check Of figures previously received
Unless the standing is upset by off,
cial count, the Republicans will
have 80 senators and the Democrats
is, while In the house the Republi-
cans will have 50 Representatives and
the Democrats As. An apparent tie
in the lower house was broken when
IL was discovered that the Republi-
cans had elected two Of the three
Representatives from St. Joseph
county instead OF the Democrats
electing all three, as had been re-
ported.
At the Democratic state commit
tee, the Joint representative from
Fayette and Franklin was claimed,
but unofficial figures from the two
counties gave William r. Phillips
Republican, a lead of IT'S over VIII
liam r. Flock, Democrat. In Jay
county there was a close race for
representative, but the unofficial tab
ulation showed John G. Hammitt.
Republican. elected by 81 votes over
William I. Journay, Democrat.

day and tabulated officially. The

ity OF 1882 over Albert J. Bev-
eridge. Republican candidate.

captured FIVE congressional seats and
the state offices of auditor and SUI
elected eight incumbent congress
men, secretary Of state. treasurer of
state. superintendent OF public in

lican nominee for clerk OF the SUI
