cox, for the State senate, 29th senatorial

RICHMOND, November 9.-Petersburg,
Cameron's home, gives Daniel, 1167, Came
| ron 2171, Democratic gain of 207. At 1:30
a. M. 125 voting precincts gave Daniel 49,
324, Cameron 18, ,3S9 Camerons majority
65. These precincts show net Democratic
gain of 1882. One hundred and twenty
precincts which only report majorities give
aggregate maiorities of 6628 for Daniel and
1910 for Cameron. Daniels net majority,
so far as heard from, is 1858. The Demo-
Gratis claim to have gained twelve members
of the legislature and lost three, net gain
| of nine. The returns received include
nearly one-third of the vote of the State, as
suming that the total vote is about the same
| as in the last Presidential election.
/ The returns this morning are of the same
general tenor as those of last night, show
! ing slight additional gains for Daniel, Dem
ocrat, for Governor, but still leaving the
result in doubt The Democrats, however
claim to have gained five more members of
the legislature, and lost one, making the
net gain to this hour (11:30 a. m. 13,
which neCessitates n further gain of two
to give majority on joint ballot.
The Readjusters are ooffdent that
their State ticket is elected, They es-
innate Cameron's majority at $4,000 10
| 20, 600. As to the legislature they claim a
good working majority on joint ballot
Further returns received at the Dispatch
Office up to p. m, reduce the Democratic
gain in the legislature to IL, which leaves
the Democrats short of a majority on joint
ballot. The gubernatorial vote is still too
meagre to justify positive statement. At
the Office of the Wing, a Readjuster organ,
| the full and estimated vote from 40 counties
and cities, which cover one third OF the
State, indicate only 200 loss to the Read
justers, based on the last Presidential vote
| e-Republican's gains for the Readjusteis
in the southwest will overcome this loss.
The Readjusters claim that these figures in
sure the election of Cameron by from 1900
to 1900 majority.
| The States, Democratic newspaper, Gays
| this afternoon that Cameron viii probably
be elected by 5000 majority.
