the legislature in Delaware, which Will
give them both senatorships from that
State, provided Governor Hum does not
summon an extra session of the present
legislature, as is said to be his intention
to do, with the understanding that the
Addicks and Dupont factions will get to-
getber somehow and elect two republic
can senators. If the republicans fail to
agree before the time for the meet
ing of the new legislature, X. X. Ken
ney and Willard Salisbury, democrats,
will be elected to fill the vacancies IN the
Senate caused by the quarrel between
the Addicks and the anti-AddIcks re-
publicans.
The republicans carried Iowa by about
65, 600 plurality, and although the demo-
Gratis made gains, solid republican Con-
gressional delegation will probably be
elected. Ex-Governor Boies was con-
testant for the seat in the House held at
present by Speaker Henderson. The re,
turns show his defeat, Judge Birdsaii
winning by small plurality.
In Missouri the democrats won, and
will choose United States Senator to
succeed Mr.. Vest. Ex-Governor Stone
will probably get the seat The demo-
Gratis also captured Nebraska, and the
indications arel that W. III. Thompson
was elected governor.
In Illinois the republicans carried the
State ticket through by about 40, 900 to
IS, 900. They control the State legis-
lature by safe majority, and this in
sures the election of Albert j. Hopkins
to succeed William E. Mason as United
States Senator.
In the Northwest there are no signs
of upheavals. Returns from Minnesota
and Wisconsin show republican success.
West Virginia elects all five republi-
can congressman.
In Maryland the democrats elect
Talbert in the second and Denny in the
fourth district. The other four are re-
publicans. 49,
In Texas the democratic plurality will
be at least 1901 900.
North Carolina gives democratic ma
lority indicated at 5000, with eight
Congressman, two districts being in
doubt.
New Jersey is still republican. Ofthe
ten Congressman whom the State viii
send to the new national House OF Rep
rcsentatives not less than seven will be
republicans and three democrats.
The following States elected republic
can governors and other State officers
yesterday: New York, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts,, Connecticut, Kansas,
Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North
Dakota, Rhode Island, New Hampshire
South Dakota, Wisconsin, Wyoming,
California and Colorado.
VIRGINIA.
The State of Virginia yesterday elected
ten representatives in Congress. From
the returns received and estimates as to
the counties not reporting, it is certain
that nine of the democratic nominees
have been elected by majorities ranging
from 5000 to 1000. One republican,
Colonel Campbell Slemp, in Ninth dis
trict, appears on the showing made by
the incomplete and estimated returns to
be elected over Hon. William +. Rhea,
democratic incumbent, but this is not
conceded yet by Mr.. Rhea, and may be
shown to be erroneous by fuller returns.
Slemp carries Pulaski by small margin
and has the lead of between 300 and 400
in Tazewell and a like lead in Lee
county, and about 500 in Wise county
Judge Rhea's majorities in the other
counties will hardy overcome these ma
jorities. Today's dipatches state that
S'emp is elected by 1000 majority.
The apathy of the voters was remarkable,
In some instances not over 80 per cent.
of them appeared at the polls. The
