in 81. Louis is so close that the plurality
either way will be insignificant.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. S.-Returns are coming
very slow, but all indications are that the
Democratic State ticket, as well as the
Democratic National ticket, is elected by
a plurality of 25,000 to 10000. The Re-
publicans claim to have elected one Con-
gresham, and that four more are in
doubt.

ST. PAUL. Nov. 8. - Owing to the
strength of the Farmers Alliance, and
the success of the Peoples party in the
State, Minnesota this year was one of the
fighting grounds of the Presidential
campaign. This was more so since the
Democratic leaders indorsed four electors
OF the Peoples party. All three parties
fought for seven Congressional Districts
also. The weather all over the State to-
day was clear but very cool, and so far as
reported the vote cast was the fullest ever
knbwn.
Ten precincts outside of the city give
Harrison 692, Cleveland 434, Weaver 80.
The fusion vote was hot given in all pre-
cincts, but three of these ten reported ISL
votes for the fusion candidates. The
same precincts in 1888 gave Harrison 800,
Cleveland 323.
ST. PAUL, Nov. S.-Seventeen precincts
outside of the Twin Cities give Harrison
9S5, Cleveland $50. The same in 1883 gave
Harrison 1895. Cleveland 623, net Re-
publican loss of I79.

WEST POINT, Nov. s. The Second
Congressional District, conceded to be
the only close district in the State, has
gone for Hardmoney (Dem.) by 1000 ma
jority over Frank Burkell, the Peoples
party candidate. The result insures
solid delegation in Congress and the Sen
ate, and for Cleveland by at least $1,000
majority.

Iowa.

DEs MONIES, Nov. S.--No disturbances
were reported curing the day, and indi-
cations point to an unusually large vote.
The weather was clear and cool, and all
parts of the State report an increased
vote. 1t is reported that the number Of
detective ballots in the city, owing to
ignorance of the Australian system,
reached 100 and the same proportion is
true of the State. 1t is likely to have a
large influence on the result The
chances are that all parties are affected.
Notwithstanding, the law is a success and
everybody is pleased, apparently, with
its workings.
Definite figures in the election are not
to be had tonight. Indications are that
the Eleventh District has given Harrison
a majority, and that Congres snlan Per-
kins has been reelected by the Republi-
cans. Sioux City polled about So per
cent. of the registered vote, and appar-
emily made a Republican gain. The
Australian ballot retards the count.
DEs MONIES, Nov. S. The St1tte Reals
ter claims Harrison will have plurality
of p, 900 in Iowa, and the Republicans
will elect nine or ten of the eleven Con-
gressmen and the entire state ticket.

be made with the vote of 1855. Pike
County, Cleveland 675 plurality, Re-
publican gain OF III.
The official count is progressing very
slowly, owing to the complicated ballot
and unusually heavy vote. On the State
ticket it is generally conceded that Lilly
and Major Mcdowell, Republican candi
oates for ssmen-at-large, and John
Dean, for the supreme Court, will be
given heavy majority. In Philadel
phla's five Congressional districts the
Republicans have carried the First, Sec
Ond, Fourth and Fifth. The greatest
interest was centered in the Third,
Samuel RandalPs Old district. Though
heavily Democratic, it is conceded that it
has been carried by the present incum-
bent, McAler, who was Endorsed by Re
publicans and Independents.
In Monroe County the Republican
gain is lii. Clearheld County. Cleve-
land about goo plurality, Republican
gain OF 90. Fulton County, Cleveland POS

HOMESTEAD, Nov. S.-The election alb
sorbed Homestead to-day to the exclusion
OF strike and all other matters OF interest.
The voting was not as large as in former
years, as many persons moved away. 1t
was distinguished by large amount of
cutting of both National and Legislative
nominees. The Republican ticket was
bolted by large number of locked-ou
men, and the Democratic leaders claim
the borough, but the Republicans don't
concede it.
PITTSBURG, Nov. Sat 11:30 P. NJ. only
a few scattering returns were received,
and no definite estimate can be made of
either Allegheny or Pittsburg Counties
vote.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. S.-Twenty nine

Allegheny or Philadelphia Counties, give

ality now is 1854. Tie Republican

INDIANAPoLIs. Nov. Sat the election
in Indiana to-day four parties, Republi-
cans, Democrats, Populists and Prohibi-
tionists, all had Electoral and State
tickets in the field. Two minor parties
also had candidates for Congress In each
district and county ticket in nearly
every county in the State. At the time
the polls closed indications pointed to the
largest vote ever polled in the State.
heturns by precincts will be compared
with 1880, while comparison by counties
will be upon the vote OF 1888. A compari-
son of precincts with 1883 would be inn
practicable, for the reason that the Aus
traliau ballot law nearly doubles the
number OF precincts. In 1890 tie Demo-
Gratis carried the State by plurality of

You're certain to be cured of it, or

They know that in your case there's

for a new quadrupleS telegraph instru-
