Baltimore, November 4.—A dispatch
to the. Sun says that McKaig (Democrat) is
probable elected in the Sixth Congressional
district. He leads McComas in his own
(MeComas") county by 100 majority. The
returns so far from the Fifth district show
large gains for Barnes Compton over
iludd (Republican and the sitting mem
ber). A solid Democratic Congressional
delegation is claimed.
Baltimore, November 4.—Returns
from the Fourth Congressional district
„,ves Rainer (Democrat) a majority of
#630 over Goldsborough (Republican),
•pjje Third Congressional district gives
Rusk (Democrat) a majority of 5,512 over
Pullman (Republican).
Cumberland, November 4,—All the
districts in this county have been heard
from excepting Orleans; this will give a
Democratic majority for McKaig. This
leaves McComas, in Allegheny county,
with 275 majority against 1,500 the last
election. McKaig is elected beyond
doubt: therefore, a solid Democratic del
egation.
Baltimore, November 4.—The Demo
crats in this city elect 20 Councilmeu and
the Republicans 2.
Baltimore, November 4.—In the
eleventh ward, H. S. Cummings, lawyer
(Republican), and colored man, was
elected Councilman by a vote of 1,585
against 1,480 for Gillis (Democrat).
MASSACHUSETTS.
Boston, November 4. — Twenty-five
towns in Massachusetts give Blackmer
(Prohibitionist) 348, Brackett (Republican)
3,480, Russell (Democrat) 2,427. The same
towns the last time gave Blackmer 452,
Brackett 3,143, Russell 2,143. Brackett’s
net gain is 53.
Boston, November 4.—One hundred
and eighty-nine of the 205 pr> ciucts in this
city give Russel 30,100, Broekett 18,330,
Blackmer 1,345. Russell’s plurality is 11,-
830.
Boston, November 4.—Seveuty-five
towns of Massachusetts and 200 oat of 205
precincts of Boston give for Governor:
Blackmer, Prohibitionist, 3,058; Brackett,
Republican, 33,802; Russell, Democrat,
44,250. Russell’s plurality is 7,330. If
Russell continues to gain on Brackett in
the State outside of Boston, as he has so
far, he will be elected Governor by at leas 1
50,000 plurality.
The indications are that the Democrat-
have gained two Congressmen, at least.
Boston, November 4.—11:30 p. m.—
llenry Cabot Lodge is re-elected without
doubt in the Sixtli district, but he admi s
that his majority will not be much ■ \<-
1,000, in place of 5,300 two years a*u in
the First district, Randall, Republic a , r -
elected. In the Second district, E A
Morse, Republican, re-elected. In in
Third, Andrews, Democrat, is re-el
quires to be provided has been placed in
them. The official- ballots and ballot
boxes were arranged in place and every
thing in readiness for the voter3. There
was an unusually large number of work
ers about the polls, the People’s Munici
pal League alone supplying a
small army themselves. Politicians from
every party made hnusual efforts to get
out a full vote, and to get it in early. The
voting, in consequence of the require
ment of the new law,proceeded more slowly
than usual, but with greater steadiness
and at noon a greater proportion of regis
tered votes than customery at that hour
had cast their ballots. The new ballot
law did not seem to interfere to any ex
tent with the voting in the tenement
house districts. The voters had beea-dili-
gently instructed in the use of the posters,
and far more of them than of the original
official ballots were used. In most every
district, however, some citizens lost their
votes through failure to comply with the
provisions of the law within the prescribed
ten minutes. A large number of those
who thus lost their votes were citizens
possessing education and intelligence, but
who had failed to acquaint themselves
with the details of the law. The overcast
look of the morning caused many
apprehensions to the Fusionists, but
as the skies became clear their hopes were
revived. Every man seemed free under
the new law. He could listen with appa
rent attention to the solicitation of heelers
and go and vote against them without
their being any the wiser.
The Supreme Court Justices took turns
in sitting, from 6 o’clock in the morning
in order to give any complaining voter a
chance to be heard.
