ol. States conceded TO Bryan are:
Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida.
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri,
Montana, Nevada, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Texas rnd Utah, li5. The re-
naming states classed as doubtful, it is
confidently expected, will largely in
crease Mekinley's majority,

the county having been carried by Bryan
by Il majority of 81, the republicans saw

the treasurer and county Judge, and
one county commissioner, as shown
by our table giving complete returns Of
the county in tabulated form, which We
submit in this issue. The vote in this
city, where just 800 votes were cast, was
very close, Bryan carrying the city by
a majority of9, and there was tie on
three of the county Offices.
The Hills counties were all carried by
Bryan, but by small majorties in most Of
them. Fall River gave a majority OF Is.
Meade less than 40, and is reported to
have elected the entire county republi-
can ticket. Butte also gave small ma
jority, while Lawrence and Penningtons
majorities are up in the hundreds.
Lawrence is now the banner pop county,
haying given a majority for Bryan of
700 In Fall River county the repnbli-
cans elected one officer, the treasurer,
and We persume under the circumstan-
es, they are thankful for that. The city
of Deadwood gave majority of 100 for
Bryan. and Lead gave Mckinley a ma
iority of ll3. Rapid City gave Bryan a
majority of one vote, while Key stone
went Rapid several better giving him a
