turns so far continue favorable 10 them ami
that although they have had some losses where
they expected to win, they have had more glinS
where they did not look for them. They claim
twenty-five out of forty senator's and

Will certainly have majority in both houses.
In any ASPECT OF affairs the most Sanguine of
the forcise readjusters admit that it is impossi-
bic for them to secure twC-thiTdS of the General
| Assembly, the proportion necessary to repeal or
| in any way modify the McCuloch bill over the
| Governors veto, This element will not In any
event have sufficient strength to affect the set
| tlement by any direct legislation, If they have
| the ma jority that is now conceded them the re-
adjusters, II Is understood Will remove most, il
| not all, OF the state officers elected by that
| branch of the government who are opposed to
| their views on the debt question. This coltem-
| plated decapitatlon embraces the first aud Sec
ond auditors, treasurer and all of the capitol Of
| ficerS, including the clerks OF both branches of
the General Assembly. This has been under
| stood to have been the programme OF that party
nom the opening of the canvass. This and the
election of a United States Senator Will be the
| greatest injury readjuSting legislature can BE-
able to affect. At Fredericksburg yesterday
| full returns received confirm the defeat of Gen.

very decided of the defeat Of the Rev. w. ".

| charge OF one of the principal churches in Balti-

MINNESOTA.
| Later adviceS and more careful compilation
| Increase the probable republican majority to

half the vote of the state give Pillsbury. Rep

man having lost about as many republican votes
| as he has gained democratic. his majority is
| about the average of the ticket 1t is estimated
that further returns will increase Pillsbury' S
majority to at least 10000. This is about 1000
| behind the rest OF the ticket.
CONNECTICUT.
| The city of New Haven went democratic
| Tuesday by the largely increased democratic
majority of 1000. The democrats elected two
| representatives, gain of one In place of one
| democrat and Dexter Wright the present re-
| publican speaker of the house.
| WISCONSIN.
Returns from the interior of the state are
| coming In slowly. Nearly all those received
| yesterday show republican gains. The indica-
tons are now that the republican state ticket is
elected by at least 25,OOO majority, the largest
| ever given in the state
| The complete figures for treasurer In Chicago
| give johnson Tep.) 22.644, Guertn DENY 1881
and Altpeter SOCIALIST 1912. Johnson's plurality
is 1861. In the county the vote Stood-John-
son, q, 1856. Guerin, 81 27S, and Altpeter. 4039.
Johnson's plurality is S10S and his majority
| 1909. The returns from the local elections
| UiIoughout the state show, a rule, little
| political significance, but where a straight
| larty issue was joined there are republican
| gains.
| MASSACHUSETTS.
| a petition has been filed for a recount of the
| votes for representatives in the 25th MiddleSeX
| district, Mass, where j. G. Pickman was de-
| Glazed twenty-three ahead Of Paul Butler, the
| generals son.
| MISSISSIPPI
| A telegram from fernando De Soto county,
| Miss says the election passed off quietly, and
| there was no contention uy either party until
| yesterday morning, when it was found that two
| ballot boxes were missing, and others are
| thought to have been tempered with. One of
| the missing boxes was burned and the other was
| found. The judges OF the burnt box made an
affidavit as to the votes cast, they having been
counted before, which was accepted. J. P. Wal
elected Senators. V. c. Watson, A. w. Huidle-
ston and A. S. Myers (dems.) are elected to the
| lower house. The parties were divided nearly
equally. The general impression now is that
the greenbackers will contest the election,
| claiming foul play.
dispatch from Jackson says: But II coun-
| ties are heard from. OF these II have elected
the straight democratic ticket with a majority
| of $500. Kinds and Madison require the Official
| count. Holmes is conceded to the greenbackerS,
| with the exception of a senator. Marshall
| county, considered a stronghold of greenback-
ism, elects the full democratic ticket by large
| maority. The election passed quietly, small
| vote was cast, ana unere was Out UUuie enInu-
| siasm except in counties where the whites were
| about equally divided.
| MARYLAND.
The returns from some OF the counties have
not yet been received, but sufficient is known to
| indicate the democratic majority to be from
| 1900 to 10000.

| A PROPHETIC DREAM.-A peculiar circuml-
| stance in connection with the death of Senator
| Chandler is the dream OF the coroner, Gen. o. L.
| Mann. On Friday night after hearing the
speech delivered by Mr.. Chandler, and being
deeply impressed with his manner, he dreamed
that he was holding an inquest over the body OF
