Inmates of the result in the State. At
eleven O'Clock the Democratic Committee
stated they had reports from sixty-six out
of lightweight counties in the State and
their gains were over 5000, leaving Re-
publican plurality OF about 1900. Some
of the strongest Democratic counties had
not vet been heard from, but the Repub-
lican plurality will be about u 0OO. They
concede the election 10 Morey, Republican,

election of Saltzgaber, Democratic, in the

be had from either district for some time

plurality of $4,000 for Harrison. The State
ticket is but little behind and the Railroad
Commissioners are not scratched as badly
as was supposed. The Republican candi-
dates will all be elected. Republicans
have elected every Congressman but one
by sweeping majorities. Weaver and
Anderson, two Independents in the last
Congress, are both defeated by large
majorities. The only Democratic Con-
