Arkansas.
Little Rock, Ark., Not. 4.-[Special] —
Interest in to-day's election centers chiefly
In the First and Second congressional dis-
tricts, made famous by the unseating of
llreckenridge and Cates. Early returns
point strongly in favor of the election of
Isom P. Langley, Breckenridge's opponent
In the Second, and to the defeat of W. II.
Cate in the First by Featherstone, union
labor candidate. The opponent of Cate ,n
the First is running strong in the counties
of St. Francis, Crittenden and Chicot. In
the Sccond district Langley is being well
supported in Lincoln, Lonoke and Monro*
comities, while Breckenridge will probably
gain In Prairie, White and Cleveland coun-
ties. The Fourth district will probably be
carried by W. L. Terry, democrat. T. C.
McRae in the Third, aud Sam W. Peel in
the Fifth, democrats, are sure to be elected,
because they have no opponents.
Fort Smith, Ark., Nov. 4,—Five town-
ships out of twoaty hoard from give Terry,
democrat, 886 majority. Ue also carries
Scott county, adjoining tl,is, by a largo ma-
jority. Harrison, republican, receiwtf 6nly
222 votes in this city, his home.
California.
San Francisco, Cal,, Nov. 4. -The repub-
lican state coirmittea claim to day that
Loud, ropublican candidate for congress in
the Fiftn district, will be elected over
Clunie, D. In the Fourth district the con«
test is really between Cutting, R„ and Fer-
ral, D., the reform democratic candidate,
Caton, having failed to show strength.
Colorado.
Denver, Colo., Nov. 4. —The polls closed
ot 7 o'clock, and up to 8 o'clock not a sin-
gle precinct had sent lu their returns.
At tho democratic headquarters everyone
is jubilant and Chairman Arbuckle claims
the election of the entire ticket bv
5000, on the basis that 50 per cent of
thq registered votes has been cast. Chair-
man Ashley of tho republican committee,
while admitting that the state treasurer,
attorney general and superintendent of
nubile instruction are doubtful, he is satis-
fied that they will elect the remainder of
the ticket: including the legislature.
Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 4.—No opposition to
speak of to the democratic nominees for
congress except in the Fifth, Sevonth and
Ninth districts. Indications are that l'el-
ton, Ind. D., carries the Seventh and
Haight, H., the Fifth.
Iowa.
Dirs Moines, Iowa, Nov. 4.—The weather
in Iowa has been perfect to-day, but the in-
dications are that a light vote has been
polled, which will lesson relatively the re-
publican strength. Most of tho poll-
ing places will not close till 7 p. m.
and many not till 9. The counting will not
begin till the polls close, and the returns
will be late coming in owing to a great
amount of scratching which seoms to have
been done. It Is doubtfui if any intelligent
^atement oi the result can be made to-
night.
Illinois.
Chicago, III., Nov. 4.—Chairman Jones,
of the republican state central committee,
claims that all of the republican congress-
men in the state have been re-elected, and
that in the Sixteenth (Morrison's) district,
Lindley, republican, and the Farmers' alli-
ance will be elected ovcrForman, democrat,
the present incumbent.
The first result of the election to ba
known for certainty was the success of the
proposition to increase the backing of the
world's fair to $10,500,000. The vote of the
city was practically unanimous in favor of
adding to the fund already guaranteed,
$5,000,000 bv the issue of city bonds, and by
means of "Siuth Park bonds to $500,000
more. Director General Davis said to-
