THE ELECTIONS.


Later returns from the elections held
on Tuesday indicate further republican
gums. Returns from Virginia indicate
the election of Walker, republican, to
Congress in the ninth district instead of
Morrison, democrat. In the other nine
districts democratic congressman have
been elected. The democrats are GER
tain of having carried nine districts.
The republicans will contest Tyler's
seat in the second, fuckers in the
tenth, probably McKenney's in the
fourth and possibly Others. The most
feature of the contest is the
heavy losses the democrats sustained in
the great white districts of the valley
and the southwest. These are the es
timated maiorities: First district, Jones
3 900; second, Tyler, $500; third, Ell
lett, 1000; fourth, Mckinney, 700 ;
fifth. Swanson, $500; sixth, Otey,
/ POO; seventh, Turner, / 800; eighth,
Meredith, 1000; ninth, Walker, ire
publican) $500; tenth, Tucker, $500.
The election of General Walker, re-
publican, in the ninth is conceded by
the democrats. The democratic ma
ority in the State will probably be
%, 1000.
The West V .rginia democratic execu-
tive committee, at Charleston, comedies
the election of all four republican Con-
gressmen and republican Legislature,
which will elect a United States Sena-
tor to succeed Hon. ]. N. Camden. 1t
is said Hon. Stephen B. Elkins will
succeed United States Senator Camden.
The republicans claim the election OF
A. G. Dayton over Hon. VIM. L. Will
son in the second district by 1000 ma
jority.
The latest returns from North Caro-
Ina indicate the election of the fusion
State ticket and that this republican
populist combination has elected six
Out of the nine Congressman and ma
iority on joint ballot in the Legislature,
which would give them the two United
States Senators to be elected. The
democrats concede that the fusionlsts,
composed of republicans and populists,
have secured majority in the Senate.
They say as to the House there is doubt,
which only the official count to-day can
settle.
The Maryland delegation in the next
Congress will stand three democrats
and three republicans. Mr.. Charles E.
Coffin, republican, was elected from the
fifth district to serve the remainder oil
the present Congress. The republicans
upon the congressional ticket carried
the State of Mary land by about $500
majority. They had majorities in fiji
teen counties. Nearly 10000 demo-
Gratis did not vote.
The republican plurality liz Illinois
was about 125, 900, and in Cook county,
including Chicago, nearly 10000. The
democrats elected one Congressman
out of twenty-five, democratic loss OF
ten.
The New York delegation in Con-
gress will stand 80 republicans to 4
democrats, republican gain of 10. Mr.
Mortan's plurality in the State is about
100000.
In Pennsylvania the republicans
elected twenty-eight of the thirty Cen
gressmen. The plurality of Hastings,
republican, over Singerly. democrat
for Governor, was 233,37S. Philadel-
phia gave 5000 republican majority.
James H. Budd, democrat, was elect.
en- Governor of California. The repub-
licans elected six of the seven Con-
gressmen. :,
In Ohio the republicans elected all
the Congressman except Paul ]. Sora
and F. c. Loyton, democrats, in the
Third and Fourth districts, respective
ly. Tom L. Johnson, democrat, was
defeated by Theodore E. Burton, re-
publican, by 1862.
The result in Tennessee is in doubt as
to the governorship.
Missouri has also gone over into the
republican column. Governor Stone
comedies the legislature to the repub-
licans. The democrats have lost eight
congressman.
Kentucky elected democratic and 8
republican congressman.
William G. Owens, democrat, has a
majority of 50 in the Seventh (Ashland)
congressional district, now represented
by William G. p Breckenridge.
The indications show that the United
States Senate will have forty demo-
Gratis, forty-oue republicans and six pop
ulists, not counting the successor to
Senator Harris, democrat, of Tennessee,
who is doubtful quantity. In this
classification, Stewart and Jones of Ne
vada, and Tillman, VINO will be elected
from South Carolina, have been put
with the populists. 1t is probable that
Tillman will vote on the organization
of the Senate with the democrats, and
Stewart, Jones, and PETER, of Kansas,
with the republicans. This would give
the populists the balance of power in
the Senate.
In the House the republicans will
have 232 members, the democrats 120,
the populists 8, and 1 is classed as sill
yer man; total 356. By States, the re-
publicaus will have more than two
thirds majority, in case the next presi-
dental election is thrown into the
House.
