IOWA.
Later Returns Cut Down the Re
publican NdajOrities.
Special to the GLOBE.
DEs MONIES, Ia, Nov. 4.-The outcome
OF the Iowa election seems to be just the
same as two years ago, so far as returns go.
The total poll is substantially the forecast
given in the GLOBE on Monday. 1t is larger
than two years ago, when the southeast
corner OF the state Was deluged in rain. Sem
ator Larrabee, according to fuller returns
tonight is elected by 5000 to 5000 ma
jority. 1t may run less than this, but
hardly more. Senator Whiting has done
well to hold him down to this point, for the
governor elect is well known, and has
record open to criticism only in legitimate
way. Capt. Hull for lieutenant governor
and Judge Beck reelected, will each
be LOCO ahead of Larrabee, which is in
measure the effect of Sherman's illegal eX-
pulsion of Auditor Brown from office, and
makes his prospect of ultimate redress more
dubious than ever, for Larrabee, if he
chooses, can ignore him as cavalieriy as the
Republican convention did. The Republi-
can party seems yet to be carried i'll the re-
gency's vest pocket. Not quite, however.
for in Polk county, where the party looks
for precept and direction, Mr.. Whitney
has cut Blaine's majority in two. showing
that close inspection of the refuge method
does not add to its following. Another les
son has been taught in the defeat OF Judge
Baylies, by J. II. Henderson,
independent Republican, which is
that county with numerical
strength over another cannot always
trespass unfairly on the inferior cou nty's
cOmplaisance. The lower house is retained
by the Republicans by from one to four ma
jority, which. like the governorship, is,
as two years ago, Republican. For
the upper house, Senators Graves.
Bills and Rothert. license Republicans,
are succeeded by license Democrats.
In the Boone-Story district, safely Repub-
lican, Gov. Scott is defeated by Jordan,
Democrat. The prospect now is that the
elected this year, leaving ten Republican
majority in the senate and majority ON
joint ballot OF twelve to sixteen.
JOY AT DAVENPORT.
Special to the Globe.
DAVENPORT, Ia, Nov. 4.-The Demo-
Gratis this evening are jubilant. Their big
publican majorities throughout the state
are giving them hope Of a possible Demo-
cratic victory two years hence. For three
years past the Republican majorities
have been sinking lower and lower.
So weak has the Republican party become
over carrying the prohibition question on
its shoulders that prominent Republicans
are becoming discouraged and refuse to eX-
plain why there is such falling off. The
Germans, of whom Scott county
has large number. stood by
their promises and voted the Democratic
ticket straight. In another year or so the
regency of Des Moines will be dead insti-
tuition. The Democrats in this county
elect one senator, two representatives,
auditor, superintendent and sheriff. The
Republicans elect their treasurer. The
maiorities ranged from 80 to 2, 1862. Whit
ing receives 1850 majority.
A LATE REVIEW.
DEs MONIES, Ia, Nov. 4.-Up to 1890
D. m. the State Register has completed re-
turns from seventy-one of the ninety-nine
counties in the state and pretty definite re-
turns from four others, and partial from all.
The returns cut the Republican ma
jority on the state ticket down to 5000.
Final returns may vary this a thousand up

Fusionists 80, Independent Republicans 1,

licans and 10 Fusiouists. Official returns

two. Of "a senators elected this year, Re-
