gle in for several. days yet; the general

hcans have elected governor Rusk by

ward, democrat, and it is probable that it
will run up to 2500. There are republic
an gains in all but a few counties of the
state. The legislature will have repub-
ican ajority on joint ballot of % over
the democrats aud labor representatives,
The senate stands twenty-five republic
ans, seven democrats and one peoples
party, and the assembly ffty-seven re
publicans, thirty-sl1 dem. and peoples.
The peoples party representatives will
probably act with the democrats. The
republicans lose three assembly seats and
gain a like sumber in the senatorial dis
tricts. The congressional delegation will
probably stand republicans, l democrat
and l peoples party, though the first is
in doubt.
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 3.-The republicans
have gained the Second, Gen. Bragg's
old district, where Delaney, dem, is de-
feated by Guenther by at least 5000.
Guenther has heretofore represented the
Sixth district in congress, and is still
resident of the latter. The majority of
Hudd, dem, in the Fifth, has been slight
ly reduced. In the Fourth, Milwaukee
district, which has been represented by a
republican, Henry Smith, peoples party
candidate, has $500 plurality. If Caswell
is reelected in the First the republicans
gain one and lose one. The democrats
lose one and the peoples party secure
one congressman.
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 3.-Latest estimates
place the tolal peoples party vote in the
state at 25,900, of which $4,000 is in this
county and the rest is divided between
Racine, La Crosse, Eau Claire, Oshkosh,
Chippewa Falls and Marinette, outside of
those cities its vote is confined to few
hundred. The prohibition vote is now
estimated at 1000. This is $500 more
than Hastings received for governor in
1884 and 5000 less than kanouse polled for
the same office in 1882. The returns to-
night assure the election of Caswell (rep.)
in the First congressional district by 500
majority.
