TOE NEXT HOUSE. Republicans Confident of a Small Majority, Vt'hile the Democrat Claim Fifty. Special to the In dJjia polls Journal. Washington. Nov. 4. There is Tery lit tle excitement in Washington to-night, al though groups of department clerks are congregated wherever the election returns are being received. They exchange com ments and prognostications between the announcements of the dispatches. The headquarters of the Kepublican committee were closed all day, and the Democratic committee-rooms were in charge of a jani tor. Therewaano regular betting on the elections, although a few small sums was staked by politicians about the hotel lob bies and telegraph offices. The Republic ans who have been taking partjn the man agement of the campaign, or have been watching the work of the committee close ly, have maintained the utmost confidence throughout the entire day, and have de clared positively that the entire result would give the House of Representa tives to! the Republicans by a small majority, j The Democrats, on the other hand, were claiming everything. JOvery doubtful district they were certain would elect the Democratic candidate, and (tome leading politicians in the District, of the Democratic persuasion, went so far as to claim a majority of fifty in the next House. There is a very general opinion among thoao familiar with the political situation that in case the Democrats carry the House an extra session will be called. The reasons for this have already been stated in these dispatches, being the anxiety to dispose of the number of important pending bills which the Republicans desire to place upon the statute-books before they give up the control of legislation. The usual congrega tion that grathers at the White House to re ceive election returns was absent to-night, because the President was away. The man ager of the Western Union Telegraph Com pany kindly sent returns to Mr. Blaine's house as fast as they came, and a few friends dropped in there during the course of the evening and remained until midnight to await ttio result- There appears to be less anxiety, although quite as much interest as usual. At 10 o'clock to-night there were fewer people in the streets than usual, and the indifference concerning, the result of the election is difficult to explain. The bulletin-boards at the telegraph offices were casually scanned by passers-by, and occa sionally a group of a dozen or more would gather as some fresh dispatches would be posted, but they would soon disperse and wander off to their homes. The clubs were receiving tissue dispatches from the tele graph offices, which were read out to small clusters of gentlemen as they came, but they caused no excitement whatever. The oldest inhabitant cannot remember a duller election night. At the Republican headquarters at 10 o'clock there was but one man to be seen and he was the colored janitor, and only a single gas jet was burn ing. When asked where the people were he replied that tbey had all gone home to vote. RESULTS IN OHIO. Democratic Waterloo In Hamilton County Ttoth Congressmen Elected. Cincinnati. Nov. 4. The election here to-day resulted in a Democratic Waterloo, as will be seen by the returns. In 107 pre-, cincts in Hamilton county, Ryan, Repub lican candidate for Secretary of State, has a majority over Cromley of 6,007. Last year in the same precincts Campbell had a majority over Foraker of 7,057, showing a net Republican gain of 13,001. There are thirty precinct yet to hear from. The en tiro Republican ticket in the county is elected by majorities ranging from .4,000 to 7,100. Unofficial footings of the First district, except one precinct, give Storer, Rod., for Congress, a majority of 2.1S0. Campbell, Dein., carried this district last year by a majority of 5,137. Storer carried his own precinct by eighty-two majority, which is much larger than ever before given to a Republican candidate. He made a gain of ICO in Madisonville. The Lincoln Club estimates Ryan'a majority in Hamilton county at 7,000. Caldwell, Rep., in the Second dis trict, is elected by a neavy majority. The total vote in Hamilton county, with seven precincts missing, gives Ryan, Rep., for Secretary of State, 37,034; Cromley. Dexn., 0,074. In the First congressional district Storer, Rep., 10,121; Cosgrove, Dem., 14,041. Second district, Caldwell, Rep., 21,0-8; Brown, Dem., 13,005. All but one precinct gives Ryan 38,875; Cromley, 30,023. First congressional dis trict, Storer, Rep., 16,7C3; Cosgrove, 14,503. Second district, Caldwell, 21,723; Brown, 14,111. m MCKINLEY raOBABLY ELECTED. Every Indication that the Drave Protectionist Has Won a Gallant Fight. Columbus, O., Nov. 4. The vote in the Sixteenth (McKinley'i) district was remark ably heavy, and interest ran so high that business of all kinds was prac tically suspended. The returns from the very first showed wonder ful gains for McKinley over two years ago. His own warn gave him a gain of . When fourteen of the sixty -four precinots of Stark county, which, gave a majority of 1,100 for Campbell, were in, they showed a gain of S4t for McKinley. Then Medina county began to come m. every precint showing a gain. Then the chalman of the Wayne county com mittee telegraphed that McKinley had carried the county by 400. Campbell carried it last year by ttJO. A dispatch from Canton says: "At 11 o'clock twen ty-live of eixty-four voting precincts in Stark county give McKinley a net gain of to overcome a plurality of 1,031 in ls'J. Up to this hour but eight precincts have been heard from out of Stark county, which give a net gain of 1C0 only, making