The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-11-03
Iowa EajOrity Under Twenty Thousand
The Republicans Carry the State, But by Greatly
Reduced Vote.

DIES MONIES, To-, Nov. 2.-Returns
from about one-fourth of the 2,0O1 pre-
cincts of the state show that the Re
publican plurality will be about 1900.
These returns are from all parts Of the
state, including both city and country
precincts, and it is believed that the
ratio established thereby will be sub
stantially maintained. The ratio of
Democratic gain has been at about %
per cent to a precinct for nearly o0J
precincts. That will give the Demo-
Gratis a net gain in the state of about
A, OO0 The legislative ticket returns
are slow in coming in. The best eSt1-
mates obtainable here give to the SEN
ate &c Republicans, II Democrats and
two districts in doubt. Of the members
of the house probably So out of 100 will
be Republican, giving them safe
working majority. The gold Democrat
ic vote runs less than three to pre-
cinct, but will probably reach 5,O0O or
5000 votes in the state. The prohibit
ton vote is a little heavier than the
gold Democratic vote. 1t will probably
amount to 5000 in the state. The mid
dle-of-the-road Populist vote is not
consequential
At midnight Chairman Mcmillan, of
the Republicans, claimed essentially
the above to be correct estimates, al
though he thinks the Republican plur-
atty will go up to $4,000 when the
country is heard from tomorrow
Chairman Walsh, of the Democratic
committee, made no claims except that
they had given the Republicans close
call ard the later returns, he thinks,
may throw the result in some doubt.
DUBUQUE, To-, Nov City, incom-
plete, fourteen precincts and others

1900. City gave Bryan, 1855; McKin-
ley, 3,S01.
DIES MONIES, To-, Nov. 2.-Chairman
Mcmillan, of the Republican commit
tee, claims the state by from 1900 to
10000 plurality Chairman Walsh makes
no claims, but neither does he make
any concessions
At 10 o'clock the Register Rep0
claimed Iowa for Shaw by 10000 1t
estimates that this will be increased
to 10000 by the country districts. The
returns show Is per cent Republicans
did not vote, while only II per cent Of
Democrats stayed at home.

ry Macarthur (Rep) for senator is
