KANSAS.

TOPEKA, Ks., Nov. 7.-Complete re- turns have not yet been received from a few counties, but as far as heard from steady repub blican gains are the rule. Con- servative estimates, allowing liberal leeway for populist majorites in country districts, give the state to the republicans by a plu- ralty over the populists of 20, ,000 There appears to be no doubt that the republicans have carried six of the seven congressional d stricts, with the chances greatly in favor their winning the remaining one. This glves them seven congressman sure, in- cludine one from the state at large, a gain of five, with the probability of gain of six.
 Chairman Breidentha of the people's party state central committee is not yet willing to concede the state to the repub- licans and continues to claim 1t by small plurality, but Attorney General Little, populist and candidate for reelection, has conceded his defeat and that of the entire state ticket. Carefully revised leg islative estimates of counties heard from, together with returns already received at republican headquarters, show that eighty-seven republican members have been elected out of 125, the remaining thirty nine being divided between demo- crats and populists. The populists have twenty-five hold-over senators and the re- publicans fifteen. This gives the republi- cans majority of thirty nine on joint bal lot. Returns received at republican head-. quarters up to Il o'clock from the Seventh Congressional district indicate the election of Chester l Long, republican, over Jerry Simpson, populist and democratic candi- date, by 1500 majority. The republicans also claim the election of A. HellIg to con- gress in the Sixth district by plurality of at least 10C0; Frederick, republican, in the First; Miller In the Second, 4OOO; Kirk patrick in the Third, 1000; Curtis in the Fourth, 5000, and Caiderhead in the Sev- enth, 2500.
 TOPEKA, Ks., Nov. 7.-Chairman Brei- denthal of the peoples party state central committee comedies the election of the en- tire republican state ticket and six of the eight congressman. He also comedies that the republicans have majority in the leg islature, which will elect a United States senator.

INDIANA.
 

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 7.-Returns receiv+ at the republican state com nit tees hea 1quarters today indicate that the republicans will capture every one of the thirteen congressional districts by clean majorities. The only oue in doubt is the Eleventh. In the Fourth Watson has car rjed two counties, ,and the defeat of Holman by at least 300 seems sure. In the Fifth Cooper has been beaten, and in the Third Tracewell, republican, has pulled through by at least 1500. In the Sixth Johnson is elected without doubt and in the Seventh Henry has defeated Bynum by at least 2500. The returns for the other districts are still meagre. From the figures already in how ever, such gains are indicated that is very doubtful if the democrats will capture a single congressman. Returns from the state show that Indiana has gone republi- can by about 45. GOO and perhaps 50, ,000, the
 legislature being surely republican.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 7.-The re- publicans carried Indiana by upwards of 0,000, capturing both branches of the legislature. They carry every one of the thirteen congressional al districts by plural ities ranging from 400, the figure by which Holman is de ieated, to 12 ,000.

CONNECTICUT.

HARTFORD, Nov. 7.-Up to o'clock this afternoon returns from 156 of the 168 towns in the state give Coffin, republican, for governor plurality over Csdy, the demo- cratic nominee, of 17,173. His majority over all candidates is IS, 759. It is the first time republican governor has been elected by the people in about fifteen years. All the repu bllcan candidates on the state ticket are elected by large majorities, in. cluding Meade for comptroller. He defeats Staub, the democratic nominee, by over TO- GOO. In each of the eight counties Coffin has Dlajoffties ranging from 700 to 2600. All four republican congressman are elected.
 The house will be republican by 140 ma jority, and the republicans have elected twenty three of the twenty four senators, the First Hartford district alone electipg a dsm9Srat. Every pity ID the, the state G has gone est surprise is in the Second district, where Speer, republican, defeats Piggott, demo- crat, the present congressman, by about

ILLINOIS.

CHICAGO, Nov. 7.-Late returns show that the republicans have elected their state ticket by plurality of at least go, GOO. Cook county goes republican by majorities ranging from 20, 0oO to 40,oO0. The new branches by majority of from 25 to 40 on joint ballot. This practically insures the reelection of Cullonl to the United States senate. For congress the republicans have captured twenty and possibly twenty-one of the twenty two dis tricts. In the Sixteenth district F. E. Donnell, democrat, defeated Gen. J. 1. Ren nicker by a small majority. The Third district (Chicago) will be in doubt until the official count is made. The returns from five precincts are missing. The incom- plete returns give Belknap, republican, 16O majority over McGann, democrat. As the missing precincts are strongly democratic 1t is possible that Congressman McGann may possibly pull through.

