ELECTION RETURNS.
IOWA REPUBLICAN, BY ALMOST
$4,000 PLURALITY.
Republicans Also Garry Ohio. Massa'
chusetts and Kentucky Mary
land and Nebraska Are
Democratic.

h Dies MONIES, Nov. 9.-Practically
complete unofficial returns from Iowa
indicate that Governor Shaw is re-
elected by $4,000 plurality. The re-
mainder Of the republican ticket runs
close to Governor Shaw. The extent
of the republican gains will be better
appreciated, perhaps, when it is stated
that there will probably be only eigh-
teen democrats in the next house. In
the last house there were thirty-eight,
80 that the democrats lose more than
half in the lower body. BY curious
state OF facts, however, the democrats
gain three In the senate, SO that they
will have fifteen in the next senate, as
against twelve in the last senate. The
middle-of-the-road populists cast a
very small vote, but the prohibition
ticket. headed by Atwood, will poll
just about 1O, 1000, the heaviest vote it
has received in a number of years.
KENTUCKY. s-.
Louisville, Nov. S.-No matter what
result the face Of the returns of the
election show, contest is very likely
Il TO occur. Additional returns continue
TO show republican gains, and basing
an estimate upon the normal complex
ion Of the precincts still unreported,
Indicate plurality OF 1000 or g. 900 for
Nv. s. Taylor for governor. The be-
lated returns are mostly from noun
tain counties, which are strongly re-
publican. The Goebel people cling to
their claim Of plurality of 5000 in
the state, these figures being the esti-
mate made by the nominee himself
At Republican headquarters in this city
Taylor's plurality is placed at 5000.
In neither case is it possible to get the
figures upon which the claim is based.
The legislature is democratic.
