VIRGINIA.
Richmond, Va, November 7.-As TO
the Virginia election, there is nothing
to discredit the forecast sent out last
night Returns, that ha va como in ca
far indicate a small vote, and but lit
tie interest with assured democratic
control of the general assembly by a
large majority.
The indications so far as to Virginia
are that the result is overwhelmingly
democratic. In the most hotly con-
tested senatorial district, however,
that made up of Isle of Wight, South
ampton and Nansemond-the independ-
ent candidate is elected. The vote was
generally light.
Richmond, Va, November RE
turns received up ito 1870 O'Clock to-
night show that both of the
legislature will be Overwhelmingly dem
ocratic. NE voting was exceedingly
light, the principal contests were be-
tween democrats and independents,
and the warmest of these fights was in
the Isle of Wight senatorial district,
where the democrats lost. Another
warm fight was in Shenandoah, for the
house, the independent candidate win
ming there also.
On the basis of present returns, it is
figured that seven anti democrats are
elected.

date. gave Beason, republican, a plu-
rality of 7 1926 and in 1895, the republi-
al plurality was 1S,443.

izing a $12, 600, 900 LOAF for the improve

mates a republican plurality of 10000
in Philadelphia, a republican loss of
over 3d. 900 as compared with 1897. The
loss is due to the small vote cast.

turns will be compared with the vote
on governor in 1897. There are 3,07S

official returns are in yet but unoft-
cial returns from two precincts give
Jones, independent, more votes than
Nash, republican, and Mclean, demo-
crat, together.
Columbus, O., November 7.-Out of
3,078 voting precincts In Ohio, e. are in
Lucas county, ITO IN CuyanOSd county,
and 270 in Hamilton county. Owing
to fusion in Hamilton, confusion in
~Cuyahoga and Jones residing in Lucas,
these three counties are considered

Mclean and the Jones vote being as
Independent of factions as of parties.