Albany, November 4.—Violations of
the new election law are reported from all
over the city. The inspectors who
handled the ballots have trans
posed the one to be voted for
one of the refused ballots. Several arrests
have been made. Bribery is open. The
fifteen feet rule is not adhered to. The
booths in the western districts are on the
sidewalk, thus affording opportunity for
heelers to help voters prepare their ballots.
Buffalo. November 4.—At daybreak
there was an inch of snow on the ground,
but it soon melted leaving the streets in
a sloppy condition. The clouds cleared by
noon and the sun shone brightly. The
voting under the new law progressed
smoothly, except in rare instances, and the
indications are that a large vote will be
polled.
Hudson, November 4.—At noon two
men were arrested for bribery at the polls
and others will follow.
Rochester, November 4.—The day
opened with the ground coated with snow,
which soon gave way before the sunshine.
A heavy early vote was polled, but very
little excitement about the polls, owing to
the restrictions of the new law. Nearly
all the voters had to ask more or less
questions as to how the ballots should be
doubled and what to do with the ones they
did not wish to vote, notwithstanding the
explanations given repeatedly in all the
city papers.
Troy, November 4.—Election day is
the quietest in years. The lack of crowds
places is noticable.
,nt. A few arrests
nor offenses. About
polled.

greatly reduced from 1888, and his election
is by no means assured. The Ninth dis
trict is close, with Candler, Republican,
slightly in the lead at present. Walker,
Republican, is returned in the Tenth dis
trict. Returns from the Eleventh district
indicate a close vote between Spalding Re
publican, Coolridge Democrat, and Myron
1’. Walker Independent. The Twelfth
district will return Rockwell Republican.
Boston, November 4.—One hundred
and nine cities ond towns, including Bos
ton and Taunton, give Blackmer, Prohibi
tionist, 4,898; Brackett, Republican, 43,-
585; Russell, Democrat, 52,055. The same
towns last year gave Biaekmer 4,649,
Brackett 46,295, Russell 45,383, a net
gain for Russell of 9,282.
MINNESOTA.
Minnenapolis, Minn., November 4.—
Today is the first general trial of the Aus
tralian ballot system in Minnesota. From
all accounts, at this early hour, it works
beautifully and a large vote is being polled.
Meriam, Republican, is being scratched
considerably for Governor, mostly in favor
of Owen, the Alliance candidate.
MISSISSIPPI.
Jackson, November 4.—The election
passed off quietly throughout the State.
The indications are that the Democrats
will elect a solid Congressional delegation.
Meriden, Novembtr 4.—Over 100
(owns show only a loss of two legislators
to the Republicans, and as they have 06
on a joint ballot it cannot now be changed,
so that l’lalt is certain to be his own suc-
<t>ssor in the United States Senate.
MISSOURI.
Kansas City, November4.—11 a. m.—
The election is passing off quietly. The
vote is very light and the weather fair and
warm.
Springfield, November 4.—The elec
tion is passing off quietly. The revolt
against Wade (Republican) for Congress is
proving heavy, and unless there is a de
cided change before the polls close, Fyan
(Democrat) will be elected.
MICHIGAN.
Detroit, November 4.—The weather is
eold, raw and threatens rains and snow.
There was a light fall of snow last night,
in consequence of which the roads are
muddy and slushy. This may have the
effect of cutting down the vote in the rural
districts. A large vote is being polled in
tlie eitv.

in every election district, and the work of

Albany, November^ 4—The Argus
claims that the Assemblf will stand 68
Democrats to 60 'Ke^u^licans, giving the
Democrats a majority on a joint ballot and
electing a Democratic United States Sena
tor from New York.
Morrisville, November 4.—George
Ray (Republican) is elected in the Twenty-
sixth Congressional district. The district
is now represented by Delano (Repub
lican.)
Buffalo, November 4.—Returns from
Western New York counties indicate the
election of the following candidates for
Congress: Thirty-first district, Wadsworth.
Republican; Thirty-second, Lockwood,
Democrat; Thirty-third, Bunding, Demo
crat; probably the Thirty-fourth, Hooker,
Republican. Politically this means a
change, Lockwood (Democrat), Cleveland’s
friend, taking the place of Farquhar.
