! Milwaukee, Nov. S.-Everything took on
| it's normal condition Wednesday, and there
| were no signs that an election had been
| held. A complete figure of the republican
victory in Wisconsin will not be known
| for perhaps several days, as many Of the
| precincts are far distant from railway sta
tions and will be sent in by mail. Gen. Bry
/ ant, chairman of the republican state central
/ committee, reduced his claims of plurality
! slightly from those given out Tuesday
| night, placing his latest estimates at 1885,
| 900 for both national and state tickets.
! Chairman Warden, of the democratic state
| committee was at his Office attending to
| the winding up of the affairs of the COM
| mittee preparatory to closing headQuar-
| tiers, which he expects to do before the end
| of the week. Speaking of the result In the
| state, he said the stupendous majorities
| were surprise to everybody, republicans
| no less than democrats. The republican
| state headquarters will probably remain
open until the complete returns have been
| received. Interest Tow centerS in the ap-
pointments which will be made by Gov
| elect Robert M. LaFollette. But few
changes are likely to be made by the new
governor, and no changes are talked OF in
the Offices of the other state officers.

about 10000 behind his ticket. and May
| or Maybury, the democratic gubernatorial

/ ST. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 9.-The Dispatch
has complete returns from IS counties, in
! complete returns from u counties, with
! only two small counties missing, giving

ty over Lind fus).
Topeka, Kan, Nov. 3.-Returns received
only tend to confirm the early estimates of
the result of the election in Kansas. Prac-
| tically complete returns show that Nc
| Kinley has a plurality of Is, 900, and that
| the republican state ticket is successful by
a plurality of probably 5000 less. The leg
| islature will be republican in both
branches, insuring the election Of a repub-
| lican United States senator to succeed
| Lucien Baker. The republicans have GER
| tainly elected seven congressman, one dis
| trict, the Third, being still in doubt, with
! the chances in favor of the fusion candi-
! date. The election Of the fusion candidate
| in this district would leave the delegation in
| congress as at present, seven republicans
| and one fusionist.
