Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Nov. 6.--Early indica-
| tions are that Porter has been elected
governor by small plurality. Two
hundred and eighty prec4 nets had been
heard from and the average gain for
ago was about 3S to the precinct It
would require a gain of only 36 to the
precinct to win. The net loss of Cum I
Minis in 290 precincts was 1901, or
about Al to the precinct Chairman
Woods has ben claiming all along
that Cummins will have a small plu-
rality and has >not conceded
| the election of Porter, the indica tons
being that the reports received were
the worst possible, and that later re-
turns would make some changes. The
democratic headquarters with much
less information is jubilant and the
democrats believe that Porter will have
10000 majority. Indications are that
| democrats are elected IN the First,
Sixth and Second districts. The repub-
licans on the state ticket will all be
elected as they have received larger
| vote than Cummins. Present prospect
is that with the great slump in the
ticket the democrats rnay gain The
lower branch of the legislature.
In Des Moines the vote was one OF
the heaviest ever cast and the count
was slow In coming in. Governor
Ceummins' home precinct compliment
ed him by an increase of his majority
by 80. The heaviest loss reported was
in Adel, where the loss reported was
2sO ON small vote Chairman Wood
at 9:3o estimated Cum1nins' majority
at 10000.
Des Moines, Nov. 6.-l2eports at re-
publican headquarters from 200 pre-
cincts in Iowa show net loss for Cum
Minis of 1885 or thirty-six to precincts
which would indicate stsundon between
Cummins and Porter.
Des Moines, Nov. 6.-:Reports to re-
publican headquarters from $50 pre-
cincts show a net loss Tor Cumn,ins
of 6,907.
Des Moines, Nov 6.--One hundred
precincts In Iowa show net loss for
Cunamins of 4,15O Chairman Woods
estimates about $4,000 majority. Later
reports show no such great losses, and
some later reports are correcting EARL
ier reports.
Waterloo Went Bad.

precincts in Black Hawk county give

sail. congressman from The Third dis
.trict. has been elected by the usual

II,
Indications are that the Iowa delega-
ton in congress will remain intact In
the Seventh district ]. A. T. Hull IS re-
elected: in the Fourth, Z. M. Hauge'l,
republican, Is reelected; In the elgnth.
w. p. Hepburn, republican, Is re-elees-
al and in the Fifth district, Robert G.
Coz sins, is reelected.
Chairman Woods has gone home 10
vote. and Chairman Miller indicated
that he would cast his vote for him
self in Bremen county.
There has not been much betting
here. Only one bet of consequence was
reported. A thousand dollars was put
up by sporting man that says cum
minis will get at least 80 counties OF the
state. 1t was regarded as gooo Det
for both sides. Some betting has been
done on 25,O00 majority for Cummlns'
but there is no money for betting.
One Of the peculiarities OF the cam
paign here in the capital city or the
state Is that not a conspicuous Tepup-
lican in Des Moines is out in the open
boiling the ticket. There Is a sood
deal of boasting on the part of the
democrats that they will get good
many republican boilers for the head OF
their tickt, but if the toaster Is ask
ed to make a list of the boilers he -
unable to name single one. 1t was
planned by the democrats and their al
lies early in the campaign that a large
number Of prominent republicans here
and in the state should come out for
Porter and thus lead bolt. But not
one has been induced 10 do so here.
