EXCHANGING CONGRATULATIONS.
ALBANY, n. Y, November 6.-Gov
Hill telegraphed Governor Fitzhugt
Lee to-day his congratulations on the
Democratic success in Virginia yester
day, to which he received the follow
ing reply:
accept my thanks for your telegram
The old Commonwealth fought with
splendid success against the blandish
ments of the Administration of Wash
ington, some Cabinet officers and the
reckless exercise of Federal patronage
the oratory Of numerous Republican
Congressman and Senators from out,
side, and the grease poured copiously
on her soil from fat fried from the man
ufacturers.
"Virginia sends her congratulations
to New York. F1TzHUGH LEE"
THE INDEPENDENCE OF IOWA.
DUBUQUE, Iowa, November 6.-The
Herald has returns from 81 counties in
the State. These give Boies plurality
of $1,000. The remaining 81 counties in
1887 gave a Republican plurality Of
1l,29S. On this basis Boies already has
a plurality of 1882 in 81 counties, SC
that all gains in the remaining 80 coun'
ties will simply add to his plurality.
If the same ratio of Democratic gains
continues through the other thirty-twc
counties Boies will have a plurality in
the State Of 5000 to 10000. It is now
impossible to defeat him and his plu.
rality is only question of gains in the
remaining one-third of the State. Sc
far there is no county, with one or two
exceptions, but shows Democratic
gain.
In counties so far heard from there is
an average gain of 365 to each. The
majority Of Boies runs up to more than
5000. He is almost certain to take up
the balance of the ticket with him.
Dubuque County in full gives 1926
majority for Boies, and every man on
the Democratic ticket is elected.
Senator Allison is now badly fright
ened lest the Legislature may also be
lost.
The Register (Rep.l says: "Returns
from every legislative district show that
the next Legislature will stand: Senate,
Republicans %, Democrats 22: House,
Republicans 50, Democrats Al; doubt
ful l."
THE LATEST RETURNS.
DEs MONIES, iowa, November g.
Full returns from 95 counties, and the
remaining four counties estimated, the
same as two years ago, show thatBoies,
Democrat, has 1886 plurality. The Of
fetal returns will undoubtedly increase
this majority to about 1000.
The entire Democratic State ticket,
Lieutenant Governor, Justice Of the
Supreme Court, superintendent of pub
lie instruction and railway commits
sioner, is elected. The Republicans
claim the Legislature by eight majority
on joint ballot, but the Democrats do
not concede more than three.
THE JERSEY VICTORY GROWS.
JERSEY CITY, November 6.-Later
returns from various portions of New
Jersey indicate increased Democratic
gains. Leon Abbett's plurality for
Governor is now believed to exceed
10000. The political complexion of the
State Senateis still in doubt and hinges
upon Atlantic County. The Democrat
ic State committee is equally confident
Of the reelection of Senator Gardner.
The Assembly will consist Of SO Demo
Gratis and % Republicans.