total gain in the district so far as heard from of 1J44 in thirty-three precincts, with a total of 120 precincts to overcomo 2,000 majority. The Tabernacle, where Major McKinly is sur ryuided by coo cnthubatio citizens, with as many more outside trying to get in, pre- rents a scene oi enthusiasm un- equaled oven at any part of this most remarkable campaign." At 11:30, when the great gains were coming in, cheer after cheer went up, and cries of 'McKinley" were repeated so often that finally be arose, and, advancing to tho front of the stage, he spoke, saving that he appeared to thank them for this cordial welcome. "And whatever may be the re sult." he continued, "I want to thank my fellow-citizens of Canton and Stark county for the splendid majority they have given in. Cheers.1 . I want to remind you, in the exuberance of victory, that returns may come from other points of the district that will defeat tho cause of protection, but if we succeed in cutting down that vast Dem ocratic majority it will be tho most splen did victory for the American citizen and laboring man." Ihe returns at that time from twen- ty-tivo of Stark county's sixty-four pre cincts had more than overcome the Demo cratic plurality of last vear. If tho bal ance of the precincts keep up the ratio of increase begun, McKinley will be elected by a handsome maiontv. When ho spoke he had already been given a handsome vindication by his home county, carrying his own ward, his own city and his own count), which have been Democratic, his own ward making a gain of nearly 400. Massillon city and Perry township, War wick's home, gives McKinley 1,301: War wick, 1,534. Warwick's majority in Holmes county is about 1,000. TIIE EMTIItE STATE. How the Australian System Worked at New York Decision That ISIocked the Toll. New York, Nov. 4. The polls opened promptly at 6 o'clock this morning in every election district' in this city, and the work of voting under the new ballot law began without delay. There was an unusually large number of workers about the polls, the People's Municipal League alone sup plying a small army of them. Politicians of every party mad unusual efforts to get out a full vote and get it in early. The voting, in consequence of the requirements of the new law, proceeded more slowly than usual but with greater steadiness, and at noon a greater proportion of the registered voters than is customary at that hour had cast their ballots. The new ' bal lot law did not seem to interfere to any ex tent with the voting in the tenement-house districts. They had all been diligently instructed in the use of pasters. In almost every district, however,' some citizens lost their votes through fail ure to comply with the provisions of the law within the prescribed ten minutes. A largo 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. Every man seemed freer under the new law. Ho could listen with appar ent attention to the solicitations of heelers and go and vote against them without them being the wiser. When the hour for closing the polls (4 o'clock) came there were still in line at many of the polling places a number of voters. According to the instructions given by the police commissioners those who were then actually in line waiting to vote were permitted to do so, but no others were alio wed to go in the line. About 228. 000 votes were polled. The number reg istered was 245,104. Many arrests were made daring the day for illegally registering and voting, and for destroying ballots given out to vote. A number of saloon-keepers were arrested, and held for trial for keeping open their business places in too near proximity to polling places. Tho Supreme Court judges to-day ruled that in case a voter was physically disabled, an assistant should be allowed him in the polling booth. The remedy of the election inspectors was to hold the voter for perjury in violation of the election law if they found he had sworn falsely. In all thirty writs of mandamus were issued by the different Supreme Court judges during the day. the most of which were procured at the instance of ex-Judge Charles Donohue, who sat in court to di rect the applications for writa in the inter est of Tammany Hall. Animportantruling was made in the case of Klias Mauder, who consumed over ten minutes with one set of ballots in the eleventh election district of the Eighth Assembly district. He wanted a new set. but the clerks refused to give another on the ground that he had ex hausted his ten minutes. Judge Andrews decided that he was entitled to ten min utes' consideration of each of the four sets of ballots allowed tho voter by the new law. This virtually gave each voter the right to use a booth for forty minutes. It is easily seen that a few voters in combina tion could keep a booth during the whole period of voting. Total city vote for Mayor shows Grant, 114.425; Scott, 91,008; scattering. 4,516. Congressional lie suit. New York, Nov. 4. Returns jso far as re ceived give the following Congressmen as reasonably certain to havo been elected in New York State: " 1 First James W. Covert. P. econd David A. Boody, IX Third -William C.

