A Great Day for minnesota Demo-
Gratis.

Minnesota yesterday elected the first
Democratic governor since her choice
Of Gov. Sibley in 1858, and the second
in the history of the state.
The majority by which John Lind
was elected will range between 1900
and 5000.
The indications in this county
are that Judge George L. Bum
is reelected to g seat on the
district court bench, that Her
man Oppenheim will be the future
county attorney of Ramsey county, and
that John Wagner will be sheriff, and
possibly Anton Miesen, county treas
urer
Democratic gains in every COMPRESSION
al district thus far heard from. The
ircompleteness of the figures con-
tanned in the scattering dispatches
going to press to warrant an estimate
as to the legislative and congressional
districts.
1t is certain, however, that in Ram
sey county the Democrats have elected
Hennessy and O'Connor to the house,
and McNamee to the senate. Juene-
mann may also be elected.
Mr.. Lind carried every ward but
three in ST. Paul, and eclipsed his OPP
ponent in Minneapolis, the home city
of Mr. Eustis, by from $500 to $500.
His majority in Ramsey county will
approximate 1,400.
James Gray, the Democratic candi-
date for mayor Of Minneapolis, carried
that city by a majority estimated at
about the same figures given John
Lind, although it is conceded that Lind
will have the heavier vote
The majority received by Mr.. Lind
in the state would seem to indicate that
the Democratic judges of the supreme
court, namely, Mitchell, Canty and
Buck, are also elected, although the in
completeness Of the returns does not yet
warrant a positive statement to that
effect.
