Democrats Claim Majority of the Con-
gressmen and the Legislature.
Indianapolis, Nov. 9.-Chairman Mar
lin, of the Democratic state committee.
says the returns are not as yet suffi-
,iently complete to determine as to the
state. The Republicans have probably
elected in the Sixth, Eighth, Tenth.
Eleventh and First districts, though the
ast is not conceded. The Democrats
.laim the Second, Third Fourth, Fifth.
Seventh, Ninth, Twelfth and Thirteenth
districts. The legislature is still in
loubt. 1t will be impossible to give re-
liable figures on state, congress or Leg
stature until today. Both parties claim
III three.
Indianapolis, Nov. 9.-Scattering re-
urns from precincts in Indianapolis
Ind Marion county indicate that the
Democrats have carried the city and
county. This secures Bailey's (Dem.)
dection to congress over Overstreet
Rep.), the present incumbent, and sew
IN Democratic members of the legisla-
ure instead of seven Republicans, the

Wabash, Ind, Nov. 9.-But meagre

Detroit Nov. 9.-Daniel j. Campau,
chairman of the Democratic state COM
nittee, comedies the reelection of Gov
krnor Pingree by a plurality of perhaps
$4,000. The Democratic committee is
much perplexed to account as TO where
he big Pingree vote came from, since
L is known that he was heavily cut
by leaders Of his own party, and that
n several localities where he met this
sort OF opposition he ran particularly
we'll. Chairman Campau declined to
make a formal statement on the re-
Iults until the causes become more evil

General Arthur +. Marsh, chairman

Ohio has given a plurality to the Re-
publican state ticket of from $4,000 TO

Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. 9.-The vote
Judging from returns now in is from
10 to 20 per cent. lighter for both parties
than in 1896. The whole Democratic
ticket is elected.
Columbia, S. c., Nov. 9-The Demo-
cratic state ticket was elected without
opposition. A very light vote was cast.
New Orleans, Nov. 9.-Reports received
assure the election of six Democratic
congressman from Louisiana.
Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 9.-Returns
indicate the election of every Democratic
congressman in the state.
Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 9.-Returns, par
tial, show an increase of $4,000 in Nc
Milln's majority over the Democratic
majority of 1896, and indications point
to a majority for McMilin for governor
exceeding $4,000.
Louisville, KY, Nov. 9.-The Demo-
Gratis of Kentucky carried nine and pos
sibly ten out Of the eleven congressional
districts in the state. The Republicans
carried only one district.
Richmond, Va, Nov. 9.-The election
in Virginia yesterday was the quietest

The result is that the state returns a
solidly Democratic delegation OF ten

Wilmington. Del, Nov. 9.-Partial re-
turns received from the state indicate
that the Republicans have elected their

Senator Gray and a gain of one Re-
nuhlican CONGRESSMAN.

Milwaukee, Nov 9.-National Demo-

that thirty-seven counties in the state

10000 plurality for governor, but ex-
poets further returns to wipe out these
figures.
The returns are far from being COM
plete, but enough have been received to
make the Republicans claim the elec-
tion of the entire state ticket by at
least 10000 plurality and a legislature
overwhelmingly Republican.
The Milwaukee county ticket has
probably gone Republican with the ex-
ception OF sheriff, which seems TO be-
long to the Democrats.

only a question of Lind's majority, as

Sixth in doubt. The Democrats have
probably also elected one of the su-

Philadelphia, Nov. 9.-Pennsylvania s

unsatisfactory. At midnight an esti-
mate based on the returns of the coun-
ties heard from indicate the election of
Stone by a plurality which may ex-
ceed 125, 900. Stone may have $4,000 plu-
rality in Philadelphia county alone.
Philadelphia, Nov. 9.-Because of the
large ticket and extensive cutting by
independent voters the returns from
Philadelphia and Pennsylvania are
slower than usual. Enough is known,
however, TO indicate that William A.
Stone, Republican, is elected governor
by large plurality. The vote on the
