Louisville, November 8 — The election
for Congressman came off here yesterday,
and you would not have known, to stand ,
and look at the every-day appearance of our
town, that any such thing was going on.
Occasionally a group of gentlemen would
walk up to the Court House, deposit their
and return to their business, and no
lone would have thought they were going
■here to vote; and you might say to a man,
■‘Are you not going to vote for Congress-
Lien ?” and the reply invariably came,
■•Why, of course, but I had forgotten it en
tirely.'’ No negroes voted, for the reason
n.at no effort was made to bring them out.
■he election passed off, as a matter of
Bourse, quietly; because there was no op
■osition ticket. The vote was very small,
Because people felt that it was no use to
Buit their business to vote, unless there was
Borne danger in not voting, and Hon. Sea-
Born Reese’s election was assured anvwav.

Little Rocs, November 8. —Brecken

is elected by a large majority. Dunn in
the First and Peel in the Fourth District,
both Democrat?, were practically unop

majorities.
CALIFORNIA.
San Francisco, November 8. —The count
in this city up to midnight, being partial
returns from all points, indicates a majority
for Stoneman of about ten thousand on a
a total vote, and for Blake, Republican, for

thousand. The Democratic city ticket, ex
cept the Mayor, is elected by varying ma

gressmen.
San Fbanchco, November 8. — A dispatch
from Seattle, Washington Territory, claims
the election of Brents, Republican, for
delegate to Congreei by three thousand ma
jority. Advices from Arizona stats that the
vote was large throughout all the territory.
The election of Terry, Democrat, for Con
gress is certain. The Legislature is prob
ably Democratic.
San Francisco, November 8. - A collection
of the returns show that the Democrats have
carried the State ticket by a handsome ma
jority, probably 5,000. They have elected
all their Congressmen, except in the Second
District, where Page is probably successful,
although the contest is close, and they have
made a clean sweep of San Francisco’s
municipal ticket, with a possible exception
of the Mayor. The figures vary on the
mayoralty, and it is not certain at present
who is ahead. The Legislative returns are
very meagre, but it is probable that the
Democrats will have a working majority in
both Houses. The Prohibit!’., n ticket cut no
figure in the election.
San Fbancisco, November B.—Farther
returns indicate that Stoneman’s majority
in the State will reach thirteen thousand.
Tbe Democrats make a clean sweep of the
State and Congressional tickets. Page’s
defeat being assured by defections in Al
meda, Sacramento and San Joaquin coun
ties, aggregating about three thousand
votes. The Legislature is not yet figured
up, but the Democrats will have a majority
in both Houses. A Virginia, Nevada, dis
patch says Adams’ election is conceded by
almost one thousand majority. The vote
for Congressman is close, but Cassidy’s re
election is considered sure.

ILLINOIS.
Chicago, November 8, 3:45, a. m.—
Never have returns been so meagre and in
decisive from Illinois as in the present elec
tion. At this hour, intelligent judgment
of the situation is impossible. The Re
publican State iCommittee claim the entire
State by a majority in the neighborhood of
twenty thousand. It will probably be seme
hours before anything like an estimate of
the results can be made. 3:15, a. m.—
The Chicago Tribune (Republican) estimates
the Republican Cooke county ticket by five
thousand majority. The Republicans' elect
three out o? four Congressmen in Cooke
county, and a majority of their Legislative

Topeka, Ks., November B.—The vote is
close and the count is incomplete, but, so

ernor, is ahead. Both State committees are
equally confident.
Topeka, November B.—Three hundred
and three wards, townships and voting pre
cincts give Glick, Democrat, 8,500 majority
over St. John, Republican, with perhaps
less than ten thousand votes in the State

hope for St. John, with this exception the
Republican State, county and Congressional
tickets are elected by the usual majorities.

