Congress. All the ten democratic nominees
have been elected, according to returns re-
ceived late last night md today. The hard
est fight was In the ninth district, where
Judge William F. Rhea, democrat opposed

Rhea has probably defeated General Walk
er by 1909 to 1,500- ma jerity.
The other democrats won by from $500
to 1000. The democratic plurality on the
vote for representatives III this state will
strike somewhere between 10000 and 68,@D.
In the ninth district, where the fight
waged hottest, Rhea's majorities. so far
as heard from, are follows: Pulaski, SO;
Smyth. 40: Wythe, 116; Scott 30 Giles,
592. Craig. $50: Russell. 49l Bristol, i69.
General Walker has about 100 majority in
TaZewell county and probably 450 in Wise
and Washington counties combined. Slow
returns from Buchanan. Bland. Lee, Dick
ensOn, indicate that Judge Rhea will get
small majorities there.
The majorities estimated for the demo-
cratic nominees are as follnws:W. A. Jones.

tha democrats have elected Charles F..
McCorkel. C. Harding Walker and B. w l..
Blanton to fiji vacancies in the state SER
ate. McCorklc was closely pushed by Full

What Later Returns show.
Later returns show that Pittsylvania
county gives Swanson (dem) 2.l95 majority
Henry county gives him Ill majority: Gray
son. III, and Franklin, .33. Carroll has
not been heard from fully. but probably
goes for Swanson by 200. Patrick is very
close. with small majority for Swanson.
The indications are that Parr (repD carries
only Floyd county and that by only 4o)
majority. which Is republican loss of $40.
Swansons majority in the district is fully
$500.

Republican COngressmen.

Republican COngressmen.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, November O.
California has elected republican gov
ernor, and probably the entire state ticket
by pluralities estimated at from five to
twenty thousand. Complete returns will
not be in for twenty-four hours at lest
but the election of Henry T. Gage, republ-
can. over James G. Mcguire, democrat, is
coEceded. The republicans have swept
everything before them, and John D.
Spreckels, the California member of the
republican natioral committee claims the
election of six out of seven congressman.
There is even some doubt regarding the
election of Devries democrat, in the sec
ond, who two years ago defeated Represen-
tative Grove L. johnson by 5000. but Dev-
ries will probably win by a small margin.
In the fourth district, represented for three
terms by Jas. G. Mcguire. Kahn, repuOli-
can, has teen elected by 1900 plurality
over Barry, democrat, and Barlow end
Castle are probably defeated for reelection
in the sixth and seventh districts respec-
lively
The congressional delegation from Cali
fornia will be as follows:
First district, Barham, republican.
Second, Devries, democrat.
Third. Metcalfe republican.
Fourth Kahn, republican.
Fifth, Loud, republican.
Sixth Waters, republican.
Seventh, Needham, republican.
The republicans will have a large ma
jority in the legislature, which will this
winter elect United States senator to sue
ceed Stephen NJ. White, democrat
The fight for the mayoralty of San Fran
cisco has been eagerly contested, and the
result is yet uncertain. The indications
are, however, that Jas. D. Phelan, the pres
ent mayor, will be reelected by a small
II uajority.

Gains by Both Parties.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, November 9.-At
L O'Clock. with one-ffth of the state
precincts heard froLl, the indications are that
the republican plurality will be near Is, 900.
It may vary 1900 either way from that esti-
mate. The democratic state committee
early this morning conceded that the re-
publicans had won in the state. Large
democratic gains are shown by some coun-
ties, while other counties show large re-
publican gains.
The vote of representatives has come in
slowly, but such returns have been re .
-cefved indicate that the republicans have
wen in all the districts except the second
third, fourth ard twelfth. Some DOUBT as
to the result in the fifth and eighth dis
tricts is still expressed by the democrats
who have an impression that the later re
tgrns will show that they have won in
those districts.
