Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan

and Other States Go Heavily Republican.

The result of the election on Tuesday is a landslide fur the republicans, who claim from the returns a good working* majority in congress, having1 elected 21 members of th lower house. Levi 3*. Morion has deb-ated Senator David B. Mill for governor of New York, his plurality being' estimated at 145.000. Congressman Wilson, author of the original Wilson tariff law, has probably been defeated for reelection in West Virginia by a small majority. Gov. Waite. the populist executive of Colorado, has also been defeated his republican rival. W. C. Owen*: who defeated Col. Rreekinridife for the democratic congressional nomination in the Seventh Kentucky district, was knifed by the friends of Rreckinridge, and a republican was elected. Illinois gives 70,000 republican majority for the state ticket Indiana, 25,000 Ohio, 125,000—the largest ever given Michigan, 50,000 Wisconsin, 85.000 Iowa, 75,000.

The New York estimate does not include Brooklyn. The total claimed by S. the chairman of

the republicans is Senator Faulkner, the democratic congressional committee, made the following statement at midnight: "If the reports of the Associated Press are correct it will be impossible fur the democrats to organize the house. The republicans are claiming everything, but I pay very little attention to their claims. We ex pee to receive telegrams from every democratic candidate for congress and then will have something detinue on which to base an estimate."

Senator Faulkner declined to express an opinion of the cause winch brought about increased republican majorities.

Returns by the Associated Press show a congressional gain for the republicans of 50. The gains are distributed as follows:

West Virginia. 3 New York. I": Massachusetts, 4: Maryland. 8 Kentucky. Pennsyl vunin.ft Illinois, ft: New Jersey. 8 Connecticut, 3 Kausas. 1 Ohio, 0 Indiana. 1 North Carolina. 1 Rhode Island, 2: Michigan. 8 Col onulo, 1 Wisconsin, 1 total, 5(1.

1 ah*!svii.IjK, Kv., Nov. 7.—From returns received the republicans claim the election of three congressmen in Kentucky, the indications being that they have carried the Fifth. Seventh ami Eleventh districts. The democrats elect three and possibly four judges of the court of appeals. In the Lexington district the bitterness caused by the Itrcekinridge campaign told heavily against Owens, the democratic candidate for congress.

LKXINOTON. Kv.. Nov. 7. The Leader makes the claim that Ienny. the republican candidate for congress in the Seventh district, is elected. It is asserted that Rreckinridge's friends have supported Denny, bringing about his success. Advices from various parts of the state show heavy republican gains, and Evans (rep.), of Louisville, may be elected.

Tomiettfleo

NASIIVII.I.F Term., Nov. 7. At midnight tlie contest for governor looks very close, both the democrats and republicans claiming the victory. It is the closest race ever seen in the state ami the official count will be necessary to determine the result. Chairman Carroll, of the democratic Btate executive committee, claims tiov. Tiirney's election by ft.UOii plurality. Chairman Sanders, of the republican executive committc, at midnight telegraphed Kvans at Chattanooga that he was elected, together with Gibson In the First congressional district, llrawn in the Third and Mel'all in the Eighth—all republicans. The democrats claim the election of Knloe in the Kighth bv a small majority.

I.ouUtanu.

New Olti.KANB, Nov. 7.— Louisiana has returned a full democratic delegation to congress, despite the bolt of the sugar planters in t.he tirst three districts. The election was remarkably (juiet. The republicans are preparing a contest on grounds of frauds in the Second and Third districts.

WASHINGTON, NOT. 7.—The republican congressional committee has received a telegram from the secretary

the state republican oommittee ut New Orleans saying the republicans have carried the Second and Third districts of Louisiana and will probably gel the Kirst distrlot also. (leorglH.

ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 7.—Georgia will send a solid democralio delegation to congress. All of the doubtful districts have gone into the democratic column. The closest contest seems to be in the Ninth district where Carter Tale, democrat, will have about 1,000 majority. The democrats have rolled up over 12,000 majority in the city of Augusta and the majority against Watson (pop.). Is therefore about 8.Odd.

