the result positively. The Republi-
cans claim to nave elected Pike in the
Second District and Blair in the
Third. and think jones. the Demo-
cratic candidate In the First District,

ted tie Governor, but the latest ro-
turns have reduced the gains so tia
mo election by the people seems noE
Improbable. The Legislature viii be
very close.
