/ in this hundred. There ID much specu-
lation - 10 the resnlt and the Repnbli-
cans claim to have reduced the usual
Democratic majority TO about 40, which
majority in the hundred.
Reports from other hundreds in the
county are indicative OF Republican sue
cess, and little doub4 is felt by the party
leaders that the county has gone Repub-
lican by fully 300 majority.
Schemes of intimidation were tried on
all sides by the Democrats.
MILFORD, $50 p. m.-The friends of
Simeon s. Pennewill rallied to his sup
port at the polls to-day and though the
contest was warm one between him and
Joseph E. Holland for State Senator, but
the Republicans think they have slightly
the better of the situation. They feel
confident that they have also elected
their State, county and legislative ticket
in the First Senatorial District OF Sussex.
Lewes, $50 p. m.-The Republicans
feel satisfied that they have carried
Lewes and Rehob0th hundred by 80 ma
jority.
Party leaders claim a sweeping victory
on the face of the large vote that was
polled.
Lincoln City, Gas p. m.-The whole
First Senatorial District has gone Repub-
lican by probably 375 majority. Reports
from North West Fork hundred speak of
great Republican gains and the leaders
Of the Union Republican party are jubi-

probably run 10 ahead of Democratic
majority. Handy, Ross and Bishop run
even ticket.
Hoffecker, though in his home, will
not run ahead of Republican vote Of 40.
Some Democrats will vote for him, but
many negroes claim they will cut him
because he has always refused negroes
work in his cannery. Negro vote then
will balance the vote of Democrats for
Hoffecker.

Of returns in New York State necessary
to alter the aspect of probable Roose-
welt victory, as stoted in my last special
New York bulletin, appears to be de-
veloping as Republicans are losing
ground throughout the upper counties.
However, Van Wyck has kut a majority
of 65,555 in 1854 Greater New York
districts. TLerc are 1862 districts to hear
from, and these should swell the majority
to 100000 to enable him to beat the
state.
New York Nov. S.-"Colonel Roose-
velt's election and the election of his
associates on the State ticket is assured
beyond the shadow of doubt. The Leg
islature will be Republican on joint
ballot by good majority, and great
delegation Of Republican Congressman is
to be sent to Washington from the State
of New York to sit in the fity-sixth ses-
sion of the House Of Representative.
Roosevelt will have 100000 plurality or
more.
THOMAS G. PLATr.
New YORK, Nov. So expect plu-
ra1ity of $4,000 for Roosevelt up the

over Mr.. Van Wyck of $4,000. I be-
lieve the vote IN New York city will
disappoint the Democratic leaders.
