CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-Complete returns from the
third congressional district give Farwell (Rep.

Gratis claim, however, that one precinct of the

The Tribune this morning gives the COM
pletion Of the next Legislature as follows:-
pendents 3; House, Republicans 67, Democrats
GA, Independents o.
The Inter. Ocean says that it seems likely
that the opposition and Independent Reformers
combined will have majority of one in the
Senate. Two of the districts, from which no
returns have been received, are doubtful, and
may have elected Republicans, in which case
the majority will be Republicans. The returns
from two-thirds Of the legislative districts show
a net loss to the Republicans of II in the lower
house, but it is probable that they will retain a
majority in this branch, and also majority in
joint, should joint session become necessary
at any time. Thus far it appears that Ridg-
way, Republican, is elected state treasurer.

New YORK, Nov. Ga Savannah special to
the Times says that Col. Bryant and Major
Whitley in the first and second districts, re-
spectively, are both counted out by Democratic
frauds, which will be fully exposed as they will
both contest the seats. Frauds in the first dis
trict can be easily exposed, and even a Demo-
cratic House cannot refuse to seat Bryant. In
Chatham county, which has 10000 voters, the
Democrats abolished all the precincts but one,
thus DISTINGUISHING thousands of Republicans.
Out OF 5000 Republican voters in the county
only about 1900 voters were polled. In Burke
County Cne Jokes were StuHed by Dem0cra attic
managers, who will be prosecuted in the
United States Courts In Scriven county the
precincts casting heavy Republican majorities
were thrown out.
