sionists suffered from this cause.
Minnesota.
John Lind, silver Republican, with
Democratic and gold Fopulst indorse
yaent, who, few years ago, as Republi-
can, represented Minnesota distries in
the national Congress, has large plu
rality In the State over Eustis, Rep. The
rest of the Republican ticket has been
chosen. All seven Republican Congress
men have been elected. The Legislature
will be Republican, but not by SO great
majority as at first thought. Seventy
seven Republicans are known TO have been
elected.
Indiana.
Nearly complete returns from about
eighty counties of the ninety-two in In
diana emphasize the Republican victory
and indicate that the majority on the
State ticket will be in the neighborhood Of
1900, that the Republicans have carried
eight certainly and possibly nine out of
the thirteen congressional districts, and
have elected majority in both branches
of the General Assembly and will contrvl
that body on joint ballot by from twenty
to twenty-five votes.
Kentucky.
The latest returns from the Ninth con-
gressional district indicate that Mordecai
Williams, Democrat of Catlettsville HI 8
defeated the incumbent, Samuel Pugh,
Republican, of Vaneeburg, by majority
Of about $50. This gives the Democrats
tea Of the eleven Congressman from Ken
lucky, gain of three Congressman for
the Democrats In the State. The Fifth,
Eighth and Ninth are the districts that
somersaulted into the Democratic camp.
The election returns received Wednes-
day bear out the regular Republican gain
of 8 per cent. From the rate of gains 1t
is clear that the plurality for Kinney,
Rep, for Secretary of State, will be over
5000. The bitter fight made on personal
grounds against j. e. Blackburn, Repub-
lican candidate for Food Commissioner,
shows in the returns from the country, es-
pecially in the butter-making districts of
the Western Reserve.
Kansas.
The Republicans made a sweep in Kan
sas, electing seven of the eight Congress
men. This is gain of five Republican
Congressman. The Republican State
ticket is elected by from 5000 to 10000
majority. Before the farmers were heard
from, Republicans conceded victory to the
fusionists. Leaders of both parties are
unable to account for the heavy Republi-
can gains throughout the agricultural dis
trictS.
North Dakota.
Late returns from over the State have
swelled the Republican majority. Spald-
ing, Republican nominee for Governor,
gets the largest vote. Returns show that
twenty-one out Of thirty-one Senators are
Republican, while in the House fifty-four
Republicans of sixty-two have been elect
ed. This gives the Republicans fifty-six
majority on joint ballot.
Colorado.
The entire fusion State ticket, headed
by Charles g. Thomas, Dem, for Gov
ernor, is elected by majority approximat
ing about $4,000 This is by far the larg-
est majority ever given a candidate for
Governor in Colorado. The Republicans
won in only the eastern part of the State.
The fusionists have an overwhelming ma
jority in the Legislature.
Wyoming.
Returns of ten out of thirteen counties
of Wyoming give F-ank w. Mondell, Re
publican candidate for Congress, 1890
majority; DeForrest Richards, Repuhli-
can, for Governor, 1900; the rest of the
State ticket, 500. The Republicans have
fifty out Of fifty-seven members of the
State Legislature on joint ballot.
Pennsylvania.
The complete vote of the State, with
four counties missing, gives Stone, Rep,
455, 1872; jerks, Dem, 337, 1888; Swallow,
Pro. and honest government, 124, ,437, a
plurality for Stone of 122, ,0S9, which will
be increased to about 125, 900 by the COM
pIete returns. The total vote in the State
will approximate $4,000.
Virginia.
Virginia will have a solid Democratic
delegation in the next House by majori
ties sufficiently large to preclude any con-
tests for Democratic seats before the
House. The returns so far received give
Rhea 1.253 and no material change is
expected in these figures.
Nebraska.
Returns by counties Wednesday night
indicated scaling off of Republican
gains, making the State ticket in doubt
and so close that the official count may
be required. The Legislature is probably
Republican on joint ballot.

Ee,.. for Governor, majority of 1,200.