Philadelphia, November B.—The follow

Philadelphia, November B.—The official
and estimated returns from every county in
the State, except Elk and Forest, give
Pattison, Democrat, for Governor 32,122
plurality.
Philadelphia, November B.—General
Simon Cameron, who came to this city to
day to attend the Historical Society dinner,
had a conversation with ex-State Secretary
Quay and Chairman Cooper regarding the
Republican defeat in the State. General
Cameron did not think it was such a defeat
for his son as some people imagined. All
of his friends running for the State Legisla
ture were, so far as he knew, elected, and
he believed that if Donald desired it he
could succeed himself in the United States
Senate. The defeat of the Republican
party in the State would have a bad effect,
because it would keep both factions apart.
They could never, in his opinion, unite,
and would defeat each other when occasion
rendered it necessary by voting with the
Democrats.
Philadelphia, November B.—The Times
estimates that the next State Senate will
have a Republican majority of 10—Repub
lican loss of 4, and House of Representa
tives Democratic majority of at least 30—
Democratic gain of 37.
MISSOURI.
St. Louis, November B.—The city returns
indicate the election of the Democratic
ticket, with the probible exception of sher
iff. Estimates of districts, by the Secretary
of the Democratic State Committee and
others, well posted as to the situation, are
as follows : First, Hatch, Democrat, about
three thousand majority; 2d, Alexander,
Democrat, three thousand majority; 3d,
Dockery, Democrat, two thousand five
hundred majority; 4th, Burns, Democrat,
two thousand majority; 6th, Cosgrove,
Democrat, about four thousand majority;
7th, Buckner, Democrat, had practically no
opposition, and ba?, probably five thousand
majority; lltb, Bland, Democrat, one thou
sand five hundred majority; 12th, Morgan,
Democrat, three thousand majority. The
13th District is doubtful, but the Demo
crats claim it, notwithstanding that it is a
Republican district. There is a Greenback,
as well as Republican and Democratic con
didates in the field, who will draw more
from the Republican than Democratic vote,
and therefore the Democrats have great
hope of carrying the district. The 14th
District gives Davis, Democrat, four thous
and majority. The Democratic majority on
the State ticket is estimated at sixty thou
sand.
St. Louis, November B.—John J. O'Neil
(Democrat) is elected to Congress from the
Bth District of this city by a plurality of
about 1,600. The 9th District is still’ un
decided as to the long term. Tbe Republi
cans claim the election of Dr. J. H. Mc-
Lean for both terms. Successful candi
dates on the Democratic city ticket have
pluralities ranging from about one hundred
to eight thousai d, and tbe Republicans
elected have pluralities of 680 and 1»692
respectively.
Kansas City, Mo., November B.—Advices
from Kansas indicate the defeat of St. John
(Republican) for Governor and the election
of the remainder of the Republican State
ticket. In the 2d District the result for
Congress is doubtful. Other Districts and
Congressman-at-Large will be Republican.
St. Louis, November B.—Revised tables
of returns from the 9th District gives Broad
head, Democrat, 779 majority for the long
term and McLane, Republican, 537 ma
jority for the shoit te.m. These figures
may' be changed by the official vote and
give McLane the long as well as short term.
There is nothing new from the 13th Dis
trict, which is the only other one in the
State about which there is any doubt. The
Democrats claim the election of Judge Fyan
over Col. Cloud, Republican, and Hazel
tone, Greenbacker.
KENTUCKY.
Louisville, Ky., November B.—The Re
publicans claim four Congressmen. The
Democrats concede Culbertson, but not the
others.
Louisville, November B.—The Republi
cans have all day claimed four Congressmen
but the returns, so far, indicate the election
of but one—Culbertson, in the Ninth Dis
trict, with a majority of 1,500 over Hurt,
Democrat. Halsell, Democrat, has 200 ma
jority over Hunter, Republican, in the third.
Wolford, Democrat certainly defeated Carr,
(Republican) in the Eleventh, and Thomp
son (Democrat) has nearly 1,000 majority
over Ewell (Republican) in the Eighth Dis
trict. These districts comprise the four
claimed by the Republicans. Beturns from
the mountains of the Tenth District, where
Matt Adams (Democrat) and John D. White
(Republican) had a hard struggle, have not
been received. It is impossible to tell the
result from the First District. Advices
point to the election of Osaur Turner (Dem
ocrat).
MARYLAND.
Baltimore, November B.—The average
majority for the Independent Judicial ticket
for Judges of the Supreme Bench-of Balti
more city, except Mr. Fisher, is over 11,-
000. Mr. Fisher, who ran on both tickets,
received 52,591 votes within a thousand of
the entire vote cast in the city. The ma
jority for Covington. (Democrat), in tbe
First Congressional District will be about
one thousand two hundred. In the Second
Congressional District the majority for Tal
bot, (Democrat) over 1,100. In the Third
District the majority for Hobletzel, (Demo
crat), is 3,603. In the Fourth District the
majority for Finlay, (Democrat), is 1,663.
In the Fifth District the majority for Hal
ton, (Republican),is over one thousand five
hundred. In tbe Sixth District the majority
for McComas, (Republican), will exceed one
thousand five hundred votes.
Baltimore, November 8, noon. The
Democrats elect Covington in the First Con
gressional District; Talbott in the Second;
Hoblitzel in the Third, and Findlay in the
Fourth. The Republicans undoubtedly
elect McComas over Montgomery Blair in
the Sixth District. A large majority for
Hatton (Republican), in Anne Arundel
county, in the Fifth District, renders his
election certain. This will be a gain of
one Republican member of Congress in
this State.
FLORIDA.
Pensacola. Fla., November B.—The Re
publican majority in this city yesterday was
478, which is believed to insure the loss of
the whole county by the Democrats. Several
hundred white Democratic voters are said
to have neglected to vote from- indifference
and many others are absent oil account of
the epidemic.

