Pingree's Election Cinfmed-Note
on Copgressmen Close.

DETROIT, MICH, November Slower
nor Pingree held his own tolerably well
IN to-day's elections. At 10 o'clock to-
night the Republican State Committee
claimed his election by from 5000 to 60OOO
majority. The Democrats do not yet con-
cede defeat. The balance OF the Republic
can State ticket is elected.
The vote on congressman is close In half
OF the twelve districts, the others re-
turning Republicans with certainty.
The Legislature will have a Republi
can majority, but whether Pingree or

undetermined.

Democrats Claim Election of Lind
RepubIicans Claim congressman.

ST. PAUL, MINI, November Sat
midnight the Democratic State Committee
claimed the election Of Lind for Governor,
but would not give figures. The Globe
Democratic claimed that he was elected
by 10000.
The Republicans simply say that the re-
suit is still i'm doubt; that the returns are
too meagre to decide the result They
also claim all the congressman. although
the Democrats are positive they have the
Seventh District, and possibly two others.
MINNESOTA NOW DOUBTFUL.
Minnesota has not always been con-
sidered a doubtful State, but that is GER
tainly her position this year. Eustis, the
Republican candidate, ran behind his
ticket in most of those precincts whore
the vote on all the candidates was given,
so that the fact that much fuller returns
will be needed to decide between the
gubernatorial candidates is looked upon
as presumptive evidence that the rest
Of the Republican ticket is probably
elected. The Legislature, which will elect
a successor to Senator Davis, is conceded
~ Republican. The Republicans have GER
tainly elected four congressman, the other
three being doubtful, rather than posi-
lively Democratic. Democrats claim that
Eustis is beaten.

A Surprise in the Probable Election
of Haywood.


LINCOLN, NEB., November S.-Scat-
tering precinct returns up to 10 +. M.
indicate a political surprise in Nebraska,
inasmuch as they forecast the almost
certain election Of Hayward Republican,,
for Governor, by a plurality Of not less
than 5000 This will be a reversal OF the
verdict of 1896 by nearly 1900. The count
thus far is wholly on Governor, so far as
the State ticket is concerned, and as ii
is the belief that Hayward is running
slightly ahead of his ticket, it would make
results on the remaining state officers
very close.
The most surprising feature of 1t all is
the strength displayed by Republican
legislative candidates, the few returns
received showing them to be even ahead
of Hayward.
AS these are from but one or two
counties, however, they fail TO indicate
assuredly the complexion OF the Legisla-
ture.
CONFLICTING CLAIMS.
At midnight, Chairman Slaughter, OF the
Republican State Committee said: 1--WE
have elected the entire Republican ticket
by pluralities of not less than 3,000 and
possibly TO exceed 5000. We will have
a majority Of the Legislature on joint bal
lot, and win elect Republican United