night that tho work on the fair would now
go forward with a rush.
Chicago, II!., Nov. 4. Eight precincts in
this citv e'.ve Gilbert, 1?., for sheriff 943,
Lawler, ~D„ 1445. The precincts come from
six wards.
Indiana.
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 4.—To-day was
a perfect one for voting. Throughout the
entire state the day was clear and crisp and
in the cities aud towns was generally ob-
served as a legal holiday. The prominent
feature of interest was the working of the
new Australian system, the curiosity as to
its operation serving to bring out a large
vote which otherwise save symptoms of be-
ins apathetic. Jn this city there was a
heavy vote early. Stringent provisions of
the now law prevented any considerablo
crowds gathering near the polls, and the
natural result was that no rows wero im-
ported in auy quarter, and there were but
few arrests foi* illegal voting.
Soma coilf u.-.ion was caused by complica-
tions in the manner of preparing tickets
and some will probably bo thrown om. 'a
nearly every precinct, but taking it as a
whole the new system worked satisfactorily.
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 4.—Returns
from tbe Thirteenth congressional district
to tbe Sentinel indicate the re-election of
Congressman Shtvely, democrat, by 1500 to
3U00 majority.
counted jcst one.
President Harrison and Attorney General
Miller arrived here at 10 o'clock. The
president visited tbe polls with several
friends about noon. He shook hands with
bis friends and then entered tha polling
room. He was less than a moment in tbe
polling booth. Upon bis exit a democratic
acquaintance remarked: "It is plain Ben
here." To which the president responded
with a smile: "Yea, and bis vote just counts
one."
Kansas.
Kansas City, Mo., Not, 4.—Returns
from nineteen counties in Kansas have been
received by tbe Associated Press. Of these
eight have gone republican, six democratic
and five for the alliance.
Louisiana.
New Orleans, Nov. 4,—Three precincts
In the First congressional district give
Mayer, D.. 888, Warmoth, R., 167. At the
last election tbe vote stood: Democrats 382,
.-epubltcans 156; a net republican gain of
five votes.
Maryland.
Baltimore, Md„ Nov. 4.—McKarg, dem-
ocrat, Is probably elected in tbe Sixth con-
gressional district. He leads McComas in
his own (McComas') county by 100 ma-
jority. Returns so far from the Fifth diss
trlct show largegslns for Barnes Compton
over Mudd, republican. There Is a solid
democratic congressional delegation.
Massachusetts.
Boston. Mass.. Nov. 4.—One hundred and
eighly-nino out of 205 precincts in this city
give Rassell 30,160, Brackett 18,330, Black*
mer 1345. Russell's plurality, 11,860. Rus-
ssll's plurality in the whole city last year
was 8154.
Boston, Mass., Nov. 4.—Twentysflve
towus give Blackmer, P, 34S, Brackett, R,
3480, Russell, D, 2427. The same towns last
year gave Blackmer 452, Brackett 3143, Rus-
sell 2143; Brackett's net gain 53.
Boston, Mass., Nov. 4.—One hundred ai.d
flfty-throo precincts out of 205 in Boston
five Blackmer, P, 1104; ^Brackett, R, 14,474;
:ussell, D, 24.111. Democrats claim ama<
jorlty for Russell in Boston of 12,000.
Slxtystwo towns In Massachusetts give
Blackmer, P, 1299, Brackett, R, 11,158, Rus-
sell, D, 9361. The aame towns last year
gave Blackmer 1495, Brackett 10,35$, Rus-
sell 7885, a net gain for Russoll of 679. If
this gain continues Russell is olected.
Boston, Mass., Nov. 4. — Seventy-five
towns of Massachusetts and 300- ont of 205
precincts of Boston gave Governor Blacks