South Carolina.

CHAHI.ESTON, S. C., Nov. 7.—Pretty full returns indicate the election of seven democratic congressmen and the regular democratic state ticket beaded by John Gary Evans for governor, who defeats Sampson I'ope (Ind.) his only opponent. lleturns for the legislature indicate a safe majority for Tillman for United States senator. The call for a constitutional convention is apparently defeated by a small majority. The election was quiet throughout the state.

AF'Kso.v, Miss., Nov. 7.-Returns from all congressional districts in the state indicate the election of the seven democratic congressmen by safe majorities. There was a populist nominee In every district and in four districts prohibitionists had nominees. In the other three the prohibitionists endorsed the populists. the prohibitionists cut no figure. In the Fourth and Sixth districts Jamison ami Money (pops. I made a good run, but both are unquestionably defeated.

ST. LOUIS, NOV. 7.—State democratic headquarters at the Leland hotel were closed at 10 o'clock Tuesday night, and the committeemen were slow to give information concerning the state returns. Judge Black is reelected to the state supreme bench. Returns in this city show the election of a majority of the democratic city and legislative ticket. From all indications the issouri congressional delegation will stand: Democrats, 12 republicans, a —a gain of one for the latter.

South Dakota.

PiKKiiE, S. I)., Nov 7.—Returns are coming from all over the state, which, though meager, indicate that the state republican ticket, including two congressmen at large, is elected by not less than 1J,000 plurality. Returns from legislative districts are not in except from cities and towns, but there are good indications that the legislature will be safely two-thirds republican.

ConniM'ticut.

NKW MAVKN, Conn., Nov. 7.—Returns indicate that the entire republican ticket will be elected by a good majority. The election of Spcer to congress in the Second district and the election ot Hill (rep.) in the Fourth district are certain.

NKW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 7. Return* from seventy towns out of lt'»s in the state, including the cities of Danhnry and Meriden, show a republican gain of rt.2114 over the vote of isoj. (!olornl.

DKNVKK. Col., Nov. 7.—The indications are tliat Mclntire (rep.), for governor will have 15,000 to 20,000 majority over Waite (pop.). The Times-Sun claims the republican majority in this (Arapahoe) county will ho 20,000 and that the remainder of the state will give a republican majority of 5.000. Waite has run behind his ticket many thousands, and has undoubtedly carried the entire ticket down to defeat with him. If the republicans have 20.000 majority on the head of the state ticket they will undoubtedly control the legislature ami reelect Senator Woleott. Fence (pop), is beaten by Sha froth (rep.) congress iu the Firstdistrict. Bell (nop.) may defeat Bowon in the Second district, but his majority of 12,000 two years ago will be greatly red uced.

Dispatches from all parts of the state say a very full vote was polled, and in the cities fully as many women voted as men. Women worked earnestly et the polls all day for the success of .he republican ticket a ml the result is largely due to their efTorts.

Kama*.

r'.i'KKA, Kan., Nov. 7.—Chairman Lclaud, of the republican state central committee, at o'clock said that the election of the entire republican state ticket is assured by a majority of from 85,000 to 40,000. He claims the election of seven of the eight republican candidates for congress as absolutely certain, and the prospects good for the election of the others. The legislature is now considered safely republican, which will probably insure the election of Calvin Hood, business partner of the late Senator IMumh. to the I'nited States senate. Republicansclaim thedefeatof Congressman Jerry Simpson in the Seventh congressional district by 2,000 votes.

ALHA.N\. N. V., NOV. 7. Ha. m.- Morton's plurality in the state is H.V43.\ Saxton over l.ockwood, IH4.170: Haiglit over Krown, l!Jl.7'W. The total vote for the two leading candidates is considerably in excess of that polled for lower and Fassett for governor iu 1WM, in addition to which are the votes east this year fur Wheeler (ind. dem. which will exceed 20,000.