New York, November 4.—Eight hun
dred and ninety-two election districts give
Scott 86.501 and Grant 109,415.
New York, November 4.—10 p. m.—
The returns so far received give the fol-
owing as a reasonable estimate of the
Congressmen elected in New York State:

NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Concord, November 4—The indica
tions are that there is no choice of Gov
ernor by people of this State: that McKin
ney (Democrat) is elected to Congress in
the First district, and that the Second dis
trict is very close, the chances being in
favor of Moore (Republican). In 73 towns
the Democrats gain 18 members of the
House of Representatives, and at their
headquarters, in this city, they claim they
have carried it by a good majority.
Concord, November 4—The Republi
cans concede the election of McKinney
(Democrat) for Congress in the First dis
trict by 700 plurality. The returns from
seventy-five towns give Tuttle (Republi
can), for Governor, 12,606: Amsdem (Dem
ocrat) 13,344, Fletcher (Prohibitionist)
372. The same towns in 1888 gave Goode
(Republican) 14,021, Amsdem (Democrat)
4,062, Carr (Prohibitionist) 421, a Republi
can net loss of 642.
Concord, November 4.—Returns from
119 towns and cities give Tuttle, Republi
can, 18,5*62; Amsden, Democrat, 19,178;
Fletcher. Prohibitionist, 565. The same
places in 1888 gave Goodell, Republican,
20,728; Amsden, Democrat, 20,274, Carr,
Prohibitionist, 727, a Republican net loss
of 900.
NEW JERSEY.
Trenton, November 4.—The returns
from this State are likely to be late to
night. The polls close at 7 o’clock p. m.,
when the officers take recess for dinner.
The counting of ballots will probably con
sume more time than heretofore, because
of the new law which requires every ballet
to be placed in an envelope.
Trenton, November 4.—The verdict
tonight is favorable to the ballot reform
law.
NEBRASKA.
Omaha, November 4.—The prohibitory
amendment is receiving a black eye. Pick
ard, the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, is being scratched; also Connell, the
Republican candidate for Congress.
NORTH CAROLINA.
Raleigh, November 4.—It is a lovely
autumn day. The voting is progressing
quietly here, and as far as known through
out the State. Some negroes here have
split from the Republican nominees and
voted the independent colored ticket, and
in some cases for the Democrats.
Asheville, November 4.—Asheville
township, which includes three precincts
outside of the city, gives Crawford (Demo
crat) 467 majority over Ewart (Republi
can). The Democrats claim Crawford’s
election by from 800 to 1,200.
Wilmington, November 4.—The Re
publicans concede the State to the Demo
crats. The Democrats claim eight of the
nine Congressmen. The Repnblicans
claim two, The Democrats claim the
State by 20,000.
Raleigh, November 4.—Scattering re
turns show the election of the following
Democratic Congressmen: Branch, First
district; Grady, Third; Bunn, Fourth;
Williams, Fifth; Alexander, Sixth; Hen
derson, Seventh. The returns from the
Second, Eighth and Ninth are not conclu
sive. The Democratic State judicial ticket
is elected by a large majority.
Raleigh, November 4.—Returns indi
cate the election of Crawford (Democrat)
in the Ninth district. Democrats are
probably elected in every Congressional
district except in the Second, where Cheat
ham (colored Republican) will win.
Ralikgh, November 4.—Returns from
the Seventh district indicate the election
of Cowles, Democrat, to Congress over
Fuacette Independent Alliance Democrat.
The First Congressional district is sure,
and the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Tenth
are doubtful.
OHIO.
Cincinnati, November!.—The weather
is disagreeable with snow, rain and fog in
the morning, but with clearing indications.
A heavy vote is being polled. All the in
terest centers on the Congressional ticket.
Major McKinley was heartily cheered when
he approached the polls at 9 o’clock this
morning and voted. So far as the party
managers can exert themselves every vote
will be polled. Warwick’s friends are con
fident of his defeating McKinley.
