Milwaukee, Nov. 5.-Gov. La Toilette
was reelected with a plurality OF up
wards of 10000, although Rose sue
ceeded in halving the landslide OF two
years ago. The city and county OF
each candidate seems to have gone
against him. Gov. La Toilette carried
Milwaukee and, with few precincts
yet to be heard from, it seems that
Dane county was carried by Rose.
Senator A. M. Long" Jones of Wauke-
sha was defeated.
Of the eleven congressman from this
state, 10 will be republican; all but
William H Froehlich, in the new
sixth district, made democratic by the
last appOrtionment, received safe plu-
ralities. In the second district H. c..
Adams of Madison was chosen by a
lead of some $500 over his democratic
opponent, J. J. Wood, Jr., Of Berlin.
Adams ran ahead of the state ticket
in Dane county by perhaps 1900 votes.
The legislature is heavily republican
and will return Spooner to the senate.
An Early Estimate.
Milwaukee, Nov. Sat 1890 last
night the returns indicated that Gov
ernOr La Toilette is reelected by at

publicans and one democrat. The leg
islature will probably be republican.
