Central Committee OF Illinois claims
tho Legislature by from six to ten on

licans, 1t rcverscs the delegation in

cans and Ii Democrats.

ty townships in Indiana show a net

y ears ago.

s,n il still II matter OF doubt. From

. ~,
Ohio: The meagre returns received
Mt the Republican, and Democratic
State headquarters indicate the cleo
ton OF fourteen Republican Con-
grcssmen. This estimate includes the
defent OF Mckinley and Foster.
Foster comedies his defeat, but both
parties claim Mckinley district. 4
special from Canton says there is
little Or nj doubt OF McKinley's de-
fat, but the Official count, however,
will be necessary to satisfy the Re-
publicans.
Missouri: Returns from the 9th,
9th, and 10Th Congressional Districts
in st. Louis indicate tho election OF
tho Democratic candidates O'Neil,
Cobb and Byrnes. Inc returns from
the State are measre.
Kentucky: Latest returns show
that tho Democratic Congrtssmen
Montgomery, breckenridge, McCrcury,
Stone, Ellis, Goodnight and Payntcr
arc reelected. The Democrats have
carried louisville and the Sixth Con-
gressional District, and tho Rspubli-
cans will probably carry tho Tenth
ind Il oventh Districts.
: Nebraska: Tho returns are still
mcagrc, but indicate the probable
election Of Boyd (Dom.) for Governor
by n small plurality. The complete
returns may possibly elect either OF
the three candidates, but tho large
Democratic gains in Omaha aud the
eastern end Of tho State give Boyd the
best chance. Tho Democrats gain on
the Congressional ticket McI{eigan
Eurely and probably another. Tho
election of Dorsey (Rep) in tho Third
District is not yet certain.

aud other interests entered into the
contest in North Dakota that tho re.
suit may not DO known this week.

Congressman, the State ticket and the
Legislature, bu; the figures received
arc more favorable to tho claim OF tho
Republicans.

Governor, is elected by an uncertain
plurality. The Legislature is slightly
Republican, woman suffrage is de-
fcated and tho capital has boon To-
cate in one OF two cities, Huron or
Pierre. The full returns will DO nee
essary to decide.
Minnesota: Governor Merriam's
24,C0 plurality OF two years ago has
been reduced 20 greatly that there up
pears to be q reason for tho DomO-
Gratis TO claim he has been defeated.
Tho Republicans arc claiming II ma
jority OF tho Legislature, but il is adj
mitted there is n possibility that Il
combination of tho Alliance and
Democratic strength might control
tbs next Legislature, and also ono
Congressman. Both the Democratic
nnd Republican parties claim every
thing possible.
Montuuu: Both parties claim the
3 election VI tho Congressional aud
State tickets by mnjoritios ut from 2OO
tob00.

Democratic delegation of six to Con-
ESess.

ton Of Bergen TO Congress from tho
