fine choir of musicians, there were also
literary exercises of a very interesting

Board, with Col MurrIn Chairman.
Col. L. Murrin, like all good and well
regulated Democrats, is constitutionally
opposed to the third term idea. But
when a first, second and finally a third
term as chairman Of the territorial board
of penitentiary commissioners is thrown
upon the colonel by political opponents
who insist upon his accepting the position,
he, like a good patrol, weakens in his
third term notions. This is what has
happened. The territorial board of peni-
Tertiary commissioners, consisting of Col.
Murrin, +. NJ. Foste, of Evanston, and
John c. Dyer, ofsRawlins, met yester-
day for the purpose of organizing for the
ensuing two years. At the earnest So
licitation of his colleagues on the board
both Republicans-Col. Murrin was for
the third time made chairman, a compli-
ment not only well deserved, but one
which has seldom been paid to anyone in
Wyoming, even by members of his own
political party. +. NJ. foote was chosen
secretary of the board.

MILWAUKEE, Nov. 3.
Returns from the State continue to come
in slowly. As yet nothing has been received
to change the estimate made last night. Gov,

The republicans elect Gov. Rusk by no less
than % 900 plurality over Woodward, dem
and it is probable that it will turn %, 600.
Chairman Taylor of the republican State
central committee places it at u 900. These
figures are based on returns from about five

this will be an increase of nearly 5000 over

CHICAGO. Nov.

CHICAGO. Nov. ).
Returns from points in Illinois are very
meagre. The republicans appear TO have
the advantage in the legislature, but the pos
sibility of the election of two socialist sena-
tors and several members of the House in
Chicago, places the political complexion OF
the new general assembly in doubt
A. VI. Jones, chairman of the republican
State central comnittee, estimates that 80
republican senators have been elected 10 the
State, with possible addition OF two more
from doubtful districts. Illinois" he saws,
has without doubt been carried BY the re-
publicans bv plurality of over $4,000. Civ
ing majority N both houses of the leglsla-
ture. The returns from MANY close and
doubtful districts indicate large republican
gains over the late presidential election and
IN almost every section of the State the re-
pubicans have made substantial gains"
In the second district, the contest between
Lawler, dem, and Gleason, lab. is very
close, One computation of unofficial returns
elects Gleason by $50 votes, while Lawler
claims the district by So votes.
The republicans claim that Gest has de-
feated Niece, dem, in the eleventh district
by 400, and also ASSERT that Gen. Post has
defeated Worthngton in the tenth district
Both republicans and democrat. claim the
election in the thirteenth district.
The vote in the 10th is very close. The
republicans have gained congressman in
the 2nd dis rict, W +. Mason, and one in
the 18th, Jehu Baker.
The 10TH llth, 18th and 10th are at pres
ent represented by democrats, and if the re-
publican claims, to carry three of them,
should be verified, the net republican gain IN
the State would be five congressman

State give Sawyer, rep. for governor. 81, :
423; Cogswell, dem, 33,l7S; Wentworth,
proh., 1873, Carpenter, greenb., Il.
The towns to hear from will increase Cogs-
wells vote so it will exceed Sawyers The
total vote of the State for governor will be
less than 60 900, falling off of nearly IA 900
compared with 1854. The result in the first
congressional district is somewhat in doubt,
with the chances in favor of McKidney dem.
although the republican State committee do
not yet concede Haynes defeat.
The council will stand to in the senate,
representatives Ia to TO- although there is
some doubt of choice in one or two districts
The house of representatives lead by good
working ms jority. This will ensure the cleo
tion Of Sawyer as governor and a repubi-
can State senator by the legislature In
Merrimac County the democrats elected
sheriff, solicitor, treasurer and three commits
sioners. The republicans elect register of
deeds and register of probate.
Returns from 254 towns and wards give
Sawyer, rep, for governor 81, ,603 Cogswell,
DEM, sc ,655. Wentworth, pro, and scatter
ing PIG. Only ten small towns remain to
be heard from. Majority being necessary
Sawyer fails of election br the people.
The vote in the First Congressional district
is very close with probabilities in favor Of
Mckinney, dem. The returns for represen-
tatives show 40 reps. and l4l dems., con
ceding democratic, the five not heard from
and it will make a republican majority of "a
in the House. This with their majority in
the Senate, will give them nearly 50 on joint
ballot in the legislature.

Sr. PAUL. Nov. 8.
II looks very much. this morning. as though
the democrats will elect 5 out of 5 Congress
men in the State, Steele and Olms,esd
counties in the first district, usually republ-
can, have gone democratic, making it probs-
bic that VIM. Williamson. dem, mas defeat
ed J A. Lovely. rep Ii is not likely that
McGilfs (rep.) majority for governor " ill
be less than 10000, AS most of the reliable
republican strongholds are yet to be heard
from. AT this hour there is nothing definite
known.
The republican State ticket has been elect
ed in Minnesots by from 10000 10 $4,000
majority. A. X. McGllfor for Governor runs
behind the rest Of the ticket somewhat A.
c. Rice for Lieut.. Governor will have about
25 900 msJority
In the lst Congressional district Judge
VIM. Wilson, dem, is elected This district
has heretofore been republican. Judge VIII
son succeeds Milo White.
In the 2d district John Lend rep, is elect
ed.
In the Sd dist Judge j. G. Mcdonald, dem i,
has beaten b. b. Herbert. rep.
In the 4th district the important returns
are still out. 1t seems pretty certain that
Major Edmund Rice dem, has defeated Gil
fallen, rep. candidate for re election.
In the 9th district knute Nelson, rep no
opposition. is reelected.
On the joint ballot the republicans will
have safe working majority in the State
legislature, though it is possible the farmers
alliance may hold the balance OF power. The
alliance vote has been one of the most seri-
Gus influences affecting the republican vote,
while larger than ever before in this State is
still too small to cut any figure except in iso-
lated districts. The bulk of il has come
from the democrats not in sympath with the
Lou license platform of their party. Ii is yet
too early to forecast the vote of the legisla-
ture on high license or L. S. senator.
