Some Election Echoes.

Some Election EChOeS.
One of the glorious things of the
election was the defeat of Senator Pet
tigrew. News was received this morn
ing from Sioux Falls that Minnehaha a
county went republican by 1000, the
city OF Sioux Falls by 495 and even
Pettigrew's home precinct went
against him by 50 votes. That WAS
sufficient endorsement that Pettigrew's
course was not approved even by his
home people.
Aurora county got back in the repub-
lican column this year by electing its
legislators and also carrying the county
for Mckinley.
In its telegraphic dispatches The
REPUBLICAN gives the election returns
up to an esrly hour this morning.
Hanson county got into line, electing
the entire county ticket and legislators
with the exception of register of deede.
Bryan carried the county by two or
three votes against 300 four years ago.
It has been impossible to secure the
vote on the amendment to the consti-
tuition and nothing can be given as 10
the results of that feature of the cleo
tiOn. The amendments were voted for
on separate ballots and in the hurry to
secure the vote on the county ticket the
amendments were lost sight Of.
Chsirman Crane sent q message from
Sioux Falls stating that Pettigrew
carried only four counties in the state,
which sets at rest all possibility that be
will be reelected.
South Dakota is solidly republican
from the Mckinley presidential cleo
tors down to railroad commissioner, and
the plurality will reach between 1000
and 10000.
Sanborn county elected its republican
Legislative ticket. A. B. Rowley won
by Is majority. Jerauld came in with
the same good news of republican sue
cess.
Turner county doubled its majority
of two years ago for the republicans
and gave an even thousand for the
ticket.

NEBRASKA FOR M'KINLEY.

The latest Information from Nebras-
ka is that the state has gone 5000 for
Mckinley. and that the legislature is
also republican, which will elect two
United States. 1t is asserted with
much confidence on the returns now In
that Pre-ident Mckinley will have
over 300 votes in the electoral college,
and his popular majority will exceed
that of four years ago.

Returns From the States.

Early in the evening there was a
large crowd congregated at the repub-
lican league rooms to. listen to the tele-
graphic reports as they came in from
the eastern and western states. The
news of McKinley's carrying so many
states was cheering in the extreme and
the crowd was enthusiastic to proper

not at all cheering and it was quiet
