the state as far as returned show pluralities for
Cleveland of IS $50, and for Harrison Of 80, 147,

The Delaware Revolution.
THE LEGISLATURE REPUBLICAN ON JOINT BALLOT.
special to the Philadelphia Times says that
Kent and Sussex counties in Delaware have
given republican majorities ON the legislative
ticket and this gives the republicans a United
States Senator. Among the possible candidates
mentioned is Hon. George P. Fisher, who was
for many years judge of the District Court in
Washington. The democratic electors will be
elected by over 5000 majority. The vote on
the congressional ticket is similar to that of the
electors. Pennington, present democratic
member, viii be returned by 5000 majority.

mittee, claims 20, 900 plurality for Harrison in
the state and from II, 900 to A,OO0 for Fifer for
governor. Chicago complete and the rest of
Cook County, except two small townships,
which il is not thought will materially change
the result, give Cleveland 81, 100; Harrison,
q, 263; plurality for Cleveland Of 657. The
Cleveland, 60,609 q plurality for Blaine OF
S,642 1t 10 not thought that Harrison's plu.

Of Rifer below 1000.
West Virginia in Doubt.
West Virginia seems to be in doubt, the re.
turns 30 far received showing steady republi.
can gain. Fourteen counties out Of hfty-four
casting one-third Of the vote Of the state, show
republican gains of 1,662 II corresponding
gains are made in the rest Of the state it will
give 800 republican majority. At Charleston
the republican state and county tickets were
successful. The city gives Cleveland ma
tority, republican gain Of lis. The state ticke,
may be split. A Charleston dispatch says: II
u pretty well assured that the legislature will
be republican. The second and third districts
are In doubt. Both state committees claim the
election OF governor, and the fight is very close
Atkinson Is elected in the first Congress dis
tict by coo majority.
