THIRTEEN CONGRESSMEN
AND BOTH BRANCHES OF THE LEG
IsLATURE BELIEVED TO DE SAFE.
Perhaps Less Than Dozen Counties
i'm the State Can Claim u Demo-
cratic Plurality.

Nothing in the history of Indiana cleo
publican victories in this State yesterday.
Last night at II O'Clock SIS precincts out
of S,oSS had reported a Republican gain of
1875 votes over the election of 1892. At
this rate the Republicans may Lead with
plurality anywhere from $1,000 to 10000
votes. OF course, with this political earth
quake Democrats will hardly save the Indi-
ana Legislature or elect single Congress
that McNagney was beaten. In the Fourth
district the returns were meager, but they
showed an overwhelming vote for Watson
against Holman.
James Z. Watson was gaining at the rate
of forty votes to the precinct in old Frank
lin county, and the State Republican COM
mittee was claiming not only his election,
But that of every other Republican con-
the First, Second and Third districts the
returns were even fewer. Washington, Du-
bois, Daviess and Orange counties, how
ever, seem to have gone Republican, and it
is probable that the Democrats may not
carry a dozen counties south of Indianapo-
lis. The Fifth district has swept Cooper of
his feet, giving Overstreet a handsome plu-
rality In the Eighth George W. Faris will
rality.
Dispatches received by the State COM
mittee up to o'clock this morning indicate
very positively that the Republicans have
carred all thirteen of the congressional dis
derburg, which has gone 1,2OO Republican.
In the Second Hardy carried even Knox
and Crawford counties, giving him every
county in the district, where the Demo-
duced In the Third Tracewell has carried
jefferson county by 500. Jennings by 5OO
and Scott, Harrison and Floyd by small
pluralities, with the probability of Wash
these he will have carried every county in
the district except Jackson, where the
Democrats are cut down to 5Oo In the
Fourth Watson has carried every county
in the district except Dearborn and Frank
lin and has a clear plurality of 500. In the
Fifth Overstreet has carried Hendricks by
14OO, Morgan by 500, Monroe by 400. and
has very materially reduced the plurali-
ties in Johnson Bartholomew and Brown
In the Sixth Johnson had an easy thing.
In the Seventh Marion county gives Hen
ry at least $500 and Madison 900. Hancock
cannot give Bynum more than 200. In the
Eighth the contest was determined by vigo
county, which gave Faris upward Of 1,4eO.
In the Ninth Hanly has over 5000 In the
Tenth Hatch has carried every county,
with the possible exception of Fulton In
the Eleventh Steele has safe plurality of
1000, having carried Grant, Wabash, Black
ford, Jay and Huntington by large plurali-
ties. Grant going 1900 and Wabash. 1900. The
and Huntington by large pluralities The
Democratic figures in Adams, Wells and
Miami are cut away down. In the Twelfth
Leighty is elected by 1900 plurality. He has
carried every county in the district except
Allen, which gives McNagny but 1900. In the
Thirteenth Royse has carried every county
with the exception. possibly, of NJ rshall
and IL is believed that he has gathered
that In also. His plurality will possibly run
as high as 5000.