Canton, November 4.—The indications
are, at 1:30 o’clock, that an unusually full
vote will be polled throughout the district.
Fully three-fourths of the total vote was
cast by noon. It seems to be less scratch
ing than reported, although the Republi
cans claim that Warwick is losing votes to
McKinley. *Tlie Democrats on the other
hand, claim that McKinley will run but
little ahead of his ticket Interest in the
outcome of the election is so general that
business is practically suspended. Major
McKinley expresses himself confident of
his election.
Cincinnati, November 4 —The weather
is fair. The voting progressing quietly
and with such rapidity that a full vote is
almost certain. In many precincts two
thirds of the registered vote was in before
9 o’clock.
Cincinnati, November 4.—With the
exception of a few saloon keepers who
violated the law by Keeping their places
open on election day, there were no ar
rests in the city on account of Itie election.
The law, which has been in effect several
years, prohibits gathering within 100 feet
of polling places, and the consequence is
that there were no gatherings at all and
none of the excitement fostered by crowds
is now to be seen at elections; besides
there has been no unusual excitement here
during the canvass, no torchlight proces
sions, no outdoor meetings, and little of
the bitterness or wrangling usually preced
ing an election. Today’s voting was a re
flex of the dignified calmness that has
marked the conduct of the campaign.
Voters approached the polls free from so
licitations of ward workers, and on deposit
ing their ballots left the place. As a result,
there were no quarrels, no crime, and
voters went about their business confidapt
that under the efficient administration of
the registration law there was no need of
scrutiny to see that there was no defeat of
the people’s will by trickery or criminal
perversion of the returns. The divisions
among Democrats, caused by the abolish
ment of the Board of City Improvements
at the suggestion of Gov. Campbell, had
its effect in a general apathy among many
of tho most active men in the Democratic
party. So, when the polls closed, there
was a general feeling that, the Republicans
had carried the county by a good majority,
that Stores, Republican, had defeated Cos-
grave in the First district, and that Cald
well, Republican in the Second district,
was re-elected by a handsome majority.
The Democrats do not generally concede
the defeat of Cosgrave, and some of them
claim the election of a Democratic Sheriff.
Columbus, O., November 4.—The
weather has continued gloomy all day, and
toward evening strongly threatened to
rain. The indications are for one of the
lightest votes in the city which has been
cast for years. This seems in a great
measure to be confined to the German
wards and the Repnblicans, therefore, an
ticipate some advantages, but reports from
Republican strongholus also indicate a
short vote, though hardly to the extent
that will effect the Democratic shortage.
The contest is confirmed almost exclu
sively to the local ticket, and much
scratching is being done. The vote for
Congressmen is claiming no attention, and
Outhwaite will be elected with a slight
falling off from the usual Democratic my-
joritv in the district. The polls will close
at 6 o’clock p. m., and it is expected some
of the minor precincts will be counted by
8:30 o’clock p. m.
Cleveland, November 4.—The indica
tions are now that Johnson, the Demo
cratic candidate for Congress in this dis
trict, is elected. The Republican county
ticket, except perhaps the candidate for
Sheriff, is elected.
Columbus, November 4.—Early re
turns from nearly every section in the
State indicate a Republican victory on
minor State offices by majorities ranging
from 15,000 to 20,000.
Canton, O., November 4.—Thirteen
precincts in Starke county, out of a total
of 64, gives a gain for McKinley over 1889
of 545. McKinley’s own ward complete,'
just in, gives a gain of 385. This makes
McKinley’s gain 846 in 14 of 64 precincts
in Starke county, which went 1100 for
Campbell last year. One precinct heard
from in Medina county gives McKinley a
gain of 27.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Pittsburg, November 4.—From pres'
ent indications the vote polled to-day will
be the heaviest ever known here, and great
interest is being manifested in the election.
Both parties are exerting themselves to
the utmost to get out every voter. So far,
the Pattison vote in Pittsburg and Alle
gheny City is not as large as was expected.
