1t VIII remain close to 1907" The Times
estimate on the democratic majority in the
next house of representatives is l51. The
Sun claims even: a more extraordinary
majority, its figures giving the democrats
100 majority. Following are the returns
from the various states and territories:
NEW YORK.
In the election in New York city, Grant,
democratic, has been elected mayor by
about $4,000 majority over Scott. and
other Tammany candidates by about 20, 600.
Returns from the city congressional dis
tricts show eight democratic candidates to
be positively elected. Returns so far in
the state give the election of Is democrats
and 10 republicans.
Returns received at republican and de-
mocratic state headquarters indicate the
election Of fourteen democratic congress
men. This estimate includes the defeat
Of Mckinley in the sixteenth district, and
Foster in the eighth. Foster comedies the
election of Hare, his opponent, by 100
majority. Both parties claim the six
teenth district
WISCONSIN.
The fight in this state was mostly over
the Bennett law the Catholic and Lutheran
clergy taking leading part in the contest.
The democrats claim the election of Peck,
for governor, as well as the entire state
ticket, and the republicans think Heard is
reelected by s, 200 TO TO-, 900 majority. The
legislature is republican and Senator
Spooner will be reelected. In the con-
gressional contest the republicans claim
the election of three candidates to the
democrats six.
ARKANSAS.
A special from Little Rock says that in
dications point to a heavy vote and large
democratic gain. Arkansas will send an
unbrolIen democrat delegation TO congress.
MASSACHUSETTS.
RUSSELL democrat, elected governor by
nearly 10, 600 plurality. Democratic state
ticket also elected. Four republican and
five democratic congressman have been re-
turned, with three districts yet to hear
from.
KANSAS.
The official count will be necessary to de-
eide whether Willets, farmers alliance can
didate for governor, or Humphrey, the re-
publican candidate, has been elected or de-
feated. The vote is very close, with indi-
cations in Williets' favor, with most of the
western counties, where the farmers are
in majority, to hear from. The farmers
alliance has elected beyond doubt w. A.
Baker its candidate for congress in the
fifth district, and contributes to the election
of Moonlight, DEM, in the first whose
election is conceded by something over
1000 majority. The republicans are sure
Of two congressman, with other districts TO
hear from.
MISSOURI.
In jackson county, in which is included
Kansas City, Tarsney democrat, is, elected
TO congress by over 5000 majority Re-
turns from the third district indicate the
reelection of A. M. Docl1ery. democrat,
and from the eleventh the election of r. Z.
Bland, democrat, by 1000 majority.
KENTUCKY.
1t is reasonably certain that out of Ill
congressional districts in Kentucky 10
have gone democratic by increased ma
iorities. The eleventh is in doubt.
TEXAS
1t will be some days before official re-
turns Of the election arc received, but it
may be assumed that the democratic state
ticket is elected by something like the
usual large majority, including full demo-
cratic or independent delegation to CON-
gress.
Indications point to the election. of ten
democratic and two republican congress-
men, with one still in doubt. Democrats,
claim the state ticket by l6, 900 majority.
IOWA.
The returns indicate plurality of 4, 600
to 10, 600 for the republican state ticket in
Iowa. The democrats are claiming the
election of their ticket, but the republicans,
are holding to the state and now have a
barb wire fence around considerable por-.
ton of it,. The returns so far received are
mainly from the towns and city wards, and
the probabilities are that the country towns
will show increased gains for the republi--
cans. Congressman Henderson, Struble,
Hull, Flick, and Deliver are surely
elected. Thedemocrats have elected Hayes
in the second district. The democrats,
have gained four congressman.
MINNESOTA.
Tho gubcrnatoral vote is very close i'm
Minnesota. Twenty-three counties, give
Merriam. rep, 22,G45; Wilson, dem..
%, LIS, and Owen, alliance, 6.S0S. This
does not include Hennepin county lNIin-
nRapolis), which gives Wilson 1000
plurality, nor Ramsey county (St. PAUL.,
which gives 1900 plurality for Wilson
The democrats are claiming the state.
The alliance vote does not cut so great a
figure in the counties yet to be heard from.
Snider rep, is defeated by Castle, dem,
for congress, in the fourth district; o. M.
Hail. DEM. defeats ID. s. Hall, rep, in the
third district, and Harries, DEM, wins
over Duunell, in the first distniot.. The
fifth and second districts are doubtful.
MARYLAND.
The indications are that a solid demo-
cratic congressional delegatiGS. will 30 re-
turned from Maryland.
