Yesterdays Election.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. from re-
turns received this morning it Is be
lieved that the democrats have car
ried nine of the ten districts. Tucker,
democrat, of the 10th, claims 1000 ma
jority over Yost, republican. Walker,
republican, of the Ninth district, claims
that he has defeated Morrison, demo-
crat, but the democrats do not concede
this.
New YORK. Nov. This morning
the returns indicate that the republic
cans will gain six U. S. Senators over
the number now sitting in that body.
Three of them will come from States
which have now but one Senator apiece,
owing to the failure of the Legislatures
chosen two years ago to elect-Montana,
Washington and Wyoming. The other
three will succeed democrats now rep
resenting in part their respective States
Martin in Kansas, Mcpherson IN
New Jersey and Camden in West Vir-
ginia. The Senate at present consists
of s. members divided Democrats, A;
republicans, Sc populists, 3; silver, ?.
With the changes now apparent the di-
vision among the parties will be: Dem
ocrats, Al republicans, 40; populists, 8;
silver, 2. The congressional dele
CATION which stood Is democrats to 10
republicans in the SD Congress will be
90 republicans and democrats in the
54th Congress. The proposed consolida-
ton of New York and Brooklyn, Staten
Island, aportion of Queens and West
chester counties has been carried by a
big majority.
New YORK, Nov. Mot since war
times have the republicans swept the
eastern States as they did at the polls
yesterday. In the six New England
States there is apparently only one
democrat elected to Congress-Fitz-
gerald, of Boston. New York has FIVE
and Pennsylvania two, q total of eight
democrats out of 100 members. In
Connecticut and Delaware big re-
publican gains have been made. In
West Virginia William l.. Wilson,
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee, has been defeated. In New
Jersey the State legislature with the
exception of four democrats appears to
have been captured by the republicans
and Mcpherson will be succeeded by n
republican in the United States. Sen
ator Camden, of West Virginia, will
also have republican successor. The
next Senate as we'll as the House will
be republican.
CHICAGO, Nov. In the west, the
northwest and on the Pacific coast the
republican landslide seems to be over
waelming, and in the southwest re-
publican gains are reported of such
magnitude as to suggest almost revo-
luton. The only exceptions to the
rule appear to be in California and
Nevada. In the former State the dem
ocratic candidate for Governor is appa-
rently in advance of his republican
competitor, although the republican
Congressional ticket seems to be certain
of election. In Nevada in six of the
seven districts the silver party elected
its State ticket and the Congressman.
There is also an element of doubt in
Nebraska, where the election OF Majors,
republican, over Holcomb, populist
democrat, is by no means assured.
Ohio has given the largest republican
majority in its history. 1t is thought
that the official returns will show re-
publican plurality of 10000. Colorado
has elected full republican ticket aud
both Congressman. Kansas has return
ed to the republican faith and Jerry
Simpson is showed under along with
the other populist candidates. In Wis
consin the republicans have elected the
State ticket and out Of 10 Congress
men. In Illinois the congressional del
egation has been turned over almost
bodily to the republicans, VIM. NJ.
Springer going down with his party.
The city of Chicago, too, has cast o.
600 plurality against the democrats.
The legislature is republican on joint
ballot, complete reversal of the polit-
ical situation. The Indiana republican
State ticket will have from 10000 to
$4,000 plurality, and the victors will
gain four Congressman. The election
of Holman is more than doubtful.
Minnesota is republican by 10000 to
10000 plurality. In Michigan the
entire congressional delegation will
be republican. The same may be said
of Iowa, although the democrats have
a prospect of saving one congressman
Hayes-in the Second district. The
State of Washington is republican by
9,OO0to 10000 plurality, including the
congressman. Idaho's contribution to
the landslide is $500 plurality and the
congressman from that State. North
Dakota has endorsed the republican
ticket by 1000 to 5000 plurality and in
the territory of Oklahoma the republi-