A great deal of scratching is being done,
but it is not as general as anticipated, and
the indications are that the Republican
State ticket will puli through with a re
duced majority. A peculiar feature of the
election is the severe scratching Congress
man Dalzell (Republican) is receiving.
His majority, however, is so large that
there is no danger of his defeat. Charges
of fraud and illegal voting are
being made by both parties.
In the first ward United States Marshals
were placed at the polls. The feeling is
intensely bitter, particularly between the
two factions of the Republican party, but
o far no trouble is reported. Today is
cloudy and raw.
Harrisburg, November 4.—The elec
tion is passing off quietly. The weather
is favorable for a large vote. The local
contests resulted in considerable feeling,
and there are all sorts of rumors to the ef
fect that the friends of several contestants
are trading the remainder of the State and
county tickets for their favorites. Demo
cratic County Chairman Hamilton had
Charles Moore, the colored Republican
janitor of the State school building, ar
rested for illegal voting. He had a hear
ing and was bailed for court. Chairman
Hamilton claims the city for Pattison by
a majority of 200, which the Republicans
do not concede.
Pittsburg, November 4.—Senator Quay
telegraphs from Beaver: “The battle is
over. Delamater will have a majority of
30,000 in the-State.”
Philadelphia, November 4.—Thirty-
five counties, including Allegheny and
not inncluding Philadelphia, give Pattison
a net plurality of 7,775, a net Democratic
gain, as compared with the vote of the
same counties in 1886, of 24,162.
Philadelphia, November 4.—The fol
lowing are some of the gains for Pattison
and Delamater respectively: Pattison
gains Lehigh county by 139, Fuloncounty
by 43, Blair by 297, Lancasti r b /181,
Miffliu by 161, Armstrong by 340,1 ork by
1,408, Lyconning by 604, Lebanon by 566,
Northampton by 193, Columbia by 203.
Tioga by 860, Centre by 1,050, Chester,
with half of the county heard from, it is
estimated that Pattison has carried the
county by about 600 majority. (This
would indicate a Democratic gain of 4,200.)
Butler 679, Allegheny 2,811, Berks 2,710,
Indiana 400, Juniata 55, Mercer 1,518,
Huntingdon, indicated, 700, Philadelphia,
Second ward 248, Thirteenth ward 240,
Fifteenth ward 935, Fourteenth and Sev
enteenth wards 325, Eighth and Ninth
wards 107, Eleventh and Twentieth wards
985. Delamater gains: Northumberland
county 73, Montonur county 34, Philadel
phia. Sixth ward 97, Tenth ward 37, Fifth
ward 316. These are all so far as heard
from.
VIRGINIA.
Norfolk, Va., November, 4.—The
weather is beautiful. The voting is pro
gressing quietly throughout this district.
So. far as heard from at this time, the in
dications point to a light colored vote, and
that the contest will be close. The Dem
ocrats are confident, and the straight out
Republicans uneasy. In one precinct,
Norfolk county, the negroes are voting
almost Solidly for Murdough, Independent
Republican.
Richmond, Va., November 4.—Clear
pleasant weather prevails generally throgh-
out the State. The election is progress
ing quietly, the Democrats polling about
the usual vote in the cities of Richmond
and Manchester for George D. Wise, for
Congress, who has no opposition. A no
table feature of the election is the absence
of colored voters at the polls. Occasion
ally one may be observed approaching
the precinct with a Democratic
ballot in had.
Danville, November 4.—The weather
is fair. The election is going off without
interest. Lester (Democrat) has no oppo
sition except from Adams (Prohibitionist).
Adams has not received half a dozen votes,
and the Repnblicans are not voting at all.
Lester will have a walk-over in this dis
trict.
Roanoke, November 4.—The weather
is clear and cool. The voting is light,
almost entirely Democratic.
John M. Langston came over from
Petersburg this morning. The object of
his visit has not been ascertained. The
election in Petersburg is quite spirited.
Habbisonbubg, November 4.—The
voting is very light. Little interest is
manifested. O’Ferrall (Democrat) is get
ting nearly all the votes against Under
wood (Prohibitionist). Reports from the
county are to the same effect.
