BoIEs CHOSEN.
DIES MONIES, Ia, Nov. Gov. Boies
arrived in Des Moines last night from
Waterloo and found the streets crowd
ed with excited people shouting for
him.
At the Register Office complete re-
turns from eighty-three counties had
been received at late hour, showing
a net democratic gain over two years
ago of 500. If the gain is kept up in
the remaining sixteen counties Gov.
Boies' plurality will be in the neigh
borhood OF 5000 gain of 1000 over
two years ago.
The returns on the other state officers
are scattering, and if Boies' plurality
is 8. 600. as it now promises to be, the
rest of the democratic ticket will be
elected by small pluralities The re-
publicans have some hope for Van
Houten. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., who is
running ahead of Wheeler in the pre-
cincts that have reported They also
claim Sabin, superintendent of public
instruction. The democrats claim the
whole state ticket is elected 1t will
take fuller returns than can now be OBJ
below governor.
In the lower house the republicans
have gained Audubon, Adair, Adams,
Boone, Decatur, Floyd. Poweshick and
Kossuth counties, while the democrats
have gained Marion, O'Brien and Sioux.
The parties were equally divided two
years ago and the republicans will
therefore have a clear majority. The
senate is conceded to be democratic by
one or two votes. The Farmers ALI
ance candidate, Westfall. for governor,
received Is, 600 votes in the state.
The alliance carried one county for
governor Monona, one for representa-
tive Montgomery. and the Montgom-
ery-Mills senatorial district
PennsvIvania.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. at midnight
returns from twenty-one counties, in
Guiding Allegheny, but excluding Phil
adelphia, show a net republican gain
for Gregg. republican, for auditor
general and about the same
for Morrison. republican. for state
treasurer. Philadelphia county re-
turns are coming quite slowly, but one
fourth of the wards being in at this
hour. These indicate, however. that
the republicans will carry the city by
about 90. 600 and the repu blican major
ity in the entire state will be less than
40, 900.
At 9 a m. the whole state has been
heard from. not a county missing.
Gregg, republican, for auditor general,
has SO, s33 plurality over Wright. dem
ocrat, and Morrison, republican, for
state treasurer. has Al, 467 plurality
over Tilden, democrat.
Nebraska
OMAHA, Neh. Nov. 5.-Returns from
Nebraska up to 1 o'clock this morning
are meager. The Australian ballot
has proved a hard one to count and the
result is that the returns are later COM
ing in than ever before, even in this
proverbially slow state. Rough esti-
mates made from the returns at hand,
including those from Omaha and Doug
las county, indicate that Judge Post
has carried the state by at least s, 600
majority.
OMAHA. Neb., Nov. 5-Sixteen coun-
ties out of ninety, exclusive of Douglas
and Lancaster. gave Post repu blican,
for supreme judge, Is. $50; Edgerton,
independent, Is. 1872 Lancaster county,
estimated, gives Post 1.SO0 majority
and Douglas county 5000 majority.
This indicates that Posts plurality in
the state will be over 1000
