deed. The telegraphic returns up to the
hour of going TO press seem 10 indicate that
five governors is the Republican sum total
for the entire Union.
Illinois-Republcans scratching in all quar-
tiers Of the State and everything in doubt.
Observation-Disclosures democratic ey-
erpwhere. The notorious Crisp is probably
elected to Congress.

claim $4,000. VIM. Whiting, Republican, is
elected to Congress in the Eleventh district.
George ID. Tibenson, Republican. is elected

State.

cisls to the Consultation indicate full Demo-
cratic delegation 10 Congress. Speer and
FELTON,. Independents, are both defeated.
Washington No:es-Senator Gibson tele-
graphs that Hunt and Ellis, Democrats, are
elected to Congress in Louisiana, and pros
pect good for the entire democratic delega-
ton.

to Malone in Norfolk, Petersburg, Lynch

defeated by 20 900 majority.

special dispatch received here this fore
noon, reports that the men charged the polls
in various precincts in,Richmond, and re-
fused TO allow voters who are in arrears for
captation tax TO vote. Warrants have been
sworn out and great excitement prevails,
which il is feared will result in disturbance.
The election passed OF quietly with the
exception of the excitement incident to the
arrest of several election judges. An at
tempt was made during the day by the read
justers and coalitonists to vote on the capt.
tation taX-receipts signed by two collectors
of delinquent taxes. Judge Christian, of
hastings court, instructed the judges of cleo
tion TO refuse the votes signed by but one.
The United States supervisor of election ar
rested the judges and they were taken be-
fore United States commissioner and bail
ed. a compromise between the United States
commissioner and judges followed, and the
votes were received on both receipts under
protest against one. This delay caused many
votes 10 be lost, as the polls closed while a
large number were waiting to vote. John
Amber Smith, ,coalitionist conduct at the
polls.
lowa-The weather is fair and bright here
and so far as reported from all over the State
the indications are that there will be light
vote. J. W. Green, chairman of the Repub.
lican central committee, comedies the cleo
ton of Murphy, Democrat, for Congress in
the Second district, and estimates his major
ity at over 600.
Tennessee-The vote OF this city indicates
the election of Casey Young, Democrat, TO
Congress from the Memphis district by 400
majority.
Connecticut-The vote will be very close
A light vote is being poled. The Republic
can loss is much greater than the Democrat
ie. The Democratic State ticket and three
Congressman are probably elected. Waite,
Republican, is undoubtedly elected in the
Third district. Ten towns give Buckley .
12S, W aller, 2,22S; republican loss of 443.
Waller, Democrat, is elected governor by
1900 majority. The Republicans lose two
Congressmen.
MISUNDERSTANDING returns from the
State show large Democratic gains over the |
vote of last year. Pattison has undoubtedly
carried this city, and will have plurality Of
over 10000. Post, Democrat, is elected to
Congress from the Fifteenth district. Bea-
yer's plurality in Allegheny county is esti- |
mated at 1000.
California-The election in this city is a
very quiet one. with an average vote. Ow-
ing to the length of the ticket and bad ar
engagements for gathering returns, nothing |
can be certainly known of the results to-
night. There is much scratching, and prob |
ably some viii be elected on both tickets, |
but the commonly received opinion is that
the democrats have majority of from two |
three thousand on the general ticket. Re-
ports from the interior indicate full vote. |
1t is believed that the prohibition ticket will |
have about five thousand votes in the state |
at large, and this, with the detection from
the republicans on aectount Of the Sunday |
law is likely to give the state TO the demo- |
Gratis.
Arkansas-The FIRST district gives $40 ma |
jority for Dunn, congressman, and $40 for \
Breckenridge, congressman at large. The |
Third district OF Little Rock, one ward, I'M
reported, gives Benjamin, republican, for |
congress, - majority; Breckenridge, dem
oerat for congress at large, by majority. |
The other ward is estimated at 300 10 400 re-
publican majority.
Maryland-The indie ations are that Stew
art, Garry and Phelps, independent candi-
dates for judges, will be elected over the
regulars. Hoblitzell, democrat, has been
elected to congress from the third district.
The fourth district is still IN doubt.
lndiana-The election is proceeding quiet
by, and indicates that very full vote will
be polled. A large amount Of scratching
has been done on both sides.
Scattering returns from few precincts in
this state shows small republican gains on
the vote for secretary of state over the vote
for governor in 1850. Pee.e, republican, for
congress in the indianapolis district, is
probably elected over English. Since the
lsat state election the voting presincts have
been divided in all the larger townships and
wards, making it difficult to get correct
comparison.
New Hampshire-0ne hundred and fifty
towns give Hall, republican, IA ,90S; Edgerly
democrat, 1908 scattering ALL. The same
places in 1880 gave Bell, republican, II Az
Jones, democrat. Il 1929; scattering 1888. The
republican net loss is 627.
Louisiana-Hunt, democrat, in the First
district; Ellis, democrat, in the Second dis
trict; King, democrat in the Fifth district;
Heron, democrat in the Sixth district, and
Blanchard, democrat, in the Fourth district,
are elected to congress. The Third district
is still in doubt
North Carolina-Dowd, democrat, in the
Sixth district Vance, democrat, in the
Eighth district Scales, democrat, in the
Fifth district, and probably Robbins, demo-
crat, in the Seventh district. are elected.
