GOV. WHITE IT Is.
Republican Candidate Is Reelected

Republican Candidate is Reelected
Governor Of North Dakota.
Practically complete returns on the
election show that Gov. White, the
Republican candidate, will have q
majority of about 200. Oficial re-
turns may, of course, slightly change
this estimate, but it is safe to say, on
the returns now at hand, that when
the final figures are given out the gov
ernor's majority will be found to be
above 10000.
The returns indicate that while in
the cities there was good deal of
scratching of ballots in the country
districts a much larger proportion Of
the voters voted the straight ticket
This condition appears to have pre-
vailed all over the state.
Spalding and Marshall, the Repub-
lican candidates for congress, will run
about two thousand votes above the
rest of the ticket.
According to the table below White
has carried every county in the state
with the exception of Walsh, possibly
Grand Forks, and perhaps one or two
of the smaller western counties.
The next legislature will be Repub-
lican by large majority, the commit
tee claiming to have elected four-fifths
of 1t. There were some very lively
contests, and some counties which
have been Republican failed this time
to elect Republican candidates.

oDELL'S PLURALITY.
Complete Figures Place the Total at
12S87,


New York, Nov. 7.-Oficial figures
on the vote for governor vary but lit
tie from the unofficial reports. Ac-
cording to returns made to the execu-
tive at Albany by the several county
clerks the plurality for Odell (Rep.) is
1887.
Returns of the vote for other state
officers are so meager that it is impos-
sible to say if the Democrats have
been more successful as regards the
minor offices than in the case of the
governor.
The state legislature is controlled
by the Republicans by reduced ma
jority, but one so large as to admit OF
no doubt of the return Of Mr.. Plat to
the United States senate.
The New York delegation in the low
er house of the Fifty-eighth congress
will number 81 instead of "a as in the
present congress. 1t will contain 20
Republicans and II Democrats. where
as the present delegation stood % Re-
publicans and IL Democrats. All of
the more noted members of the dele
CATION have been returned, including
Serene f. Payne, chairman of the
ways and means committee.

Voters OF the Country Hand Down Their

Political Conflict.
GAINS ARE MADE BY THE DEMOCRATS
Republicans Will Have Reduced Majorities
in the Senate and House Re-
turns by States

Elections were held yesterday In
sortv.tyo states, and the latest re-

Republican party While official fig.

If the Republican party in the house a
close one, there is no doubt that 1t Will

From a nationa, standpoint, the con-
troll Of the lower branch of congress
was the real contest. Many of the
states elected legislatures, which will
choose United States senators, but the
results of those elections have in no
way imperilled the Republican major
ity of the upper house. In those
states which elected governors there
was no state in which the party in
mower was not continued in that posi-
ton. In some. of the states, however,
there was a decided change from the
vote cast two years ago.
In the East the main interest cen
tered in the two great states OF New
York and Pennsylvania.
The latest returns show that the Re-
publicans (including in this descrip-
tons the fusionists elected in the
Pittsburg. Allegheny districts in Penn
sylyania) will control the next house
