It la a safe prediction. how ever, that Carter is elected and that the Republicans have majority of the legislatuie Power, for governor, was at last accounts 80 0 behind Toole, Dem., and the the race between them will be close, with the chances in favor of Power.

It is io close that the fate of any particular candidate lb unknown yet and will hardly be known till the official figures are published.

Cheer after cheer rended the air. Strong men gra'ped each other in their arms and laughed and cried. Those who had been foremost in the fieht for success were earned aiound on the shoulders of the populace, who paraded the streets in the wildest disorder Women and children joined the throng, and to one who did not understand the situation it would seem as if the people had gone mad. Speeeches are being made, bonfires and fireworks lie up thd streets and eveu the onlook ers could not hely being effected oJc^i^fiAtXGL-* by the intense enthusiasm McClure, the defeated Democratic candidate for gov ernor, who has been one of the most diligent workers for Pierre, fs being hustled around in a carriage drawn by the people, aud John Sutherland, piesident of the board ot trade, is being earned around on an improv.sed platform.
