by tho Republicans, While in Ne
Out Victorious.
Dies Moines, Iowa, Nov. 10: The repub-
licans will have 115,out of the $50 members
of the general assembly OF joint ballot
next winter. This is a gain of fifteen.
The republicans, including %holdovers, will
have six members of the senate, and they
have elected seventy-nine members OF the
house. The legislative contests were re-
markably close i'll a number of counties,
and some of the results were surprising;
In half a dozen districts the official
count is apt TO make a change.
According to the unofficial figures
one republican, Thienan, is elected
to the house from Scott by u plurality of
i vote. III. w. Esyers, republican, eN-
speaker of the house. is, on the face OF the
returns, elected to the house again from
Shelby County by 8 votes. Einllle. repub-
lican, was elected to the house from Wayne
County by but Is votes, the county going
republican by 400. i. L. Ayrcs, rcpnb-
lican, was elected to the house in Chiclka-
saw, although the county went 300 for
White, and i'll Carroll County Bennett. re-
publican, was elected to the house by i0t,
although White carried the county by 800.
G. s.. Ranck, who was IL democratic MEM
her of the last senate, and accepted a re-
nomination from the republicans of the
Iowa-Johns0n district, was showed under,
running far behind his ticket, although
the Warren-Clark senatorial district went
strongly republican. Senator Berry, re-
publican. was defeated for reelection
through local influences. NJ. l.. Temple
was once more elected to the house from
Clark county. Two years ago lie was de-
featcd by q democrat after making a fight
for the famous ssTcmple amendment"
Claude r. Porter, democratic candidate
for secretary of state last year, ran far
enough ahead of his ticket to secure his
election as senator in the Davis AppanOosc
district.
Returns from ninety of the %ninety-nine
counties of the state, with estimates on the
others, show that the republican claim of
$4,000 plurality for Gov. 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 of
the gubernatorial vote. Based OH the vote
of 1898, the vote this year shows a repub-
lican increase of about 3 per cent. for the
republicans and 10 per cent. for the demo-
Gratis, which would make the total repub-
lican vote in the neighborhood of 243,O00
and the total democratic vote about 10000.
H.i. this is Il falling off from the vote of
1875 of about = to 10 per cent. respectively.
The legislature will stan !: Senate 35 re-
publicans and l5 democrats; house, 81 re-
-lnblicans and IL democrats, a gain of IL
