democratic majority was less. The re-

some losses in the interior counties
where gains were expected. The re-

Des Moines city is situated, behaved
very Handsomely.
The vote for the republican supreme

,Es ~ oIN-s, 49,, o.. - The
voting capacit OF Iowa has notably in
creased. This heavy vote has largely
swelled the republican vote of last
year, but the returns show an un-
doubted absolute gain by the democra-
cE This gain is rather meager in the
| river counties, while in some hereto
| fore republican strongholds the demo-
cratic inroad is something startling.
| The republican leaders declare that
Sherman will have about thirty thou
leaders claim more. The democratic
state committee admit Sherman's cleo
tion by 4 plurality of 5000 to 10000,
but claim the judgeship TO be doubtful.
Democrats generally eel we'll satisfied
with this outcome. and say it gives
them courage Tor next years struggle.
But little can be learned from the sixth
congressional district. hut suca pre-
cinctS as have reported show that Cook
Is massing the opposition vote. with
some prospect of his election over Stiles,
the republican nominee. The vote is
certain to be close, and no doubt the
contest will be adjourned 10 Washing
ton. Scarcely anything regarding the
next Legislature can be cleaned. A hot
fight was made on Ex-Governor Car
penter, but dispatch claims his cleo
tion beyond peradventure. while Mr..
Donnan, chairman OF the republican
state committee. will he elected sena-
tor by about half the majority he ought
10 expect. Heinsheimer, republican
nominee for senator in MONTGOMERY
county is probably defeated. In this
county. which gave republican plu-
rality OF 900 last year. the plurality
for Shelm man will be 1000 or 1900. of
which 700 will come from Des Moines.
The republicans will elect their county
ticket, but by much less majorities.
The latest returns show that heavy
rain has prevailed i'll the southeastern
! counties, and the dispatches show pro-
| nounced democratic gains, as notable
as any being in Mahaska county, which
| is in the sixth district. The democrats
claim gain there Of about 700. If this
is verified it goes far toward defeating
| Stiles.
Reliable news comes from Marion
county that 0. b. Ayers and B. T.
Keables, republican candidates for the
legislature, are defeated by the fusion
movement, and the county will be dem
| ocratic. Madison county, which lies
west, shows large gain for Kinne, and
probably elects Dabney, fusion, to the
| senate.
The o'clock edition of he Chicago
Times of Wednesday morning has the
following dispatches:
| COLUMBUS. o., Oct. 10.-At 2 Z. M.
the returns indicate the election of the
democratic state ticket by four or five
thousand majority, and of the legisla-
ture being democratic in both branch
es, with the vote on the pTohibitory
amendment close. Contrary to all ex-
pectations, the cities show republican
gains and the democrats hold their own
in the rural districts, due to the repub-
licans in the country sacrificing their
tickets for the amendment. While the
vote will be close, the democrats have
everything, and the republicans con-
cede that in submitting the prohibito-
ry amendment they armed the temper
ance element whose ingratitude turned
on them.
TOLEDO, o., Oct. 10.-Owing to the
great amount of scratching returns
from the city and county up to A. M.
are meager, but show that the demo-
Gratis probably elect their entire county
ticket by fair majority. The demo-
Gratis here claim the state by 10000 ma
jority on governor and nearly the same
figures on the rest OF the state ticket.
The republicans very generally concede
the loss Of the state, but claim large
gains in certain localities. The vote
for the second amendment, though
heavy, fell short of the anticipations of
its friends. Full returns will not be
in before morning.
TOLEDO, o., Oct. 10.-Returns receiv-
ed up to l o'clock this morning are
meager, but show that the entire DEM
ocratic ticket of Lucas county is prob
ably elected by. fair majority. The
state is still in doubt, but the democrats
are claiming it by 10000 majority on
governor, and nearly the same figures
on the remainder. Of the ticket. 1t
is pretty generally conceded that
the second amendment, while getting a
big vote, is very badly showed under
and that the first amendment may pos
sibly pass through by small majority.
