BETTER THAN EXPECTED.

THAN EAfEClED.
Forum: Two years ago the Nc
Kinley electors carried every county in
the state, securing Walsh by four
votes. This was an unequalled record.
The state ticket was less fortunate:
This year it seems that Governor
White has carried every county. The
democrats had been conceded Walsh
and claimed GRAND Forks, Richland,
Towner and other counties. The re-
ports this morning are that White has
Walsh by ever 100 majority and Grand
Forks was his by sixty7nine.
The results are certainly remarkable
considering the off year.
The majority of White will undoubt-
edy reach 1000 and that of the con
gressmen will probably be $4,000.
AS a sample of the last returns re-
ceived Ward county gave Governor
White Il majority of 1,26O ou of 2,O16
votes, White receiving 1,63S votes to
37S by Cronan. This makes Ward
the banner county on the big majority,
though others beat Ward in precent-
age.
IN nearly every instance increased
returns r reported over the first es-
Inmates sent to the state republican
headquarters by the members of the
state central committee.

NIPEG.
A special from Winnipeg, Man,