Chablottsvilli, November 4.—The
weather is cool and clondy. O’Ferrall,
Democrat, is unopposed. The vote is very
light.
Winchester, November 4.—The weath
er is cloudy. There will not be a full vote.
O’Ferrall, Democrat, is receiving all the
votes cast with few exceptions, and these
are cast for tJnderwood, the Prohibition
candidate. There is no Republican candi
date. Not a negro has been near the polls.
They are taking no interest in the elec
tion, a few voting for O’Ferrall.
Staunton, November 4.—Ti e weather
is clear and cool, and a small vote is being
cast. Up to 2 o’clock p. m. Tucker,the Dem
ocratic nominee in the Tenth district, has
no opposition, the Republicans not voting
Lynchburg, November 4.—A very light
vote is being polled, and the weather is
clear and delightful. The colored people
are taking no part in the election. Only
six or seven have voted in the city.
Winchester, November 4.—There was
a light vote. O’Ferrell's (Democrat) ma
jority in the city is 297, Underwood (Pro
hibitionist)^.
Staunton, November 4.—Staunton,
with a registration of 1,400, cast 711 votes.
A less per cent, of the county vote, it is
estimated, will cast. Tucker (Democrat)
has no opposition for Congress, and con
sequently no general interest was mani
fested.
Harrisonburg, November 4.—This
precinct gives O’Ferrall (Democrat) 321,
Underwood (Prohibitionist) 66. Not half
of the vote is out.
Richmond, November 4.—George D.
Wise’s vote in this city is 7,244. In the
Congressional contest against Waddell io
1888 Wise’s vote was 8.040. The vote to
day is regarded as an extraordinary one, in
view of the fact that Wise had no opposi
tion.

AFTER EACH OTHER’S GORE.
Richmond, Va., November 4.—City
Councilmen A. B. Guigon and A. J. Phil
lips were arrested this morning upon the
charge of being about to commit a breach
of the peace by fighting a duel or other
wise. Justice Cratcbfield, after hearing
the testimony, dismissed the case. The
parties had a hot altercation in the Coun
cil chamber this morning, which was re
sumed on the street, where the lie was
Danville, November 4.—Later re
turns from Pottsylvania, Henry, Patrick
and Clay counties, confirm previous dis
patches.
Lester’s majority in the district is any
where from 7,000 to 10,000. The Repub
licans lack no interest in the election.
Norfolk, November 4.—Norfolk city
gives Lawton, Democrat, a plurality of
1441 over Bowden, Republican, the regu
lar, and Murdough, the Independent Re
publican candidate, a gain of 2,100 over
the election of 1888. Norfolk county gives
Bowden about 300 majority, a Republican
loss of 1,400. The returns^ from the dis
trict show large Democratic gains, and
the indications are that the Republican
majority in 1888 of 6,100 will be overcome,
and that Lawson, Democrat, has defeated
Bowden by a small majority. Both sides
claim the election, but the Democrats are
confident and the Republicans are low-
spirited.
Danville, Va., November 4.—Dan
ville, and North Danville, gave Lester,
Democrat, 1085; Adams, Prohibitionists,
47. Four precincts in Pottsylvania county
gave Lester 267 majority. The Republi
cans had no candidate in the field, and
Lester’s majority over Adams will be over
whelming.
Charlottesville, Va., November 4.—
There was a very light vote here. O’Fer-
rairs vote in the city is 587, Underwood’s,
Prohibition, 78.
Richmond, November 4.—The returns
from every Congressional district in the
State, where there is a contest, show
Democratic gains over the vote of 1888.
Jones, Democrat, is believed to be elected
in the First district over Browne, Republi
can. Wise, Democrat, is elected in the
Third. Lester, Democrat, in the Fifth de
feats Adams, Prohibitionist. Edmunds,
in the Sixth, defeats Shelburne, Prohibi
tionist. O’Ferrall, in the Seventh, defeats
Lawson, Independent Republican. Lee,
in the Eighth, defeats Hume, Independent.
