At least live of the Republicans may be elected out of twelve on the general county ticket.

Some contests will not be settled until the country town figures are reported. With Probate Judge Henry Horner leading the Democratic slate by an estimated plurality of more than 59,000, Charles V. Barrett, Republican candidate for the board of review vacancy, 1 appeared to have been elected over William P. Feeney, Democrat, by a plurality of upwards of 9,000. Sweltzer Wins Easily.

On the basis of the latest returns it appears that there either will be a tie between the two parties in the senate or. a Republican majority of at least two.

Senator Saulsbury of Delaware, president pro tempore of the senate and a commanding figure in administration councils, likewise was retired. Seldom have here been so many changes in the senate in a single elec.

tion. The Republicans trained seats by the election of McCormick in Illinois, Capper in Kansas, Keyes In New Hampshire, Phipps in Coloradio, Ball In Delaware, and Spencer in Missouri. For the first time in twenty years Missouri will have a Republican senator. Senator Weeks Defeated. The Democrats gained one senate seat by the defeat of Senator Weeks, Republican.
