DIX BY 65,000. Democrats Cay Mew: York, Wholly Reversing the Republican Plural- ity of 69,462 Four Years Ago. New York, Nov. 8.—Returns at 10 o'clock tonight indicate that John A. Dix, Democrat, has been elected gov- ernor of New York over Henry L. Stimpson, Republican, by between fifty-five and sixty thousand plurality. These figures may be reduced or in- creased by returns from up-state ru- ral districts. ; New York City gives Dix a plurali- ty of at least one hundred thousand, | which more than offsets the greatly | reduced plurality of the Republicans up-state. Two years ago the greater city gave Chanler for governor less than exty thousand plurality. Probably the Entire Ticket. Below Mr. Dix on the ticket the re- sult is uncertain, although tending to- ward Democratic success. Thomas | F. Conway, the Democratic nominee | for lieutenant governor, appears to be running only slightly behind Dix. | Francis-Reed Race Hard to Figure. Up to the time of our going to ress the returns on the Francis- ‘eed contest for the Democratic nom- ination for United States Senator, are so incomplete that it is impossible to make a forecast of the final result. Until a reliable estimate of the St. Louis vote is made public the result will be in doubt. Bates county’s majority for Reed will probably be In the neighborhood of 1,000. DICKINSON RE-ELECTED BY 2,000. Calvird Beats Judge Denton for Circuit Judge. Congressman C, C. Dickinson is re- elected over his opponent, F. H. De- Vol by a majority which, judging from returns received over the wire up to the time of going to press, will be more than 2,000, Hon. C. A. Calvird has probably defeated C. A. Denton by a majority of at least 300. Later returns may) show an increase. W. A. & Chas. Z. Baker’s Poland | China Hog Sale. | W. A. & C. Z. Baker held their | widely advertised public sale of Big Boned Poland-China hogs Friday, | November 4th. | Messrs. Baker & Baker are well- | known throughout the state as relia- | ble breeders of the topnotch quality ; in hogs, and although this was their | first public sale, prominent hog men | from various parts of the state were | present, and bid well for the stock | offered, and many fanciers of fine | stock who were unable to be present | sent in mail bids. | In all, a total of 58 head of hogs! were sold, bringing an average price of $41.20 per head. Of these twenty- two head were sold to parties living at a distance in this and other states, and many of the hogs purchased were taken overland to adjoining, counties. | Messrs. Baker and Baker inform us that it is their intention to hold a brood sow sale February 3rd, at which they expect to offer stock bet- ter in proportion if possible than was offered in this sale.
