AsUsUAL THE OLD DOMINION.
RICHMOND, Va, November Ire.
turns have been received from about
one half of the State, but the figures
are of such character that it Is I'M
possible to give them with accuracy.
| If the same ratio of gains for the Dem
ocratic ticket continues to prevail in
the remainder of the State the official
majority will probably reach 10000.
There is no doubt that the Democrats
have carried at least twenty out OF
twenty five senatorial districts and
have probably elected eighty-fve out
of or hundred members of the House
of Delegates. Chairman Ellyson OF the
State Democratic committee, places the
Democratic majority at not less than
25,OOO, The secretary of the Peoples
party practically admits that OFer-
rail- is elected, but says he comedies
nothing and that if the Democrat s
have carried the State 1t has been done
by fraud. Col. O'Ferrall from present
indica'ious will probably run behind
his ticket some 5000 votes.

licans claim the State, and the returus
indicate that their claim is we'll found

to noon, a large vote had been polled,
but no disturbance had taken place

have been stopped on the streets and
had their weapons taken from them.
Sheriff West is not at his office and
persons are hunting for him to call the
military into action. A company OF
troops in charge of Capt. George 5.
West is ready to move at moments

PENNSYLVANIA STICKS.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov, THE indi-
cations are that in this city the vote
was light. Returns from the interior of

a personal encounter between Farrell

such point and the excitement be-
came so great that the election board
was compelled to close the polls.
THE CHICAGO JUDICIAL ELECTION.
CHICAGO, Nov. AT midnight 1t
looks as though the Republicans had
elected the entire judicial ticket. The
great interest has been over the cleo
tion of Judge Gary, who presided at
the trial of the Anarchists. At the
time Governor Altgeld partloned the
Anarchists he made severe attack up.
on Gary, and the fight has been one of
Gary against the State machine, with
the result that Gary seems not only to
have poIel the full Republican strength
but to have drawn the Democratic vote
as well. In almost every precinct in
the city and the county he was from 5
to 10 per cent ahead of the balance OF
the ticket. The results show decided
Republican gains over the Presidential
election of year ago.