Tucker, in the Tenth, defeats Taylor, Re
publican. The contest in fhe Second,
Fourth and Ninth districts are still in
doubt, but the Democrats claim them all.
Winchester, November 4.—The re
turns from Frederick county show that
the Democratic vote is larger than was
expected. O’Ferrall, Democrat, received
nearly all the votes. A few were cast for
Underwood, Prohibitionist.
Richmond, November 4.—The follow
ing is the vote of the city of Pittsburg:
Epes, Democrat, 2,371; Langston, Repub
lican, 735, a large Democratic gain. The
Democrats also make gains in the counties
of Brunswick, Nallaway, Prince Edward
and Amelia, which are in Langston’s dis
trict. /
Alexandria, November 4.—Lee has
not less than 1,500 majority in the Eighth
district.
Lynchburg, November 4.—Paul C.
Edmunds; Democratic nominee in the
Sixth district, had a walk-over in this city
todays Thevote stands: Edmunds, 1,340;
Shelburne (Prohibitionist), 13. There is
no doubt of Edwards carrying the district
by a large majority.
Richmond, November 4.—Chairman
Ellyson, of the Democratic State commit
tee, claims that his party has carried nine
of the ten Congressional districts in the
State. In answer to what about the Ninth
district, where the fight was made
on the protective tariff issue, he
handed the Associated Press representa
tive the following special telegram from
Samuel Williams, chairman of the Con
gressional committee: “Partial returns-
indicate Buchanan’s re-election beyond
all doubt. Large Democratic gains.”
Joseph Duke, Democratic chairman of
the Second congressional district, tele
graphs Chairman Ellyson that Lawson,
Democrat, defeats Bowden by betweenSOO
and 1,000 votes.
Chairman Lasseter, of the Fourth, tele
graphs that Epes, Democrat, defeats
Langston, colored Republican, by about
2,000 majority. The returns from the
First district indicate that Jones, Demo
crat, defeats Browne by upwards of 1,000
majority. If the claims of these consid
ered doubtful districts are sustained, Vir
ginia elects a solid Democratic delegation
to Congress.
WISCONSIN.
Milwaukee, November 4—When the
polls closed at 5 o’clock this evening, the
most unique and exciting political strug
gle iu the history of the city came to an
end. The feature of the day was the ac
tivity of the Catholic and Lutheran Clergy
in marshaling their forces against the
Bennett law. At the polling booth, Crane,
of Greenbosh and Mitchell streets, on the
south side, almost in the shadow of the
Catholic church, two Polish priests busied
themselves in seeing that each §>f their
countrymen voted as early as possble, and
examined their ballots to make sure that
they were cast againt the “little school
house.” Father Grueza bustled around
in the crowd carrying a little-
silve-headed cane which he swung;
in an animated manner. From this placs-
he posted off to the fourth precinct of the
Twelfth ward, on Grove street. His church
is outside the city, in the town of Lake,
and he stated triumphantly to all friends
that when he left his precinct there had
been only one or two Republican votes
against 100 Democratic. Some curiosity
was manifested in the second precinct of
the Sixth ward, where theLapuchin monks
had registered. About 10 o’clock they
appeared, twenty-three strong, beaded by
the father guardian. A crowd gathered at
the corner while they drew up on the side
walk and went into the booth one by one.
Each of them was allowed to cast his
ballot without molestation from the
Republican challengers, as it had
been ascertained that they had
all been naturalized. As quietly as-
they had come they went away, and there
were 23 more Democratic ballots in the
box. The most enthusiastic of the Luth
eran church held a meeting last night, at
which Democratic tickets were distributed.
At the booths, the Lutherans would not
have anything to do with the peddlers.
Some of them would take anything put in
their hands, and shove it into their
pockets, where it was presumbably
left. The character of the vote cast is
consequently a mystery. The Democrats,
of course, claimed that every Lutheran
who appeared with his ticket in his
pocket, put in a straight Democratic
vote, but the other side claimed,
just as confidently, that the reason
why the Lutherans acted so mysteriously
was that they wanted to fix their tickets
to suit themselves without letting any
body know it. At nearly every polling place
some Lutheran, generally a school teacher,
was stationed to see that their people did
not allow themselves to be persuaded to
accept tickets from the Republican ped-
alers. The Prohibition and Labor voters
generally went to the Republicans. At
most of the polls there was no Labor
ticket peddled at all. In some
precincts, no Straight Labor
tickets could he had, even at the booths.
