man of the Democratic State Central
Committee Comedies State to Shaw by
Forty Thousand.
DEs MONIES, Nov. 9.-Returns from
80 out of the SO counties of the state
with estimates on the others. show that
the Republican claim of 10000 plurality
for Governor Shaw is easily maintained
and may go slightly above that figure.
His majority over all candidates for
governor is estimated at $4,000, which
is the largest in the history of the state
on the gubernatorial vote. Compared
with the vote of 1898 the vote OF this
year shows an increase of about 3 per
cent for the Republicans and 10 per
cent for the Democrats, which would
243,O00 and the Democratic vote about
10000. But this is falling off from
the vote Of 1897 of about and 10 per
cent respectively. The legislature will
stand: Senate, 35 Republicans and Is
Democrats; house, S3 Republicans and
II Democrats, a gain of II votes on
joint ballot for the Republicans. Both
the Gear and Cummins forces claim
majority Of the Republican votes for
the United States senatorship.
Chairman Huffman of the Democratic
state committee said: "We attribute the
victory Of the Republicans to the sena-
torial fight between Cummins and Gear
and to the use of amounts of money in
various Districts

that an average vote has been polled
throughout the state. The weather was
cool and cloudy. Late in the afternoon
rain began falling, which may delay
some of the returns.

the 2,OS2 in the state give Shaw 91,593;
| White 67,565 The same precincts two
years ago gave Shaw $3.50; White 72,
392. This is net Republican gain of
1858 or about IA to the precinct. The
same ratio if kept up for the state will give
a Republican plurality Of about 10000.
There are few Republican gains III
the legislature and the indications are
the Republicans will have 11S of the
$50 members.