and 4 or 5 Democratic Congressmen, a
Democratic gain of 2 Ten Republican and
seven Democratic State Senators were
elected-a Democratic gain of four. The
next State Senate will stand, Republicans,
20; Democrats, 13. Returns from Assem

death to give it.
TEXAS.
Galveston. November B.—Returns from
the Tenth ■ District indicate the election of
John Hancock, Democrat, by three to four
thousand majority. Ochiltree, Republican,
is probably elected in the Seventh District
by one thousand majoritv. The-Texas dele
gation will stand ten Democrats and one
Republican.
YEW HAMPSHIRE.
Concord, November B.—Two hundred
and eight towns give Hale 36,599; Edgerly,
34,694; scattering, 794. Thirty-three
towns to bear from gave a majority against
Bell in 1880 of 450, which, if returned in
the same ratio, will give Hale 601 majority.
The Senate will stand 17 Republicans to
7 Democrats. There will be more than 60
Republican majority in the House of Rep
resentatives. The Council will stand 4 Re
publicans and 1 Democrat. Both Republi
can candidates for Congress have been
chosen by very large majorities.
Boston, November B.—A special from
Concord, N. H., says additional returns re
ceived upto noon at Republican headquar
ters indicate the election of Hale by the
people by two hundred majority. Demo
crats claim that there is no choice, and say
that if complete returns should prove an
election itwill be Edgerly. They say that
if Edgerly is not elected this time, he will
be their standard bearer in 1884.
NORTH CAROLINA.
Raleigh, November B.—Meager returns
indicate the election of Bennett (Democrat),
for Congressman-at-Large, by fifty thousand
majority, and that the Democrats have
elected every Congressman except in the
Second District, where O’Hara (Republican),
had no opposition. The Legislature is
Democratic, although the Republicans make
gains.
INDIANA.
Indianapolis, November 8,3, p. m.—
From most reliable information at this hour
the Congressional delegation will stand as
follows: First District, Kleiner, Democrat;
Second District, Cobb, Democrat; Third,
District, Stockslayer, Democrat ; Fourth
District, Holmam, Democrat; Fifth District,
Matson, Democrat; Sixth. District, Browne,

