Elsewhere.
Washington, Nov. Sowing TO the
unusual conditions prevailing in a num-
Der Of states and the uncertainty re-
| garding the outcome, intense interest
| existed at the capitol as to the results
OF the elections. Particularly was this
the case with respect to the elections in
! New York, Kentucky, Ohio and New
| Jersey, and the returns from these
! states were awaited with the greatest
| interest. Great crowds gathered in
! front of the newspapers tonight and re-
manned until the returns showed defin-
; ite results a { the storm centers. Others
more fortunate visited various social
and political clubs, where special ar
rangements have been made for obtain
/ ing the latest information.
| President Cleveland did not make
| his appearance at the white house at
all today, but remained at his country
| home at Woodley. Private Secretary
| Thurher was on hand at the executive
| mansion, however, during the day and
| evening and received the bulletins that
came over the special wire from the
/ telegraph offices. These were read by
/ such Of the cabinet officers as gathered
during the evening and dispatches of
( special interest were telephoned 10 the

Three of the eight cabinet officers

Washington, Nov. 5.-Great interest
was manifested here in the legislative
elections throughout the country, as
they will materially affect the control
OF the United States senate. Up 10
TODAY the standing in fba 70
Republicans AZ; Democrats 80; Popu-
lists 6; vacant, Democrat /. Total IS.
AS the result of today's elections the
Democrats will lose and the Republi-
cans will gain a senator from Maryland
and from Ohio respectively. The other
( legislative elections do not appear to
effect the standing of the senate, as
Kentucky and Mississippi remain Dem
I ocratic, the latter certainly, and the
former probably. Iowa remains Re
publican. Utah chooses two United
States senators for the first time, but
the complexion of the legislature is
not yet certain. The Utah senator's
take their seats in the senate shortly
after congress assemblies. The changes
in Ohio and Maryland will not affect
| the senate until March, 1897
The Republican majority in the next
Ohio legislature as shown by the re-
turns from Ohio, fnsures the retirement
of Senator Brice, Democrat, and the
succession of Republican. 1t appears
to be settled that Ex-Governor Foraker
will be the choice of the legislature as
the state convention placed his name in
| the platform as the senatorial candi-
date.
In Maryland the election of a Repub-
lican legislature, the first in many
years, will bring about the retirement
of Senator Gibson and the election of a
Republican in his place. AS yet no
names have been mentioned in con-
nection with the succession.
The election of Republican legisla-
ture in Iowa is not unexpected and it
is considered settled that Senator Allis-
on will be elected to succeed himself
In Kentucky incomplete returns indi-
cate Democratic legislature, which.
will elect Senator Blackburn to sue
coed himself, but, up to a. m the leg
islature was in doubt. The return of a
Democrat legislature In Mississippi has
been a foregOne conclusion 1t Will
elect successor to Senator George.
The returns from New York and New
Jersey indicate Republican gains.
These legislatures do not elect United
States senator's this year, but, as part
of the legislatures hold, the present
election is important in influencing
those bodies which will elect success
ors to Senator Hill of New York and
Senator Smith of New Jersey, whose

VIRGINIA Is DEMOCRAT &c.
Richmond, Va, Nov. 5.-The election
today closed one of the most apathetic
campaigns known in Virginia for many
years. For several days past the Dem
ocratic managers have feared some of
the senatorial as well as a number of
the house districts were in danger of
being lost by this lack of activity on
the canvas. The returns Justify the
fears hn e., = 8 r
senate (2O and the whole membership
or the house delegates 400. In many
counties the Republicans combined
with the Populists and Democratic ele-
ments and made the issue on a cry of
fairer elections. Long before his death
General Malone advocated this issue
ana at conference reunion held in
Petersburg last May there was adopt
ca so-called fair election bill which
II was proposed should be made the
issue in this campaign. The indica-
ions are that in most sections of the
state small vote was polled. In many
or the black belt counties notably in |
the section Of Norfolk, the negroes seem
TO have supported the Democratic cam
cldate. The detailed returns. so far as
received. show that the new senate |
VIII contain 81 Democrats and six anti
democrats and the house about so |
Democrats and 20 anti-Democrats.
