ci,ted Press Office here. The footings

Adding last years vote in these towns,
makes the Republican net gain 2, 1888,

ings from the First Congressional Dis-
trict elect Jones. Democrat, by 472
plurality. Bell, Democrat. in the Se-
oond District. by l54 plurality, and
Blair. Republican, in the Third Dis
trict, by 70 plurality. Estimating four
towns in Colo County not returned to
give the samo vote as last year, the
Republicans have q majority in the
House, but the exaci figures cannot be
given. They claim majority of from
six to twelve. The footings of the
several Senatorial Districts indicate
that they stand five Republicans, Eve
Democrats and two districts having
no choice, There is no election Of
Governor by the people; the duty of
selection will devolve upon tho Legis-
lature. which will doubtless elect Che.
nsy, the Republican candidate. The
Democrats claim majority in the
Council, though the districts have not
been figured sufficiently to determine
finally. The vote in the State, yester.
day, ls said to have been the largest
ever polled.
