WISCONSIN

Milwaukee, Wis, November S,--Up to II D. m. not over per cent of the election returns have been received. On this basis 1t is impossible to make an accurate fore cast. Chairman Treat, of the republican committee, estimates that Schofield will carry the state by 3s.oOO to 10000. and claims nine congressman. On the other hand Democratic Committeeman Wall says he will cencede nothing at present nor will he give any figures. He says the latest re- turns favor the democrats. From con- servative standpoint it looks as though Schofield will carry the state by some what reduced plurality from the figures es- timated by Chairman Treat

Indianapolis, November 9.-At l a. m. Chairman Martin, of the democratic state committee, said the returns were not suf- ficiently complete to determine as to the state. The republicans have probably elected in the Sixth, Eighth, Tenth. Eleventh and First districts, though the last is not conceded. Democrats claim the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, ninth, Twelfth and Thirteenth districts. The legislature is still in doubt. It will be impossible to give reliable figures on state, congressional or Legislative results until tomorrow Both parties claim all three.

FLORIDA.

Jacksonville, Fla, November. B. The he vote today, judging from returns now h, is from 10 to 20 per cent lighter for both parties than in 1896. The whole democratic ticket is elected. The light vote is due to the feeble resistance offered. The consti- tutional amendment requiring that bonds of state officers be in sound surety and guarantee companies was carried over whemingly. The republicans and populists will not elect altogether over five members of the legislature if that many. The legis- lature elected today will choose a successor to Senator Pasco.

MICHIGAN.

Detroit, November S.-Scattering returns and estima tes from the state at o'clock seem to indicate Gov. Pingree's reelection by 4O,0OO and upwards. The governors re- publican losses seem to be offset by gains in floating and fusion votes.
 Detroit, Mich, November SEA precincts give Pingree, republican, 14,S51; Whiting, democrat, 11,Os4.
 Detroit, Mich. November Ex-Governor Pingree held his own very well in today's election.

 The entire list of Michigan republican congressional candidatec appears to be elected, although the democrats still have hopes of carrying the Second district and do not concede the Third, Eighth and Tenth. The democratic committee claim to have made gains in the legislature enough to sat a third of it's members, but it is geenrally believed that the legislatur will be about four-ffths republican,
 At a. m. enough returns have been re- ceived to insure the election of the entire republican state ticket by at least 10000 plurality, and legislature overwhelmingly republican.

ILLINOIS

Chicago, November S.-Five and probably six congressman have been gained in llli- nois by the democrats and the next con- eii slonaI delegation from this state is
 y to be evenly divided eleven demo- 'erats and eleven republicans. It is possible for the republicans to have twelve of the twenty-two congressman, as all the returns are not yet in, but the indication are for an even split on the delegation.
 The entire republican state ticket is elected by about 9O,O00 plurality. In Cook county the vote has been very close. the republicans carrying the county and the democrats the city of Chicago. The demo- cratic plurality in the city is about 5000 and the republican, plurality about the same in the county. Chicago, November S.-Thirty-fve pre- cincts in Chicago give Whittemore, repub- lican state treasurer, 4,463i Dunlap, demo- crat, 3,463.

MISSOURI.

Kansas City, Mo-, November S.-The city has been carried by the republicans by d majority of from 200 to 1,500.
 St. Louis, November S-Late returns on the state ticket from the city and state are coming in very slowly, and at 10 p. m. not enough figures had been received from scattering presincts in indicate the result
 in even one county. Chairman Sam B. Cook, democratic state chairman, is conf1- dent that the state ticket will receive about the same majority as in 1896; that the party
 will hold all the congressional districts car- ried two years ago and possibly one or three St. Louis districts.
 While there are no returns at republican headquarters to warrant the assertion, Na- tional Committeeman Richard Keigs is
 very confident that the republicans will
 carry or come nearer carrying Missouri than ever before. He says that more quiet, effective work has been done by the repub- lican state committee than in any previous campaign.
 St. Louis, Mo-, November 8.-Twenty-ons precincts out of 462 in this city give the head of the democratic judicial ticket 2,742, republicans 1,423
 Lebanon, Mo-, November S-Meag gre re- turns received from the Eighth district up to 1 a. m. indicate the reelection of Rich ard P. Bland, silver democrat, by 2,O00 pfu- rality. Mr. Bland's plurality two years ago was 4200 ff Kansas City. Mo-, November 9-Partial returns at 2 a. m. indicate that the demo- crats have carried Kansas City and Jack son county for their state county and con gressona ticket by at least 1,5OO plurality. St. Louis, November 9.-Up to 1 a. m. returns both from the city of St. Louis and state of Missouri were far from complete. At democratic headquarters returns from forty out of IA equities inl the state seemed to indicate that the democtat tic majorities on the state and congressional tickets of 1896 would be equaled. The claim was made that success in the doubt full counties of Butler, Carroll and Scotland and the election of five additional demo- cratic representatives in St. Louis, with smart gains elsewhere insured larger majority in the state legislature for the democrats than they had two years ago. Richard Bartholdt, republican, Tenth | district, is undoubtedly elected, but the Eleventh and Twelfth are in doubt and claimed by both parties. The other thir- teen congressional districts are probably democratic, but it will take complete re- turns to settle this.

 St. Paul. Minn., November 9.-It seems new to be only a question of Lind's majorr ity. as his election is practically conceded. The republicans have elected congressman in the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Seventh districts. with the sixth in doubt. The democrats have probably also elected one of the supreme court judges.
 St. Paul, November S.-Minnesota has not always been considered a doubtful state, but that is certainly her position this year. Two years ago Mckinley had plurality Of nearly 54,O0O for president, and Clough Tor governor was elected by 5000, notwith- standing some adverse local conditions as to the state .]icket. This year the state is not only doubtful, but at midnight was be- ing generally placed in the democratic col umn, at least so far as the governor is con- ceIned.
 Eustis, the republican candidate, ran be- hind his ticket in most of those precincts where the vote on all the candidates was given, so that the fact that much fuller re- turns will be needed to decide between the gubernatorial candidates is looked on as a pl esumptive evidence that the rest of the republican ticket is probably elected. The legislature will elect successor to Senator Davis and is concededly republican The republicans have certainly elected four congressman, the other three being doubt ful rather than positively democratic..
