ulsuicts are having close run so
far as the returns received up to 1880
p. m. show.
Milwaukee, Nov. 5.-An estimate on
the makeup of the next legislature
gives republicans control by an over
whelming majority. The assembly
will probably consist of 70 republicans
and 2S democrats, and the senate rs
republicans and democrats. AS
majority of the republicans elected
| are pledged to support Senator John
| c. Spooner for reelection, the senator
! will probably be returned to the upper
house of congress.
Michigan.
Detroit, Mich, Nov. 5.-The repub-
licans of Michigan have elected Gov.
A. L. Bliss and their entire state
ticket, II of the 10 congressman and
an overwhelming majority of the
members of the legislature. The vote
was light throughout the state, and
the republican majority is estimated
at midnight at between 10000 and
10000, although Republican State
Chairman G. j. Diekema, insists that
it will be nearer 75,0OO basing his
statement on advices received from
the various county chairmen. AS was
expected, Gov. Bliss ran heavily be-
hind his ticket-from 10000 to 900.
it is estimated at midnight. L. L
Durand, the democratic candidate for
governor polled correspondingly
heavy vote, especially in Detroit,
which he carried by from 1000 to 5000.
At midnight, all indications pointed
to the election of Alfred Lucking
(dem.) to congress from the First
district John B. Corliss. the present
member was cut deeply. Total re-
turns from one-tifth of the precincts
in the First district give Lucking a
lead of nearly 1000.
While the returns indicate that the
democrats have increased by few
members their representation in the
state legislature, the republicans will
have an overwhelming majority in
both branches. This assures the cleo
ton of Gen. r. A. Alger to fill the I'M
expired term of the late United
States Senator James Mcmillan.
\ Indiana.
indianapolis, Ind. Nov. 5.-Indiana
went republican Tuesday by from 49,
600 to 100000. The congressional dele
cation remained the same, with nine
republicans and four democrats. The
legislature, will be about rs on Joint
ballot, and Senator Charles w. Fair
banks will be reelected to the United
States senate. This estimate is based
on unofficial returns received at the
| headquarters of the democratic and
republican state central committees,
and from the specials received from
every county in the state. Secretary
Bailey, of the democratic state com
mittee, at one o'clock conceded the
state to the republicans by from 25 900
| to 10000.
Des Moines, Ia. Nov. 5.-On the
basis of the precinct returns received
up to II p. IN. the republicans have
elected their state ticket by about u.s.
600 plurality. The reports from the
congressional districts are meager.
Enough has been received from the
Third to indicate that Judge Birdsall,
nominated by the republicans to sue
ceed Speaker David j. Henderson. ran
substantially with his ticket. and will
be elected by 1000 to 5000 votes over
former Gov. Boies. The returns indi.
! cate close counts in both the Sixth and
the Second districts, but they are not
numerous enough TO base an estimate
upon. At republican headquarters it
is asserted that the republican plural
ity in the state as a whole is sufficient
to carry all the congressional candi-
dates.
| St. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 5.-The entire
republican ticket has been elected in
Minnesota by plurality of certainly
over 10000 and possibly by over 80, 600.
Full returns have not yet been re-
ceived, but enough has come in to in.
dictate that the claim of Judge Jamison
that Gov. Van SAINT has been reelected
by over 10000 plurality is we'll
founded.
On the balance of the state ticket
very little has been received, but it is
believed all are elected by even great
err majorities than that for Van SAINT.
The legislature is republican in both
branches, the democrats not having
named candidates in many of the dis
tricts. On congressman, the repub-
leans claim the entire delegation of
nine. although very little has been
received from some of the districts.
| The First Second Third Fourth Sow
enth and Ninth are thought to be sure
ly republican, and also probably the
Eighth.
| Missouri.
St. Louis, Nov. SIN several dis
tricts the fight for congress is very
| close, and definite results will prob
ably not be known for "a hours. At
! republican state headquarters it is
claimed there is slight republican
gain in Missouri counties. At demo-
cratic headquarters il is claimed the
democratic ticket will come to St.
Louis with $4,000 to $4,000 majority
Indications point to a sweeping demo-
cratic victory in St. Louis, with plu-
rality of $4,000, the election Of two
democratic congressman out of three
and the full democratic city ticket.
KANSAS.
Topeka, Kan, Nov. 5.-Kansas has
gone republican by at least 10000 ma
jority. The entire state ticket and all
the eight congressman are elected by
the republicans. The republicans will
have a hundred members of the legis-
