TENNESSEE.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov Sowing to
the length of the ballot the returns
are slow in coming in, but the state
is conceded to Parker by the Repub
leans, although they claim the election
of their candidate for Governor, Jesse
M. Littleton. The Democratic chair
man claims the election of James B.
Frazier for Governor by $4,000.
1t is practically certain that the
state will give Parker a majority of
25,00O while Frazier is reelected Gov
ernor by from II, 900 to 10000.
Eight Democrats have been elected to
Congress, making the delegation stand
just as it did in the last Congress.
The Democrats have elected at least
100 out of the 1872 members of the
General Assembly, insuring the re-
election of William B. Bate to the
United States Senate.
The seven proposed amendments to
the state constitution, extending the
terms of the governor, treasurer and
controller, and providing for the cleo
ton of the secretary of state, treas
urer and state controller by the peo-
pie, instead of by the Legislature, are
defeated by large majority.

ARKANSAS.

Little Rock. Ark. Nov. S.-The Ga
zettes advices from all parts of the
state bear out previous estimates of a
plurality Of 10000 for the Parker and
Davis electors
Each of the seven congressional dis
tricts is Democratic by majorities
ranging from 1900 to 5000. The total
vote Will fall short of that cast at the
state election in September, on account
or apathy in some of the counties.
Little Rock, Ark, Nov. s.-Enough
returns have been received to show
that the Democratic plurality in Ar
kansas is not less than 10000, and in
oicating slight gain over the vote
received by the Democratic nominee
for Governor at the election In Sep
TENDER.
The First and Seventh congression-
al districts. where the Democratic
nominee had no opposition, report a
much larger vote than was expected.
In the five congressional districts,
where there were Republicans, the ma
jorities of the Democratic nominees
will range from 1900 to 5000.

Columbia, S. c., Nov. s.-The state.
as usual, went Overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic, but a small vote as compared
with the Democratic primaries was
cast The Socialist candidate has re-
ceived several hundred votes.
Very few negroes offered to vote, and
many more white people We're denied
the right to vote because of lack of
registration certificates. The consti-
tutional amendments we're not under
stood by many. and fewer votes were
cast for or against them than for the
candidates. 1t seems likely that the
amendment favorable to biennial ses-
siOns has been carried.
In each of the districts in which
there was a Republican candidate for
Congress a few votes were cast for
him, but ten times as many were cast
for the Democratic nominee.
The election was very quiet through
out the state. At one country precinct
a man was killed, but this was due to
previous bad blood.

cratic congressman had been elected,
and the Legislature will be Democratic
by a majority of forty, assuring the
reelection of United States Senator

The fight for the governorship was
the feature of the election and the re-

crats-Sustained Losses Where
They Had Expected Gains.
Washington. Nov. S.-President
Roosevelt is assured of the co-opera-
ton of Republican Congress. The
present Republican majority in that
body is thirty-four, and there need be
no surprise if this figure is almost
doubled. and it is reasonably certain
to reach a majority of at least fifty.
In practically all districts the Repub-
licans have held their own, while in
some significant instances the Demo-
Gratis have lost. Probably the most
marked of these cases are the Fourth
and Fifth districts of California (San
Francisco. now represented by Rep
resentatives Livernash and Wynn,
Democrats, which reports indicate
have been gained by the Republicans.
In the Twelfth Ohio district Taylor.
Republican, is reported to have defeat
ed Badger, the sitting Democratic
member, who was a candidate for re-
election. The most surprising of all
the reports. however, come from the
Fifth and Fifteenth Missouri districts,
both strongly Democratic, and the
former represented by Mr.. Cowherd,
chairman of the Democratic Congress
sional Campaign Committee The Re-
publicans claims to have carried both
districts. IA the light of these re-
ports Republicans majority of fifty
in the House is considered conserva-
tive estimate.
Returns from the Southern states
show that they have returned the
usual Democratic majorities on con-
gressmen as on other candidates. The
states Of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Mississippi. North and South
Carolina and Texas will send
solid Democratic delegations. while
those from Kentucky and Vir-
ginia probably each will send
only one Republican representative,
making no change from the present
complexion. Tennessee will continue TO
send two Republican congressman.
There are several solid Republican
delegations already reported from
Northern states. including Iowa with
one possible exception. Kansas, Min

tonight indicate the Republicans have
broken all their records in Ohio. Their
highest plurality was $4,000 in 1894
on a small vote, while that of TODAY
was on a large vote greatly exceeding
100000.
The Republican Committee estimate
that the plurality for Roosevelt and

plurality ever given Mckinley either

the returns from the Eighth North
Carolina district indicates a narrow
ma jorlty either way. and it is extreme
ly doubtful. The Tenth district still
seems Democratic. but both districts
are in the mountains of the extreme
west and returns are slow. Eight
districts are conceded as Democratic,
but no figures can be given now.
No showing worth mentioning has
been made by Populist, Socialists or
Prohibition tickets. Latest returns in
dictate Democratic majorities, state and
national, as about 10000.

MARYLAND.

Baltimore, Nov. S.-Though the re-
turns from the counties of Maryland
are not complete and those from four
precincts in Baltimore are missing, the
returns that have been received indi-
cate that Maryland has gone for
Roosevelt by a small majority, prob
ably few hundred votes, this esti-
mate being based upon the returns re-
celved and the voting records in those
districts not heard from. 1t will be
at an early hour tomorrow morning
before the result is exactly known.
In the six congressional districts of
the state, three Republicans and two
Democrats have been elected, with re-
naming district in doubt. This dis
trict is now represented by w. H
jackson, a Republican, and the prob
abilities point to his reelection. Leay-
ing out the four missing precincts.
Parker's majority in Baltimore is 453.
The chairman of the Republican
State Committee claims that the final
returns will show a Republican major
ity of over 1000 in the state.
Baltimore, Nd. Nov. 8.-Returns
from the city and state are not COM
plete, but it is apparent from the off,
cial reports so far received, that the
vote in Maryland is very close. and
that the actual result may not be def
nitely known tonight, owing to the
slowness of returns from remote dis
tricts in Eastern Shore and southern
counties.
In Baltimore the indications are that
there NAV not be a difference of one
hundred votes.
incomplete returns from the Counties
show unexpected Republican gains,
particularly in the western counties.
Baltimore, Nov 9.-The Sun. which
supported the Democratic presidential
nominee, comedies at 2:30 a. m. that
Roosevelt carried the state by about
1000. In Baltimore city, with one pre-
cinct missing, Parker has 474 plurality
