vada, and as to these states the returns at this hour are not conclusive. Adding 49 to 116 gives the democrats 165. The democrats show they have made gain of three in Pennsylvania, one in Nebras- ka, one in Delaware, one in Wisconsin, two in Maryland one in Colorado and probably four in New York swelling the total to IFS This leaves them sixteen short of a majority. with the result in three doubtful southern d4stricts to be heard from and doubtful districts in the north and west from which the returns are as yet inadequate as follows:

Returns at o'clock add one democrat in New Jersey. one in Minnesota one in Illinois, two in North Carolina to the democratic repre- sentation-a total of six. But two of the gains credited to the democrats in Penn sylvania should properly be set down as fusion republicans, making the demo- crats actually elected by the returns thus far received 1S4, with the doubtful dis tricts in Minnesota having gone demo- cratic. the one in Kansas republican (Kansas having gone solidly republican,, and the one in Iowa republican.

Democracy swept Alabama in the elec- ton yesterday, giving the republicans one of the most crushing defeats that an opposition party has ever received in this state. The result of the contest was nothing more than the democrats had expected, as they had not conceded to the republicans a single county. The small republican vote in some localities was surprising.
 The democrats elect tneir entire state ticket as follows:
 Governor-William D. JeIks.
 Lieutenant Governor-R. M. Cunning ham.
 Secretary of State-J. Thomas Hefiin.
 Treasurer--J. Craig Smith.
 Auditor General-Massey Wilson.
 Superintendent of Education-I. W. Hill.
 Commissioner of Agriculture and Indus tries-Robert R. Poole.
 Nine congressman were also elected, the entire delegation being returned as follows:
 First District-G. w. Taylor.
 Second District-A. A. Wiley.
 Third District-Henry D. Clayton.
 Fourth District-S. J. Bowie.
 Fifth District-Charles w Thompson.
 Sixth District-J. H. Bankhead.
 Seventh District-John L. Burnett.
 Eighth District-Willlam Richardson.
 Ninth District-Oscar w. Underwood.
 The democrats have chosen all of the state senators and the returns do not t,-1f half dozen members of the lower house.
 Returns received by the Age-Herald from sixty-two counties last night inni- cate a majority for the state ticket of from 37,000 to 40,000. It appears that tn. following counties have democratic ma jorities as indicated: W
 Autauga 300, Baldwin 300. Barbour 1900, Bibb 500, Blount 200, Bullock 800, Butler 1000, Calhoun 1000, Chambers 1000 Chero- kee 200. Clay 300, Coffee 300 Colbert POO.

 This would foot up total democratic majority of 39,100. Chiffon, Marshall, St. Clair and Winston counties still appear in doubt. No returns have been received from Choctaw Dale, Franklin and Gov ington. but 1t Is expected that each of them have given democratic majorities.

which will choose a successor to Simon, has been elected and is republican.
 Including Delaware, therefore, twenty five seneators will be elected by the legis- latures chosen today. Those legislators were elected by the following states: In- diana, Delaware, Pennsylvania, two seats; New Hampshire, North Dakota, Nevada, South Dakota Illinois, Michigan, Idaho, Arkansas, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Utah, Colorado, Washington and Missouri Of these the republicans have surely carried thirteen, viz: Indiana, New Hampshire. North Dakota, South Dakota, Illinois, Pennsylvania, California, Connecticut, New York, Michigan, Kan sas Wisconsin and Washington, and the democrats seven, viz: North Carolina, Delaware, (probably), Arkansas, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama and Missouri. This insures fifty-two republicans and thirty-four democrats in the next senate. The results of the contests owing to the meagre returns received at this hour is still in doubt in Nevada. Idaho. Utah and Colorado, with the chances fayoring the election of democratic legislatures, Colo rado. Idaho and Nevada, and a republi- can legislature in Utah. If these proba- bilities should be realized, the senate will stand ffty-three republicans and thirty seven democrats. with loss of four ma jority to the republicans, compared with the present political division. If the pres ent republican legislature in Delaware should be called in extra session and should be able to get together and elect two republican senators before the next legislature convenes, the republicans strength in the senate would be increased two, giving the dominant party majori- ty of twenty or more, exactly what they have in the present senate.

 w doubtful congressional districts were slow in arriving. the indications at midnight were that the republicans would control the next house of represen- tatives by a narrow margin. In the pres ent house, with a membership of S57, the republicans have forty-one majority Un- der the new apportionment the Fifty eighth house will consist of 3S6 members, majority of which is 194. The thirteen southern states, not counting West Vir- ginia, but including Missouri, have l25 representatives.
 The democrats have carried 116 of these districts and the republicans probably five-two in Tennessee one in Kentucky and two in Missouri. with two in North Carolina and one in Virginia doubtful, according to the latest returns. To ob- tain a majority in the next house, it was necessary, therefore. for the democrats to secure seventy-eight votes in the north and west In this territory they have at present fifty-two representatives. The latest returns indicate that this strength has been held, wlsn the exception of one sea each from Idaho, Montana and Ne
