Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 3.—At ten o'clock the returns from this state indicated the election of the Republican state ticket. The legislature is still in doubt and owing to the diversity of interests involved, it may not be definitely known until tomorrow what the result is. In this (Marion) county the Republicans have been beaten, except possibly on apart of their legislative ticket. The Congressional delegation will prob ably stand six Republicans and seven Democrats, a Republican gain of three 1 p. m.—The result in Indiana on the state ticket will be close. In 560 precincts heard from the net Republican gain is 4,629. This includes a very small percentage of the vote in the city. The Democrats claim Marion county by 1,200 majority and to .have elected their entire county ticket and the election of Bynum for Congress by from 1,200 to 1,600 majority, 1:15 p. M.—Six hundred precincts give Robertson, 84,625, NelBon 74,237. The same precincts gave Blaine 86,646 and Cleveland 86,509 net R9 publicau gain, 5,151,

M. Browne in the Sixth James T. Johnston in the Eighth Joseph ti. Cheadie in the Ninth, gain William D. Owen in the Tenth Geo. "W. Steele in the Eleventh and James B. White in the Twelfth.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 4.—It will take the official count today to decide the standing of the legislature. The Democrats claim it by two majority and the Republicans by six. The News this afternoon, publishes a list, not official, giving the Republicans two majority. There is no change in the congressional delegation. Holman's majority is about seven hundred.

Illinois.

CHICAGO, November 3.—A. J. Jones, chairman of the Republican state central committee, estimates that the senate will be compose! of thirty Repub licans, eighteen Democrats and three Labor party men. He estimates that the house will have a working majority.

The Republican pluraltv in Illinois for state treasurer, the head of the ticket, is ectimated at from 23,000 to 27,000. The result on the congressional ticket up to this evening was still a matter of doubt in the Second, Thirteenth and Sixteenth districts. In the Seownd the contest between Lawlor, Demoorat, and Gleason is very close. One computation of the unofficial returns elects Gleason by 18 votes while Lawlor olaims the district by 62 votes. The Republicans claim that Gist, Republican, has defeated Neece, Democrat, in the Eleventh district, by 400, and also assert that General Post, Republican, has defeated Worthincton in the Tenth.

Both the Republicans and Democrats claim the election in the Thirteenth

(Springer's) district. The vote in the Sixteenth is very nloee. Tiie Republi-, cans have gaiued a congressman in the, lowers." Third district, Williom E. Mason, and NEW YOBK, Nov. 4 one in the Eighteenth, Jehu Bailer. The Tenth, Eleventh, Thirteenth and Sixteenth are at present represented by Democrats, and if the Republicans

claims to oarrying three of them should be verified, the net Republican gain in the state would be five congressmen, and if Gleason's claim to the election in tke Seoond is verified, the Democrats would lose six districts in all.

CHICAGO, November 3.—Complete returns shorn the next Illinois legislature will stand as follows: Senate—Republicans, 32 Democrats, 18 United Labor, 1, House—Republicans, 78 Democrats, 62 United Labor, 7, Prohibitionists, 2.

CHICAGO, NOV. 3.—The official returns from the Second Congressional district indicate that Lawlor (Dem), has been defeated by Gleasou (labor) by 18 votes.

A special to the News indicates that the fight in Congressman Wortbington's district is very close and that the Republicans claim Poet's election by from 100 to 200.

New York.

NBW YORK, NOV. 3.—When late last night, it was made known at the headquarters of the Centra] Labor Union that Henry George was defeated, the crowd there assembled, gave voice to expressions of disgust. Henry George came into the hall at 11 o'clock and mounting a table, addressed his supporters, saying that he felt prouder than if he held in his hand official returns making him President of the United States. Their devotion to the great cause was shown, and he felt certain that under a fair count of the ballots he 1 would be the next Mayor of New York. "If the official returns do not give me that office," he said, "it is because of the money and intimidation used and of the rum shops of state and national administrations, of an unscrupulous press, the unreasonable fear of the ignorant, rich and the degradation of the miserable poor. What we sought we accomplished fey bringing principle into politics," he went on to say, "and I congratulate vou on the greatest of victories that 'we have won. Thank God we have demonstrated the political power of labor. Never again will the' politicians look upon the labor movement with tempt. You men who have night and day without a

BUFFALO, N. Y., NOV. 3.—Erie county complete gives Daniels (Republican) 5,410 majority.

