THE STATE ELECTIONS.

.'.s. WASHINGTON, November H.
NO definite returns to change the election
results heretofore telesraphe, though the election
Of Farnsworth ana Ingerso.l in Illinois IS claimed
by the Republicans. The Albany Argus tpemllo=
crat) claim from IS to ga in the New York Assem-.
bly. Later returns from Illinois are more favora-
BILE TO the Democrats. Nevada returns come in
slowly. The indications are that the Democrats
have carried the State, except ihe Lieutenant
Governor and Congressman. The official Vote Is
required to decide positively the Congressional
election.
Browns majority in Missouri rubs forty thous-
and. The issue was the restoration OF Confede.
rates to full citizenship.
Farnesworth teegraphs from Illinois that he is
elected BY 5000 majority. ~. 9.
- :,y..i''2- .; ~ MONTGOMERY, November IL.
About flfty.one counties heard from, and the
Democrats have 1900 majority. The remaiptng
fourteen counties will give about 5000 more Demo
cratic majority. The Democrats certainly elect
sixty members OF the legislature out OF one hun
dred; and probably five more. Slossin the sixth
district, Handley in the third, and Dox In the
fifth, are the Democrats elected to Congress. Tur-
ner negro, Is elected In the first district, Buck
lev, Radical, in the second, and Hays, Radical, IN
the fourth. ,. s
LAKE CITY, FLA, November H..
Returns indicate that the Conservatives elect
the Lieutenant.Goverro and congressman, and
have control OF the Legislature. c-.
The Grand Result.
The wen-inforlntd Washington CORE spondent
of the Baltimore sun, under date Of Wednesday
night, says:
The returns received here Of yesterdays elec.
tions show sufficient Democratic gains OF Con.
pressmen to give the Democrats ninety-one or
two members In The House OF the Forty-see0nd
Congress, being an increase Of nearly thirty over
the present House. With the estimate of gains
expected, but not yet received In the returGs from
Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee, 1t is thought
this: number will reach one hundred. Even II
there. should not be more Z. than 7 ninety
members they will destroy. the obnoxious
practice OF the present House by which
the Republicans, BY aI'two-thirds vote,
have been able 70 suspend the. rules
and pass measures by the same vote without
allowing debate. Much Vicious legislation MSS
been thus enacted By tfe dlctum OF party rule.
The military election bill. which has figured 30
prominently,' was passed by the House IN that
way, in defiance Of the protest OF the, minority:
There Will be, at least no such exhibitions OF
indecent haste IN legislation In the next Con-
gress. It is claimed here to-day that the result
Of the elections will insure o Conservative
organization of: the next House.. by which the
speaker, clerk, and the craftsmanship OF The lead
ing committees, can be secured. This, 1t Is said.
can be brought about BY coalition with the
revenue reformers in the Republican party elect
ed In the West.
