IOWA.

Des Moines. Nov. 4.-Chairman Nc
MILAN of the Republican state COM
niittee has complete returns from "a
counties and estimated returns from the
five remaining counties. BY this means
he has figured a plurality for Shaw Of
about 3l,7S2. He thinks that these
figures vii. vary but little from the cor
rected returns when the five estimated
counties are reported. The plurality
may be set down as above 81 900 and
below $4,000.
Chairman Walsh of the Democratic
state committee thinks that errors in
the returns may reduce the plurality
for Shaw 10 10000. The Republican
plurality last year was 65,522. accord
ing to Republican estimates. 1t is there

ago il was $4,000. Then the Populists

would have larger plurality this year
than two years ago
The Legislature is safely Republican.

are Republicans and II Populists and
Democrats. The house has 100 MEM

change his estimate of 10000 plurality
for the entire fusion ticket.
Newspaper returns comprised 81 coun-
ties complete and four incomplete.
Every county but two of these 50 shows
a fusion gain and this warrants the dec

RECIPROCAL TARIFFS.

Washington, Nov. 4-The government
Is favorably considering the question
CT recurring TO the system of reciproc-
ity for encouraging our commercial re-
lations with Canada. IL Is known that
Mr.. Kasson. who has been specially
charged with the arrangement of re-
ciprocity plans under the new tariff act.
is friendly to such a course of action.
The last reciprocity treaty which gov
erned the relations of the two countries
was terminated by act Of congress on
the assumption that the benefits were
not equally divided between them and
that Canada had the advantage.
IL has been known here for some time
that the West Indian possessions OF
Great Britain were urging the home gov
ernment to secure them all the reciproc-
ity advantages possible under the
p'ngley act. The initiative was taken
by British Guiana, where the high court,
or colonial legislature. unanimously
adopted resolutions requesting the au-
thorities at London to Instruct the Brit
ish ambassador at Washington to Sc
cure all the advantag ges offered other
countries in the line of reciprocity. The
debate in the high court brought out
the statement that the sugar industry
of the colony, which is the chief one, was
dependent to n large extent on the Amer
lean market. the shipments TO the United
States exceeding those TO all other coun :
tries combined. IL was also stated
during the debate that the Dingley act
would permit a reciprocity arrangement
under which British Guiana would con-
tinue her shipments of sugar to thi.

Boston, Nov. i-Georg Fred Williams
has given out statement on the election.
in which he says in part: My views
upon Tuesdays election i'm Massachu-
setts are that radicalism under the
Democratic name has been strengthened
somewhat in its position and emboldened
in its course. and will continue in the
field growing quantity TO be reckoned
with in the near future. The lines are
obviously hardening as between Re-
publican conservatism and Democratic
policies OF change and upheavsS. and
between the two no room Will be found
for building up a leading opposition to
Republcanism.
What is here said of Massachusetts,
applies with even greater force 10 the
rest OF the country. The results there
and in Massachusetts, ought to be de-
cisive Of the insignificance OF what IS
called the gold vote. The farce has ended
in Kentucky. and il ought TO be clear 10
the little handful in Massachusetts, that
there is no future possibility either for
the maintenance of an organization at
the hands Of the Democratic party for
these gentlemen. / am much pleased

The indications from all over the

though others at Democratic head
quarters concede that the legislature
viii be Republican on close majority
OF one or more, Chairman McConvillc
does not concede the control of that body
10 the Republicans. He said the Re-
publicans claimed the legislature by
40 to 80. He struck the representatives
from Wood and Noble counties from
their list, also the senator from The.
Marion-Logan district, and said these
three changes would make the legisla-
ture stand ~ Democrats TO 72 Ropub-
licans, and he would ne-.Nr give either
90 these doubtful members UP till the
official count was completed. He also
contests the election of two Of tho II
members from Cuyahoga county. which
would make the legislature stand IS
Democrats and 20 Republicans. Chair
man McConville says he believes the
Democratic representatives were elected

frauds in Noble and Wood counties and

Denver, Nov. 4.-The result OF the cleo

which supported Hayt. candidate OF the
Republicans and silver Republicans.
claims his election by less than 1000. Re-
turns and estimates so far received show
Hayt So votes in the lead. Counties yet
TO be heard from are divided and some
doubtful. The cbairmen OF the Populist
and Democratic parties claim that full
returns will give their candidate, Cab
bert from 1000 TO 1900 majority.
In this (Arapahoo) county the entire
silver Republican ticket was successful
except Berstadt for sheriff. The Re-
publicans claim his ele ,tion. but the vote
between him and Webb, civic federation
candidate, Is so close that the official
ngures VIII be necessary 10 decide IL.
The county gave Hayt for supreme judge
a majority OF about 5000. This is a little
more than was received by any of the
candidates for county officers.
In all the most populous counties the
silver Republicans claim victory. In
Pueblo county their majorities range
from 300 10 1900. In FL Paso county the
majority is about the same. From re-
turns now in IL appears that Hayt and
Gabbert each carried the same number
OF counties.
The vote Of the Republicans (admin-
istration) in this county was quite a sur
prise TO many, reaching nearly 5000 i'm
total of $4,000. The leaders of the party
claim the vote for Hayt was far in ex-
the latter.