A number of Republican peddlers had
Union Labor tickets with the names of
Hoard, Spencer and the respective Repub
lican candidates for the Assembly. Split
tickets of every imaginable kind could be
found in most precincts. The favorite
was the Democratic ticket with the Repub
lican Congress ionai and county candidates
pasted over it, and these seemed to be in.)
considerable demand among the Luther
ans. Pastors of all the different candi
dates were distributed in untold quantities.
SOUTH C AROLINA.
Columbia, S. C., November 4.—The
weather is very fine. A light, vote is be
ing polled. Reports of unr. gis.ereu voters
being allowed to vote, come from several
parts of the state, and of votes being sto
len. At Democratic headquarters it was
ascertained that the negroes are not. voting
to any great extent. Everything is quiet:
and orderly thus far.
Charleston, November 4.— l he weath
er throughout the Sta.e is clear aim bright.
The voting is light, i be prospects are
now that the vote will be small. The full
white vote will not be polled, and die ne
groes are taking little interest io he State
or Congressional elections The indica
tions are that the regular Democrat, or
Tillman ticket, will be elects .
Chairman Irby, of the State committee,
telegraphed from Columbia at 12 o’clock
as follows: The prospects are glorious.
The negroes are taking but huh interest
here. At Georgetown they are voting for
Tillman.
Chairman Lysle, of the Haskei com
mittee, telegraphed: Gross irregularities
have' been practiced by the Tiihuanites,
but all the views indicates Judge llaskel’s
election by a large majority,.
Scattering dispatches from all parts of
the State say that the negroes are staying
away from the pells. The Democratic can
didates for Congress in all the districts,
except possibly in the Seventh, will be
elected. Even the Seventh district is
claimed by the Democrats, because the
white Democrats are voting solidly for
Elliott. The negroes are divided between
Millen and Brayton, the two Republican,
candidates.
Charleston, November 4.—The total
vote in the State today will not exceed
75.000. Tillman is elected by not more
than 25,000 majority. The election has
been absolutely devoid of incident or ex
citement. Neither whites nor blacks were
enthusiastic, and thousands absented
themselves from the polls, many because
they bad no registration certificates, and
many more because they could not vote
for Tillman and would not vote for Has
kell. The negroes having no regular
ticket in the field declined to choose be
tween Democrats.
The vote in Charleston was the lightest
ever known, the total being about 5,000,
out of a total registered vote of about
10.000.
The returns from the Congressional
districts are not yet complete, hut the
figures so far received absolutely assure
the election of W. H. Browley, -Democrat,
from the First district; George D. Tillman,
Democrat, from the Second district; George
Johnson, Democrat, from the Third dis
trict; G. W. Shelly, Alliance Democrat,
from the Fourth district; John J. Hemp
hill, Democrat, from the Fifth district; E.
T. Stackhouse, Alliance Democrat, from
the Sixth district. The result in the
Seventh is not yet determined, although
all the returns so far received indicate the
election of T. E. Miller, colored Republi
can in Beaufort county. The fusion Re
publicans and Democratic ticket has
been elected in Barkely county.
The indications are that the
Independent Democratic anti-Tillman
ticket is elected in all other counties. The
regular Democratic ticket is successful in
most cases without opposition.
The next Legislature will have an over
whelming Tillman-Democratic majority.
This Legislature will elect the successor to’
Senator Hampton and it is feared that he
will be defeated, though the TiHmanites
have not united on a candidate as far as is
known.
WEST VIRGINIA.
Charleston, November 4.—The indi
cations point to a Democratic victory in
the Congressional and Senatorial districts.
The Democrats have made large gains in
this city and county, but the result wilt
not be definitely known until tomorrow.
