say, returns received at Madison, Wis.

have decidedly changed the complex

created considerable excitement. The
Democrats claim their whole ticket has
been elected, Taylor's majority being
small, and that of the other candidates
larger. The Assembly is claimed by
both parties. 1t is undoubtedly very
close. The Republicans still claim
Ludington's election by about three
thousand majority. Further returns
are awaited with much anxiety.