publican; Eighth District, doubtful; Ninth
District, doubtful; Tenth District, DeMotte
Republican; Eleventh District, Steele, Re
publican; Twelfth District, Downey, Demo
crat; Thirteenth District, Calkins, Republi
can. A Democratic gain of one Congress
man is certain, and the gain of three is prob
able. The returns show a decrease in
the vote of 8 per cent, and a probable
Democratic majority on the State ticket of
1,500. Very few reliable returns have been
received from the larger cities.
Indianapolis, November B.—Returns from
four hundred towns on the State ticket,
giving over 25 per cent, of the State vote,
shows a Democratic gain of 3,941, indicat
ing a majority for the Democrats on the
State ticket of six thousand. This rate of
increase will be augmented when full re
turns are received from larger cities.
Indianapolis, November B.—Ex-Senator
McDonald, Chairman of the Democratic
Central Committee, claims ten thousand
majority in the State. Orth, Republican, in
the 9th'Congressional District, is certainly
defeated. Pierce and Demotte, Republi
cans, in the Bth and 10th Districts, are also
defeated. This gives the Democrats nine
and the Republicans four Congressmen, a
gain of four for the former. The Democrats
also claim the election of English in the
i 7th (Indianapolis) District, but the Repub-
lican Committee claims the election of his
opponent (Peeble) by over 300 majority.
The Democrats will have a majority in the
House of Representatives and probably in
the Senate.
Indianapolis, November B.—Five hun
dred and forty voting places in the State
-how a Republican loss on the State ticket
of 8,690, and a Democratic loss of 2,241,
being a net Democratic gain of 6,449, which
would indicate a Democratic majority in the
State of ten thousand. The above returns
cover 36 per cent, of the vote cast at the
election for Governor two years ago. If the
rest of the State continues the same, relative
decrease, as compared with 1880 it will give
a decrease in the Republican vote of 20,800
and a Democratic vote of 5,200, or an ag
gregate of 26,000 less than the vote of
1880. From the best figures obtainable at
this time the Legislature will stand : Sena
tors holding over, Democrats, 9; Republi
cans, 14; elected, Democrats, 18; Repub
licans, 8; doubtful, 1. Lower House, Dem
ocrats, 65; Republicans, 35.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
New Yoke, November B.—A Chariestcn
(S. C.) special to the Post says the Demo
crats have carried the State by a large ma
jority and elect their whole Congressional
ticket. E. B. C. Cash, Independent candi
date in the Fifth District, is conceded to be
defeated by Hemphill, Democrat. Several
bloody election affrays have occurred in
different sections of the State, lhe negroes
did not turn out very well, and in some sec
tions their vote was very light.
Columbia, S. 0 , November 8. - The Dem
ocrats elect Congressmen in six Districts,
and in the Seventh District Mackey, Repub
lican, is probably elected, though official
returns cannot be had before next Tuesday.
The constitutional amendment giving the
Legislature power to change tbe time.of hold
ing the general election and disfranchising
for various crimes, has probably received a
majority. The amendment reducing the area
necessary to create new counties is probably
defeated.
IOWA.
DesMoines,lowa,November B.—Midnight
—from returns received up to this hour the
State regis’er put the Republican majority
in the State over the Democrats at 4,000
and 20,000 over all, with 9 Republican
Congressmen certain. Farwell, (Republi
can), is defeated in the Second Distric, and
the Sixth District is close between Cults
(Republican), and Weaver (Greenback),
with the chances in favor of Cutts. In this
District Nasson has a majority over all of
and a pleurality of over all of 4,000.
Map.=halltown, lowa, November B.—The
election of Frederick (Democrat), for Con
gress in the Fifth District is conceded.
NEW YORK.
New York, November B.—The Times
gives Cleveland’s majority at 171,000. The
Assembly will stand 80 Democrats and 48
Republicans. A Democratic gain of 13.
The Congressional delegation will stand 19
Democrats and 15 Republicans. A Demo
cratic gain of 6. The Democrats have un
doubtedly secured a considerable majority
in Congrass. Our returns gave them 174
members against 150 Republicans.
New York, November B.—Among mem
bers of the present Congress re-elected from
this State, are Hewitt, Cox, Hutchins and
Belmeut. Belmont’s majority is put at
10,000. His majority in his own county
Suffolk, exceeds that in his entire District
last time.
New York, November B.—Brooklyn city
and Kings county vote stands: Cleveland,
65,718; Folger, 25,924. The State ticket
carried with it the entire city ticket except

