is 1854, and Judge Haight, for the court
Of appeals, has a plurality of 122,3l4.
The difference between the pluralities of
Mr.. Morton and Mr.. Saxton may be taken
as a pretty nearly accurate estimate of the
vote polled by Mr.. Wheeler, the democratic
party reform organizations candidate for
governor. This indicates that Mr.. Wheeler
received about 27,OO0 votes.
Mr.. Stevcnson's View.
Vice President Stevenson said last night
regarding the elections: MY opinion can
be briefly stated The result is due in part
to financial depression soon after the in
auguration of Mr.. Cleveland. While the
democrats were in no way responsible for
this. they were made the scapegoats 1t
was also in part due to the delay of Con-
gress in passing the tariff bill Had the bill
become law ninety days earlier than 1t
did, 1t is quite probable that the business
conditions of the country would have so
adjusted themselves that the political re-
suit would have been different"
The Montana Capital Fight.
Both Anaconda and Helena claim the cap
ital of Montana, but conservative judgment
gives 1t to Helena by 1000 majority.
Close Alabama Districts.
Alabama returns indicate that many of
the congressional districts are closer than
the meager returns at first indicated. In
stead Of a solid democratic delegation to
Congress, the republicans and populists are
claiming three seats. benson, In the sew
enth district, may be defeated by a popu-
list, Howard.
Holman In Doubt.
Last nights advices were to the effect
that Watson has carried several of the
democratic counties over Holman in the
fourth Indiana, but 1t will take the official
count to decide who is the winner.
Doubtful i'm Nebraska.
Advices received at Omaha yesterday af-
ternoon gave Majors 0ep) a slight major
ity over the fusion candidate, Holcomb.
When the Holcomb counties commenced to
be heari from, the Majors figures dwindled.
Later the official returns gave Holcomb a
plurality of from GOO to 500 in sixty three
counties The republican committee re-
fused to make a statement. The rest of the
state ticket was claimed by the republicans
anywhere from 5000 to 1900.
A Chance for Turney.
The democrats will have a safe majority
in the Tennessee legislature, and the cleo
ton of a democrat to the United States Sen
ate is assured. The republicans claim that
Evans, for governor, will have a plurality
of about 5000.
This has not been conceded by Chairman
Carroll of the democratic committee, and
last night returns indicated that there were
still bright prospects for Turney.
Budd May Bent Estee.
There seemed to be no doubt last night
that California had gone democratic so far
as the sovernorship is concerned, but the
state would probably elect a republican
lieutenant governor and most of the other
state officers. An almost solid republican
congressional delegation is assured, and the
legislature will be republican on joint bal
lot.
Utah's Legislature Close.
Unofficial returns from Utah, which will
not be materially changed by the official
count, show that the republicans will prob
ably control the constitutional convention.
The territorial legislature will be close,
with the balance of power in the hands of
the populists.
Still Mixed I'm Washington.
Returns from Washington are still in
complete, but it is generally conceded that
Hyde and Doolittle reps) are elected to
Congress. Republican supreme court judges,
Gordon and Dunstan, are probably elected
The result in the legislature is indefinite
but 1t is claimed generally that the re-
publicans have lost their majority in the
house, with chances of the democrats and
populists combining on United States
Senator.
New Mexico Legislature Doubtful.
Partial returns from New Mexico indicate
the election of 4. e. Catron, republican
for delegate The legislature is In doubt
the chances being favorable for a republi-
can majority.
The Michigan Legislature.
Out of a possible hundred and thirty two
members of the Michigan Legislature the
republicans elect one hundred and twenty
eight, with four districts to hear from.
