Willmar tribune., 1900-11-14


showing that for the first time he has
carried every county in the district.
His plurality reaches 1880, whereas
the greatest plurality he ever received
before was $780, This is in spite OF
postoAice fights and his vote on Porto
Rican bill and is splendid indorse-
ment
At 3 o'clock this afternoon Congress-
man Eddy's plurality over Daily in the
seventh had reached 4,338. His total
plurality will not be far from 1850.

Hernepin county, which has been
looked upon as Lind safeguard. has
gone back on him this year, and has
exceeded the hopes of the most san
guine Republicans by the vote polled
for Van SAINT
In the other parts of the state the
Van SAINT gains are steady and certain,
IL, d
gubernatorial candidate.
As reports have come in since MORN
ing they have steadily reduced Van
SAINTS lead
Hcnnepin county, supposed at one
time to have. given Van SAINT $500,
gives him only 7o3 with twenty-nlne
precincts missing. thirteen of them in
the city and sixteen in the country. 1t
looks as if the remaining precincts
would still further reduce Van SAINTS
small lead.
On the other hand, Ramsey county,
complete, gives Lind 2,o68 plurality.
In some counties Van SAINT is rum
nirg better than Clough in 1896 and in
others he is not running so we'll. The
result is a toss up with the chances
still favoring Van SAINT by few thous-
and. But it would not be surprising il
the result should be as close as in 1896,
when Clough had only 300 over Lind
Washington county turned in sur
prise by giving Lind bare majority
1t was expected that Van SAINT would
carry this county by good plurality
Lind is not running so we'll in the
southwestern counties as it was ex-
pected he would, but, on the other
hand, he seems to be doing a little
better in the first.
But, again, his supposed strongholds
in the seventh district, Otter Tail, Polk,
Red Lake and other populistic counties,
have not yet reported.
While it seems reasonably certain
that Van SAINT will be the next gov
ernor, it may we'll take the official count
to determine it as the matter now
stands
Meager returns shed very little light
upon the result in the contested con-
gressional districts of the state. but the
democrats concede Judge Page Nor
ris' reelection in the sixth district, and
his plurality over Truelsen will prob
ably be somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of 5000.
McCleary gets from 1000 to 5000
plurality in the second district.
Incomplete returns from the fourth
district show that Congressman Stew
ems has been reelected by about 1000
plurality
Returns from five counties in the sew
enth district give Eddy a good lead
over DAILY for congress, but with some
strong DAILY counties to hear from the
indications are that the result is very
close.
Tawney has about 5000 in the first
district. ..y,-
With twenty precincts to hear from
"Your Uncle Loren Fletcher is lead
ing S. A. Stockwell in the congress
sional race by 10000 and will probably
have as much at the finish.
Chaska, Mimi, Nov. 6.-The city of
Chaska gives ajority to Mckinley
of 1o8, Van SAINT 78, Heatwole 68.
Duluth, Minn., Nov. 6.-Eleven pre-
cincts out Of 100 in St. Louis county
give Mckinley, s43, Bryan 123, Van
SAINT 44o, Lind 2oI. -.
Returns on the congressional contest
are not in except in few precincts, but
there is no question of Morris re-elec-
ton by a large majority, probably S.
600. Ihirty-tWo precincts out of fifty
in the Sixth give Morris 2,238, Truelsen
1862, majority for Morris of $40 and
net gain for Morris over his vote of
1893 of 82z ar ~ ..,.-,