Democratic—Wm. E. Robinson, Darwin R.
James and Felix Campbell.
ARKANSAS.
Little Rock, November 9. —All the Demo
cratic candidates for Congress are elected.
IOWA.
Dubuque, November 9.—The Democrats
elect three Congressmen and the Green
bac ;ers one
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Charleston, November 9 Mackey, white
Republican, beats Lse, colored Republican,
in the 7th District by 8,000 majority.
Democrats are certainly elected in the other
six Districts. No disturbance or trouble
occurred in any part of the State.
MISSISSIPPI.
Memphis, Tenn, November 9.—General
Chalmers is in this city. In an interview
he asserts that bulldozing was practiced in
Tallahatchie county where an election was
prevented from being held under the pre
tence of fear of small pox, which deprived
him of 500 votes. At one place in DeSoto
county, where the judges refused to hold an
election, there was caused a loss to him of
200 votes. Notwithstanding this he claims
his election on the returns that have been
made by 1,070 majority.
Jackson, Miss., November 9.-Unofficial
returns and reports from reliable sources
leave no doubt of the election of Chalmers
over Manning, and the election of Van
Eaton, Democrat, over Lynch, both by small
majorities.
CALIFORNIA.
• San Francisco, November 9.—Twenty
six thousand votes, counted this morning,
confirm last night’s report of the probable
lesult. There has been a clean Democratic
sweep. Stoneman’s majority increases as
the returns come in. The Senate will pro
bably stand 28 Democrats and 12 Republi
cans, the Assembly 57 Democrats and 23
Republicans. The defeat of Page, Repub
lican, for Congress is confirmed by further
advices.
ARIZONA.
Tucson, A. T., November 9. —G. [H.
Oury, Democratic Delegate, and W. B.
Horton, Superintendent Public Instruc
tion (Democrat) are elected by about 750
majority. Both branches of the Legisla
ture are Democratic by a large majority.
COLORADO.
Denver, November 9.—Arapahoe county,
including Denver, gives Grant, Democratic
candidate for Governor, 2,500 majority,
and Wallace, Democratic candidate for Con
gress, 510 majority. The indications are
that Grant’s majority in the State will be
2,500 and that Belford, Republican, will be
elected to Congress by a majority of 200 or
300. The rest of the State ticket, including
the Lieutenant-Governor, is undoubtedly
Republican. The majority in the Legisla
ture is also Republican.
ILLINOIS.
Chicago, November 9.—Cook county is
very evenly divided between the Republi
cans and Democrats. Party lines are almost
wholly ignored outside of the active poli
ticians and the candidates were chosen en
tirely on their personal popularity. The
highest Democratic plurality is 2,852 and
the highest Republican plurality is 4,163,
indicating an independent vote of over
7,000. The lait returns on Congressmen
indicate the election of Cullen and Thomas,
Republicans in the Bth and 20th Districts
and Worthington, Democrat in the 10th.
The delegation would then stand 11 Re
publicans and 9 Democrats. The State
Legislature is very close on joint ballot and
it is impossible to say which party will have
a majority when the returns are all in.
Chicago.—The returns up to 10 o’clock
a. m. indicate that the Congressional dele
gation will be evenly divided, as follows :
Democrats.— Second District, Fenerty;
Eighth, Haley ; Eleventh, Neece ; Twelvth,
Riggs; Thirteenth, Springer; Sixteenth,
Shaw ; Seventeenth, Moulton ; Eighteenth,
Morrison ; Nineteenth, Townshend ;
Twentieth, Murphy.
Republicans.— First, Dunham ; Third,
Davis ; Fourth, Adams ; Fifth, Ellwood ;
Sixth, Hitt; Seventh, Henderson ; Ninth,
Payson ; Tenth, Lewis; Fifteenth, Can
non ; Fourteenth, Rowell.
VOLUME XCV
This shows a Republican loss of three
and a Democratic gain of four, owing to
the accession of a new district. The Demo
crats admit a doubt about Haley’s election
in the Eighth, and the Republicans do not
concede Murphy’s election in the Twentieth
District.
The control of the State Legislature On
joint ballet is now in doubt, with the
chances in favor of the Democrats. The
latest returns from the State indicate the
election of the Republican State ticket by
from 10,000 to 12,000 majority.
Chicago, November 9.—A dispatch from
Des Moines, lowa, says the latest returns
indicate that the Republicans have lost tbe
following Congressmen: Farwell, in the
Second District; Updegraff, in the Fourth;
Wilson, in the Fifth, and Anderson, in the
Ninth. The successful Democrats are Mur
phy, Weller, Frederick and Fusey. The
Congressional delegation will stand: Re
publicans, 7; Democrats, 4. In the last
House the full delegation of nine were Re
publicans.
Chicago, November 9. —Returns on the
State Legislature show that the Senate will
be composed of 31 Republicans and 20
Democrats. The House will have 77 Re
publicans certain, with a possibility of 79,
and 74 Democrats, with a possibility of
76, giving the Republicans a majority of
12 to 16 on joint ballot, which means ihe
election of a Republican United States
Senator. The result in the Twentieth
Congressional District is still in doubt,
with the probability in favor of Thcmas
(Republican), which would make the Con
gressional delegation stand Republicans,
11; Democrats, 9.
TENNESSEE.
Nashville, November 9.—From complete
returns of twenty-five counties of the State
and partial returns from others, the Demo
cratic Central Committee estimates Bate’s
majority over Hawkins, Republican, for
Governor, at thirty thousand, and the ma
