cans have a majority on joint ballot, which
elects State officials, but there are twenty
two districts to hear from. Three Republic
can Congressman are reelected: Reed, IN
the First District, by 1900 plurality; Frye,
in the Second, by 5000, and Lindsay, i'll
the Third, by 5000. Ladd, Democratic
Greenback, is elected over Powers by $500,
in the Fourth District. The Fifth District
is still doubtful. Waldo county gives
1 8 0 plurality for Murch, while Washing
ton. as far as heard from, gives LOO plu-
rality for Hale. Hancock gives 1,700, and
Knox $50, making Hale $50 ahead. The
result depends upon towns in Washington
not heard from, which will go against
Hale. but as Washington towns are going
Democratic rather than Greenback, so far
as received, they may save Hale by going
for Morton.
The Railroad Companies Want More
Time.
WASHINGTON, September IL.
The Union and Central Pacific Railroad
Companies have not yet determined
whether they will recognize the constitu-

at the last session Of Congress, and have
asked for more time to consider the sub
iect. French, the auditor Of the railroad
accounts, after consultation with Schurz,
has informed the officers of the roads
above mentioned that he sees no good
reason for granting them further delay,
and if the reports which have been de-
manded OF them are not speedily fur
nisled, the matter will be placed in the
hands OF the Attorney General, in order
that he may institute legal proceedings to
recover the forfeitures prescribed by law.