Depew walked into the polling booth of tho sixteenth election district of the Twenty-lirst Assembly dis trict to cast his vote. A bunch oi unfolded ballots was handed to him and he was di rected into a little closet to prepare his vote. He stayed there four minutes. He advanced to where the inspectors stood waiting to receive his vote with an air of confidence and said. "I wish to vote this ballot," and he banded a single ballot to the inspector. 4T don't wish to vote these," and he held a bunch to a second inspector. "You must oxcuso me," said the first in spector, "but, Mr. Depew, you have folded our ballots incorrectly. Yon should havo eft the printed inscription on the outside. I am forced to ask 3'ou to veturn to your closet and fold them correctly." "You might as well tako these back with you, also," said the second inspector. "They are all folded the wrong way." Mr. Depew made another trip to the little closet where be refolded his ballots. Then he came out, and with a very red face cast his voto.and doparted. . Tammany Win In Gotham. New York. Nov. 4. 8 r. m. Tammany Hall has gained a decisive victory all along the line over the Republican and County Democracy fusion. Grant, for Mayor, is not likely to fall below 23,000 majority over Scott. Tho vote for district attornoy, in which it was expected thatNicoll. the Tam many nominee, would fall much behind the vote for Grant, will show that he has a ma jority of nearly 21.000 over Goff, the fusion candidate. All the Tammany candidates for other county oflices sheritl, district at torney and president of the Board of Alder men have average majorities of 20.000. The vote for Superior Court judges and for City court judge shows the same major ities in favor of Tammany candidates. Tho county oliiees results, therefore, are the fol- lowing: Grant, Mayor; Gorman, sheriff; Meyers, county clerk; Arnold, president of Board of Aldermen, and G. C. Grich, county judge. SCENES AT WISCONSIN POLES. Active Work or Lutheran Clergy and Cath olic Priests Against the Bennett Law. Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 4. When the polls closed at 5:40 this afternoon, the most unique and exciting political struggle in the history of tho city came to an end. The feature of tho day was the activity of tho Catholics and Lutheran clergy in marshal ing their forces ngainstthe Bennett law. At the polling-booth at the corner of Green bush and Mitchell streets, on the South Side, almost in tho shadow of St. Stanis laus Catholic Church, two Polish priests busied themselves in seeing that each of their countrymen voted as early as possible, and examined their ballots to make sure that they were cast against the 'little red hchool-house." Father Grncza bustled around in the crowd carrying a little silver headed cane, which ho swung in an animated manner. From this place he posted off to the fourth precinct of the Twelfth ward on Grove street, between Rogers and Beecher. Father Grucza's church is outside the city, in the town of Lake, and ho stated triumphantly to a friend that .when he left the precinct in which his church is located there had been only one or two Republican votes cast against one hundred Democrats. Some curiosity was manifested in the second pre cinct of the Sixth ward, where the Capuchin monks had registered. About 10 o'clock they appeared, twenty-three strong, beaded by Father Guadian. A crowd gathered at the corner while they drew up on the side walk and went into the booth one bv one. Each one was allowed to cast his ballot without molestation from the Republican challengers, as it had been ascertained they had all been naturalized. Quietly as they had come they went away, and there were twenty-three more Democratic ballots in the box. Most of the Lutheran churches held meetings last night, at which Democratic tickets were distrib uted. At the booths the Luth erans would not have anything to do with the peddlers. Some of them would take anything that was put in their hands and shove it into their pockets where it was presumably left. The Democrats claimed that every Lutheran who appeared with his ticket in his pocket put m a straight Democratic vote. But the other side claimed just as confidently that the reason why the Lutherans acted so mys teriously was that they wanted to fix up their tickets to suit themselves without letting any body know it. At nearly, every polling place some Lutheran, gener ally a school-teacher, was stationed to see that their people did not allow themselves to be persuaded to accept a ticket from tho Republican peddlers. The Prohibition and Labor votes gener ally went to the Republicans. Split tickets of every imaginable kind could be found in most precincts A favorite was a Demo cratic ticket with tho Republican congres sional and county candidates pasted over it, and theso seemed in considerable de maud among the Lutherans. Pasters of all the different candidates were distributed in untold quantities. Most of the polling places wore surrounded by voters when they opened at sunrise, and the morning vote was very large. At nearly every pre cinct at least a hundred votes had been cast when the 7 o'clock whistles blew. In the second precinct of the Sixteenth ward, for instance, SCO vetes had been cast by 9 o'clock. Nearly 45,000 votes were cast to day. The total registration was 50,000. At the presidential election in 1888 the total registration was 4G,00o, and the vote was 37,38. The vote for Mayor last spring was 31,128. Sixty-three voting precincts in the State of Wisconsin, including thirty-six precincts in the city of Milwaukee, show a net Demo cratic gain of 3.480. John L. Mitchell. Democrat, is un doubtedly elected to Congress from the ' Fourth congressional district. In to-day 'a election tho Republicans lose one CongressmanMitchell, Dem., being eleoted in this district. So far as received the returns indicate the election of Cooper, Rep., in tho First district: Barwig, Dem.. in the Second; LaFollette, Rep., in the Third; Mitchell. Dem., in tho Fourth; Brickner, Dem., In tho Fifth; Clark, Rep., in the