jority over Hawkins, Fussell and Beasly at
twenty thousand. The Bate Legislative
ticket will have a majority in both houses.
LOUISIANA.
New Orleans, November 9.—There are
several contested polls ia the Third District,
but Kellogg is elected by a handsome ma
jority without them. The ballots of one
precinct in the Fifth District were thrown
out by the commissioners, but Kellogg’s
majority will probably be ten thousand,
consequently the action of the Commission
ers affects nothing as to the result. It is
now stated that the Independente will con
test the city election, not with the hope of
getting offices, but for the purpose of ex
posing fraud.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Philadelphia, November 9.—The com
plete returns show that the next State Sen
ate will consist of 29 Republicans and 21
Democrats. The returns from nearly all
the Assembly Districts, and careful esti
mates of those not heard from, give the
Democrats 110 members and the Republi
cans 91. These figures will not be materi
ally changed. The Democrats will thus
have a majority of on joint ballot.
The present Senate stands 32 Republicans
and 18 Democrats, and the House 122 Re
publicans and 79 Democrats.
TEXAS.
Galveston, November 9.—lt is conceded
that Ochiltree, Independent, has carried
this (Seventh) District by almost 500 ma
jority.
NORTH CAROLINA.
Raleigh, November 9.—Returns from the
First District indicate the election of W. F.
Pool, Republican, to Congress instead of
Latham. Doubts are entertained as to
whether Bennett, Democrat, for Congress
man-at-Large and Robbins, Democrat, in
the 7th District, are elected.
VIRGINIA.
Richmond, November 9.—Nothing more
definite has been received as to the election
in Virginia than was embodied in yester
day’s dispatches from here. It is impossi
ble to hear from remote counties in the
First and Ninth Districts. Large Demo
cratic gains are reported in the latter, but
enough to elect Fulkerson over Bowen (Co
alitionist). The First District is very close,
and full returns will have to be received be
fore the election is decided between Garri
son (Democrat) and Mayo (Coalitionist).
In the Seventh District the official figures
will be required to decide between O’Fer
rall (Democrat) and Paul (Coalitionist)
If Paul is returned O’Ferrall will
contest his election on the ground of
fraud, of which he claims to have ample
evidence. Libby (Coalitionist), in the Sec
ond District, is elected by nearly 3,000 mr
jority. George D. Wise’s majority in the
Third District is 2,800. Hooper (Coali
tionist), in the Fourth District, is elected
by about 9,000. Cabell (Democrat), in
the Fifth District, has an estimated majority
of 1,500. Tucker (Democrat), in the Sixth
District, has an estimated majority of 2,-
000. Barbour (Democrat), in the Eighth
District, has over 5,000 majority. The
Democrats are still hopeful of the election
'of Massey as Congressman-at-Large, and are
sanguine of having six other Congressmen,
while the Coalitionists claim that John S.
Wise is elected by from five to ten thou
sand majority, and that they have secured
four District Congressmen.
Petersburg, November 9.—The returns
coming in greatly reduce the majority for
John S. Wise, the Readjuster candidate for
Congressman at-Large. So sanguine are
the Democrats that bets are being made on
Massey, Democrat, for Congressman-at-
Darge. The Readjusters who. yesterday
and the day before, estimated Wise’s major
ity at between fifteen thousand and twenty
thousand, think now it will be much less,
probably five thousand. The Democrats
are highly elated over the encouraging re
ports coming in. In some of the adjoining
counties a very light vote was polled. It is
stated that in Tazewell county, in this State,
not more than half the vote was cast.
Lynchburg, November 9. —Full returns
from all the counties in the Sixth District,
except Buckingham, give Tucker (Dem.)
2,990 majority.. Buckingham will reduce
these figures about 600 at the outside, leav
ing a cleai Democratic majority of 2,390.
Massey, (Dem.) for Congressman-at-Large,
runs slightly behind Tucker.
Fredericksburg, November 9.—Reports
from eight counties of the First Virginia
District give Garrison (Dem.) 1,071 major
ity with two Democratic counties to hear
from. The six counties not heard from
gave last year 980 Readjuster majority.
Staunipn, November 9. In this, the
Seventh District, the Democrats concede
Paul’s election by 198 majority. The
Coalitionists claim over 3,000. Paul’s actual
majority so far as heard from is 148. The
counties unreported gave him 353 at the
last election.
WISCONSIN.
Milwaukee, November 9. —The following
Congressmen are elected: First District,
John Winans, Democrat; Second District,
D. H. Sumner, Democrat; Third District,
Burr W. Jones, Democrat; Fourth District,
P. V. Deuster, Democrat; Sixth District, R.
Guenther, Republican; Seventh District, G.
M. Woodward, Democrat; Eighth District,
Wm. T. Price, Republican; Ninth District,
Isaac Stephenson, Republican. This is a
Democratic gain of four members. The
election of Winans is not conceded by all
the Republican managers, but private ad
vice?, received last night from reliable
sources, state the election of Winans in
positive terms.
Milwaukee, November B.—Complete re
turns from the State show the complexion of
the Legislature to be as follows: Senate,
19 Republicans and 14 Democrats—a Dem
ocratic gain of 4. Assembly, 52 Republi
cans, 45 Democrats, 2 Trades Assembly
candidates and 1 Independent—a Republi-

