No Ohcial Reports of the Result of tho
Election Yet Received from Any of tho
States-West Virginia Still Claimed by
Both Parties.
The latest estimate on the plurality for
Fifer for Governor of Illinois is 5000.

gain over 1884 of 246 per cent and over
1886 of 10 per cent If the same rate of
gain is sustained in other counties the to-
tai vote in the State VIII be about 10 O0O.
Both parties claim West Virginia-the
Democrats by from 500 to 1000 majority,
and the Republicans by 800. It is said the
latter have secured the Legislature ad-
United States Senate. The Republicans
claim to have gained one Congressman.
The official result in Virginia is not yet
known, but Democratic majority of 4. COO
for Cleveland will probably be shown
when the count Is finished.
In California additional returns on the

sons plurality is {, 2s4. For Governor there
Is no chocie. The Legislature being Repub.
lican. however, will choose Goodeu.
Full returns from Oregon have not been
received but sufficient figures are in to

In Washington Territory John B. Aliens

THE FINAL VERDICT.
General Bon Harrison WIN Is the
Next President.
Democrats Have Apparently Lost jontrol
Of Both Senate and Houso-Wod Vlr.
glnis Breaks Away from TIL
Solid South.
:HE LATEST RETURNS.

The result OF tho National electon has
not been changed in effect by late 4turns,
except that the addition Of the electoral
votes OF West Virginia to the Republican
column is indicated, the Republicans
claiming to have carried the State tr Har-
rison, to have captured the legislature
and to have elected all the Congresmen.
The late returns from the Congressional
contests show that the Republicans have
secured full control of the Nationl Gov
eminent, increasing their majqity in
the Senate and establishing majority
in the lower House. The Legislature Of
Delaware Is Republican by on
joint ballot, which will result in he cleo
ton of q Republican United States
Senator to succeed salisbury AMI in the
retirement of Secretary Bayard to private
life for time at least. II the Rpublic-
ans OF West Virginia have secured the
Legislature OF that State, as cl.imed, q
Republican successor of Kenna will he
chosen.
In the lower House Of the present Con-
gress the strength of the parties is: Dem
ocrats, 1863; Republicans, 1853; Ildepeu-
ents, 4. The returns so far received in(i-
cate, granting doubtful districts to tie
Democrats, that the lower House
of the Fifty-first Congress Will
stand: Republicans, 166; Democrats,
159; Republican majority II
Z. 1t seems likely that the Republicsn
majority will be increased rather than
diminished. Several Congressional dis.
tricts are very close and it may requirs an
official count to determine who is elected
in them.
The net gains of the Republicans are:
California, l.; Connecticut, l; Iowa, 2;
Louisiana, /; Maryland, L; Michigan, 2;
Minnesota, 8; Missouri, 2; Nebraska, l;
New Hampshire, /; Ohio, /; Pennsylvania,
l; Tennessee, l; West Virginia, l. The
Republican losses are: Indiana, g.; Ken.
