SENATORIAL ELECTION
BY DISTRICTS,

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Nov. 90
Below will be found the vot,
cast for state senators at the recen'
election, the figures showing tn,
vote by counties and districts. In
the 4th district, from which Lieut.
Gov. Mckinley resigned to take
the place he now holds, the re-
publican candidate had no opposi-
ton. This is the third time the
Democracy has abandoned that
district; that is to say, it has put
up no candidate in the field. In
the Sth district, so long represent
ed by Senator Morton of Ray
county, there were three candi-
dates, the prohibition nominee re-
ceiving a total of 63S votes. Sam
Major, elected fRom the 18th dis
trict, received the smallest ma
jority of any of the successful can
didates, though he has some
."beastly Democratic" counties in
the district, and Henry Eads,
elected from the Sth defeating
Senator Morton, comes next to
Mr.. Major in this respect. The
vote follows:
