Unless Matthew Stanley Quay should withdraw from the field there Is little doubt that he will be elected United States senator soon after the new legialatnre meets next January. Of the 204 members of the house «Df representatives the Democrats elected only 47, while the anti-Quay Republicans number about 40. ine remainder are Quay men. in rae senate, composed of 50 members, the Qnayites say they hare axbare majority.

Republican state chairman, asserted that the former senator could count upon at least 26 votes in the senate and 116 in the house, making a total of 142, or 14 more than the required majority. Some of the anti-Quay leaders profess to be hopeful of being able to prevent Quay's election. They give out figures: Senate, Quay feaaayivaals. Semiofficial returns from 86 of the 90 counties in Iowa give the RepubUcana 263,966 and the Democrats 17&548 votes, a plurality of 87.418, or an average of 1,000 Republicans to the county. The other 13 counties at the same ratio will increase the Republican plurality to slightly more than 100.000, which is the high water mark in the state's history. Every Republican candidate for congress Is elected by increased pluralities ranging from 2,300 to 15,000.

General Reeder has the following in this morning's Philadelphia Inquirer: "Statements unofficially compiled from the returns, lodged |n the several counties with 'the respective Prothono« taries, show that at this time 116 members have been elected to the Pennsylvania Assembly, who will go into caucus and support the nominee choBen by that caucus. There have been, also, returns showing the election at this time of twenty-six Senators who will participate in the caucus called for the nomination of United States Senator, and abide by the result thereof. It is probable that these figures will be somewhat increased, as later returns are received from counties which have not yet been heard from." The figures of General Reeder, which are conservative, give Senator Quay 142 votes on joint ballot. It takes 128 votes to elect and on these figures his majority would be fourteen in joint session. At the last session Senator Quay lacked thirty-five votes of a majority on the final vote cast.

Bryan has carried Kentucky by from,. 11,000 to 12,000. and Beckham, for governor, has carried the state by a plurality approximating 5,00(1 So many of the remote counties report only partial returns that the official count will be necessary to determine the exact pluralities. The estimates here made are based on official returns from nearly nine-tehths of the counties and a 10 per cent increase in the remaining counties for governor last year. Of these 11 counties are missing entirely. These are in the mountains of the Eleventh district and gave Taylor for governor a net plurality of 4,353 last yekr. This deducted from the official vote reported leaves Beckham about 3.700 plurality, which will be increased about 1,500 upon receipt of the vote of scattering and generally Democratic precincts in southern nnd western Kentucky.

It is settled without possible dispute that the Republicans have swept Nebraska and have elected the entire state ticket and the presidential electors. Figures indicate that McKinley's majority in the state will be not less than 6,000. The legislature is Republican in both branches. The Republicans lose the governorship, William A. Poynter being reelected by at least 1,000 majority. This is attributed to a curious combination by which the church and saloon vote stood by Poynter. Chairman Lindsey for the Republicans claims that McKinley carries the state by 7,000 or more, the Republican state ticket wins by 5,000 to 7,000 and that the Republicans have a majority of 17 in the legislature.