Sixth; Thomas, Rep., in the Eighth, and Haugen, Rep., in the Ninth. The Democrats claim the election of Peck and the entire Democratic State ticket, but the returns are too meager to warrant the claim, and the Republicans think Hoard is re-elected by 8,000 or 10,000. The Legisla ture is Republican and Senator Spooner will be re-elected. BALLOTING IN ILLINOIS. Republicans Profited at Chicago by the Fight on the School Question. Chicago, Nov. 4. The election in this city to-day, though hotly contested, passed off very quietly. The day opened cool and clear, but the sky became overcast and rain was threatened. Later the clouds broke away and the sun again appeared. The polls opened at 6 o'clock and closed at 4 o'clock r. M, The chief interest centered in the contest for the shrievalty between Congressman Frank Lawler (Dem.) and James II. Gilbert (Rep.) An element of interest was also injected into the contest for the position of county superintendent of public schools by the candidacy of Mrs. General Mulligan, who was the Democratic nominee. "The littlo red school-house" was the issue. Mrs. Mulligan is a Roman Catholic, and her opponent, Albert ( G. Lato, a Protestant, ;nd the 'public-school question was used for the purpose of turning Democratic votes from Mrs. Mulligan. The Democrats swarmed about the polls from 0 to 8 o'clock voting rapidly and sending the majorities up into the hundreds, but later when the sun began to shine, and the air became warmer the Republicans began to arrive at the polling places. They held no conversation with ticket-peddlers, but took from their vest pockets neatly folded tickets, the contents of which none but themselves knew. Men who had not been to the polls for years visited them to-day and cast their ballots for the Republican candidates. This was really the strong point of the Republican side of the battle. The work had been done on registration day. In short, Cook county has not had an election in many years, if ever, where the rich and aristocratic came in such numbers to vote. Through an error in distribution the Re publican ballots failed to rea m some of the outlying wards at the opening of the polls and many voters were obliged to come into the city to attend to their business with out voting. O wins to the agitation on the compulsory school question and the un certain strength of the ticket of the Citi zens or Patriotic Soni of America, is due the great exteut to which tho respective State tickets were scratched here. The so called Citizens' ticket contained only the names of native-born Americans, and was made up of nominee of the two leading parties, with now and then a Prohibition ist, where the two principal parties hap pened to have both nominated alien-born citizens for some particular office. The Citizens' ticket, which the local politicians dubbed the "Know-nothing ticket," claimed a vote of 15.000 in Cook county, but the returns would indicate that they have not polled over half that number. The con test in the four city congrcssioual districts was largely a personal one, and the tarilt issue is in a large measure lost sight of. Returns will be compared with the presi dential vote of 1S.88, when Harrison's plurality in tho State was 2,000. Otto Hundred precincts out of a total of rC5 in Cook county give Am berg. Repub lican, foi State Treasurer, 9,700; Willson, Democrat, 11,001. . Owing to the largo amount of scratching returns are coming in very slowly from both country and city- districts. The committees of both parties' decline topredict theresultin Cook county. At 11:30 r. m. the uncertainty as to the re sult locally was unprecedented. Probably no such amount of scratching was ever indulged in at any previous election in this city, and tho law requir ing the straight or unscratched ballots to be first counted added to the confusion. Tho returns from straight tickets at this hour indicated that Lawler, the Demo-, cratic candidate for sheriff, was in the lead sufficiently to wipo out by more than a couple of thousand the expected Repub lican maiority of 4.500 in the subnrban towns. Tho same figures indicated the probable defeat of all lour Republican can didates for Congress from this city. The ligurcs on this basis, however, were acknowledged by the Democrats to be more or less misleading,-and the Republicans claimed them to be wholly deceptive. The count of the scratched ballots and returns from the -country villages Were, being awaited with anxiety by -both sides. The polls outside of the city did not close till 7 r. m. Congressional Results. CHICAGO, Nov. 4. Of the twenty con gressional districts in Illinois, the indica tion at 10:S0 r. m. point to the undoubted election of ten Republican and six Demo cratic Congressman, with lour districts of tho State still in doubt. The returns thus far indicate the election of three Republic an Congressman in Chicago and one Demo crat, although the Democrats still deny the election of Taylor in the First, and claim that Mason's victory in the Third is notyet conclusive. Congressmen Adams, Hopkins, Hitt. Henderson, Hill and Payson. Repub licans, aro unquestionably re-elected, as is also probably Rowcll, Rep. There is hardly a doubt of the success of Post, Rep., in the Tenth district. In the Eloventh district Congressman Gest's election has been stubbornly contested by Benjamin T. Cable, Dem.. and the result is still in doubt. Wike. Springer, Lane and Will iams, Democrats, are re-elected, and the indications point to the re-election of Smith, Rep., in the Twentieth dis trict, and Foreman, Dem., in the Eighteenth, with the Sixteenth district still doubtful, but Congressman Fithian claiming his re-election. Chairman Jones, of the Republican State central committee, claims that all of the Republican Congressmen in the State have been re-elected, and that in the Eighteenth (Morrison's) district Lindley, Republican, and Farmers' Alliance, will be elected over Foreman, Dem., the present incum bent. He also claims the State Legislature on a joint ballot by a majority of10. The Democratic committee here do not concede the defeat of their candidates. FIGURES FROM ARKANSAS. IncompleteRetnrns, with Indications of Dem ocratic Gains in Congressional Districts. Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 4. The election was quiet and without incident here. Only about half a vote was polled, Terry, Dem., for Congress, running 1,485 to 1,143 for Har rison. Rep. ' This, the Fourth, is a strong Democratic district, and partial returns from points in half a dozen counties indi cate a small vote everywhere. Dispatches from Clarksville estimate Terry's majority 600 in Johnson county. Specials from Sear cy say indications point to a heavy vote in White county and a large Democratic gain. This township, which gave Eagle, Dem., 60 majority, gives Breckenridge 105 majority for the short term and 164 for the Ion r terra. Eight townships out of thirty give Breck enride 422 majority, which points to COO or 700 majority in the county. Telephone messages from Helena, Clay bonrne county, eay three town ships give Breckenridge, 1,871.' Indica tions are that his majority in the county will be about 50. A telegram from Rnssellville claims 1,000 majority for Breckenridge in Pope coujjty. From the First district few returns are in. Cates's majority in Walnut Ridge - town ship, Lawrence county, is 185, a gain of 74. His majority is 84 in Jacksonport. Jackson county, and 123 in Vanndale, Cross county. Telphone reports estimato Cates's majority in Sharp county double that received by Eagle for Governor. There is no contest in the Third and Fifth districts, McRae and Peel, Democrats, having no opponents. - A Pine Bluff special says: At 1 p. M. Hancock, a negro who was working for the. Langley ticket. "got into a'quarrei with Jim ' Johns, a' negro, who supported Breckin-' rid re. Policeman Learning, a white man. caught Hancock by tho arm and told him to be quiet. As he did fio Hancock put a pistol against Learning's stomach and tired.. The officer fell in the gutter and Hancock lied, but beforo doing so. fired into the crowd, wounding two others, though not seriously. Learning's condition is critical. Hancock was arrested. He is a turbulent character, frequently engaging in rights, and was acting as deputy sheriff. On returns from over one-half the town ships the Democrats claim 900 majority for Cate in Craighead county, against 5C4 over Featherstou in 1888. There are largo Dem ocratic gains everywhere. MASS ACItUS ETTS. Democratic CandWn,inr Governor Probably Elected Candler May He Defeated. Boston, Nov. 4.-The weather through out the State was perfect for a voting day, and a large vote was polled. P. H. Ryan was arrested at the First precinct of the Sixteenth ward on the -charge of voting in a dead man's name. . The vote of Boston, complete, for Gov ernor gives:, Russell, Dent,' S2,0SG; Brack en, Rep.. 10.16C; Blackmer. Pro.. 1.4G4; Rus sell's plurality, 13,110. The vote last year was: Russell. 2S.208; Brackett. 22,754; Black mer, 1,516; Russell's plurality, 5,454; Demo cratic net gain, 7,C50. The Democrats claim the State by 19.000 plurality, and the Republican State com- mittee concedes itusseus election, aitnougn they will not name any figure. ) Twenty-eight -towns iti the Ninth district for Congress, with one city and ten towns to hear from, give Candler, .Rep., 7,423;; Williams, Dem., .7,375; a Democratic gam of over l.SOO. The remaining towns are expected to elect Williams. The Demo crats claim to have gained two Congress men, at least. - 11:30 p. m. Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge is re-elected, without doubt,, in the Sixth congressional district, but he admits that his majority will not be much over 1,000, in place of about 5.300 two years ago. In the First district Randall, liep., is to-ejected; in the Second, E. A. Moree, Rep., is re elected; in the Third, Andrews. Dem., is re-elected; in the Fourth, O'Neill, Dem.; is re-elected; in the Fifth district,' Hoar, Dem., has defeated Fox, Rep.; in the Seventh, Cogswell, .Rep., is re-elected; in the Eighth, according to towns heard from, Greenhalge, Rep., leads, but bv plurality greatly reduced from 18S8. and his election is by no means assured. The Ninth district is close, with Candler. Rep., slightly in tho lead. Congressman Walker, Rep., is re turned in the Tenth district. Returns from the Eleventh district indicate a closo vote between Spaulding, Rep., Coolidge, Dem., and Myron and Walker, Iud. Tho Twelfth district will return Rockwell, Rep. ON TIIE PACIFIC SLOPE. Probability that Clnnle, Democrat, Has Been Defeated for Congress in California. ' San Francisco, Nov. 4. Unusual precau tions were taken in this city to prevent dis turbances at the polls, and, beyond half a dozen arrests for comoaratively trivial offenses, -no trouble was ex perienced. A close contest was made on soVbral municipal offices, and re ports of trading and scratching were numerous. Notwithstanding the fact that the election is complicated in this city by the fact that a number of independent tickets are in the field, the principal ones of which are the reform Democrats and the O'Donnell ticket, the real contest was be tween tho Democratic and Republican par ties. The Prohibition and American par ties, which made an active canvass in 1888 and 188G, have taken but little part in the present campaign. 