NEW YORK, NOV. 3.—Tho following is the vote in the First Congressional district: Bdlmont, 16,126 McCormick, 15,289 majority, 837. Peckham, in 1,289 election districts outside of New York and Kings county, receives 158,175 and Daniels 186,340. The same districts last year gave Hill 187,268 and Davenport 207,223.

The latest returns from Kings county give Judge Peckham, Dem., for Court of Appeals, a majority of 10,663. S. V. White, Republican, is elected to Congress in the Third district by a plurality of 143.

ALBANY, N. Y., Nov. 3—The Journal says that the assembly stands: Republicans 77 Democrats 51. It states that 20 Republican Congressmen are elected and li Democrats claiming that Swinburn is re-elected in the Nineteenth district by a small plurality. It concedes Pechkam's election, saying his plurality is under 6,000.

THE TIMES ON THE ELECTION. NEW YOBK, NOV. 4.—The Times in commenting on the result of the congressional election, says: "The solid Republican delegation of Minnesota is broken up and three of its five members are Democrats. The causes of this change are not entirely clear, but they probably have arisen as much from local sentiment as from the feeling on any general issue. As oounter balancing any changes brought about Jfy the action of revenue reformers, (fae Republicans can fairly point to the defeat of Col. Morrison, the tariff reform leader par excellence, in Illinois to the rather narrow escape of Speaker Carlisle in Kentucky, to the election of Guenther in Wisconsin, to the gains of Virginia and to sundry districts in which the Democrats sustained protection as much as their opponent. But the offset is more apparent than real. Col. Morrison has been a very faithful, but not a very successful or skillfull leader for revenue reform, and Mr. Baker, who defeats him now, is not a bigoted protectionist. Mr. Morrison's place as leader can be filled and his successor in that post should have a stronger following and a clearer field thnn Mr. Morrison has enjoyed.

The attitude of the new Congress toward the administration cannot be foretold. The present one, BO far as the majority is concerned, is sulky and grudging. The next will hardly be that. It must be either cordially, friendly or openly hostile. The chances are for hearty support by the more intelligent leaders and acquiescence by the fol-

Yesterday corrections reduced White's majority from 163 to 60. This forenoon Bell (D) leads White (R) 19 votes, with two districts to be heard from.

Missouri.

ST. LOUIS, NOV. 3.—The returns from yesterday's election are still incomplete but enough have been received to show thatth Democratic state ticket is elected. In this city its majority is about 3,000. The officers elected are: Theodore Brace, Judge of the Supreme Court Wm. E. Coleman, Superintendent of Public Schools and John K. Breathitt, Railroad Commissioner. A constitutional amendment having for its object the levying of a special tax of fifteen mills on the dollar for road and street improvement has a majority of about 25,000 against it in the city.

The Democrats captured nearly every office in the city, the only elected Republican being that of Win* A. Hobbs, oandidatefor recorder of deeds. His majority over the Democratic nominee is about 2,000. The contest for sheriff between Mason (Rep.) and Harrington (Dem.) is very olose and official vote will probably be necessary to decide definitely who was elected. Unrevised returns give the Republican candidate a majority of 25.

RALEIGH, N. C., NOV. 3.—Latest returns from the First Congressional district indicate the election of Latham, Democrat. The Second district is still in doubt. In the Fourth, Nichols, Independent kepublican, is elected, and in the Fifth, Brown, Republican. The Republicans and Independents have made large gains in the legislature.

South Carolina.

CHARLESTON, ri. C., Nov. 3.—The Independent tickets are defeated in Chesterfield and Burkely, and Elliott, Democrat, is apparently elected in the Seventh district, giving South Carolina a solid Democratic delegation in the next congress.

Kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, NOV. 3—Returns from the doubtful congressional districts in the state come in slowly, 0%ing to the remoteness of some of the counties. The returns thus far do not change the estimates of last night. The indications are that the Kentucky delegation is sol idly Democratic, though it will be several days before the full figures are in from the third, ninth and eleventh districts.

In this, Louisville, 5th distriot, Willson, Republican, owing to disaffection in the Democratic ranks, carried the city by 258. Caruth, the Democratic nominee, carried the county by 419 majority, which elects the Democratic candidate by 216 votes.

CINCINNATI, NOV. 4.—Nothing definite can be stated in regard to Carlisle's election until the official oouut is completed. This will begin Friday afternoon. A Times-Star special* this morning does not change the outlook, which is considered favorable to Carlisle by a close vote.

TOPKKA, Kan., Nov. 3—The chairman of the Republican State Central committee says: ''Safe estimates based on official returns and other sources from nine counties give Martin for governor 5,150 plurality. Should the balance of the state vote in the same ratio, Martin will have above 35,000 plurality. Returns from the fifth Congressional district indicate a large plarality for John A. Anderson. In the second district Fanston is re-elected, but with decreased majority. In all other Congressional districts the Republicans are eleoted by usual majorities. There will be a Democratic increase in the members of the legislature. In 1884 there were fourteen Democrats on joint ballot.

ST. PAUU$ NOV. 3—The entire Republican state ticket has been elected in Minnesota by 10,000 to 13,000 majority. A. R. McGiH, for governor, is running behind the rtest of the ticket. A. E. Rice, for lieutenant governor, will have about 25,000 majority. In tho first congiesbional district, Judge Wm. Wilson, Demooratf is elected by about 1,200 majority over John A. Lovely, Republican.

MILWAUKEE, November 3.—The Republicans have elected Governor Rusk by not less than 22,000 plurality ovea Woodward, Democrat and it is probable that it will 25,000. The legislature will have a Republican majority on joint ballot of 29 over the Democrats and Labor Republicans. The congressional delegation will probably stand seven Republicans, one Democrat, and one People's party. If Caswell is re-elec*ed in the first the Republican gain one and lose one. The Democrats lose one and the People's party secures one congressman.

Latest estimates place total People party vote in the state at 25,000, of which 13,000 is in this county. The returns tonight assure tho election of Caswell Republican in the first congressional district by 800 majority. 4

In a number of districts the vote is so close that the result cannot be definitely known until the ballots are recounted.

A CARD OF THANES. All through tho campaign the Typo 76tei,s have made themselves conspicuous. Their conspiracy at boycotting tho GAZETTE having failed miserably, to quote the language of their resolutions, they announced that fcfcey were going to ta^e a hand in the political contest, and boasting that they carried the Knights of Labor vote in their vest pockets threatened ruin to everything but the Democratic state ticksh Tho Democratic state ticket feli far short of carrying this county, but nearly all tho county candidates were elected. Here is one of the thing that helped toward this result find the GAZETTE wishes to formally tender thanks. The city was flooded the night before election with dodgers containing this:

NONE OF THE

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES HAYE GIVEN BOND TO WITHw^^Ui^HOLD THEIRl

OFFICIAL PRINTING FROM THE GAZETTE.

The report to that effect is a falsehood started on the eve of the election to defeat us in our object.

W. F. DOBSEY,

Prest. Typographical Union No 76, S. A. CHRISTY, Acting Secretary. These dodgers probably cost the 76ster compositors some money and if they will send a bill for it, properly certified, to the GAZETTE it will be paid.

Last night prominent members of this little band who could not even control their own membership for some of them voted and worked for the straight Democratic ticket, refusing any longer to be made use of, were loud in abuse of the Knights of Labor. One of them said "I am not a Knight of Labor. I am a member of the Typographical Union." The Knights, some of whom were deceived for a time by the falsehoods circulated by the 76s?ers against the GAZETTE,have become a little weary of them and are now loudly abused by them for desertion. This great, big organization, large numbers of whose members are enrolled on the GAZETTE subscription books, will possibly survive the attacks of the 76sters. It is a' revolt of the mouse against the mastodon.

THIS IS THE GTAZETTE'S BOOSTER.
