DOUBT ABOUT FROsT's ELECTION.
An error in counting the votes has been dis
covered which increases FrOst's plurality in the
4th district to 130. On the other hand rumors
I'LL the air this morning that a recount is to be
had in ward i've, the result Of which will ineyit
| ably elect Judge Abbott TO Congress. 1t is
claimed that certain individual managed to
have the name of Benz amin Dean, who WAS the
democratic candidate in the Sd district, posted
over that of Judge Abbott, and 125 such ballots
were cast Judge Abb0tt's friends are having
petitions circulated for a recount of the entire
district, and az the board of aldermen meet to :
day, the recouuttng will then probably take
| place.
The struggle In the 4th district, between the
friends OF Frost and Abbott, promises to be
lively. Ii is believed that Frost's election will
be maintained, though the Abbott party insist
that a recount will elect the latter.

DEMOCRATIC GAINS.
In the l1th district r. ID. Collins, dem, is
elected to Congress by from 900 to 5000 ma
Jorlty. In the 18th district w. w. Ketcham,
ley, DEM, is elected. Both districts In Ale
gheny county elect democratic congressman,
and the 2ith district elects Wallace, dem. These
three districts are democratic gains. The cleo
ton Of Powell, dem, is claimed in the 18th dis
rict, which will be democratic gain. The
estimate OF the Press comedies the democrats a
majority Of one on joint ballot, in the legisla-
rure, but thinks the result may be changed by
the Official returns. For Congressman it con-
cludes that the democrats have at least fourteen
and probably sixteen members of the twenty
seven.

SIX CoTsREssMEN CLAIMED By THK DINO
GRATIS,
The conservatives have certainly elected
Walker to Congress in the Sd district, Tucker
in the 9Th, harris In the 7th, hunton in the Sth,
and Terry in the 9th. The republicans elect
StOwell in the 4th. The LIST district is in doubt

ties. Returns from all the counties, except four

y. Ihe four counties not heard from, gave
ity: The prospects are that GoOde is elected.

democratic gain of 10000. This includes Sum
democrats were intimidated. Ii overcomes the
republican majority OF 1872, and leaves the
democrats 500 ahead. Thirty-seyen couDties
to hear from will increase the democratic ma
jOrity to 5000 or 5000, 1t being one Of the largest
votes ever poiied in the state.
CCNGRBssMRN KLECTED,
Harrolson lcolored), rep, in the LIST; Bradford,
dem., in the Sd; HAYS rep, in the 4th; Caldwell,
DEM, in the 5th; Hewitt, DEM, in the 6th and
Lewis aLd rorney, dem., for the state-at-large,
are undoubtedly elected to Congress. Williams,
Dam, in the I'd district is probably elected over
hApier by Goo or 700. All Of RapIer's strong
holds have been heard from, and he loses In
these 5, 900. This leaves Williams still 800 be-
hind, with his strongholds to hear from. Seven
counties yet behind will average 200 each gain
for Williams. This gives democratic gain OF
three Congressman.
Georgia.
THH ENTIRE DELEGATION DRMoCRATIO.
