IowA's REPUBLICAN PLURALITY.
DIES MONIES. Ia, Nov. 4.-The re
turns by counties are nearly all In
now. Chairman Mcmillan, of the re
publican state committee, has COM
plcte returns from % counties, and has
estimated returns from the FIVE re.
mining counties by this means he
has figured n plurality for Shaw, re,
publican. of about 3l,7s2. The plural
ity may be set down as above $1,000
and below $4,000. Chairman Walsh, OF
the democratic state committee, thinks
that errors in the returns may reduce
the plurality for Shaw to 30 000 The
republican plurality last year was
G5, 5s2, according to republican esti-
mates; II is, therefore, just about cut
in two. The legislature is safely re-
publican. The senate has 80 mt mbers,
OF which IS are republicans and II pop
uiists and democrats. The house has
100 members. OF whom the republicans
have elected O. and the populists and
democrats 80. The register last night
figured out republican plurality Of 35,-
600. These figures are based on prac-
tically complete returns. This will
give Shaw q majority Of nearly 10000,
which Is in excess Of that Of two years
ago.
