cult to learn anything of the vote of the
state.
The additional returns from the state
with the large Republican plurality in
Milwaukee County, show that Mr..
Hoard's majority will not be far from
10000. The result or the Congressional
elections in Wisconsin is al follows:
First District, Caswell, Rep; Sece nd
District, Barwig, Dem; Third District,
La Toilette, Rep; Fourth District, Van
Schaick. Rep; Fifth District, Brick
ner, Dem; Sixth District, Clark,
Rep: Seventh District, Thomas, Rep;
Eighth District, Haugen, Rep; Ninth
politically is divided the same as two
years ago, the Republicans losing the
Second District now represented by Mr..
Guenther and winning the Fourth now
represented by Mr.. Smith, Labor. The
legislature is Republican by majority
of about sixty.
The Labor element has been entirely
eliminated from the Assembly, but re-
tains one representative in the Senate.
Assuming that Mr.. Kempf will obtain
the seat of the Fourth District, the SEN
ate will stand: Republicans, %; Demo
Gratis, 6; Labor, l Independent, l. The
Assembly will stand: Republicans, 70;
Democrats, 80. On joint ballot the vote
will stand: Republicans, 95; Democrats,
IS; Labor, l Independent, |.
ILLINOIS.
Eghty-six counties of Illinois includ-
ing Cook, give pluralties for Filler, 3d.
21S; Palmer, 81 ,355. The remaining six
teen counties in 1884 gave pluralities for
Blaine of 5,639, and Cleveland, 1856.
Assuming that Fifer will lose in these
sixteen counties in about the same ratio
as IN those reported, his plurality over
Palmer in the state will be about 1850.
1t is not believed his plurality can vary
LOCO votes from this figure.
CALIFORNIA.
The returns throughout California are
coming in very slowly, and as there are
no complete city or county returns, no
basis of comparison with the vote of
1884 is possible. Both the Republican
and Democratic State Central Commit
tees claim the state, the former by from
7,000t to 5000, while the Democrats con-
tend that the Democratic presidential
ticket will have majority of 1000 to
5000. The city of San Francisco has
been carried by the Democrats.
COLORADO.
The returns indicate the election of
the Republican ticket by majorities
ranging from 5000 to $4,000. The next
general assembly will probably be as
follows, Senate, Democrats g. Repub-
licans, 10. House, Democrats 10; Re-
publicans SO. Partial returns from
twentythree counties give Cleveland
5,044; Harrison, 1864 Congressman
Townsend (Rep. J, 1902; Macon Dem
4,749; governor, Cooper (Rep.) 6,946;
Patterson (Dem.) SIG.

Harrison, 102, 234; Fisk, 1882; Cleve-
lands plurality, 3,506; against IL ,11S in
1884. In the Fifth District the Repub-
licans claim to have elected Mudd to
Congress by plurality of &c.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Returns from every county in the
state show plurality for Harrison of
72,94S, a Democratic gain of SOL as
compared with the vote for President
in 1884. One Republican congressman
is gained.
Republicans have elected every
congressman but one by sweep
ing majorities. Weaver and Anderson.

iorities. The only Democratic congress-
man elected is Hayes in the Second Dis
trict.
