ond. Fifth and Twelfth
The State Democratic Committee con-
cedes the election of Republican Legis-
lsture. 1t also comedies the defeat on
prima facie returns, of r. p. Bland in the
Eighth District by a plurality of nineteen
votes. The committee still claims the re-
election of Doekery in the Third by 300.
KANSAS CITY, Nov. S.-The Star Unde-
pendenO figures that John c. Tarsney for
Congress has carried the Fifth District by
little over 500. There is every prospect
of a contest by Colonel Van Horn (R.).
In the Second Ward, Kansas City, 154S
votes were cast, against 728 at the last
Presidential election. 1t is claimed it can
be proven there are not 1000 voters In the
Second Ward.
In the Congressional fight, Dockery of
the Third. Tarsney of the Fifth and Cobb
of the Twelfth are the only Democrats
that have been elected on the face OF their
returns. Rich, in the Third District, is
clearly beaten by Clark; Hall, in the
Second, for whom there were strong hopes
until now, has surely gone down. Ellison.

are buried. In the Eighth ''SHver Dick"
BANDS rural constituency has given the
gO-by to him in favor of Joel Hu ubbard.
In the Ninth Champ Clark has been de-
fea,ed by Treloar of Audraip, school
teacher with protection tendencies. Bar
thold in the Tenth, Joy IN the Eleventh
and RaUney in the Thirteenth swell the
Republican column. The "Swamp Angel
district of the Southeast, the Fourteenth,
where only Democrats we're supposed to
live, has retired Marsh Arnold in favor of
MOsely, the Republican candidate. For
the first time in twenty-five years the
Southeast has failed to come up rock
ribbed for the Democratic ticket The
anti-free silver lead ore men of the Fiji
teenth District left Morgan at home by
1000 in favor of Judge Burton.
Counties which have never gone Repub-
lican since the x-COnfederates were re-
stored to citizenship have elected tie en-
tire Republican ticket. Analysis of the
vote, as shown by returns received at
Democratlc headquarters. shows that no
portion of the State has been exempt from
the shaking up. 1t is just as bad down
along the Arkansas line as it is up in the
Iowa border. The Mississippi River coun-
ties are as badly "slumped" as the tier
which borders on Kansas. Two years ago
the Democrats had ninety-tw0 members
in the House and the Republicans had
forty-eight. This time the Democrats and
Populsts combined will not be able 10
muster more than strong minority.
LEBANON, Mo-, Nov. S.-Congrrssman
r. p. Bland comedies his defeat by 600
plurality.
In reply to request this evening that
be would give the Associated Press his
viayys m tha rasplt oE rruasAayf.
Mr.. Bland stated that he was so over
whelmed by the sudden unexpected nature
OF the returns from all parts of the coun-
try that he was not prepared to give an
opinion for publication of the causes
which led to the landslide. He attributed
his own defeat. however, very largely TO
idence among his political friends
in Democratic counties. resulting in
dangerous falling off in the Democratic
vote. He takes his defeat philosophically.
and is of the opinion that the Republican
victory will prove a valuable lesson to
Missouri Democrats.
Additional returns received this evening
reduce DR.. Hubbard's supposed plurality
of 600 over Mr.. Bland to 10, q number so
small that it will require the official vote
to determine whether Mr. Bland is actu-
ally defeated.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-. Nov S-Gover-
nor Stone was in more communica tive
humor to-day and says the loss of the
State to the Democracy is due to the "stay-
at-home element" He is very pronounced
in his demands for a Western man for
President in 1896. He comedies the defeat
of the State ticket and the election of
Republican majority in the lower house
OF the Legislature.
