Two Over All.

With official returns from 154 of the
165 legislative districts of the state,

City, is today known to have received
the Democratic nomination for United
States senator. On returns compiled,
Thompson has a majority of two dis
tlicts in excess of a bare majority,
while returns are lacking from IL legis-
lative districts. The vote on the dis
tricts compiled is: Thompson, rs; Far
relley, SO; Allen, 9; Bond, Z; with a tie
vote in the Sumner county senatorial
district.
The II districts landed by Bond ana
Allen, reduced the number of districts
necessary to nominate to "A. Official re-
turns compiled in the office of Charles
Sessions, secretary of state, today in
Sured Thompson's nomination. In the
Sumner county senatorial district, the
Thompson-Fa Farrelley vote is a tie, each
candidate carrying one of the two rep
resentative districts. The winner in
three senatorial districts is yet unde-
