these 81 districts which gave the Democrats
more than 1000 majority at the last election,
there are but six other than the 18th n. T.,
that had Democratic maj ority of 5000 and
upward. Qaigg's election was regarded as

Democratic claims it may be noted that they
predict the recovery of Qaigg's district.
There are 3S districts in which at the last
election the margins we're less than 1000.
OF these the Republicans carried Is, three
of which had formerly been. Democratic,
and the Democrats carried 20. These dis
tricts and their votes are as follows:
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1894-11-06

W. McIntire, Republican; Charles T.
Thomas, Democrat; Davis H. Waite, pes
emit incumbent, Populist; George Richard
son, Prohibition.
The vote of Colorado for President in
1892 was: Democrat opuiist fusion, 3d.
5S4; Republican, SO $50; Prohibition, 1857.
Delaware will elect its Governor, for
four years, and the Legislature, which
will choose United States Senator to sue
coed Anthony Higgins. The candidates for
Governor are: Ebe Walter Tunnel, Dem
ocrat; Joshua Hopkins Marvil, Republican;
J. Alexander Fulton, Populist; Thomas j.
Perry, Prohibition.
The vote of Delaware for President in
1892 was: Democratic, Is .5Sl; Republi-
can, Is or Prohibition, ZIG.
Idaho will elect its state officers for two
years, and the Legislature, which will
choose United States Senator to succeed
George L. Shoup, Republican. The can
ddates for Governor are: William j. Nc
Connell, present incumbent, Republican;
L iward A. Stevenson, Democrat; j. w.
Balenine, Populist; Henry c. Mcfarland,
Prohibition. The vote of Idaho for Presi-
dent in 1892 was Democratic-Populist fu-
sion, 10 $40; Republican, $500; Prohibi-
ton, 28S.
The election in Wyoming is of special in
terest inasmuch as it involves the election
OF legislature that will choose two United
States senators, the successors of Hon.
Joseph M. Cary, and Hon. Francis +.
Warren, both of whom are Republicans.
The vote in Wyoming in 1892 was Repub-
lean 1854, Populist 1922, Prohibition $50.
The Democrats had no ticket in the field
and voted with the Populists.
Aside from the above named states there
is little shadow of doubt as to the result of
today's elections. The South will
probably be KEEP. in the Democratic line, al
though the indications are that it will be no
longer "solid." There is good reason to
believe that the Republican representation in
SNSsASAA
the largest since the war. OF the remaining
states, California, Iowa, Massachusetts,,
Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska,
North Dakota, New Hampshire, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota,
and Washington, will, it is generally ad-
mitted, be Republican by largely increased
majorities.
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri,
North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas,
Virginia and West Virginia Will probably
continue in the Democratic column al
though in nearly all of them the Republic
cans " i'll make large gains.
The result of today's elections will every
where be awaited with interest, and we have
made arrangements to give our readers in
tomorrow mornings issue, the best pos
sible report of them.

The Republicans claim with feeling of
certainty two congressman from Maryland
AID some think it will be six. German
promises, however, solid delegation from
his state. The Democrlts claim that they
have overcome the detection of the sugar
men in Louisiana and will return a
solid delegation; also that the only
Illinois Democratic district likely to
be carried by the Republicans is
Springer's. New York Democrats as
sumo that they will carry all their dis
tricts in that state while the Republicans
claim gain of / districts. Chairman Faux
ner asserts with positiyeness that the
Democrats will have 20 majority in
the next House. Such claim, in
view of his partys, immense ma
jority in the last House, indicates the
radical change among those who voted in
1892 for bread and got stone. They are
extremely likely to vote in reality for bread
this time and for the party that assured it to
them for so many years. Hence that which
would otherwise seem impossible has be-
come probable. But sight should not be
lost of the tremendous significance, if the
Republicans should cut the great Demo
cratic majority in the House down to 20,
the figure set by Faulkner. As for secur-
ing Republican control of the next House,
the victory would mean more than could at
first be pretended; and there isn't any
valid doubt that with an honest count of the
ballots thrown today, North and South, such
a victory would be assured. Even as it is,
Republicans may reasonably hope for it.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1894-11-06

On the other hand the Democrats claim
that if the Republicans get majority of
one in the next House they will be obliged
to secure them as follows: From Califor-
nis, 8; Connecticut, 8; IDAHO, Illinois,
-; Indiana, I; Iowa, 8; Kansas, 4; Ken
lucky, 2; Maine, A; Maryland, /; Massa-
chusetts, ~; Michigan, 10; Minnesota, 81;
Missouri, 4; Montana, l.; Nebraska, 81;
New Hampshire, 2; New Jersey, G; New
York, 20; North Carolina, 1; North Da-
k,ta .; Ohio, 10; Oregon,2; Pennsylvania,
% Rhode Island, 2; South Carolina, l;
Tennessee, 8; Vermont. 2; Virginia, p;
Washington, 2; West Virginia, L; Wiscon-
sin, 8; Wyoming, l. Total, l79.
This the Democrats claim is impossible.
Neither party comedies the Populists more
than IL votes, and neither party claims or
acknowledges the election of a Populist
in the South. The Democrats claim but
eight congressman from Illinois. They now
have | from that state and the last Legisla-
tu.e gerrymandered it to ensure the election
of at least Is Democratic congressman.

Railroad Commissioner.
Richmond Bee.

The appointment of Mr.. Frederic Dan
forth to be railroad commissioner, is dis
tinctly one of high character, and is partic-
ularly satisfactory. Mr.. Danforth is a
civil engineer who is familiar with all the
details of railroad construction. He p1s-
sesses the judicial fairness of his honored
father, Judge Danforth, and has attained
the distinction now offered him solely and
singularly on his personal merits. 1t is
such appointments as this that have all
along characterized the present State ad-
