Mr.. Bass and others well informed on
the matter. made some figures that
others thought were high. The returns
that have been coming In have led Sec

some estimates that are now proved to

Some Doubts About West Virginia.

Wheeling. w. Va, Nov. 10-The Re
publicans have elected two congress
men in West Virginia sure-Dovener
in the First CWheeling). and Freer in
the Fourth. Both parties claim the
Second and Third. Chairman Dawson,
of the Republican state committee,
claims the election of seven Republi-
cans and six Democrats to the state
senate and forty Republicans and thir-
ty-one Democrats to the house of dele
gates. With the holdover senators this
will give the Republicans a majority or
joint ballot Chairman OhIey. of the
Democratic committee, claims the legis-
lature on joint ballot.

RESULT IN THE PRAIRIE STATE.
About 10000 Plurality for the Republic
ans-Cook County Winners.

Chicago. Nov. 1O.-The result in this
state is a Republican victory on state
ticket and a loss of Republican con-
gressmen The legislature is Republic
an. One of the happiest men in the
state is John Humphreys. state senator
by u plurality of about 1.5C0 over two
candidates. one of them a Republican
run to beat him because he championed
the Allen street railway law. Every
paper in Chicago except the Inter-
Ocean was against Humphreys, and
they Criticised" him in the approved
manner without stint. There was no
division in the Chicago sphere Of in
terest." Both city and county went Re
publican.
Returns from all but eleven precincts
in Cook county show that the Repub-
iicans have elected their entire ticket
with the exception of two judges of the
superior court. The pluralities of the
Republican candidates in the county
run all the way from 1000 to $1,000.
the latter being the plurality of Cahill,
candidate for clerk of the criminal court.
The Republicans elect fifteen and the
Democrats seven representatives. Dem
oCratic successes We're in the Fourth.
Fifth. Sixteenth. Seventeenth, Eight
eenth. Nineteenth and Twentieth.
In the legislature the Republicans lose
eight senators and six representatives.
so far as known at this writing.

Clean Republican sweep in Michigan.

Detroit, Nov. 10.-According to more
complete returns Governor Pingree's
plurality Will reach about 10000, the
vote cast having been probably about a
fourth smaller this year. The Republi-
cans have elected solid representation
of twelve congressman by majorities
ranging from !. 100 to IL 600. The Demo-
Gratis will have dozen senators and
representatives in the legislature, about
equally divided between the two houses.
Senator Burrows reelection now
seems absolutely assured, notwith-
standing Pingree strongly favOrs the
candidacy of Albert Pack. Governor
Pingrees railroad taxation measures
are regarded as certain of enactment.

REVERSAL on REPRESENTATIVES,.
Democrats Capture the Majority of Them
in New York.


New York. Nov. 1O.-The latest fig
ures obtainable show that Roosevelt s
plurality in the state is not far from
10000. Only ten counties in the state
gave Van Wyck pluralities. and they
were all localities swayed by cities, an
New York. Kings. Queens and Erie.
The falling off in Roossvelt's plurality
as compared with Blacks in 1896 is due
to a decrease in the Republican vote
up the state of G1 600. and in Greater
New York OF 81. eco. Against this Van
Wyck gained 10000 above the Harlem
and $1,000 below it as compared with
Porter two years ago. The result on
congressman in this state seems to have
surprised even the Democrats them
selves. Nineteen of their candidates
