Dauphin van gait: Mr. Burrows (Liberal) 103 majority, and he has a majority at every loll reported to-night. The constizuency. is the largest outside of ‘.Vin«.ipeg. and the victory is a. good am considering the tremendous effort; put forth by the Conservatives to entry the seat. Both Mr. Hugh John Macdonald and Premier Grcemvav visited -the constituency and addressed meetings, and everywhere the tr»; test enthus- iasm greeted the Premier. A despa'tch last night says: The town and coun- try are ablaze with enthusiasm on the result of the election. The Liber- als hoped for victorv, but never ex- pectcd such a landslide. considering the odds they Were Lghting against. A glorification meeti'ig “as held in the Town Hall and rousing address- r-s were delivered by Hon. Robert Watson. Mr. Burrows and others. The result of the caution here is taken as an indicn‘.i-m of what will happen clscthrc when the electors get another chance in record their votes. Final returns from other dis- tricts will not be in Lcl‘tre morning. but conceding the distant polls to the Opposition, Mr. Burrows will have a very large iiiajc-irty on the whole. The Conservatives anticipated victory and made gseat preparations to celebrate.