mer (prohibition) 3285, Brackett (republi-
can) 33,862, Russell (democrat) 44,250. Rus-
sell's plurality is 10,388. If Rus-
sell continues to gain on Brackett In
the state outaide of Boston as he 6as so
far and all indications at this hour point
tbat way he Is elected governor by at least
5000 plurality. The democrats have gained
two congressmen at least.
Minnesota.
St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 4.—A cool, el oat
day usually means a full vote and tbe In-
terest in the state election added to the size
of the vote in Minnesota. The result will
undoubtedly be late, for besides the fact
that the alliance vote prevents any uccurate
estimates as to the probable pluralities,
that vote will come largely from the
more distant country districts, and noth-
ing certain wiJ 1 be known early in the night.
The vote for congressman may bo known
early lu the night, however. A very full
vote has been polled, aud with few excep-
tions everything passed off quietly.
Missouri.
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 4. Eleven precincts
in the Ninth congressional district give
Cobb, D., 1825, Prosser, R.,978. Indications
are at this writing (9.30 p. ra.) that the dem-
ocratic city ticket is elected with the excep-
tion of Norviile, judgo of the criminal
court, and Smith for recorder of deeds. The
counting of tbe new style of ballots is pro
gressing very slowly, and it will be late be.-
fore the result in the city can he given.
Kansas Citv, Mo., Nov. 4.—Nearly full-
returns from this (Jackson) county have
been received. They show a majority for
the democratic ticket. J. C. Tarsney, D,
candidate for congress, ran &head of his
ticket. Advices from other points in the
district indicate the election of Tarsney
over Twitchell, R. The republican com-
mittee concedes Mr. Tarsney's election by
over 3000 majority.
Advices from many points in Kansas
based on Indications at 6 p. m. point
to a heavier Farmers' alliance vote
than was anticipated. They claim
125,000 votes for the staso ticket. The re-
publicans concede the fact that the
Farmers' alliance made heavy inroads into
their ranks and claim only 125,000 plurality
for their state ticket. Tbe democrats think
Willit, the Farmers' alliance candidate,
may be elected for governor. Many demo-
crats voted for Willit and Farmers' alli-
ance congressmen in return for alliance
votes for democratic congressmen where
no alliance candidates were in tbe field.
The Farmers' alliance claim three congress-
men and the democrats two. The re-elec-
tion of Funston (republican) and Kelly (re-
publican) Is conceded.
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 4.—Complete re-
turns from the Twenty-first ward, Ninth
congressional district, this city, cive Cobb,
D, 1001 and Prosser, R, C62. The city ticket
runs about the same way, except for one or
two of the candidates. The Stventeenth
ward gives Cobb, D, 192 majority over
Prosser.
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 4.—The Thirteenth
ward, Tenth congressional district,
gives Byrnes. D., 133 majority over
Kiusey, R. This is Kinsey's ward
and gave him 236 majority in 18«8. Com-
plete returns from the Fourth ward. Eighth
congressional district, this city, gives
O'Neill, D, 2133 majority over Joy, R. The
democratic city ticket follows O'Neill
closely.
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 4.—Th* returns
from the Third Missouri congressional dis-
trict, just across the river from here, indi-
cate certain re-eloction of A. M. Dockering
democrat) over W. J. Gibson

