is beyond doubt that the entire repub-
llcan state ticket, including justices Of
the supreme court, is safe. with the pos
slble 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 ac-
count for the big slump shown in the
vote In the third congressional dis
trict. also. and especially in Goodhue
county, Mr. Eustis made showing
which was greatly disappointing to his

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 esti-
mate, but it is probable that Eustis will
make a better showing than Gov.
Clough did two years ago. The vote

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 APP
pear to be in favor of the fusionist can
didate, although it is possible and en-
tirely probable that Mr. Eustis has
been elected governor OF the state.
With % precincts in Hennepin
county to hear from at a. m, it seems
probable that Lind will have small
plurality in the county, not to exceed
5000 With Is city and 7 country
towns heard from, Eustis has 1,S45 and
Lind 1906 the same voting districts
two years ago gave Clough 2,614 and
Lind 2,652 This indicates that Lind
has suffered more by the falling off in
the vote than the republicans have
The remainder OF the state ticket will
go out Of Hennepin county with from
1000 to 5000 majority, polling nor
NAL republican vote everywhere. The
supreme court judges are being cut in
favor of Canty and Mitchell, but this is
partially offset by democrats who have
scratched Buck, and applied their votes
on the republican ticket Judge Love
ly runs ahead among the republicans.
Judge Canty will probably lead Judge
Mitchell slightly in Hennepin county.
The fall election OF 1893 in St. Paul
will be recorded as being the most
orderly and uneventful ever known in
the history of political events in the
city. The day passed off without es-
pecial incident, though spirit of
earnestness pervaded it that has not
been witnessed before in years.
At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon a
large proportion of the vote in each
of the precincts, as shown by the regis
tration, had been cast
AS early as the noon hour an I'M
usually large vote had been thrown.
Perhaps no other election in the county
has been so businesslike.
Minneapolis. Nov o.-For the first
time since P. B. Winston laid down the
reins of municipal government in Min
neapolis. this city will on the first Mon
day of January next have as its chief
magistrate democrat.
There was an election yesterday, to
the results of which this is due. Young
Mr.. Gray proved a Warwick, and ran
from Shingle Greek to Minnehaha and
from Lake Harriet to the St. Paul city
limits with an agility that surprised even
his most enthusiastic supporters, AT
this writing e a. M the returns are
not all in, but if they keep on coming
to the end as they have thus far from
the beginning, the next mayors plural
ity will be somewhere from 5000 to
1000. probably nearer the latter figure
than the former.
Fergus Falls, Mimi, Nov. CHAIR
man Adams says Congressman Eddy
seems sure of 900 plurality which may
be increased
Ottertail will give Lind less than
600 plurality and Ringdal less than
500. The republicans will get half of
the legislative and county ticket
Duluth, Mimi. Nov o.-Morris is
gaining ground in Towne's stronghold,
in the west end OF Duluth, while Towne
is gaining in the east end.
Morris losses on the Iron range are
heavy, while Towne holds up well. He
will probably have 800 majority in St.
Louis county.