1 be same may be said of the State at large. The total scatterin g vote two years ago was 7,000, aud it is be lieved it will fall below that number in the State to-day. The Republican State com mittee claims that Loud, Republican can didate for Congress in the Fifth district, is elected over Clunie. Democrat, In the Fourth district the contest was really be tween Cutting, Republican, and Ferral, Democrat, the Reform Democratic candi date, Caton, having failed to show strength. The polls closed at 5 o'clock this afternoon. 0:30 p. m. Ninety-seven precincts out of a totai of S10 precincts in the city of Sau Francisco give a Republican majority of 3,725. Washington. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 4. Meager returns from the entire State, up to C p. M., indi cate the election of Wilson, Rep., for Con gress beyond doubt, though probably by a reduced majority from that of 1S&), owing to a vigorous campaign by the Democrats. Returns thus far indicate both branches of the legislature will be Republican by the usual majority, SOUTH CAROLINA. Tillman, the Regular Democrat, Said to Be Elected Governor by 25,000 Majority. Columbia, S. C, Nov. 4.Scattering re ports from every section of the State indi cate tho election of Tillman, regular Dem ocrat, for Governor, by 25,000 majority; and the entire regular Democratic State ticket by a large majority, except in the coast counties, which have very large negro ma- I'orities.:' In a few of the cities the negroes lavo failed to vote, although they have, when voting, favored the Haskell (straight out Democratic) ticket. It does not look as if 25,000 of the negroes in the State hnd voted, and the white vote is exceedingly light. This is attributable largely to the registration laws, and the general apathy on account of the split in the Democratic party. Fragmentary returns from the various congressional districts, indicate the regular Democratic candidates have had a walk-over, except in the Seventh district, where the contest between Elliott, Demo cratic, and Miller, Republican, is thought to be close. The iigures on Congressman so far re ceived absolutely assure the election of W. H. Brawley, Democrat, from the First dis trict; George D. Tillman, Democrat, the Second district; Geo. Johnston, Democrat, Second district; G. W. Shell, Alliance-Democrat, the Fourth district; John H. Hemp hill, DemocratFifth district; E. T. Stack house, Alliance-Democrat, Sixth district. The result in the Seventh is not yet deter mined, although all returns bo far received indicate the election of T. E. Miller, the colored Republican. Heavy Vote by Kansas Farmers. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 4. Advices from many points in Kansas point to a heavier Farmers' Alliance vote than was antici pated. They claim 125.000 votes for the State ticket. The Republicans concede the fact that the Farmers' Alliance made heavy inroads into their ranks, and claim only 15,000 plurality for their State ticket. The Democrats think Willitt, Farmers' Alliance, may be, elected for Governor. Many Dem ocrats, voted for Willitt and the Farmers' Alliance Congressmen in return for Alliance votes for Democratic Congressmen where no Alliance candidates were in the field. The Farmers' Alliance claim three Con gressmen and Democrats two. The re election of Funston, Rep., and Kelly, Rep., is conceded. Returns from nineteen , counties have been received by the Associated Press. Of these eight have gone Republican, six Dem ocratic and five for the Alliance. Dispatches from Kansas indicate, at 11 p. M., that for the first time in many years Kansas will send a broken Republican delegation to Congress. It is considered certain that Moonlight, Dem., will defeat Broderick, Rep., and L. C. Clark, F. A., in the First district. Webb McNall, Rep., in the Sixth district, is also doubtless elected. The Democratic candidate withdrew in bis favor, but even before that Baker's elec tion was considered very probable. Jerry Simpson. Dem., .and James R. Hallowell, Rep., are running a close race in the Seventh district. . Tho district is in doubt. Returns on tho State ticket indicate the election of Governor Humphrey, Rep., .by 10,000 to 13,000 plurality. Robinson. Dem., is running behind Willet, F. A. Ives, F. A., candidate for State's Attorney-general, is running ahead of his ticket and may be elected. - Fall Vote In South Dakota. St. Paul, Nov. 4. To-day's election throughout South Dakota has been very exciting, and a full vote has been polled. Besides the excitement on the State and congressional tickets, the bitter fight for permanent capital has brought out every vote possible. Last fall, the first State election, tho total vote was over 77,000. and that will. bo found to have been exceeded this year. The uncertainty of the Alliance votes makes an early estimate as to the re sult unreliable. The vote of Minneapolis seems likely to settle the election, that city having already given sufficient of a vote against Merriam to nearly defeat him. Two years ago he left Hennepin county wiiU a plurality of nearly four thousand, but if thes figures thus far reported continue he will leave the . county this year with nearly that much , against him. This fact, together v with the great losses everywhere, indicate a very uinch re duced plurality. Chairman Campbell, of the Democratic State committee, says he thinks they have gained three Congress men and the Governor. - Repnbllcau