Democratic Success in Minnesota.

A dispatch from St. Paul says: Returns received from the municipal elections throughout Minnesota indicate, wherever party lines wero drawn, a sweeping Democratic victory. This was conspicuously the case in tbe larger towns In the small towns the result turned largely upon tbe local issues, aud particularly upon the 1 cense question, the no-license party generally being defeated. The most signal Democratic victory was won at Owatonna, th 9 home of Congressman Dunnell, where Dr. Mirchouse was elected Mayor over State Senator Crandall, and the City Government in every branch was captured by the Democrats. In Austin the Democrats elected Senator 0. W. Gibson Mayor, aud carried the Council. Alexandr a, the home of ex-Congressman Nelson, end Delano, tbe county seat of Wright, were the scenes of Democratic victories. At Rochester the Democrats made a combination against the nolipense element and carried the city. White Bear, Montevideo, Mound View, and Hector all elected Democrats, Every town named bas"hitherto been strongly Republican. The taritf-refyrm wave is rolling over Minnesota and will reach tidal proportions by next November.
