The Triumph in New York
NEW YORK, November 5.-The Off
cial returns from the Congressional dis
tricts of the State will not be known
for some days. These, however, will
make no change in the results as re-
ported by the Associated Press last
night, unless Coombs, Democrat, be
elected in Brooklyn. New York's del
cation in the SD Congress, should
Coombs be defeated, will consist Of 20
Democrats and Il Republicans. This
just reverses the position of the two
parties as represented in the 5lst Con-
gress, where the Republicans have 20
and the Democrats II.
NEW YORK, November 5.-Returns
up to noon show that the Democrats
have elected 81 Assemblymen in this
State and the Republicans 50. Two
districts are somewhat in doubt, with
the probability in favor of the Repub-
licans. To secure majority on joint
ballot the Democrats require 6S, the
Republicans 81. AS the Republicans
have 10 Senators and the Democrats Is,
it looks, therefore like tie on Joint
ballot.

ATidal Wave in West Virginia.
WHEELING, W. Va, November
The indications are, up to t o'clock TINS
afternoon, that a Democratic tidal
wave has taken West Virginia in its
course, and that the party has made
clean sweep. Hubbard, Republican,
for Congress in the lst district, has
been defeated by fully 800 majority,
The district is Republican, but apathy
on the part of the party III Harrison
and Marshall counties-two Reputli-
can strongholds-did the business.
Their showing is q surprise to both
parties. Smith, Republican, for Con-
gress in the 4ih district, still claims his
election by small majority. The
State Senate will probably he tie,
which will prevent gerrimander OF
the State by the party having the ma
jority in the Legislature.

gains. The Republicans elected their !

this out. Secretary Steele, ofthe Dem |
ocratic State committee, claims the |
State for Dixon by 1000. Secretary

says Garter has received a majority of !
from 200 to 500.