Losses in Minnesota. St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 4. The returns are very slow coming in. and are very meagre when received. Merriam is losing slightly all over the State, but the loss does not yet seem large enough to defeat him. Com paring with his vote two years ago, when be had a plurality of 24,104, there could be considerable loss, and yet the State not be lostto him. Twenty scattered precincts throughout the State, outside of the big cities, give -Merriam a plurality of 172, as against 246 two years ago in the. same pre cincts. ' This includes part of Otter Tail county, where the Alliance was very strong, and where the Republican ticket was ex pected, to lose heavily. Part of Stearns county, a Democratic stronghold, is also included. The figures on Congressmen are as yet too meagre to be of any service in figuring possible pluralities, and nothing can yet be said as to the Legislature. , . 'Carter Elected In Montana. Helena, Mont, Nov. -4. Favored by fair weather, the vote of Montana for Congress man and eight Senators has probably reached well up to the registration.. Prob ably the greatest effort ever put forth by tho Democracy of the State was that of to-day for the election of Dixon for Congress and supremacy in the State Senate. Chairman Daly, Of the Democratic committee, claims a large vote for Dixon in Deer Lodge and Silver Bow counties. Ex-Governor White, chairman of the Republican committee, at the close of the polls, expressed confidence of the election of Carter and a majority of the Republican State Senators, based on advices from Butte, Missonli and other prominent points west of tho range, in Dixon's part of the State. Indications point to Republican majorities east of the divide, and confidence is expressed in party circles here of Carter's success in the State. Michigan. Detroit, Mich., Nov. 4. The results of to-day's election are still a matter of con jecture to a great extent Owing to the new election law, which was in operation to-day for the first time, returns from all parts of the State will be late, and from many points it has been already announced that tbey will not be' forthcoming till to morrow. The gubernatorial candidates are making a close run, with chances in favor of the Republican nominee, though he is running behind the rest of the ticket. From the Democratic committee it is learned that their candidate for Governor has made big inroads into some of the Re publican strongholds. The Democrats claim tho First congressional district sure, and the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Tenth doubtful. The Republican com mittee are making no claims so far, as they have not yet received sufficient Informa tion to base any estimate upon. The Centennial State. ' Denver,- Col., Nov. 4. An unusual! r heavy vote was cast here and throughout the State. The weather was warm and clear. But one arrest was made, and that tor attempting to influence a voter with a two-dollar bill. The polls closed at 7 P. M. At the Democratic headquarters everyone is jubilant, and Chairman Arbuckle claims the election of the entire ticket by 5,000 on tne basis that 50 per cent, of the registered vote has been cast. Chairman Ashley, of the Republican committee, while admitting that the State Treasurer. Attorney-general and Superintendent of Public Instruction are doubtful, is satisfied that they will elect the remainder of the ticket, including the Legislature. Gaorgla. i Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 4. The Democrats claim a clean sweep of congressional dis tricts, though the returns thus far received from the Seventh district give Felton, Alliance, a small majority over Everett. Democrat. The Fifth acd Ninth districts are still in doubt, with a strong possibility of Haight, Republican, defeating Winn, Democrat, in the Fifth. Republicans Defeated lu Louisiana. New Orleans, Nov. 4. Latest returns indicate that Meyer, Dem., has defeated Warmotb, Rep., for Congress in the First district, by 2,000 majority, and that Lagan. Dem., has defeated Coleman, Rep., for Cou- greasmau in tho Second district, by 3,009. topi telir ' The latest investigations by the United States and Canadian Governments show the Royal Baking Powder superior to all others in leavening strength. -.Statements by other manufacturers to the contrary have been declared by the official authorities falsifica tions of the official reports. In the other districts there was no organ ized opposition to the Democrats, and the following were re-elected to Congress: Third ilinrrirfr- Andrew IL Price: Fourth. W. C. Blancbard; Fifth, C. J. Boatnerjti Sixth, S. E. Robertson. Outside of tho First and Second districts only a light vote was poiieo. Tennessee. Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 4. To-day's elec tion in this city was probably the most quiet ever held. The weather was fine. but only a fair vote "ras polled, apparently no interest being taken in' the outcome. The polls closed at 4:30, and of course the Democrats carry everything. Memphis city complete gives Patterson, Dem., for Congress, 2,163 mnjority over Eaton, Rep. Shelby county will give Patterson 2.700 majority. No comparison can be made with last year's vote, as this is the first trial of the Dortch law. ; Chattanooga complete gives Evans, Rep., for Congress, 833 majority over Sn jdgrass, Dem., a Republican loss of 0S7 from the vote of 1888. In the Third district, S nod grass, Dem., defeats H. C. Evans by a safe majority, thus making a gain of one Congressman for tbe Democrats. In the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth