NEBRAsKA.-The latest returns show John
A. McSbane, Dem, for Congress in the first
district elected by over $500 majority over
Church Howe, Rep. Returns incomplete in
dictate reduced Republican majority on the
State ticket, due mainly to the nomination of
Church Howe for Congress in the first dis
trlct. The majority for the State ticket may
reach 10000 Republican.

the Democratic State Committee give the
Democrats majority of two on joint ballot in

claimed by the Republicans. McAdoo has a
plurality of 1900 for Congress in the Seventh

40 of these g We Republican majorities aggre-
eating 20,095, and three give Democratic ma

Congressional districts, also Legislature by
small majority.
CoLoRADo.-From meagre returns indica-
bicho aiC thap "a DCiiis, hao bCCh SlCtb Cu
Governor by small majority and possibly
Reed, Congressman. On account of the great
amount of scratching the returns are coming
in slowly.

Republican, majority of 30, insuring the cleo
ton of a Republ can United States Senator;
Lounsbury for Governor and other Republi-
can State officers. No change in Congress.

Ames' rep, 12l, 900, Andrews, DEM, Ill ZOO,
Lathrop, prohibtionist, 5000, giving Ames a
plurality of 1900 with thirteen towns missing
These will swell Ames' vote. The Legislature
probably stands, Senate, 26 Republicans,
twenty-four Democrats. House, Republicans,
154, Democrats "a, with six districts to hear
from.
MICH GAN-Close estimates on the election
in this State place the Republican plurality
at 1900. This is based on the vote of two
years ago, while the reports so far received
show general Republican gains which would
increase this figure. AS the returns show
gains when compared with a much larger
vote there seem to be grounds for the claim of
the Republican Committee to 10000 plurality.
Omo-h close estimate of the Republican
majority IN the State place sit at between 49,
900 aud 1900, according to the latest returns
there are only two Congressional districts in
the State which may be classed as doubtful,
the seventh and Fifteenth. In the former
Campbell. dem, has an unofficial majority Of
81; in the fifteenth Monroe county has not
been heard from.
WIsCoNsIN.-Though returns from rural
townships will continue to straggle in for
several days yet, the general result is no long
err in doubt. The Republicans have elected
Gov. Rusk by not less than %, COO plurality
over Woodward, Democrat, and 1t is probable
that it will turn $4,000. There are Republican
gains in all but few counties of the State.
The legislature will have Republican major
ity on joint ballot Of twenty-nine over the
Democrats and labor representatives.
MrNNEsorA.-The entire Republican State
ticket has been elected by majorities Of from
10, 900 to 1900. On joint ballot the Republi-
cans will probably have q safe working major
ty in the State Legislature, though 1t is posi-
bic that the Farmers Alliance NAV hold the
balance of power. 1t is probable that McGil's
majority will not be over 10000. He is run
ming behind his ticket Additional returns
strengthen the probability that the Demo-
rats have carried the Third and Fourth Con.
gressional districts.
DELAwARE.-Bigges,D Dem, for Governor
has majority in the State of 5000 over Hof-
fecker, Pro. Republicans took but little part
n the election. The Democrats elect every
hing, including Legislative ticket, which Sc
cures the reelection Of Gray to the United
States Senate.
MARYLAND.-Five Democratic and one Re-
publican Congressman have been elected.
PENNsYLvANIA.--Latest figures for Penn
'ylvania give Beaver plurality over Black of
10, O0).
KENTUcKY.-A dispatch says that Speaker
Carlisle is defeated by $50 majority. Another
dispatch leaves Carlisle majority of64. The
,flicial count will probably have to decide it.

Democratic delegation to Congress from Louis
ana.

election Of the entire Democratic
ticket. All are members Of the
Forty, n nth Congress except G. b. Kilgore Of
