g. The Wing majority in 1898 was 4
in the Senate and 10 in the House OF
Commons. The Boston Atlas makes
out tho net Whig gain in the Legisla-
ture 10. No fear Of North Carolina
INDIANA.-Tho Journal of Com
merce gives returns from 10 counties out
3G in tho State, as follows:-
Bigger, (Whig) e8,628
Howard, Loco) 1906
9,572
Wing gain from 1896, lO94-thc re-
naming counties will increase the
Whig majority.
An intelligent gentleman, direct from
Indiana, assures us that this State, in
the Presidential contest, will give the
Hero of Tippocanoo at least $1,000
majority.
The Legislature Of Indiana, is pretty
much all one way. The Locos have
scarcely corporal's guard left. or
tho ID Senators heard from the Wings
have elected IA, the Locos last year
Wings 6, Locos .. The House stands
30 Wings to 8 Locos-last year o1
Wings 80 Locos.-Showing the hand
some Wing gain Of rs The Globe,
(Which it must be seen is quilting and
and decciving its readers most unblush-
ingly) assured Its readers that there
would DO Van Buren, majority Of ut
least % in the Legislature.
ALABANA.-Thc election is only
for members of tho Legislature in this
State. The Senate consists Of 80 mem
bcrs Of whom one third are chosen year
ly. Tho account as far rs received,
(says the Jour. Of Commercc) stands in
tho House, Wings AZ, Loco l9.-Scn-
ate, If Wings and 10 Loco. If the
counties to bo heard from do even as
well for the Wings this year as they
did last, there will be "a Wing majority
Of 6 on joint ballot Of the Legislature
thereby securing the election of Wing
/ U. S. Senator in place Of Mr.. King,
Locofoco. Well done, Alabama =
This was somewhat unexpected.
/ ILLINOIS.-In this State, the cleo
ton is only for members of the Legis-
lature. There is much discrepancy in
the returns received from Illinois, and
the character of the Legislature is
therefore somewhat und,termined.--
The majority, let it be OH either side,
will be small at any rate.
The local questions influencing the
Legislative vote are so various, togrth-
with the apathy of the Wings in coun
tics where the administration strength
is undoubtcd, render it out of the qucs-
ton to arrivo at any thing like certainty
in the popular vote. We cannot re-
frain from calling the attention of our
readers, however, to tho great gain in
the counties Of St. Clair and Gallatin,
which shew an apparent gain of over
1900 for the Locos. These arc coun-
ties wherein public works are in pro-
grcss, and clearly prove (if any proof
were wanting,) tho truth Of Thomas
Whites letter Of Ohio, (inscrted in our
last the means by which the federal
\ government Of the United States intends
TO porpetuatc its power, and carry out
the doctrines Of the Sub Treasury and
Army Bill.
/ We have recently seen and CONVEX
scd with highly respectable and intel
ligent gentleman who resides near the
Illinois line in Indiana, who informs us
that the popular vote in this contest, is
no criterion whatever Of the vote which
will be given to Gen. Harrison in No
vombor. They feel entirely confident
in his section of the country, that Illinois
is safe beyond all question for HARnI-
SON.
MlSSOURI.-The election is for
Governor, members Of the Legislature,
and two members Of Congress. The
Senate comprises 81 members, the
House 81. In the last Legislature
there was Van Buren majority o I
in the Senate, and 10 in the House.
Joint ballot 26. The members of the
House chosen this year so far as nscer.
tainedcd are
House Senate
Wing 33 ii
i Loco 30 II
Wing gain Senator.
Wing net loss Representatives.
The Locos will no doubt carry mi
nois. We have no objection in Mis
contest.