SURVEY OF RETURNS

 Snow Under.

CHIoAao, Nov. 7.--A survey of the re- turns of yesterdays election this morning confirms the hasty estimates and partial returns of last night in the west, the north- west and on the Pacific coast. The repnb- lican landslide seems to be overwhelming.
 In the southwest republican gains are reported of such magnitude as to suggest almost revolution. Tue only exceptions to the rule appear to be in California and Nevada. In the former state the demo- cratic candidate for governor (Budd) is ap- parently in advance of Estes, bis republi- can competitor, although the rest Of the republican state ticket seems to be certain of election.
 In Nevada the silver party, which exists as party in that state only, has to all ap- pearances beaten the repubilcans, demo- crats and regular populists, eiecting it's state ticket and congressman.
 There Is also an element oi doubt in Ne- braska, where the election of Majors, re- publican, over Holcomb, democrat, is by no means assured With these exceptions, however, the tide of republican success ap- pears to be overwhelming.

Jefferson county Is certainly democratic this time by a good majority. With all but one beat (Toadvine) heard from, MT. Underwood's majority over MT. Aldrich is 799, according to returns received by the AGE HERALD.
 The vote is 2661 less than in the August election, loss of about 30 per cent. This falling off in the vote was much greater In the cities and towns than in the country precincts, and there also are the principal gains for the republican candidate. The greatest losses were in Bessemer, Elyton, East Lake, Pratt City and Birming gham. MT. Aldrich made gains in all of th ose places, except in Bessemer, where the Kolb majority was entirely wiped out and majority of sent up for MT. Underwood.
 The republicans were crying fraud yes- terday. and some of the chiefs from other sections of the state came presumably to consult with the leaders in Birmingham. Among the visitors noted were MT. A. T. Goodwin, the populite candidate against Judge Cobb in the Fifth, and MT. A. P. Longshore, prominent populite from Shelby.
 They were all talking contest, and it de- yeloped that there would be at least four and prODaDly i've COnCtSlS lTOm hidDdLud in the next congress. The contestants will be Judge Robinson in the Third, w. F. Aldrich in the Fourth, A. T. Goodwyn in the Fifth and T. II. Aidrich in the Ninth. If M. w. Howard does not receive cer- tificate of election in the Seventh district he will contest.
 Chairman Fountain, Captain Kolb and other leading popuo-rep blicans were busy yesterday charging fraud in Jefferson county. They are mad about Bessemer's Underwood majority. Then they had flat tered themselves with fond hopes of carry ing Birmingham. Nine-tenth of the merchants of the city, the republicans claimed, would vote for MT. Aldrich, and us the returns did not justify their pre- election claims they were mad. In August their vote was practically the same as the democratic yots, and to be showed under by nearly 500 majority was too much for them. They couldn't explain away this change and resorted to charges of fraud.
 It is said that about 160 negroes were shipped from Blue Creek to Bessemer to vote, transportation tickets having been furnished by the republicans. Most of them had registered in Bessemer for the August election and moved away from there since that time.
 Below is the vote Of Jefferson by pre- cnets:

STATUS OF THE HOUSE.

WAsHiNGroN, Nov. :. Chairman Bab- cock of the republican congressional com mittee estimates the next house will be composed of 121 democrats, 231 republicans and populists, giving the republicans a clear majority of 106 over all. This esti- mate is based on returns received up to 8 D. ID.
 The republican congressional campaign committee closed up it's headquarters to- day. Several attempts were made this morning by Chairman Babcock and Sscre- tary KcKee to prepare table showing the relative party representations In the next house, but each time fuller. returns re- ceived threw out the calculations.
 The democratic campaign committee con- cedes a republican plurality of 56 in the next house.

Senator Gibson's county, Tal- bot, which has eighteen men in good fed eral offices, also went republican, and other counties with large numbers of of fees to their credit went republican 0 showed large falling off in the democrati vote.
 1t is noticeable also that the precinct i , Howard county in which Senator Gorma resides and votes gave q republican ma jority for the first time in quarter of century.
