Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1898-11-09
MINNESOTA.

Same precincts in 1896 gave Clough a.
US and Lind 22o22.
Three hundred and twenty-three pre-
cincts scattering in the state give Eus-
tbs 24,33o, Lind 25,185.
At 2 o'clock this morning Chairman
L. A. Rosing Of the Democratic state
central committee, stated that there was
no doubt whatever of the election Of
John Lind as governor and Of the three
judges Of the supreme court. He claims
the election Of at least two congressman
and perhaps three. That while the
Democrats have made large gains in the
various legislative districts, that body
will probably be republican by a greatly
decreased majority Outside of the
Judges and governor he had no claims
to make as to the state ticket.
At the same hour Chairman Steele,
of the Republican state central commit
tee, admitted that the governorship was
in doubt, but thought that Mr.. Eustis
would come under the wire, winner
by small margin Tams Bixby and
Eli Warner were at Republican head
quarters casting up the votes with
Chairman Steele, and they say that it
is beyond doubt that the entire repub-
lcan state ticket, including justices Of
the supreme court, is safe, with the pos
sible exception of governor. They say
also that the entire seven republican
congressman are sure of reelection with
the exception possibly of Page Morris
in the sixth district.
Returns from the sixth district are
very meager, and as the contest is very
close, the result there cannot be known
for some time. While the democrats
claim the election of Ringdal in the
seventh district, the figures fail to bear
out their assertion Every point heard
| from in the seventh district shows that
Congressman Eddy is running away
| ahead of his ticket His election seems
| practically certain.
The result in Ramsey county and the
fourth district as to governor IS es-
pecially disappointing to the republic
ans, and they are entirely unable to &C
count for the big slump shown III the
vote. In the third congressional dis
trict, also, and especially in Goodhue
county, Mr.. Eustis made a showing
which was greatly disappointing to his
friends. In the first congressional dis
trict the returns, meager as they are,
seem to indicate that he will have plu-
rality almost equal to that which was
expected From the second district
the returns are very, very few, and it
is almost impossible to make an estl-
mate, but it is probable that Eustis will
make better showing than Gov.
Clough did two years ago. The vote
| in the fifth district was not far from
| that which was anticipated, but IN the
| sixth it would seem that Lind has got
ten much the best of it. In the sew
enth all returns received up to date IN
dictate that Mr. Eustis has made con-
| siderable inroad into the Lind plural
ity of two years ago. -,
At this hour the situation will ap-
pear to be in favor Of the fr1slOnlSt can
didate, although it is possible and en-
tirelv probable that Mr.. Eustls has
been elected governor of the state.
With rs precincts in Henneplr
county to hear from at a. M, it seem:
probable that Lind will have small
plurality in the county, not to exceed
1000. With 18 city and 7 country
towns heard from, Eustis has 1886 ane
Lind 1906; the same voting district:
two years ago gave Clough 2,614 an<
Lind 2,652. This indicates that Line
has suffered more by the falling off II
the vote than the republicans have
The remainder of the state ticket viii
go out of Hennepin county with iron
1000 to 5000 majority, polling nor
NAL republican vote everywhere. Ih'
supreme court judges are being cut II
favor of Canty and Mitchell, but this i
partially offset by democrats who hav'
scratched Buck, and applied their vote
on the republican ticket. Judge Love
" runs ahead among the republicans
Judge Canty will probably lead Judg
Mitchell slightly in Hennepin county.
The fall election of 1893 in St. Pau
will be recorded as being the mos
orderly and uneventful ever known il
the history of political events in tn
city. The day passed off without es
pecial incident, though spirit @
earnestness pervaded it that has no
, been witnessed before in years.
At s o'clock yesterday afternoon
large proportion of the vote in eac
of the precincts, as shown by the regis
tration, had been cast.
AS early as the noon hour an TN
' usually large vote had been thrown
: PERHAPS no other election in the count
] has been SO businesslike.
