TEXAS.
The State Claimed for Bryan by 1O0,-
900 Plurality.

Austin, Tex, Nov 3.-The election pass
ed off quietly with very fun vote. Local
tickets were so mixed that the counting
proceeds slowly and in the city will not
be completed until morning. Complete re-
turns from the Third ward give Bryan a
majority Of two over Mckinley, Vice Pres
ident not being voted for Ceveland's
plurality in the same ward four years
ago was 49, Complete returns from the
Fourth ward give Bryan 2 plurality. The
same ward gave Cleveland plurality.
Two years ago the democratic plurality
for governor in the same wards was 155.
The Indications are that Mckinley will
carry the city and county by small plu-
rality. Sayers, dem, for congress- will
have a large majority in the city and
county.
State Chairman Blake, dem, at this
hour g D. m) estimates Bryan's plurality
at 100000 and that Culberson for COVER
nor, will have 1900 plurality. He says
solid democratic congressional delegation
of thirteen members has been returned.
No definite returns can be expected be-
fore tomorrow.
Returns from over the state come IN
slowly; those received up to II o'clock
show an increase In the opposition to the
democratic ticket of at least 10000, and
should 1t be kept up Mckinley will carry
the state. ETlVdLt LeicBFdmb Indicate
that the state will be close, but the dem
ocrats claim that Bryan and Sewall will
carry 1t by 5000. They also claim that
Culberson, dem, for governor, will be
elected by 1000. but the returns thus far
do not sustain the estimate. Partial re-
turns from congressional districts indl-
cate the election OF Gross, rep, in the
Eleventh, and Mancion in the Twelfth.

COMPLICATION OF CONGRESS.
Ench Branch Expected to Have n
Republican Majority.

HeDuDlltAn WAJVLAtSs
New York. Nov. S.-Along with the pres
,dency and a large majority of the House
of Representatives the republicans seem
70 be in a fair way to secure a majority
of the Senate in the Fifty-fifth congress.
Certainly there will be a majority for
sound money and theoretically a majority
in favor of a revenue measure to enable
the government to meet its expenditures.
The f1fty-nine holdover senators are
classified as follows:
Republicans on the st. Louis platform,
a.
Silver republicans, 5.
Sound money democrats, z.
Silver democrats, l6.
Populist5, 2.
JInclassified democrats, %.
Successors to retiring senators are al
ready elected in five states. Four of these,
Allison of Iowa, Morrill, of Vermont, For
aker of Ohio, and Wellington of Mary
land. are sound money republicans The
other. McInerney of Louisiana, was elect
ed as a free silver democrat. Georgia and
Alabama will send free silver democrats.
The Arkansas legislature will return Sem
ator Jones, a free silver democrat.
The legislature in Florida will probably
send a sound money successor to Senator
Call.
The oregon legislature is in the hands
of the republicans and Senator Mitchell
believes he will be returned. He is now on
the Chicago platform.
The Kentucky legislature at its session
last winter failed to elect a successor to
Senator Blackburn 1t is understood to be
the intention of the governor to call an
extra session in January, when the repub-
leans will elect man.
According to dispatches of the United
Associated Presses the following states
will elect republican senator's: Connecticut,
Indiana, Illinois, New Hampshire, New
York North Dakota, Pennsylvania,
South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
The following will choose free silver re-
publican senators. Colorado. Idaho, Ne
vada and Utah.
South Carolina will choose a free silver
democrat The following states are in
doubt at this hour, but the general trend
of the returns make the probabilities IA
vor republican senators: California, Kans-
as, Missouri, North Carolina and Wash
ington.
Delaware, which is now represented by
but one senator. will probably elect a re-
publican. Upon the basis of these changes
assuming that the doubts are resolved in
favor of the republicans in the states
named, the next Senate. will stand as
follows:

ant, but partly cloudy. The polls opened
at O'Clock and long lines of voters were
waiting at every precinct where business
men predominated, this being less marked
IN the workingmen's precincts. Practi-
cally the entire vote was polled by noon.
The voters generally occupied booths bur
a moment, indicating a straight vote.
The Register, Rep, claims that Iowa
will give Mckinley over $4,000 plurality
and elect the entire republican congress
sional delegation.
Des Moines, Ia. Nov S.--Iowa returns to
$3.50 p. M, are chiefly from rural precincts.
They indicate uniform and great republic
can gains. The republican state committee
now claims the state by 100, 900, and the
democrats still refuse to make a state
ment, declaring that returns are not suf-
hciently complete. They admit, however,
that the situation is against them. Indi-
cations from the returns are that the re-
publicans elect all the eleven Iowa con-
gressmen. The Palmer vote in the state is
very light, the sound money democrats
having almost all voted for Mckinley.
Des Moines Ia, Nov. 8, s p. m.-The
heavy vote in Iowa counts very slowly.
Scattering returns, chiefly from the rural
precincts where the republicans expected
to be weakest, indicate that the state re-
publican committees claim of 5000 piu-
ralitY for Mckinley will be bettered, and
100000 seems likely to be reached. Palmer
and Buckner will poll a very light vote,
probably not over 5000.
Secretary Raynor of the republican COM
mttee, at o'clock claimed the state by
$1,000. The democratic committee refused
to make an estimate, claiming the returns
were too meagre. The republican COM
mittee claims TO have elected all the elev
en- congressman in Iowa, but no returns
have been received as yet from the Second
and Sixth, which are the closest districts.

1t is estimated that the democrats and

free silver republicans two-eighths of the
fusion vote.
This city has probably been carried by
Mckinley and Sullivan and possibly King
county. The republicans claim Sullivan
has carried the city of Tacoma and Poor
county by 1900 majority.
Bryan appears to have carried Spokane
city and county by good majority, and a
number of other eastern Washington
counties.

slowly reports have been received from

those are incomplete, but they indicate
that Mckinley leads. Sherman McLaugh-

clines to give any estimate of the vote,
but he believes that Mckinley will carry
the state on the other hand Chairman AL
ford of the democratic state committee
claims the state for Bryan by safe ma
jority. Both sides maintain that they will
elect a majority of the congressional can
didates, and also secure the next legisla-
ture on joint ballot.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. S.-The vote in
this state, from the present outlook, will
be much less than in August this year
or in November, 1892 The ticket Is so long
that but few boxes have been received,
and those not sufficient to base esu-
mates on. There is no separation of
names by tickets in Alabama, but every
thing is on a straight ticket, and names
alphabetically, making the count slow
and tedious. Bryan will have the state,
but by greatly reduced majority. Clark,
the sound money candidate for congress-
in the Second district and Conner in the
Third, are making strong run. with
even chances of success.
