JACKSON, November 8.-With two districts
TO hear from, 1ilden's majority in Madison
county is 1853, Porter's majority, 1918. The
districts to hear from will increase the Demo-
cratic majority. The city of Jackson gives
Tilden sis majority and Porter 465 The
straight Democratic Legislative ticket is cleo
rted: A R. Reid senator, George C. Porter
floater, J. J. Boon representative. The vote
in the county is light outside of the city,
hence the falling off in the estimated majority
reported last night. Porter runs up close to
the national ticket, showing that Madison
county repudiates Dorsey B. Thomas and his
wicked attempt to sell Tennessee to the Rad
ical party The party organization in this,
Madison county, is perfect. Captain John
H. Freeman, chairman of our executive COM
mittee has done noble work, and he deserves
to be immortalized in the history of the party
IN Tennessee.

MISSOURI.

ST. LOUIS, November 8.-Only fifty of the
seventy nine precincts of this city have been
returned up to this hour a p.m.) These pre-
cincts give Tilden 1880; Hayes, II, 1896;
Phelps Dem. for governor, 10,229; Finkeln-
burg, Repub., l0,262; Thomas, Rep, for
sheriff, II ,122; Brown, Dem, 1888. The
first congressional district gives Ittiner, Rep,
3775; Kehr, Dem, 1857. Second district:
Wells, Dem, 3O36; Slayback, 1853; Cole,
Rep, 2275. Sixty-fivs townships in the
State outside of st. Louis give Tilden l ,0S6;
Hayes, 6392. Forty-fve townships give
Phelps, for governor, 1924; Finkelnburg
cratic by 1900 majority, and Livingston
county Democratic by 400 majority. Eighty
towns, precincts and wards outside of St.
Louis give TYlden Il, ,030; Hayes, 9ll6; sixty
four towns, precincts and wards give Phelps
S840; Finkelnburg, 6405. The vote of this
city is not yet counted, and but few Of the
county precincts have sent in returns. The
indications are that the county ticket will be
divided betwee the parties. The county re-
turns from the interior are as yet too meagre
to give anything like an accurate majority for
the State, but the probabilities are that it
viii reach forty thousand.
Unofficial returns give Anthony lttner,
Rep, in the first congressional district, from
SDUD 10 9UtO majority. 1nere are hepub-
Gcan gains IN the first district over Kehr,
the bOlter, and over Erastus Wells, both
present members. In the third district r.
g. Frost, Dem, is elected over L. S. Metcalfe,
Rep, by small majority. In the districts
outside the city the sixth is reported carried
by Havens, Rep, by 800 majority, and the
tenth by HaIlard, Rep, by 1900
majority, beating Debalt, present member.
One hundred and forty-two towns, wards
and precincts outside of St. Louis give Tilden
20,839: Hayes, 12,702. One hundred and
TWENTY-FIVE towns, wards and precincts
give Phelps 1859; Finkelnburg, 1896.
These returns come from all parts of the
State, and do not show the result in single
county No estimate has yet been made of
the congressional districts, not enough re-
turns having been received from any one of
them outside the city to give the results, al
though it can be perhaps safely stated that
the Democrats viii carrY all but one, or pos
