the following two hours the crowd was
augmented by a continuous stream of

 AsHEvILLE, N. O., Nov. 6.-It looks at midnight as though this Congressional dis trict, the Ninth, would be close.
 RALEIGH, N. O., Nov. 6.-Pearson, the fusionist, claims to be elected in the Ninth district. The Fifth district indicates that Settle is probably elected. Other districts probably democratic, but news is very meager. The legislature is democratic by greatly reduced majority, and the demo- cratic state judicial ticket is elected by re- duced majorities.
 WILMINGTON, N. O., Nov. 6.-The Star estimates that the democrats have elected state and judicial tickets, seven of the nine congressman, with one district in doubt and the democrats will have small m jor- ity in the legislature on joint ballot.
 RALEIGH, Nov. 6.-1he democratic vote is cut down everywhere. The First, Fifth and Ninth Congressional districts are in serious doubt. Proba bllities favor the election of fusionists. The Fourth, Sev- enth and Eighth are close, both parties claiming them. The state demo- cratic judicial ticket is elected by about 5000, and the legislature is democratic by Q small majority,

 COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, Nov. GA heavy vote was boiled today. It will ag- gregate $500, less than POGO of which will go to the democrats and populists. This means a large republican gain.
 PUEBLO, Col. Nov. 6.-Pueblo voted S5 per cent of it's full registration, the female vote being very large. Thomas NJ.

MARYLAND.

WAsHINGToN, Nov. 6.-Judge McComas received dispatch tonight stating that Wellington, republican candidate in the Sixth Mary land district, carries Allegheny county by 1500. McComas says the vote throws ligbt on the result in the Wiison district which adjoins the Sixth Maryland.
 CUMBERLAND, Md., Nov. 1.-The demo- crats concede George l.. ,Wellington's (re- publican) election by 2000 in this district the Sixth. sr
 BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 6.-Maryland's democratic front has been broken, and the republican, have made nprecedented gains in every direction. It is certain at this hour (midnight) that three republican con- gressmen have been elected, Baker in the Second district, Coffin in the Fifth and Wellington in the Sixth. The democrats carried the Third and Fourth districts with reduced plur alities. The First district is still in doubt. The republicans gained ten city councllmen, and will control the first branch. John J.. Dobler, republican, de- feated Charles G.. Kerr, democrat, for supreme bench judge.
 CUMBERLAND, Md., Nov. 6.-G. w. Wellington, republican candidate for con. gress in the Sixth Maryland district, has carried the district by an estimated ma jority of 20O0 over Ferdinand Williams, democrat. At the last election with the same candidates the vote was Wellington Is, ,292, Williams IS, ,S99.
 BALTIMORE, Nov. 6.-Maryland joined the republican procession and will for the first time in the history of the state send more republicans than democrats to repre- sent her in the halls of congress. Four of the six congressman elected today are republicans, net gain. of four. Unpre- cedented gains were also made by the re. publicans in other directions and the irst branch of the Baltimore city council will for the first tims be controlled by the re- publcans.

NORTH DAKOTA.

FARGO, N. D., Nov. 6.-Meager dis patches only have been received from over the state. The proposition to resu bmit the prohibition law to the people at the next general election has cut quite figure. The democrats ignored it in their platform, while the republicans and independents in- dorse the prohibition law. A dispatch from Casselton, Class county, says R. M. Pollock, who framed the law, has been de- feated for encouragement in that city. He has lost Fargo, and is probably de- feated. =
 dispatch from Grand Forks reports a quiet election and fast voting, with a re- publican advantage. The fusion ticket is probably elected with one exception. The democrats and populists fused on all offices but governor, attorney general and su- preme judge. Kinter, demourat, is the favorite for governor. silver for money has been made the issue by the populists, and they have gained over the last two years. Muir, fusionist, for congress, will be elected if Reeve, the boiling democrat, does not poll over 12)0. The count will be al

 outside Douglass county give Majors, re- publican, for governor S69; Holcomb, fus- ion, 723; Sturtevant, democrat, 103. Indi- 4cations are that heavy vote was polled throughout the state, but returns are com- ing in slowly.
 'e Forty precincts of Douglass county show a republican gain of 1560. If this gain is
 maintained the republicans will elect their State ticket.
 s Five hundred and fifty precinct give Majors 7252, Holcomb 5540. The same pre-
 cincts in 1893 gave the republicans 5417, fusion 6204.
 K LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 6.-Under the
 most favorable conditions anything like definite results in this state will not be known before noon tomorrow. The vote boiled is equal to that of preside tial years. Up to 10 p. m. only 70 of the TO voting precincts had been heard from. These show slight republican gain. If the present ratio of gain is maintained in the
 First Congressional (Bryan's) district -Strode, republican, is elected over Weir 1,

 LEXINGTON, Ky, Nov. 6.-Reports from all over the Ashland district indicate @ heavy vote. The breckinridge and ex- Confederate element is voting largely with the republicans for Judge Denny for con- gress. Owens friends are discouraged over the outward indications at the polls, but do not concede defeat. Colored men are voting in larger numbers today than for ten years, democratic election officers offering few objections.
 LEXINGTON, Nov. 6.--From returns re- ceived up to 10 o'clock the republicans claim the election of three republican con- gressmen in Kentucky, the indications be- ing that they have carried the Fifth (Breckinridge's), Seventh and Eleventh districts. The democrats elect three and perhaps four judges of the court of appeals. In this district the bitterness caused by the Breckinridge- Owens campaign told heavily against Owens, the democratic candidate for congress.

FLORIDA.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nov. 6.-Election day in Florida was fair and pleasant throughout the entire state. An extremely The only offices to be filled were those of two congressmen. h the First district the vote is generally heavier than in the Second. Sparkman, the democratic nomi- nee in the First, will probably bs elected over McKinnon, populist, by about 10000 majority. In the Second district Cooper, democrat, will probably defeat Atkinson, populist, by about 5000. It is not likely that the populists will carry more than four counties in the state, and the vote is close in these. The entire populist vote in the state will not be likely to reach 4000.
 Duval county. Jacksonville, gives Cooper a majority of 1000.
 PENSACOLA, Fla., Nov. 6.--Weather in the west of Florida was fine. The vote was large. O. M. Parkham, democratic nom- inee for congress, carried Escambia county by about 1900 majority.

 NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Nov. 6.-At mid night it is undoubtedly fact that the re- publicans have carried the state on their ticket by from 5000 to 10 ,0OO. Besides this they have gained three congressmen- Henry in the First district, Sperry in the Second and Hill in the Fourth. Russell in the Third is safe beyond peradventure.

 MEMPHIS, Tenn. Nov. 6.-In west Ten- nessee the voting was extremely light, and as the strong democratic vote of the state is in this section, there is anxiety among democrats as to the success of Peter Turney for governor.

 CHATTANOOGA, .i Nov. 6.-Hamiton county with seveh county precints missing, gives for goveynor: Evans 4655, Turney 26S9; for congress, Brown 4527, Snodgrass 24S4. The missing districts will somewhat increase fshe republican plurality.

 ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 6.-scatterring returns from forty of the eighty counties of Minnesota indicate that Governor Nell son is reelected, but is appears that his plurality will be small one. probably less than 5000. The returns so far show re- markable slump of the vote to Owen, the populist candidate for governor. Two thirds of this has come from the demo- cratic party.
 Figures on congressman indicate pretty clearly the election of four republican con- gressmen, with three in doubt. There is a republican majority on joint ballot.
