secretary OF the commonwealth, nomius'
ted to succeed D. Q EgglestoD, who

The entire house Of delegates was
elected yesterday. Eighty-one Of The
100 districts have reported. OF these

add eight republicans. At least four
of the remaining nineteen districts will

that the republican strength 10 the Dext

which Is fourteen. AS matter OF fact,
should the district composed Of the city
of Bristol and the county Of Washington
elect democrats, the republican strength
may be reduced. The liquor issue did not
