The most surprising news comes from Pennsylvania.

The democrats there also gained two congressmen and possibly four. The latest from Ohio is that McKin'ey has been defeated. He made a strong fight and Warwick's majority will be small. The district was considered safe . for 2000 democratic majority when it was carved out for McKinley, but he - has reduced it to less than one-fourth that figure.

The return of Ingalls o the United States senate is, however, still considered safe. Tho New York World (democrat) estimates that the democrats will have a majority of between 63 and 97 in the next house. i , The New York Mail and Express (republican) (re-publican) conceeds the democrats a majority of at least 50 in the next congress. con-gress.

Itetnras Through Illinois Complicated by Mach Scratching. 1 Chicago, Nov. 5. Never in the history his-tory of Illinois have the election returns throughout the state been so complicated compli-cated by scratching or local issues. The returns are still very meagre. The latest indications for Cook county are that Lawler for sheriff, may have a small majority- The republican state central committee claim that Taylor, Adams and Mason in First Third and Fourth congressional districts are elected; elect-ed; also that Cannon, in the Fifteenth. Amberg, republican candidate for state treasurer, is probably elected by 7000. SOME CLOSE ESTIMATES. , . Chicago, Nov. 5. Estimates returns re-turns of sixty-four of the one hundred and two counties in Illinois, including Coan, gives Amberg (republican) 12,582 plurality for state treasurer; Edwards (republican) 8984 for state superintendent of public instruction. instruc-tion. The same counties two years ago gave Harrison 14.085 over Cleveland. Should the same ratio continue con-tinue Amberg will be elected by 14,000; Edwards, by 10,000. As the returns re-turns have been mostly from Chicago and Northern Iliiuois republican strongho'd and both democratic demo-cratic state candidates are from southern south-ern Illinois the present republican plurality will probably be radically decreased de-creased by later returns. Both state central committees claim the state. In the forty-eighth .congressional .con-gressional district, Newberry (democrat) (demo-crat) is elected over Congressman Adams. In the first, Taylor (republican) (republi-can) is re-elected. THE LEGISLATURE IS SAFE. - Chicago, Nov. 5. The republican state central committee claim the leg'-s-lature by six to ten on a joint ballot, BLUE FOR M'KINLEY. " -. The Election of Warwick Mow Claimed, but the Major May Full Through.

Chairman Smyzer concedes Wayne county to Warwick bv 400. These figures would defeat McKinley by sixty-nine. Tho democrats claim Warwick is elected by 300. , FARMERS ALLIANCE VICTOBIOUS. They Sweep Ererythlng; Before Them ta Kansas Ingalle I Still Safe. Kansas City, Nov. 5. News from Kansas indicates that the farmers alliance has secured a victory in the state. An official count will be necessary neces-sary to decide whether Willetts, itscan-didate itscan-didate for governor, or Humphrey, republican, re-publican, has been elected. The indications indi-cations are in Willetts favor with most western counties where the farmers are in the majority to be heard from. The farmers alliance elected beyond be-yond doubt, Baker, its candidate for congress in the Fifth district, contributed con-tributed to the election of Moonlight (dera.) in the First, and seems reasonably reason-ably sure of electing Simpson in the Seventh district. The Fifth district is conceded to be very close between Davis (farmers' alliance) and Phillipps, (rep.). The republicans elected Fuston in the Second. The Third and Fourth are in doubt between farmers' alliance and republicans. The returns strongly indicate the election of Ives (farmer's alliance) for state attorney. The democrat dem-ocrat and re-submission vote has been very heavy, but not so large as anticipated. antici-pated. Robinson (dem.). for governor, was scratched for Wi lets, and the farmers' alliance voted or the democrats demo-crats and on county officers. The farmers' alliances were have s strong delegation in toe state legislature. The republicans claim only wenty-six on joint ballot. Ingalls re-election not believed be-lieved to be jeopardized. r |
