ity over g. X. Hamilton. dem. John
Il. Fitzgerald, dem, is elected to con-
gress in the ninth district The repub-
licans carry the other IL districts.

Connecticut Elects Coffin Governor,
New Haven, Nov. TT is known
that the republicans have carried the
state on their state ticket by from
5000 to 10000. Coffin is elected COVER
nor. Besides this they have gained
three congressmen-Henry in the 1st
district, Sperry In the I'd, and Hill in
the 4th Russell in the Sd was safe be-
yond peradventure. This makes the
entire delegation republican.
Illinois.
Chicago, Nov. THE returns are
coming in slowly, owing to the heavy
vote which was polled and no one
can give absolutely correct estimates
on the result of the election in this
state but everything points to a com
plete victory for the republican forces,
largely increased vote for the popu-
lists with little hope for the democrats
anywhere. 1t is now certain that the
republican state ticket is elected
by a big majority; that the republi-
cans have elected majority of the
Cook county commissioners and that
they will have a majority in the state
assembly. They have also elected a
number of congressman If not most of
them. The republicans with a few ex-
ceptions say they have won signal vic
tories everywhere by increased majori-
ties Wulff, republican candidate for
treasurer it Is claimed, will win in the
state by at least 20, 900 majority. The
populists polled a vote in Cook county
of $4,000 and 1t is to them many demo-
Gratis are inclined to attribute their de-
feat. 1t is certain that nearly all this
vote was taken from the democratic
party.
Wisconsin.
Milwaukee, Wis. Nov. THE repub,
licans OF Wisconsin have carried the
state by over $4,000 plurality for Gov
ernor Upham and their state ticket.
d. c. Wall. chairman of the democratic
state central committee has just ad-
mitted this and has given up all hopes.
The republicans have made gains in
almost every voting precinct while the
democrats have lost votes so that they
are down to the populistic votes in the
cities. The county of Milwaukee dn-
cluding the city, will give republican
plurality of from 1000 to 5000 and the
election of Often. republican candidate
for congress in the 4th district is prob
able. The republicans claim the cleo
ton Of eight, and probably nine, con-
gressmen.
Virginia.
Richmond Va, Nov THE returns
thus far received from all parts of the
state indicate that the democrats have
carried every district. The 9th is the
most doubtful but the democrats claim
that Otey is elected. In the I'd and 4th
districts the democratic majorities will
be very small. The Walton election
law, used for the first time, seems to
have given perfect satisfaction to
everybody but the populists, who are
inclined to blame the new law for their
defeat. The fight throughout the state
has been between the democrats and
republicans, the populists not being in
the battle at all.
Maryland.
Baltimore, Nov. 7.-Marylands solid
democratic front has been broken and
the republicans have made unprece-
dented gains in every direction. 1t is
certain that three republican congress-
men have been elected-Baker in the
I'd district, Coffin in the 5th and Wei
lington in the 9Th. The democrats car
ried the Sd and 4th districts with Rusk
and Cowen, but by very largely re-
duced pluralities. The 1st district is
still in doubt
Michigan.
Detroit. Mich, Nov. 7-Careful com,
pilation of reports received by both
state committees indicate the cleo
tion of John T. Rich, rep, for COVER
nor over s. o. Fisher, dem, by from
$4,000 to $4,000. The whole republican
state ticket Is elected. There is a
solid republican delegation to con-
Bress, and Wayne county, in which
Detroit is located. is republican on all
offices. except treasurer.
Delaware.
Wilmington, Del, Nov. 7.-The Della
ware republicans have carried Newcas-
tie and Sussex counties, electing the
governor and congressman and giving
the republicans majority on Joint bal
lot In the general assembly insuring a
republican United States senator. Kent
county has probably gone democratic,
which would give the democrats the
state senate and block much desired
legislation.
Iowa.
Des Moines, Ia, Nov 7-Iowa elects
the entire republican state ticket by
10000. with the exception of judge
Granger and B. l. Sallinger for the
supreme court, whose opponents We're
endorsed by the populists. The repuh-
licans elect ten congressman, and the
result in the second district is in doubt
with the chances in favor of Walter
1. Hayes, democrat, by a small plu-
rality.
West Virginia.
Charlestown, w. Va, Nov. day
ton, rep, has been elected to congress
from this district. defeating w. l..
Wilson. Miller has also defeated Har-
vey In the fourth district, and the re-
publican committee claims all four con-
gressmen The indications are that a
republican legislature has been elect