The tremendous republican sweep in the city and state, it is estimated, has elected twenty-three republican congressmen. a gain of eight over the present representation-in congress.

From pluralities ranging from 85,000 to 12.\ooo in the district below the Harlem for the democratic party the republican party turns the city vote into 20,0il() plurality for its state candidates.

The sweep also means that for the first lime in many years the republicans wiii have coutrol of the state legislature and at the same time have a governor in the chair in political harmony with them.

The results of the sweeping victory are more far-reaching than the election of the republican state ticket. While the returns are. very incomplete on the election amendments, it is highly probable, according to the first returns, that all of them arc adopted.

Ihe pi'reentage of loss, as compared with the vote for the head of the ticket, is i.ol r.early so large as it was supposed to be, and the result, therefore, N that the legislature will consist of .'o senators and 150 assemblymen that pool selling on races will be prohibited, and that a new judiciary system will be inaugurated.

WiiKKLiNii. W. Ya„ Nov. 7.—'The result in West Virginia is as much a surprise to the republicans as to the democra ts. The la ndsl ide seems to have readied every distriet.wit.il theposiible exception of the Third, which is still claimed by the democrats. In the First district hairman Delaplain, of the democratic commit tec, concedes the election of H. B. Dovenor (rep.) by 2..M'0. The republicans claim it will be nearer 4,000. Two years ago the democrats had 20* majority. This county alone gives 1,500 republican plurality, against 7? democratic plurality two years ago.

In the Second district the returns are coming in very slowly and what the result will be cannot be known for twenty-four hour*). Mr. Wilson •tiem.) is undoubtedly defeated, but lie indications are that the majority against him will be small. Dayton (rep.), has made gains at all points heard from, but these are all on the railroads, and this was expected. The urains arc larger, however, than the republicans had counted on to give

Iu in the district by sou. In the Third the democrats confidently claim the election of John I). Alderson. but. then

are few figures as

vet on which to base an estimate. If Alderson is elected it will be bv a greatly reduced majority, not over 5oo. In the Fourth the vote Is close, lint the repnbheansare sure they have won. and the figures at hand bear out that belief. The majority will not be wry large, however, as the deinoerats had 1,050 to start with two years ago. The legislature Is democratic, the state being so districted that a popular republican plurality' of 20*000 would be necessary to give the rcpubl ieans control.

Illinois.

CHICAOO, Nov. 7.- Illinois has gone republican by an overwhelming majority on the state ticket, estimated by chairman Tanner at 70,000. The republicans have also probably elected sixteen of the twen-ty-two congressmen and a majority of both branches of the general assembly. 'I hey have certainly secured a majority on joint, ballot in the general assembly and will elect the successor to Senator Cnllom. Republicans estimate their majority in Cook county at 15.000, electing the entire ticket. The following congressmen are elected:

Sr. PAI I., Minn., Nov. 7.—Scattering returns from forty of the eighty counties of Minnesota indicate that Gov. Nelson is reelected, but it appears that his plurality will be a very small one, probably less than r00. The returns so far received show a remarkable slump of the vote to Owen, the populist candidate for governor. Two.thirds of this has come from the democratic party, and the democratic candidate for governor has received scarcely 00,000 votes in a total of 205, 000. Figures on congressmen indicate pretty clearly the election of five republicans and three democratic congressmen.

Figures at hand point to the election of a fusion senate, but the repubiicaus seem to have a majority in the house sufficiently large to give them a aafe lead on joint ballot. Of the state ticket, the populists aud democrats have elected Willis associate justice of the supreme court, and the democrats seem to have chosen Uierman auditor. The republicans elect lieutenant governor, secretary of state, treasurer, attorney general, chief justice of the supreme court and clerk .of. the supreme court.
