Prohibitioa was carried by 2,0)0 and tin Republican tioket by from 8,009 to 1.9. Minneapolis, Mian., Oct 2. It is a sure victory for Pierre for the capital of South Diikota. The Journal's staff correspondent at Aberdeen telegraphs: "Chairman McCoy estimates this afternoon that Pierre will bave 10,009 plurality. A Dead wo ml special says 3t precincts in ths Black Hills give Pierre 3,138; Huron, Ml; Sioux FalK 19S; Chamberlain, 13$; Watertown, 128." WashlHgtnn. Tacoxa, Wash., Oct 2. -The weather was fine, aud a large vote Is reported from all over the State. Much scratching retards the count iu the populotu districts. Returns from Thurston, Spokane, Pacific and Whitman give Republican majorities for Congress and tbe State ticket Tbe count in Pierce and King eoaaties, the two most populous counties, will not be determined until a late hour to-day. A slight teohaical error la the form of the Republican tickets in both these eosuties has raised the questions of legality, and the Democrats are making objections. The error consists ef leaving off the line "Against tbe Constitution" which is with the other special features directed by the Constitution. Seattle, Wash., Oct. 1 Republicans have mads gains In every county but this, King and Kittatas' majority in the Stat e is probably seven thousand. The Republicans will have a majority of twenty ou joint .Legislative ballot, aud tbe Constitution is adopted, but neither nf three, capital rivals, Kllensburg, Rorth Yakima or Olympia, will have a ma parity.
