Delaware gazette and state journal. (Wilmington, Del.) 1883-1902, 1896-11-05

From Yesterdays Every Evening.
AS far as can be ascertgined at pres
ent writing, the result OF the election
in Delaware is as follows:
The Mckinley and Hobart electors
have carried the State by majority oI
berweon l,500 and 1000.
Ebe w. Tunnel has been elected
Governor by plurality OF about 5000
over John @. Higgins, Regular Re.
publican nominee. and John ii. Iiof.
fecker, nominee of the Union Republi-
.ans.
Levin Irving Handy, Democratic
nominee for Congress, has been elected
by an almost similar plurality over
Robert G. Houston and the Rev. Jona-
than s. Willis, the Regular and Union
Republican candidates.
The Democrats have elected State
Senator and six Representatives to the
General Assembly in New Castle
county. The Republicans have chosen
one Representative. The Democrats
have elected State Senator and seven
Representatives in Sussex county,
They have also. in all probability,
elected State Senator and seven
Representatives in Kent county, but
the result in Kent is so close that the
official count will be required to make
IL known.
Should the Democrats lose Kent
county, tho next Legislature will stand /:
Senate Whore the Republicans now
have four holding msmbers) RE
publicans, D; Democrats, Al House,
Democrats, 13; Republicans, s; on
joint ballot-Democrats, II; Republi-
cans, ID; Democratic majority, 4,)This
lnsures the filling the vacancy from
Delaware in the United States Senate
by the election of Democrat.
Should Kent county elect the Demo-
cratic Legislative ticket. the Demo-
rats would have the State Senate by a
vote OF to 4, and the House by 20 to
i or on joint ballot by 20 TO g.
The Democrats have elected five
members OF the Constitutional Con-
vention in Sussex county and six in
New Castle, with Kent in doubt.
Should the Addicks Republicans carry
Kent, the convention would be Repub-
lican by vote of 10 to IL. Otherwise
1t would be Democratic by 81 to 9.
The democrats have also, in all
probability, elected their county ticket
in Kent and Sussex counties In New
Castle county, the Republicans have
elected their sheriff, coroner, county
treasurer and county comptroller. The
democrats, however, seem TO have kept
their control of the Levy Court.
The details of the election will be
found in the tables of votes printed
elseyhere. That these tables are not
complete is due to their abnormal size,
consequent upon the great number of
candidates voted for. In this respect
the election in Delaware was most
notable. Should later returns change
any of the results set forth above as
being very probable, the fact will be
duly announced in later editions of
Every Evening.
1t is probable that james G. Shaw,
Sr., Mckinley elector, has been do
feated and one of the Bryan electors
elected. This is because Mr.. Shaw
was voted for as james g. Shaw, Sr. I"
on the Addicks ticket, and James g.
Shaw" on the Higgins ticket, and
that in many districts the votes were
counted for two different persons.
RECEIVING THE RETURNS.
Every Evening never had such a
crowd in front of it's bulletin boards as
