Indiana are claimed by both parties !;
New Jersey by the Democrats by 1000
majority. and Virginia by the Republic
cans by 5000. The figures given below,
compiled from dispatches to the dailies
of yesterday, show the situation at the
! time they went to press;
COLORADO.
Returns come in slowly, but enough is
known to ensure majority for Blaine of

indicates 1000 to 200 for Blaine.
KANSAS.
The Champion claims the State for
Blaine by over 10000 plurality. The
vote for st. John was insignificant. The
complexion of the Legislature will insure
the return of Il Republican United States
Senator.

close and both sides claim the victory.
The fusionistS elect congressman in the
first, fourth, sixth. seventh and eighth
districts. all Democrats. The Republic
cans elect congressional candidates in
the second third and ninth districts. The
fifth district is still in doubt, but there
are strong indications of the election of
a Democrat in the eighth district. Horr's
district is still undecided. Later returns
indicate the election of the State and Ma
tional Fusion ticket, but later figures may
alter this. The Democrats claim the
state. The Republicans also claim the
state by clear majority.
