KNOCKING OUT GOFF'S AMBITION

The official returns from all the counties
in the First Congressional District, except
or three and the estimates made in the
remaining equities show that Goff7s ma
jjOrity will be about jil.
In the Second Congressional District,
the returns are yet too meagre to place the
result with any degree of deinitcness. But
the indications are that Wilson's majority
will be about 800.
In the third district Synder has been
losing heavily in most of the counties,
but weighing the figures so far received,
his majority will probably be 1000.
In the Fourth district, the figures indi-
cate that ITogg's majority will range from
800 to 1,5OO, though the Republicans
claim that if elected his majority will he
much smaller.
THE LEGI5LArCRE
Below will be found the status of the
Legislature of this State, which, although
only estimated in several instances, will
not vary over two votes, if that, when the
returns are all in and counted Where
blanks occur with the letter X after
it, the county is known to be
Democratic, but the name of the
candidate is not yet at hand. 1t will be
observed that our estimate gives the Dem
Ocrats nine majority in the House and two
majority in the Senate, Even if this be
reduced in the House it still leaves work
ing majority on all important party meas.
