RICHMOND Va, Nov 6.-Returns from the
interior counties of Virginia have come in
slowly, but enough are now in to show an un-
expected and surprising result in the State.
The regular Democratic ticket, which carried
the State four years ago by $4,000 majority is
strongly pressed by the Republicans over
whom the majority will be SO small as to exceed
little il any 10000. The Republicans but for
the small independent or readiuster vote must
have carried the State. The returns from all
but seven counties give the straight-out Dem
ocratlc electoral ticket 81 900 votes readjuster
Democratic electoral ticket $1,000 votes, and
the Republican ticket 1900 votes. Jorgen-
sell and DeZendorf, Republicans, elected
TO Congress, the former by largely increased
majority, reaching nearly 5000, which is the
heaviest ever given in any district in the
State, nearly 1000 Democs ats either voting for
him or refusing to vote against him. His vote
is very LARGE Including nearly the whole reg
istered vote of his district. Paul and Fulker
son, readjuster Democrats, are elected over the
regular nominees of the Democratic party and
are claimed as Republican gains. Besides this
1t is probable that owing to irregularities the
seats of one if not two of the regular Demo
Gratis will be contested by their readjuster OPP
ponents, the ground of contest being the re-
fusal to receive the votes OF many persons who
had paid their capitation tax as required by
law to officers appointed by legal authority,
but whose authority to appoint special collect
tors to receive taxes was questioned by Demo-
cratic judges of election.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.-The latest count
made by the Republicans last night, after cor
recting their tables by official returns from
several counties makes Garfield AZ ahead, and
the Republicans now think their ticket will
pull through but it will take the official count
| to determine the result.
Another despatch says that on the returns
from al the counties except Del Norte, which
| is estimated the same at the last Presden-
tial election, Hancock has a plurality of Sc
votes, with four precincts to hear from. These
are not expected to change the result. Pach-
co.'s election is doubtful by the latest figures.
The Republicans are quite certain of one
elector as Judge Terry on the Democratic tick
ct is kno vn to have been scratched.

naming three precincts in 1876 gave 43 Demo
| cratic majority.
| Several Towns and wards elect Representa-
| tiyes regardless of the law, SO far as numbers
| are concerned, evidently aboring under the
| impression that they had right to elect ac-
| cording to the census of 1880 without any ac-
| ton of the Legislature or waiting for the CEN
sus to be officially announced
