Chicago, Nov. 9-Returns from every
county In the state indicate the election
of Whittemore, republican, for state treas
urur by nearly 10000 majority-for other
republican candidates probably larger. as
Whittemore was cut heavily In Chicago.
The lower house of the legislature will be
democratic by about six; the senate repub-
lican by II. In Cook county, including
Chicago, aside from congressman, the en-
tire republican ticket with possibly one or
two exceptions will be elected by 5000 to
6,oOO. Mckinley carried the county by
nearly 10000,
New York, Nov. 9.-Revised returns SO far
make practically no change from last
night, and show the election of Roosevelt
by $4,000 to 10000. The states congress
sionaI delegation will probably stand I5
republicans and I9 democrats, a demo-
cratic gain of e. The state legislature is
republican by 81 on joint ballot, ensuring
a republican United States senator to sue
ceed Senator Murphy.
Washington; Nov, 9.-Late this af
ternoon Chairman Babcock, of the re-
publican congressional committee, adj
mitted that the next house was in
doubt. He claims ia districts with
15 in doubt. One hundred and seven
ty-nine is majority.
Washington, Nov. 9. - Returns
make it certain that the United States
senate will have n republican major
ity after March 4. Allowing for the
election of the various new legisla
lures as indicated by the returns so
far. the republicans should have a
total of 4S or two more than a major
ity over all opponents. Five state
legislatures are in doubt. Nebraska,
West Virginia, Montana, Indiana
and Washington are not included in
the above estimates.
Chicago. Nov 9.-Up to this af-
ternoon the dispatches to the Associa-
ted Press show the republicans elected
164 mem mbers of congress, the demo-
Gratis $50, the populists and fusionists
6. This leaves 81 districts still to be
heard from.
San Francisco, Nov. 9. 9.-California
elected a republican governor and
probably the entire state ticket by a
plurality estimated at 5000 to 10000.

"a hours. Republicans have a large
majority in the legislature which this
winter elects United States senator
to succeed White.
Denver, Nov. 9.-The entire fusion
ticket was elected by 80, 900. The leg
islature is overwhelmingly fusion.
Milwaukee, Nov. 9.-Returns re-
ceived, though far from complete, in
dicate that Gov. Scofeld, repub blican,
was reelected by fully 10000. Re-
publicans elect congressman in every |
district except lhe Second, which is
still in doubt. The legislature is over
whelmingly republican.
Topeka, Nov. S.-The election in
Kansas is in doubt this morning, both !
sides claiming the state by small
majority. 1t will probably require |
the complete returns to decide the re-
suit.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 9.-Returns |
this morning continue to indicate that |
Nebraska has turned a complete !
somersault and landed in the republi- |
can column. Indications are that |
HAYWARD. republican. carries the |
state by over 1000. Conservative in |
dications are that the legislature is
republican on joint ballot The First |
and Second congressional districts are /
repu blicau, the Third and Sixth fusion
and the Fourth and Fifth doubtful.

ocratic congressman.
