Latest returns leave the political
complexion of the lower house of the
Legislature still in doubt. One &C
count says that there are IL Democrats
and II Republicans elected, with one
district in doubt. 1t may appear
however, when official returns are re.
ceived, that one party or the other
will have decisive majority.
The official returns from Chehalis
county are as follows: Delegate
Bradshaw 6O4, Voorhees, 399; Prose.
cutting Attorney, Moody 100 majority

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer figures
the majority for voorhees, in Washing
ton Territory at 2,2O2. King county,
which includes Seattle, gave him 1915
majority. The changes that elected
Voorhees, were chiefly in Pierce and
Clarke counties. The former gave

the return of 1884, and the latter a
gain of 1,OO6 votes over the return of
the same year.
In Yakima county, C. P. Cooke,
Democrat, receives a majority which
will insure his election to the Council,
over s. A. Wells. Both gentlemen
were members of the last House. The
contest between Clarke and Goodwin
for Joint Representative is not yet set
tied and will not be until the official
vote is counted. The Democrats gain
the Prosecuting Attorney. The Pro-
bate Judgeship is very close.
The most remarkable change in
Washington Territory is in Clarke
county. Two years ago it beat Voor-
hees by 434 votes. 1t now gives him
400 majority. This change is due to
two CAUSES: First, the wish of the
people that the land grant of the N.
Z. X. r. lying along the Columbia and
obstructing the settlement of the
county be vacated; second, the action
of the Republicans in pushing prohi-
bition to an extreme that concentrated
the whole influence of the liquor trade
against them.
