Overstreet Elected.
The latest returns on congress in this district indicate the election of Overstreet by fully live hundred majority and, perhaps, over a thousand. The republican counties will roll up immense majorities,

early in the morning. There was no respecting of persons. The i banker jostled up against the bootblack and looked pleasant, and the minister touched elbow with the rounder. Everybody was happy and even body showed it. The whoops going out and up rang to heaven, and returning, sent terror to the handful of democrats that assembled under the electric light's glare in the court house. At that point Messrs. Denman. Randcl, Ader and a few of the faithful were gathered and were getting from the Western Union wires tlie same messages as republicans were getting. But the different reception these dispatches got ! At republican headquarters they were received with open arms, shouts of approval, lings, tears of joy and kisses. Such enthusiasm was never before seen here, and the stamp of disapproval of democracy was oif everything
movable and unmovable.
Immediately after the first few bulletins, they were all good; the republican gang could not hold it • elf in, so great was its joy. They ' formed a procession, marched around the court house square, and then went right through the justice temple itself. They shook the walls with joy and shook the democrats huddled there to a realization that the crack of their political

The reporters of the Banner Times have had everything to contend with in getting returns and they are so meagre that they are unreliable unless they bear the official signatures.

The county is still very close, at the time the Banner Times goes to press today tlie result is si ill in doubt. The northern townships will in all probability arrive on the Monon train and settle the mitter. Some democrats claim the election of their ticket bv from 50 to 100 plurality, while others concede that the republicans have carried the big end of it. The rcpuhiicans ore encouraged and confident they have won.

came the cheering news that New York had gone republican by one hundred thousand and such minor little pleasantries as Ohio 80,000, Illinois 60,000 and that Chairman Wilson’s defeat was assured. The great interest centered on Putnam county, the judicial and
