The State Probably Republioan--Jerry
Simpson Defeated,

Topeka. Kan, Nov. 7.-Complete re-
turns have not yet been received from a
few counties, but as far as heard from,
steady republican gains are the rule. Con-
servative estimates, allowing liberal Ice
way for populist majorties in the country
districts, give the state to the republicans
by a plurality over the popuiists of 20, 900.
There appears TO be- no doubt that the re-
publicans have carried six OF the seven
congressional districts, with the chances
greatly in favor OF their winning the re-
naming one This gives them seven con-
gressmen sure, including one from the
state at large, a gain Of FIVE, with the
probability of gain OF six
Chairman Breidenthal, of the People $
party state central committee, is not vet
willing to concede the state TO the repub-
leans and continues to claim il by a
small plurality, but Attorney General Lit
tie, pop, and candidate for recollection,
comedies his defeat, and that OF the en-
tire state ticket.
Carefully revised legislative estimates
of the counties heard from, together with
returns already received at republican
headquarters, show that 81 republican
members have been elected out OF 125, the
remaining 80 being divided between dem
ocrats and populsts. The populists and
democrats have 25 holdover senators, and
the republicans is. This gives the republi-
cans a majority OF 80 on joint ballot.
Returns received at the republican head
quarters up 10 II O'Clock this morning
from the Seventh congressional district
indicate the election OF Chester /. Long,
rep, over Jerry Simpson, pop. and dem.
candidate, by 1,500 majority.
The republicans also claim the cleo
tion Of A. Hellg to congress in the Sixth
district by a plurality of at least 1000.
Broderlck, rep, in the First, Miller In the
Second by 1000; kirkpatrick in the Third,
by 1000. Curtis, in the Fourth. by 5000;
Calderhead, in the Seventh. by $500.
Chairman Briedethal Of the People s
party state central committee, concede the
election Of the entire republican state
ticket and six Of the eight congressman.
He also comedies that the republicans
have elected majority Of the legislature,
which will elect a senator.

Washington, Nov. 7.-At o'clock to-
night Mr.. Babcock, chairman of the repub-
lican congressional committee, gave out
the following statement:

that we have elected over $50 members,
with several other states to hear from.
We have carried the solid congressional
delegations of twenty-three states We
have carried the majority of the delega-
tions in thirty states, thereby enabling us
to elect a President in case the election
should be thrown into the House The
returns indicate that we have secured con-
troll of the next Senate by a majority of
one to three, without counting the vote
of North Carolina, which has undoubtedly
elected a republican legislature.

the republicans have carried the following
states by solid congressional deIega-
tions: Connecticut, Colorado, Delaware,
Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Massa-
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana,
Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island,

undoubted evidences of fraud, and will

CALIFORNIA.
The State onieers Divided Between tha
Two Parties.


San Francisco. Cal, Nov. There
seems to be no doubt this evening that
California has gone democratic so far
as the governorship is concerned. but
the state will probably elect a republican
lieutenant governor and most of the other
state officers. An almost solidly republ-
can congressional delegation is assured.
and the Legislature will be republican on
Joint ballot.
In the southern part of the state, usually
strongly republican, the plurality has
been reduced by the populist vote.
Returns ON the vote for governor from
713 precincts out of 2,274 give: For Estee,

to indicate the election of Sutro, pop. for
mayor by large plurality in the municipal
election. Mayor Elliot comedies his elec-
tion.

A REVIEW OF THE LANDSLIDE.

turns Are Bunched.

ne" the country LOOKS w When the re-
turns Are Bunohed.
Chicago, Nov T. p. ma survey of
the returns of yesterdays election this
morning confirms the hasty estimate and
partial returns of last night. In the west,
northwest, and on the Pacific coast the
republican landslide seems to be over
whelming and in the southwest repub-
hcan gains are reported Of such magni-
tude as to suggest almost a revolution.
The only exceptions to the rule appear
to be California and Nevada.
In the former the state democratic can
ddate for governor, Budd, is apparently
in advance Of Estee his republican COM
petitor, although the rest of the republi-
can state ticket seems to be certain of
election. In Nevada the silver party,
which exists as a party in that state
only has to all appearances beaten the
republicans, democrats. and regular pou-
lists, electing its state ticket and congress-
men There is also an element Of doubt
IN Nebraska, where the election Of Ma
Jors, rep, over Holcomb, pop. dem. IS
by no means assured. With these ex-
oepuons, however the tide OF republican
success appears 20 be overwh Ginning.

