i RICHMOND, Va. November 3.-The
weather is clear and cool. The election
is progressing quietly, although both
parties are working hard. At O'Clock
a number of precincts in the County
had pOlled over threequarters of the
registered votes. At several precincts
where the eolored vote preponderates,
long lines of voters w1re apparently
waiting their turn. 1t is probable that
when the sun goes down many will
have failed TO deposit their ballots. Re.
ports from other parts of the State
I indicate the polling of full vote. 1t Is
| generally believed that the aggregate
vote of the State will greatly surpass
that of last November. Associated
Press reports from here will be made
| from special kilograms from every
accessible point. and comparison of
| gains and losses be made with the last
election. when CleveIand's majority
was 6, HI. There are over 100 voting
precincts in the State and Republicans
will have to average a gain of FIVE in
each precinct to overcome that ma
jority.
WINCHESTER. Va. November 8
| Winchester gives Lee Is majority-a
| Democratic gain of SO over the Presi-
Dental vote last year.
| ALEXANDRIA, Va, November 3.-The
! election here is progressing quietly, and
alarge vote will be polled. The election
of Stuart, Democrat. to the House of
Delegates is assured. Several Repub
licans voted for Lee, and Massey has
been scratched by some Democrats.
Alexandria City gives Lee 604 major
i.y. Massey runs behind the ticket 81
votes. The Democrats carry every
ward in the city. Stuart. for the House
of Delegates, has sol majority and is
elected.
Alexandria County, outside Alexand-
ria City, gives Wise 123 majority. This
gives tho city and county to Lee by 4SI
majority. and to Stuart by 53S majority.
The Gazette says returns from all
parts of the State show Democratic
gains, and indicate that Lees majority
will reach 10000. Already i've or six
accessions have been made to the Demo-
cratic side of the House of Delegates,
and no losses are reported. Chairman
Barbour, from the dispatches received
by him, is confident the Democratic
majority will reach 10000. and in this
view General Lee. who is here. concurs.
Mr.. Barbour thinks the majority in the
Legislature will be fully as large.
LYECHBURG, Va. November 3.-ThiS
city gives Lee a majority of $50, gain
over last year of 2l5.
PETERSBURG. Va, November "a
dispatch to the Republican headauart-
ers from Norfolk to General Malone

q gross miscount. and two precincts be-
sides were shut out in.the fourth ward. )"
Culpepper county gives a Democratic
majority of from 200 to 225 and returns
a Democrat to the House. The re-
turns are coming in SLOWLY.
Shenandoah County will give a Dem
ocratic majority of about 100 and re.
turns a Democratic member to the
Legislature. Five out of six wards
heard from in the City of Richmond
show a Democratic gain of 81.

ing voting places in several of the doubt
full counties, show a net Democratic
gain of about 1 500.

The election in this State was for
members of the Legislature. The only
returns at the Cenrdnt Office at IL pm.
from all but four towns IN the State. I
show complexion that the next House
will be as follows: Republicans 129. De |
mo rats 10, Independents 2; the mis- |
sing towns will not materially change |
this result. The town of Marlborough !
Is a tie on representatives. Last year |

districts. Each party elects six. OF |
twelve Senators holding over. seven are |
Republicans and five Democrats, max |
rg the next Senate stand Is Repub- |

gives the Republicans q working ma
jority in both branches.
PENNSYLVANIA.
PaILADRLPHIk. November "A hssty
review of the voting throughout the
city this morning shows that the
polling is fully up to the average, and |
that less. scratching is being done than |
was expected. The Republican State

vote of the party. and there is no doubt 1
from ssthe present indications that /
Quay, Republican. for State treasurer,
will receive at least 10000 majority /
in the CITY. There Is some scratching OF
Rowan, Republican. for sheriff. The |
election of the rest Of the Republican /
