Devils Lake inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, Ramsey Co., Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1905, 1900-11-09

SSoASys III ~ IAAlA CIT lAC
Twin Cities with an approximate ma
jority of 700; Clough overcame this
majority in the country and had 5000
to spare. Ramsey. county has given
Lind approximately 700 plurality.
1t is expected that Hennepin county
will give Van SAINT a plurality of at least
1000, and send him to the country at
least without any plurality against him
in the Twin Cities.
If so his plurality should be approxi-
mately 5000 as all returns in to date
give him a 10 per cent increase over
Clough's plurality in 'o6.
At 2 o'clock this morning the repub-
lican and democratic state chairmen
were each claiming the election of their
gubernatorial candidates by about the
same plurality.
Chairman Rosing, of the democratic
committee, is a trife more optimistic,
saying that Lind's plurality will be
$1,000. Chairman Bixby, of the repub-
lican state committee, has not receded
from his original estimate of from
10000 to $4,000. for Van SAINT.
These facts alone are sufficient to
show that the result is in considerable
doubt. The final outcome is all the
more difficult to predict because of the
manner in which the vote varies in
different parts of the state. Governor
Lind has made gains in places least
expected, and Capt. Van SAINT has
done the same.
Mckinley has carried Hennepin
county by a very comfortable majority.
The friends of Captain S. R. Van SAINT,
republican candidate for governor, in
sist that their mar has a plurality of
1900 behind him. The democrats re-
fuse to concede this. Returns from 20
districts out of 13o in Minneapolis at
2:3o o'clock indicated the following:
Mckinley, 2,467; Bryan, 1886.
Van SAINT, 1923; Lind, I, 1876.
At 2:3o this morning partial returns
on the gubernatorial situation had been
received from fifteen different counties
outside the twin cities. These indicated
that Van SAINT would be the victor.
The returns included St. Louis, Wat
onwan, Anoka, Lake, Marshall, Rock,
Crow Wing, Aitkin, Washington, Wi
mona, Renville, Grant, Dodge. Polk and
Redwood counties. Mckinley appears
likely to increase his plurality of 5000
in 1896.
Mckinley, 1859; Bryan, 4,o23; Van
SAINT, 6,o46: Lind. $780,:
The latest figures for Ramsey county,
including about two-thirds Of the pre-
| cincts, were as follows:
. Mckinley, 12,243; Bryan, 8,476; Van
SAINT, 1894; Lind, I1,12o.
St. Paul, Nov. 6.-Six precincts in
Minnesota give Mckinley 5,125, Bryan
3,1o7.
On the state ticket Chairman Rosing
of the democratic. state committee
claims the reelection of Governor Lind
by $4,000. The republicans give no fig
ures, but do not concede the election
of Lind.
Two Harbors, Mimi, Nov. give
polling places in Lake county give Nc
Kinley $40, Bryan, 27e; same in 1896,
Mckinley 583, Bryan 325; Van SAINT
312, Lind 438; in 1898 to they gave
Lind :33I, Eustis 222
Duluth, Mimi, Nov. 6.-Eleven pre-
cincts out of 100 in St. Louis county
give Mckinley SAB, Bryan 123, Van
SAINT 44o, Lind 2o1.
Returns on the congressional contest
are not in except in a few precincts, but
there is no question of Morris r%e-elec-
ton by a large majority, probably s.
o Thirty-two precincts out of fifty
in the Sixth give Morris 2,238, Truelsen
1862, a majority for Morris of 876 and
net gain for Morris over his vote of
1893 Of 822. On this showing Chair
man Searle does not see how Morris
majority can fall below 5000, and it is
possible that this will be nearly right.
St. James, Mimi, Nov. 6.-Three
districts heard from give Mckinley 40,
Bryan $50, Van SAINT 3o7, Lind 281,
McLeary for congress carrying every
thing F..
Chaska, Mimi, Nov. 6.-The city of
Chaska gives a majority to Mckinley
of 1o8, Van SAINT 70, Heatwole 68.
Warren, Mimi, Nov. 6.-This city
gives Mckinley 100, Bryan 81, Van
SAINT 40. Lind $50.
Renville, Mimi, Nov. 6.-Hector
precinct in Renville county gave Nc
Kinley ~, Bryan 70. Van SAINT 143,
Lind 100. The same precinct in 1893
gave Eustis 70, Lind 1872. A precinct
in the village of Renville gives McKin-
ley 127, Bryan IS. Van SAINT $50, Lind
158. A precinct in the town of En-
NETT gives Mckinley 62, Bryan "A, Van
SAINT 43, Lind 6o. A republican gain on
governor Of 81 in these two precincts.

county by about 1000 plurality. Van
SAINT lost the county by about 1900.

districts out of seventy-two in Polk

North Dakota.
Fargo, N. D., Nov. 1.-THE Repub-
llcan state committee claims the cleo
ton of Mckinley electors by $4,000 and
the election of the state ticket by 10000.
Chairman Kleinogel of the Demo-
cratic committee, comedies the defeat of
the Democratic state and electoral
ticket with the possible exception of
John Carmody for attorney general,
who is running ahead of the ticket be-
cause of the opposition of Prohibition
lists to Comstock. For congress, Mar
shall will defeat Hildreth by a large
majority. Max Wipperman, Fusion
candidate for governor, ran ahead Of
Bryan, but there are no hopes for his
election.
The legislature will be strongly Re-
publican.
The city of Fargo was in the Nc
Kinley landslide strong. -Four years
ago the town gave Mckinley a ma
jority Of 241. This year it will be about
