George D. Meiklejohn, rep, reelected;
Fourth, w. L. Stark, pop.dem.; Fifth,
William A. McKeighan, dem, re-elec-
ted; Sixth, o. M. Kehm, pop.-dem., re-

In the gubernatorial race the contest
is very close. Advices up to midnight
place Majors, rep, slightly in the lead.
MARYLAND.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 7.-Maryland's solid
democratic front has been broken and
the republicans have made unprece-
dented gains in every direction. 1t is
certain at this hour (midnight) that
three republican congressman have
been elected. Baker in the Second,
Cafin in the Fifth and Wellington in
the Sixth. The democrats carried the
Third and Fourth districts with Rusk
and Cowen, but by very largely re-
duced pluralities. The First district is
still in doubt. In this city John j. Dob
Ter, rep, defeated Charles G. Kerr,
dem, for supreme bench judge and the
republicans gained six city councilmen.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
PIERRE, Nov. .7.-Returns coming in
from all portions of the state which,
though meagre, indicate that the state
republican ticket and two congressman.
at-large are elected by not less than
1900 plurality. 1t will not run less
and probably much more. Returns
from legislative districts are not in ex-
cept from cities and towns; but there
are good indications that the legisla-
ture will be safely two-thirds republic
an. Many of the districts are close,
where fusion between democrats and
populists was had.
INDIANA.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. z. = Forty-twd
precincts show an average republican
gain of 81 to a precinct. Chairman
Gowdy says at this rate the state will
be republican by 10000. He predicts
the election of the republican legisla-
ture in both branches and says the
state is safe by 10000 The rate of in
crease if maintained throughout the
state would make the entire congress.
sional delegation republican.
CONNECTICUT.
NEW HAVEN, Nov. 7.-Biggott, dem,
for congress, in the Second district, is
defeated beyond doubt. All Connecti-
cut towns show good republican gains.
Returns from twenty towns out of 169
in this state show republican gain OF
1,245 over the vote of 1892.
Returns from seven towns out OF
forty-one in the Second congressional
district show q republican gain of 757

WYOMING.
CHEYENNE, Nov. 7.-Incomplete re.
turns received from thirteen counties
indicate the election of Mondell, rep,
for congress by at least 1,500 plurality.
Richardson, rep, will also be elected
governor, with the balance of the ticket
in doubt. The republicans claim ma,
jority on joint ballot in the legislature.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
CHARLESTON, Nov. Pretty full re-
turns indicate the election of seven
democratic congressman and the regu-
lar democratic state ticket headed by
John Gary Evans, who defeats Simpson
Pope, Ind, his only opponent. Returns
for the legislature indicate a safe ma
jority for Tillman for United States
senator. The call for constitutional
convention is apparently defeated by
small majority. The election was quiet
throughout the state.
Pope claims that there We're most
fragrant frauds throughout the state.
MASSACHUSETTS.
BOSTON, Nov. 7.-Returns from 2O2
precincts in this city show democratic
loss of 6,416
SPRINGFIELD Nov. 7.-Boston will
give Russell about $500 plurality. The
lead OF Greenhalge in the state will be
about $4,000. The republicans gener-
ally carry everything in local offices in
this part of the state. Wright for con-
gress in the First district and Gillett
in the Second have pluralities rising
from 2,00o
KENTUCKY.
LEXINGTON, Nov. From returns
received up to 10 o'clock, the republic
ans claim the election of three con-
gressmen in Kentucky, the indications
being that they have carried the Fifth, |
Seventh and Eleventh districts. The
democrats elect three and possibly four
judges of the court of appeals. In this
district the bitterness caused by the
Breckenridge campaign told heavily
against Owens, the democratic candi- |
date for congress.
GEORGIA.
ATLANTA, Nov. 7.-Georgia voted only |
for congressman, the state election |
having takon place last month. The
legislature voted for two United States |
senators, electing the democratic