districts the present members are re elected by tho usual majorities. One Republican Congressman in Kentucky. Louisvillj-v Ky., Nov. 4. The election passed off quietly. The weather was very fine, bat there was little interest even for Kentucky and a light vote was polled. The Democrats have probably elected their con gressional candidates in all districts except the Eleventh, where Congressman Wilson has a Republican majority of 8,000 in the past to count on. Congressman Paynter, in the Ninth, had a fight, but won. Caruth, in tbe Louisville district, is elected by about 2.000 majority. Congressman W. C. P. Breckinridge was re-elected by 8,000 majority. There is indi cation of a strong light in the Tenth dis trict. Clark county, a strong Democratio conntv, wont Republican by forty majority. It is tne first time since the war. Kendall, Democrat, may win by 1.000 majority. , Iletnrns Late in Nebraska. . Lincoln, Neb.. Nov. 4. The polls in this county closed at C p. M. No attempt was made to count the ballot until the hour named and the result is entirely problemat ical at 8 p. m. The utmost activity pre vailed everywhere. Women thronged the polling places in the interest of the pro hibitory amendment, but their presence had little or no etfect. Returns from over the State are very meager and of little value. At 10 o'clock returns from over the State are too scarce to base positive assertion on, but indicate the election of Boyd, Dem., for Governor, tho choice of three Demo cratic Congressmen and the defeat of Pro hibition. The majority against the latter will be 17,000 to 20.000. New Hampshire. Concord, N. IL. Nov. 4. Tbe indications at this hour are that there is no choice of Governor by the people of this State; that McKinney, Dem., is elected to Congress in the First district by 700 plurality, and that the Second district is very close, the chances being in favor of Moore, Rep. In 73 towns the' Democrats gain eighteen members of the House of Representatives, and at their headquarters in this cy they claim they have carried it by a good ma jority. Returns from 75 towns give Tuttle, Rep., for Governor, 12.G0G; Amsden. Dem.. 13..i: Fletcher, Pro., 372. The same towns in 18S8 gave Goodell, Rep., 14.021; Amsden, Dem, 14.062; Carr, Pro., 421; Republican net loss, C42. Texas Returns Will De Slow. Austin, Tex., Nov. 4. It will be some days before official returns of the election to-day are received, but it may be assumed that the Democratio State ticket is elected by something like the usual largo majority, namely: Governor, James S. Hogg; Lieutenant-governor, George C. Pendleton: Comptroller, John D. McCall; Treasurer, Win. B. Wortham; Commissioner of Gen eral Land Olfice, W. L. McGaughey; Attorney-general, Charles A. Culberson; Super intendent of Public Instruction, H. C. Pritchett. and a full Democratic or Inde pendent delegation to Congress. Old Virginia. Richmond, Va., Nov. 4. Tho vote in dif ferent sections of the State is reported to be light. George D. Wise's vote in this city is 7,244. In the congressional contest against Waddill, in 18S8. Wise's vote was 804. The vote to-day is regarded is an ex traordinary one in view of the fact that Wise had no opposition. John M. Langston, in an interview, to night, says he was elected by 5.000 in the second, but was beaten on the returns by fraud and intimidation. He says he is will ling to submit his case to a Democratio committee. ' Connecticut. Hartford, Conn., Nov. 4. Eighty-four towns (nocities),ahowMerwin, Rep. forGov ernor, about nine hundred ahead of tbe vote polled by Bulkley. Rep., in 1883, and four thousand ahead of his competitor, Morris. The cities will put Morris ahead, but no choice by the people is at present probable. The Legislature is apparently Republican on joint ballot. Russell, Republican, in Third congressional district, holds his own against Wells, and is evidently elected. Sperry, Dem..- is elected in tho first. North Carolina, Raleigh, N, C, Nov. "4. The weather was fine to-day all over tho Stato and the election passed off quietly. The negro vote fell off in the eastern portion, being largely due to the exodus and the apathy of the voters.' The Democrats are reported to have gained 500 in Johnson county. Returns from fourteen voting precincts in the State show a Democratic gain over 1888 of 445. , West Virginia. CnAicLESTON. W. Va., Nov. 4. Indica tions point to a Democratic victory in this congressional and senatorial district The Democrats havo made large gains in this city and county, but the result wiU not be known until to-morrow. Maryland. Baltimork. Nov. 4. Maryland sends an unbroken Democratio delegation to Con gress. McKaig defeats McComas by about SOO, and Comoton wins over Mndd by SOQ, The other Democratic majorities cit) lu the thousands. ltepublicans Carry Oklahoma. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 4. Returns from Oklahoma Territory are to tho effect that Harvey (Rep.) is elected delegate to Con gress by about one thousand maiority over McCoy (Dem.) and Crocker (Farmers' Al liance). Mormon Elected In Utah. Salt Lake. U. T., Nov. 4. Delegate elec tion passed off quietly. The vote in this city and county was much less that in the August election. Came, Mormon, is elected over Goodwiu, Liberal, by 3,000 to 5,000 majority, probably. MUsUtlppt Den -Kratlc as Usual. Jackson, Miss., Nov. 4. The election passed off quietly through the State. The indications are that a solid Democratic delegation has been elected. UAILWAY TLS1I5-TA13I-ES. from Inlianapolls Unlaa Stattoa. ennsulvania Lines. last West- South Korta.
