MISSOURI is WON.
The State Goes Into the Republican
List With a Hurrah.

OF. LOUIS, Nov. From the latest un.
ofnclai returns from thirty-fye counties in
MISSOURI. Republican gains of 10000 are
SHOWN. and the election of their entire
State ticket by a plurality of at least 10000
Is assured. The successful candidates are
walter NJ. Robinson, Judge of the Supreme
Court; John r. Kirk, State Superinten-
tendent of Public Schools, and Joseph
Flory. Railroad and Warehouse Commits
| sioner.
The lower house of the State Legislature
is Republican, but the Democrats. who
have majority in the Senate, will be able
to carry things on a joint ballot. Nothing
definite can be learned, however, as to
what their majority is until complete Off
cial returns have been received. Returns
from some of the Congressional districts
are rather conflicting, but on the whole
show a decided Republican gain. At least
six Democratic candidates for Congress
we're defeated, and possibly several more
will be counted in the Republican column
when complete returns are in.
There seems to be no doubt that the fol-
lowing are elected: George c. Crowther
(R-), Fourth District; John c. TarsDey
3D., Fifth; David A. DeArmond Cd,
Sixth; John P. Tracey R.), Seventh
Champ Clark Cd, Ninth; Richard Barth-
old (R), Tenth; Charles +. Joy R),
Eleventh; Seth w. Cobb D). Twelfth
John r. Moseley (R.), Fourteenth; Charles
G. Burton (R.). Fifteenth.
The defeat of Hatch in the First District
by c. n. Clarke by 400 plurality is claimed
by the Republicans. D0ckery claims his
reelection in the Third by 400 but the
chairman Of the Republican Congressional
committee asserts that II. c. Orton is VIC
torious by a plurality of 400. Bland is
probably defeated by j. L. d. Hubbard,
Republican. Republicans claim the dis
trict. and Democrats are not denying the
claim. The Second and Thirteenth dis
tricts are claimed by both parties, and il
will take official returns to decide the re-
suit there.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. THE most
surprising of yesterdays upheavals was
the transfer of Missouri from the Demo
cratic to the Republican column. This
change Of front was not made apparent
until this afternoon, when the returns
from the country precincts began to come
in. Heretofore these have shown nothing
but strong Democratic leanings, but the
returns show that Missouri can no longer
be counted in the solid Democratic col
umn. Districts and counties that have
heretofore rolled I'D tremendous Demo-
cratic majorities have completely changed
front, and tonight reports are received of
Republican victories in those Democratic
StroDghods.
The Third Congressional District, which
IN 1892 gave DockPry 1851 plurality. yester-
day vJted for a Republican. Tarsney, in
the Filth District. in 1892 received a ma
j"rity of 5167. This year he is not sure of
being returned. as Van Horn claims the
district bv few hundred. In the Eleventh
''Silver Dick" Bland is elected to stay at
home and Republican will represent the
district In the Fifty-fourth Congress- The
Republicans have elected entire county
tickets in counties which have not elected
a Republican since the war.
Complete unofficial returns for this, the
Fifth District. give John C. Tarsney, for
Congress, plurality of 975 over Van Horn
(R). The Republican county committee
claims that the official count will change
the result, giving the election 10 Van
Horn. Final figures on the city and
county vote on the State ticket show Re-
publican gains of'from 1900 to 10000.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Nov. THE returns S
show that Crow ther. Republican, has been
elected beyond dou bt in the Fourth Con-
gressional District. His plurality is about
1000 This sends two Republicans and one
Democrat TO the State Legislature and the
State Senate is Republican. The majority
of the county officers will be Repu biican
for the first time In twenty-five years.
