fifth, sixth and eleventh districts
Ohio.
The returns came in very slowly from Ohio,
the necessary slowness in counting the blanket
ballots making the reports unusually late, but
from all points comes news of republican
gains. The indications from these returns are
that Harrison has carried the state By 1000.
s. NJ. TAYLOR, republican candidate for secre-
tary of state, defeats ". A. Taylor, democrat,
BY the same plurality.
At 10 pm. the democratic state committee
ard W. A. Taylor, democratic candidate for
secretary Of state, conceded Ohio to Harrison
BY not less than $1,000. 8. II. Taylor, repub-
lican candidate for secretary OF state, claimed
that the republican plurality in the state would
be 30 600 Full returns indicated the election
Of ten democrats and eleven republican eandi-
dates for Congress. although both committees
claiming the election OF their candidates in
the ninth and sixteenth distSicts. Poorman,
republican candidate In the sixteenth, tele-
graphs that he is elected, and Ashley, repub-
his own defeat.
At Pam. the republican state committee
withdrew from headquarters. Chairman Dick
claimed the state by rs, 900 and the election of
fourteen republican Congressman, the defeat
of Hodge being conceded. Gov. Mckinley
gone republican BY from % 900 upward. This
estimate was based on returns from 369 pre-
cincts outside Cincinnati and Cleveland, which
give net republican gain Of 1877, or five TO a
precinct
South Carolina.
With the possible exception Of the seventh
district South Carolina returnr q solid demo
cratic delegation to Congress and chooses nine
Cleveland electors. The congressional dslega-
ton will stand az follows: ], W. II. Brawley IRE
elected; 2. ". Jasper Talbert; 8. A. C. Latti-
mer; 4. George W. Shell (re-elected); s, I. j..
Strait; 6. John l.. McLaurin.
In the seventh district the candidates are
Gen. T.. ". Noise (dem. and q. W. Murray col :.
(rep.). The district has q very large colored
majority. 1t is Represented in the present
Congress By William Elliott (dem. }, who re-
ceived 3, 700 votes against 100 cast for two re-
publican contestants. 1t il quite possible that
Gen. Noise NAV secure the election, thus max
ing the delegation solid. as now. -
Georgin.
Returns indicate that Georgia will ssnd a
solid democratic delegation to tie next Con-
gress.
Third party candidates were run in every
district, but we're showed under. Speaker Crisp
is reelected by an increased majori.:. The
delegation will stand NJ follows: /. Rufus Z.
Lester (re-elected); 2. Benjamin T.. Russell: 8,

BY the apportionment a new district. the
eleventh. has been created and Messrs. Russell
and Turner, both members of the present Con
gress from other districts now represent the
second and eleventh. respectively The present
delegation stands nine democrats and Mr..
Watson. who was elected as democrat. but
went over to the third party. The new delega-
ton Ia eleven democrats. Cleveand's majority
in the state will be quite large.
Nebraska.
At midnight returns from Nebraska were
fraSmentsry, owing to new election law and
poor method Of counting. Figures then re-
ceived indicated that Weaver would carry the
state by a few thousand On governor the
result was very doubtful Morton, democrat,
develops unexpected strength. Van WICK, in
dependent, not so strong among laboring
classes In Omaha as expected. For Congress
BRYAN, democrat Of first district. is reelected.
although the district is republican. In the
second district the race is very close between
Dosn, democrat. and Mercer, republican. Par
tial returns now favor Doan. The third con-
gressional district is close and in doubt, the
three candidates running almost even. in the
fourth republicans will elect Hainer. In the
fifth democrats and independents viii elect
McKeishan. In the sixth Independents will
elect KEN. The legislature will be about 40
per cent republican. 40 per cent independent
and 10 per cent democratic.
At a. m Chairman Blythe Of the republican
committee claimed the state BY 20. 900, and the
election Of republican Congressman in all but
the second district and possibly the FIRST. Chair
man Fullen of the democratic committee prac-
ticslly conceded the state but said the 200 pre-
cincts heard from are too few upon which to
base an estimate.
