RICHMOND, VA, Nov. All but
eleven counties III the State have
been heard from, but it is impoSSi
BILE to give Tonight the total vote
for Governor. as most OF The re
turns only give majoritieS. From
what has been received, and estl
mating the counties not heard from
Lees majority will doubtless reach
10000. The Democratic gains, as
far as reported, are nearly offset by
Republican gains. In the south
western counties the Democrats
made small gains. Heavy Demo
cratic gains, however, appear i'll all
tue counties haviuga large colored
population. Tie Legislature, sc
far as known, stands: House-69
Democrats, 20, Republicans; IL not
heard from, but nearly all will re
turn Republicans. Senate-3C
Democrats, 8 Republicans; 1 not
heard from probably Republican,

RICHMOND, VA, Nov. 4.-IIatel
returns received today and tonight
from the election Of yesterday beau
ont the Indications of an over
whelming defeat of Malone given
in these dispatches last night. The
complexion of the Legislature will
be: Senate, Democrats 30, or three
more than two thirds; House of Del
egates, 60, or two more than two.
thirds. The Democrats may III
crease Oh these figures from few
counties pot yet fully reported.
At midnight indications are that
Lees majority will be over 10000
sure. Many of Mahone's colored
strnngholds in the black districts
give decisive Democratic majorl-
ties. Some of these have been car
ried by Malone i'll every contest
Slnce 1879. Notably among these
is Louisa, the home Of Mr.. W. G.
ELAN, the editor Of the Richmond
Wing, Mahone's organ. That coun-
" has never failed TO return a Ma
hone member OF the Legislature,
and was last year carried by Blaine
by go majority. All analysis Of
The returns indicates that M;lhonc
maintained pretty well the vote
gwen Blaine last year i'll most Oi
Ihc counties OF the white sections
OF the Southwest and Valley. His
heaviest losses were i'll the black
counties.
The Democrats carried every col
ored county secured by them in the
contest for The Legislature i'll 1883,
When Malone declared that the
culored voters had been overawed
by the effect vi the Dauvllie riot. In
addition to the negro counties that
gave Democratic lnajGrities i'll that
light that party yesterday elected
members vi the Legislature ill Car
cline, Prince Edward, Gloucester,
King William, Cumberland, and
very probably III buckingham. The
Democrats elect Ii members OF the
House of Delegates from counties
which give decisive colored majorl
Ties, beside one or two Senators,
by the aid gwen them by voters OF
the same race. The assistance OF
these voters goes far towards fur
nlshing much of the majority ST.
cured by the Democrats III the low
er branch OF the Legislature. 1t is
believed by many that this element
of the strength Uf the Republicans
III this State will III tue future cut
loose from that party, III State al
fairs at least. Tie Democrats made
good gains yesterday III the white
sections 9th Piedmont aud eighth

The returns show that the ne.
groes in the black belt broke away
from Mahone, and many Of Them
supported the Democratic candi
dates.
The Democrats carry Halifax,
Charlotte, FllyanDa, King William
King aud Queen, Southampton and
Isle of Wight, all colored Counties
ln PowlIatin and several Other
couuties The colvred majority was
greatly reduced.
Gloucester, which last year gave
Blame 100, goes lor the Democrat
ic candidate for the House by
majority.
The Democrats made a splendid
gam i'll Petersburg and they ale
proud of it. Think of it,! Il Demo
cratic gain of 629 votes at The
home Of Senator Malone, under
the very nose ol the boss.
Louisa county, the home of w.
G. Elan, editor Of the Richmond
