Senate— Republicans 34 Democrats 1® Republican majority 18 House— Republicans 68 Democrats 32 Republican majority 36 Republican majority on joint I ballot 54 Washington, Nov. 9.—The re- ! publican majority of 32 in the 158th congress will tie largely ini creased as the resu It of yesterday s election, and it is now predicted that President, Roosevelt's support in the lower branch of congress may reach 220 out of 382, instead of 207, which was the number in the last congress. — Washington, Nov. B.—President Roosevelt has issued a formal statement in which he announces he will not be a candidate for another term. New York. Nov. B.—New York went for Roosevelt by not less than 250,000 plurality. The much touted majority of 150,000 in New York : city, which Tammany had promised to Parker and Herrick did not materialize, and the democratic I candidates went into the state with only a margin of 50,000. Roosevelt’s plurality in the up state districts has been not less than 300,000, completely wiping out the

democratic plurality in the city and leaving a net plurality of 250,000 votes. Boston, Mass., Nov. B.—W. L. Douglass, democratic candidate for governor of Massachusetts, has been elected by 20,000, though the state went 70,000 for Roosevelt. Douglass is the famous shoe man, and is more convinced than ever that advertising pays. Bluffton, Ind., Nov., 9.—Wells county gives Parker 600 majority and the entire democratic ticket is elected bv majority of from 137 to 500. Lipkev, democratic candidate for sheriff, and who it was feared early this morning had been defeated, won out by 137. The republicans elected four out of the nine township trustees. Portland, Ind., Nov. 9.—Jay ccnnty gave Roosevelt 500 major ity. The entire republican countyticket was elected, John LaFollette defeating John M. Smith for judge 'by nearly 80. Cromer ran behind the ticket considerable. TOWNSHIP ELECTIONS. In Washington township the official canvass of the vote shows that Henry Hite defeated Caleb Andrews for trustee by three votes, the result being 712 to 709. However, there are about forty contested ballots that may yet give the office to Andrews when some are decided. Blackburn, candidate for township assessor, was elected without opposition. From reports at hand at three o’clock the republicans have elected trustees in Wabash, Kirk-

land, St. Mary’s and Blue Creek townships, the others being democr its. Several republican assessors have been elected. Tyndall looks safe. Fort Wayne, Nov. 9.-(Special, 2 p . m .)—Roosevelt has carried this county, but by a small majority, it is no .v believed by less than 2ao. though it may reach 500. Two democratic representatives have apparently been elected by small majorities. John W. Tyndall has lost the county by from 200 to 500, but held his own well with the rest of the county ticket Robison is defeated. According to the above message Mr. Tyndall has been elected joint senator by from 500 to 1,000, though for a time this morning it looked as though he had joined the throng of losers in the big landslide. At ten o’clock last night it was conceded that the republicans lead was a victory —the greatest landslide in the history of the country. At that hour Alton B. Parker, the democratic nominee sent the following message: Esopcs, N. Y., Nov. 8. President Roosevelt: The people by their votes have emphatically approved your administration and I congratulate you. Alton B. Parker. To this the president replied as follows: Judge Parker, Esopus: “I thank you for your congratulations.” Theodore Roosevelt. Before eight o’clock all leading democratic newspapers had conceded that Roosevelt had carried every doubtful state. There are but fewgreen spots, In Massachusetts, Doug-

lass, a democratic governor, was elected, though the state gave Roosevelt a majority of IOC,OOO. It is possible democratic governors were elected in other places. Roosevelts, victory is greater than McKinley’s. The fol lowing table shows how it happened, as near as could be ascertained at thiee o’clock: At 9:30, Chairman Cortelyou, of the republican national committee, issued the following statement: "The indications are that the country has given an overwhelming vote of confidence in the president and his administrative policy.” FOR ROOSEVELT.

At three o’clock this afternoon tweny-four precincts in the county gave Parker 779 majority, twenty, twojprecincts gaveTynall who leads the tickets, 1,01 majority. The other precincts there being thirt y. one in all, it is estimate will swell Parker’s majority to 1,150 and Tyndall’s to 1,375. COUNTY RETURNS SLOW. It has been almost an' impossible task to secure the complete returns, and our tabualted statement is therefore incomplete. It will be given correctly, tomorrow evening. MISSOURI STILL IN DOUBT. St. Louis, Nov., B.—The result on the national ticket is in doubt. Republicans claim to have carried the state for Roosevelt by 20,000, while the democratic state committee declares that the democrats have carried both the state and national tickets by 35,000 and give Folk 50,000 plurality.
