As tho returns continue to come in they but verify the State Herald's forecast Of the magnificent triumph of Captain Johnston and the entire state ticket
 All he-eounties have not yet been heard from, and therefore the State Her aid will not undertake this morning to present a tabulated statement of the vote cast, but there is every evidence that it's estimate of 50,000 for Captain Johnston will hold good.
 The legislature is democratic by large majority. Seventyfour democrats are known to be elected to the house; the election of eight democratic members is in doubt. The populists have elected thirteen representatives, and five of their candidates are on the anxious seat. Of the seventeen senators the democrats elect eleven and the populists two; four are in doubt.

Oxford, Aug. 4.-(Specia1.)-Off Official from beat 13, in Calhoun: Johnston 200, Goodwin 191. The balance of the populist ticket only got about one-third

The balance of the ticket will show about same majorities for the democratic coun- ty candidates. The registered vote was E 362. Of this number fl failed to vote. It is believed by close observers that nearly all those failing to vote were democrats, who lacked interest or were dissatisfied with the county nominees. Oates ma jority two years ago was S2 If all the registered voters had been boiled it is believed here that Johnstons majority would exceed Oates a few votes.
 The populites and republicans all voted to g. man.

 Your committee would move to amend the report by striking therefrom the names of Dan Lawler, Frank w. Me- Cutcheon and Judge MoCafferty.
 JT Bowditch of Wabasha said he ad- vised this step because the men in ques- tion were known to be gold delegates, The convention heard this with shouts of approval, and the report was adopted.
 When the vote was announced the greatest confusion ensued.
 Mr. Lawler tried to make himself heard, but his efforts were in vain. The expelled men then walked out of the hall, followed by one whole delegation and several members of the Ramsey county delegation, of which they were memberss The platform as adopted declared In fai vor of the Chicago platform and the nom- inees of the Chicago convention. de- nounces the platform of the republican party, and demands an amendment tQ the constitution of the United States prol viding for the election of president and vice president and United States senators by the direct vote of the people.
