Republican majority is 9,S54. This is a

estimates that the same proportionate vote
over the State as compared with last year
will make the majority in the State about
$4,000. In the Seventh Congressional dis
trict, Gilletter, the GreeBhack- Democrat
candidate, has s38 majority. with one
county to hear from, which will reduce
his majority to 600.

the Iowa elections: One hundred and
ten towns and fourteen counties give
Hull, Republican, for secretary of State,
1911 majority. Eighteen towns and
four counties in the Seventh district give
Cummings, for Congress, 4S4 majority.
Nine towns and five counties in the Eighth
district gives Sapp, Republican, for Con,
gress. 1857 majority. Thirty nine towns
and eight counties in the Ninth district
gives Carpenter, Republican, for Congress,
4,403 majority.
WEST VIRGINIA
Returns from Wheeling, w. Va, as far
as received indicate that Hubbard, Re-
publican, for Congress-, carries this county
by about 400 majority. This will leave
Wilson's DemocraD majority very small
in the district. Three out of the four
Legislators elected are Republicans. This
county has heretofore been soiidly Dem
ocra1ic. :. ,:,..