can loss of 12. The Republican majority on
joint ballot is 9. The First Congressional
District is still in doubt, and is positively '
claimed by both the Republicans and Dem
ocrats. The former figure out a majority of
eighty-nine for Williams, and the Demo
crats claim that Winans has one thousand
majority.
Racine, Wis. , November 9. —The returns
give. Winans, Democrat, 254 majority for
Congress in the First District over Wil
liams, Republican.
UTAH.
Salt Lake City, November 9.—Later re
turns indicate that about five thousand
Gentile and twenty thousand Mormon votes
were cast. Twenty-five per cent, of the
registered votes were not cast.
KENTUCKY.
Louisville, Ky., November 9.—Later re
turns have been received from eleven
counties in the Tenth District, which give
Mott Adams, Democrat, a majority of 140
over John D. White, Republican. Nine
mountain counties remain to be heard from*
in several of which there will be majorities
operating as a stand-off. Both parties claim
the District, but all estimates are mere
guesses, as no news can be had from the
distant mountain counties.
DELAWARE,
Wilmington, Del., November 9.—The
official vote of Delaware gives Stockley
(Democrat), for Governor, 1,938 majority,
and Lore (Democrat), for Congress, 1,923.
Martin (Republican) is elected Sheriff of
New Castle county by nine majority. With
this exception the entire Democratic ticket
is elected. Tha next Legislature will
stand: House solidly Democratic and the
Senate 8 Democrats to 1 Republican, who
holds over.
THE NEW HOUSE.
The present House of Representatives
consists of 293 members. Os these 153
are Republicans, 131 are Democrats and 9
are Greenbackers. The new House will
consist of 325 members. The following
table shows the probable composition:

riding in the procession, and died instantly..
European Views of tlie Election.
London. November 9.—The Daily News,
in an editorial this morning, says: “Presi
dent Arthur’s Administration will be seri
ously hampered by the Democratic success
es. It is more than probable that the wish
to thus tie his hands led many of his sup
porters in 1880 to oppose him now. The
rebuke thus given to the President and his
friends was thoroughly well deserved.”
A dispatch to the Morning Post, from Ber
lin, says: “The newspapers here, comment
ing on the Democratic victory in the United
States, express hopes of a return to free
trade and to a more honest railway policy.
