Democrats Control legislature.

The returns are yet too meager ! to
make definite estimates as to the COM
'picxion Of the next legislative assem-
biy, but Indications are that the dem
ocrats will control both houses. and on
joint ballot, the delegations from Silver
Bow and Lewis and Clarke counties
being almost solidly democratic, while
many other counties send democratic
representatives.
DR.. Mckay has won in Meagher for

meth Mclean, republican candidate
for reelection to the senate, was de.
feated, and in Yellowstone county Mr..
Bever, who was considered almost in
vincible, has suffered the same fate.
AS in case of the legislature, so as
to the state ticket-with the exception
of governor-the probabilities are that
the balance of the ticket will be di-
vided between the two parties.
The senate will stand, IL democr ats,
13 republicans and one doubtful.
The house will be composed of "a
