SOUTH DAKOTA.

Sioux Falls, s. D, Nov. NO doubt
a complete victory in South Dakota
Frank Crane, chairman of the Repub-
Hcan state committee, has persistently
refused TO be quoted during the present
campaign on the probable outcome of
the election, but at midnight he said:
I'VE have secured sufficient returns
from the state to conclusively show that
we have carried the state for Mckinley
thousand and that we have elected our
two nominees for congress and the en-
tire state ticket. We will have a ma
jority of 40 on joint ballot in the legisla-
ture, insuring the election of a Republi-
can to succeed Senator Pettigrew. The
result has been a surprise to both sides
as the fusionists expected Bryan to
carry the state, while the Republicans
did not expect McKinley's plurality to
reach more than six or eight thousand"

IDAHO.

Boise, Idaho, Nov. Only As precincts
out Of the 400 in Idaho have been heard
from. These gave the following results:
Mckinley Alta; Bryan 4,S10; Standrod
for governor 4,647; Hunt for governor
ACTS; Morrison for congressman 4,76E.
Glenn for congress 4,551. The same pre-
cincts in 1898 gave Moss, Republican, for
governor 2,370 and Steunenberg, Fusion,

The net Republican gain is 11.3 per
cent. A gain of 9 per cent is needed to
carry the state From many of the
heavy Republican precincts nothing has
yet been heard and it seems some of the
predicted percentage indicated will be
maintained. On a. basis of so, 900 votes
cast for the Republican and Fusion tick
cts which seems likely to be about the
correct figure, the Republicans would
have 26 400 and the Democrats %, 600
Republican plurality of $500. 1t is rea-
sonably certain that the Republican ma
tional and state tickets have carried the
state. No intelligent forecast can be
given on the legislature.