fourth districts. 1t is estimated that the
frauds in these districts aggregate nearly
4,OO) votes. whereas Rusk and Cowen's
combined pluralties are but 1876.
The republicans yesterday made gains
in evrey ward in the city except two, and
carried many wards that have been here
tofore regarded as democratic strongholds.
For the first time since 1867 the repubIi-
cans Will have absolute control OF a de-
partment OF the city government The
first branch of the city council will have
republican majority of two. Never be-
fore have the republicans swept Maryland

ILLINOIS.
The Republicans Elect at Least 20 Out
of the 90 congressman

Chicago, Nov. 7.-Late returns show
that the republicans have elected their
state ticket by a plurality of at least
1900. Cook county goes republican by
majorities ranging from 250OO to 10000.
The new legislature will be republican In
both branches by a majority of Is to 30
on joint ballot. This insures the re-elec-
tion Of Senator Cullom to the United
States Senate.
For congress the republicans have caps
tured 20. and possibly q Of the % dis
tricts. In the Sixteenth district F. Fl. Down-
ing, dem. defeated Gen. j. l.. Rinaker by
a small majority.
The Third district (Chicago) will be in
doubt till the official count is made. The
returns from five precincts are missing.
The incomplete returns give Belknap,
rep, 100 majority over McGann, dem.
As the missing precincts are strongly
democratic it is possible that Congress-
man Mccain may pull through.

Baltimore, Nd. Nov. lone of the pecu-

yesterday is the fact that the democratic
counties which have secured the largest
share Of the federal offices have gone re-
publican.
Carroll county. which has the collector
Of customs, the best Office in the state,
the special deputy collector, and a large
number Of Offices, went republican for the
first time since 1866, and Hartford county,
which has the collector of internal rev.
enue, and more minor places than any
other county in the state, in spite Of
tho usual large democratic majority,
went republican.
Senator Glbson's county, Talbert, which
has eighteen men in good federal on
ces, also went republican, and other coun-
ties with large numbers OF offices to their
credit, went republican, or showed a large
falling off on the democratic vote. II Is
noticeable. also, that the precinct in How
ard county In which Senator German
resides and votes, gave a republican ma
jority for the first time In a quarter OF a
century
Returns from the first Maryland con-

Later returns confirm the story of
democratic defeat so fully told in the
special and press dispatches in the Morn
ing News of yesterday.
The disaster to Senator Hill and the
overthrow of Tammany Hall are as COM
plete as the first returns indicated.
Reports of republican gains in the con-
gressional fights come in with tiresome
regularity from nearly every section of
the country. The republicans are now
claiming as high as 250 seats in
the lower house of congress. They have
also carried legislative elections which
will probably result in giving them con-
troll of the United States Senate.
Chairman Wilson of the House ways and
means committee seems to be hopelessly
buried beneath the general wreck in West
Virginia.
The Ohio republicans have beaten their
previous high water-mark and a similar
trick seems to have been played in Penn
sylvania.
Vice President Stevenson and an un-
named member of the cabinet attribute
the landslide to the hardness of the
democrats at the recent session of con-
gress in settling the tariff question. The
prevailing depression in business, the two
gentlemen referred to say, also cut a
figure in bringing about the defeat
There is no change in the congressional
results in Georgia, Florida and South
Carolina from those shown in the Morn
ing News yesterday.
The probability that the democrats
will turn the tables in 1896 is about the
only consolation in sight at the moment.
Even Missouri joins the republican pro-
cesson and elects a republican legislature
and eight republican congressman. Those
old democratic standbys, Messrs. Hatch,
Bland and Dockery are probably among
the corpses in the states political grave
yard, waiting for the resurrection day
of SO.
Texas, to be in style, sends up one repub-
lican congressman, just as a sample. He
probably grew up with this years big
cotton crop in that state.

born from Madison to Monroe was
redolent of perfume the other even
ing. The pleasant odors came from q
basket which peddler had placed on
the sidewalk near the middle of the
block The basket when it was first
placed there was filed with bottles of
various designs and sizes. Il did not
need the husky shout of the peddler
to proclaim his wares, for the atmos-

The crowds aroun tie basks were
buying up the bottles almost as fast
as he could hand them o1t to them.
One of the purchasers was a cute
young man who thought he could
make his wife nice present and not
have it cost him very much. He
handed over fifteen cents to the fakir
and selected the incest looking bottle
in the basket The purchaser then
stepped into a hall way to have one

placed the bottle to his nose. There

the young man, as he placed his foot
against the basket.
The peddler took the hint, gave
back the fifteen cents, and took him
self off to another quarter of the
town. The sweet o lors which perme-
ated the air came from straw in the
bottom of the basket, over which the
fakir from time to time sprayed lit
tie perfume from bottle with a noz-
zle attachment
