Ashland district, heretofore the bul
wark of Democracy, will be represent
d in the Fifty foulth Congress by Mr.
Denny, Republican. This will, how
ever, be due more to discretion OF
BreckinIidpa Democrats than to any
growth of Republican sentiment. In
Louisiana Democratic p(urslities have
be en- cut down to such an extent that
Republicans claim two Congressman,
whether upon good grounds or not the
official count will determine.
Tennessee Is all mixed up. There
are COL fiicting claims as to Congress.

material contest appears to be involved
in some doubt owlDg to serious defsc
tiops IN middle Tennessee. 1t can
hardly be doubted, however. that the
returns will show the election of Tur-
ney, Domocrar, by a safe plurality.
Down IN Texas the Republicans for the
first time have made fight with the
hore of winning, and as a result two
Congressional districts. the Tenth and
Twelfth are in doubt. In Missouri the
prevailing drift" is manifest 10 re-
duced Democratic plurslittes for the
State ticket and claims Of Republicans
that thev will gain one or two Con-
gressmen.
Mississippi appears to have the lone
some distinction OF standing hrm IL
the Democratic faith. She will elect
all candidates OF that party by practi'
ca)l7 normal maj >rities.
Montana has not been heard from
other than in q vague and indehnile
way. The people of that State are To-
teres'ed in the State capitol question
more than anything else, but such re-
turns as have been received indicate
the election of Hunt, Republican, for
Supreme Court Justice and II artman
of the same party for Congress.

SOME COMFORT FROM CALIFORNIA.
Sau Francisco, CAL, Nov. 7-Returns
received in this city up to ga. 10. do
not materially change the figures sent
out at 3 o'clock this morning. Budd.

Chair man Gould of the Democratic
State Committee claims that bis plural

Gcient to elect him, all indications point.
ing to q smaller vote for Estes In the
interior than was anticipated. Republl-
can managers concede the city to Budd,
but are hopeful that the coanty vote
will be large enough to overcome Budd's
city plurality. Budd's associates In the
State fight appear to have been sacr1-
feed in his interest. , 1t is apparent
that the Republicans have elected six
of the seven CongressmeD, Mcguire In
the Fourth District being the only De.
mocrat who will represent California
In the next Congress. Returns indicate
that the next Legislature will be r.
publican by a good majority.
ENTIRELY REPUBLICAN.
st. Paul, Mtnn., Nov. 7.-Neison,

nominee for State Auditor, ran consid,
ersbly ahead of bis ticket and 1t Is bare
ly possible he has won. Republicans
claim the election Of all seven Congress,
men but indications point to the cleo.
tion of Hall, Democrat, over Heatwole.
