Indiana Count Slow.
Neither of the state committees has
received returns that make any mate
rial change in the estimate of the Re-
publican plurality in the state. The
majority will range from IA 900 TO &c.
600 on the head of the ticket. 1t may
go higher, but it will not scale any
lower. The returns are unusually slow
coming in, and the exact plurality
will not be obtainable until the official
count The Republicans have elected
nine out of the thirteen congressman
in Indiana, and the Democrats have
elected the other four The Republic
ans carried the districts they carried IN
1896 and the Democrats did the same

California Results.
Although complete returns have not
yet been received from all the counties
| of California, the indications are that
the majority of Henry Il. Gage (Rep.
for governor will be nearly 10000. His
associates on the state ticket are al
elected, with the possible exception OF
Curry, for secretary of state. who rar
far behind his ticket and may have
been beaten by Thompson, Democratic
candidate. For justices of the SUI
preme court Mcfarland (Rep) ant
Vandyke (Dem.) are in the lead. ant
will probably win, as the precincts tC
be heard from are not expected Il

posing candidates.
Mayor Phelan is elected in San
Francisco by about 5000 majority. but
with the exception OF the assessor ant
three superior judges and two super