labor. Returns from the Eleventh Mis-
souri congressional district shows tho cer- ;
tain re-election of Richard P. Bland, D, '
over J. L. Jervln, R. Mr. Bland's majority
is a trifle over 3000.

When the hour for closing tho polls,
4 O'clock, came there wero still in line at
many of the polling places a number of
voters. According to instructions given by
tho police commissioners those wno were
then actually in line waiting to vote were
permitted to do so, but no others were
allowed to go In line. From estimates
made between tbe number of vote- cast in
the several election districts and the num-
ber of names oi the registry list, it is
thought the total vote polled will be about
228,i.'Ui). The total number registered was
945.104.
Four hundred ont of 947 election districts
for mayor give Grant (Tammany) 8306 ma-
jority over Scott (fusion.)

re elected to congress from the Nineteenth
district by over 2000 majority.
New YcJBK, Nov. 1—Tammany hall has
gained a decisive victory all along the line
over the republican and democracy fusion.
Grant for mayor is not likely to
fall below 22,000 majority over the Scott
vote. For district attorney in which lt was
expected that Nlcoll, the Tammany nomi-
nee, would fall much behind the vote for
Grant will show that he has a majority of
nearly 21,000 over Goflf, the fusion candi-
date. All tbe Tammany candidates for tbe
county offices ore, namely: Sheriff, dlst.-ict
at' rney, proaont board oi aldermen, having
®'5t>}a!e majorities of 20,000. Th-< vote for
t'jparToi' court Judge and for city court
judges shows tbe same majority in favor of
Tammany candidates in the city, over 200,000
votes having beeu cast out of registration
of 245,000. The county offices results, there-
fore are the following; Grant, mayor; Gor-
man, sheriff; Meyers, connty clerk; Arnold,
president of the board of aldermen, and G.
C. Crich county judge. The demo-
crats carried every congressional dis-
trict in the city, with the following
results: Sixth district, John R. Fellows;
Seventh district, J. C. Dunphy; Eighth dis-
trict, T. J. Campbell (re-ol^ctod;; Ninth dis-
trict, Amos J. Cunimings. Grant's ap-
parent majority is about 23,500.
Brooklyn, N. Y., Nov. 4—The Fourth
congressisnal district, eighty election dis-
tricts out of a total of 144, gave Clancy, D,
'J968; Perry, R, 4897; Marian, P, 144. The
Second congressional district, sixty elec-
tion districts, out of a total of 179, gives
Hoody; D, 6489; Gresham, R, 4009; Jones, P,
123.
Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 4.—Tho Union
and Advertiser claims the election of Groeu-
leaf, democrat.

and fourteen districts in Allegheny county

11,351, Pattison 11,270, a democratic gain of
1(377. This includes all but thirty-one dis-
tricts in the city of Pittsburg.
Ohio.
Alliance, O.. Nov. 4. The election here
lias been hotly contested, and the total vote
polled in the six wards of thccity will reach
.000, The indications aro that McKinley
has made heavy cains. Stark county will
likely give him a majority. That ho will
be elected the republicans have only hopes.
Cincinnati, O., Nov. 4.—Storer, republi-
can candidate tor congress for tho First
district, is 937 votes ahead of Cosgrove, his
democratic opponent, in this district.
Storer is running ahead of his ticket.
Cincinnti, O., Nov. 4.—Eleven of the
precincts in Hamilton county givo Ryan a
majority of 5379, liein, R., for sheriff 4187.
Sterer claims that his majority will be 1200.
Cincinnati, 0.,Nov. 4.—It is now claimed
tbat Storer Is elected In tho First district
over Cosgrove. Caldwell, republican in the
Second district, is elected by a heavy ma»
jorlty.
Cleveland, O., Nov. 4.—Indications now

i ounty ticket, except perhaps the candidate
for sheriff is elected.
Cincinnati, O., Nov. 4.—Reports from

512. " he same in 1889 gave Foraker 17,319,

South Carolina.
Columbia, S. C., Nov. 4. The indications
so far are that Tillman and his entire ticket
are elected, and the democratic congress-
men by the smallest vote ever cast in the
state.
Columbia, S. C-, Nov. 4. —No disturbance
in the state so far as beard from. Returns
coming in rapidly iadicato Tillman's elec-
tion r.ad the state offi:3rs. All tho demo-
cratic congressmen aro elected, with the
possible exception of tbe Seventh district.
South I>akota.
St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 4.—To-day tbe
election throughout South Dakota has been
very exciting and a (ttU vote bos been
polled. Besides tbe excit«ment on tbe slate
and congressional tickets, a bitter fight for
a permanent capitol bus brought out every
vote possible. Last fall at tbe first state
election the total vot« was over 77.0UU and
that will b« found to have been exceeded
when all tbe returns are in to-nlgbt. Tbe
uncertainty of the alliance vote makes an
early estimate unreliable. Tbe returns will
be compared with the state of Isst year so
far as the alliance vote will allow lt.
Tennennee.
NAeaviLLE, Tenn., Nov. 4.—Returns from
eleven wards and districts in this connty
give for governor: Buchanan, D., 816; Bax-
ter. It., 134; Kelly, Pro., 323. The indica-
tions point to Buchanan's carrying the
