Republicans Have a Clear Majority
of $1,000.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3.-Further returns
from the various counties in this State came
in very slowly today. From what has been
received, however it can be estimated that
Quay (Republican) for State treasurer will
have majority of at least $1,000. with a
strong probability that that figure will be
Republican gain over the majorities as tele-
grsphed last night.
The Republicans carry Allegheny county
by 21s majority and elect the Legislative
ticket. Bath county gives 110 Democratic
majority.
vised estimates from the remainder give the
Republican Candidate for State treasurer
1861 plurality over Day. 1t is probable the
official returns VIA increase Quay's plurality
to 10000.

Supreme Judge Elected by the Re-

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 4.-The Republican
State ticket in Nebraska is elected by over
10000 majority, Amasa Cobb being elected
supreme judge.
OMAHA, Nov. 4--Returns come in with un-
precedented slowness and indefniteness, but
every indication points to the election of the
entire Republican ticket by majority of
from 1900 to $4,000. Ali the figures OBJ
tanned tend to indicate Democratic gains of
from 1000 to 5000. In many of the counties
the Democrats secure undoubted advances
over former years. There were half dozen
tickets in each county, and much scratching
all around. The prohibiticnists and anti
monopolists had tickets in nearly every coun-
ty, though their strength is slight, as whole
in the State.

among fruit growers that their trees.
vines and bushes had been damaged by
freezing. Well, the Union Horticultural
society, composed of members from Rock

cussed that very question. Cuttings of
grape vines and small fruit bushes and
trees were exhibited to show the effect of
the winter upon the various fruits within
