The news from the late election come
as a great surprise to the people of the

tons anticipate losses.
THE STATE TICKET.
In Iowa Mr.. Mcfarland, republican,
is elected secretary of state by more
than 5000, as well as the rest of the

ity. The Des Moines Register and
Leader of this morning both claim the
state for their respective candidates.

Nebraska has elected Boyd, demo
crat, governor, owing to the fact that
republicans were divided. The prohib-

cured fourteen out of twenty-one con-
gressmen. Their gerrymahder of the

other six are FIVE alliance and one dem
ocrat. A democratic governor was
elected.
