Practically no change is indicated in the complexion of the National House of liepresenta. The United States Senate will ^ retain its present Republican N majority. _ Governor Chas E Hughes has been reelected in New York State by about 76,000 plurality, Indiana has gone for Taft bj from 15,000 to 16,000 plurality. Bryan apparently has carried Nebraska, although the Republicans still claim the State. Ohio returns have been seri ously delayed owing to the im mense size of the ballot, bul Taft has carried the State by z majority ranging from 50,000 tc 75,000. ~ Taft carried New York city bj about 11,000 plurality, this be ing the first time the city ha* given its vote to a RepublicaE presidential candidate sine* vl696, when Mr McKiuley had a , small plurality. Mr Taft received a greatei plurality in New York Statt * than President .Roosevelt did four years ago, the indications pointing to 202,000 for Mr Taft as against 175,000 for Mr Roose tx veil. Hisgen, the Independence party candidate for President, received about 28,000 votes ir eater New Ycrk. The indications are that Dem - ocratic Governors have beer ^elected in several of the Middle Western States that have given their presidential votes toTaft. Mr Taft has exceeded Mi Roosevelt's plurality in Nen Jersey and in Massachusetts, as vcell as in New York. The Republican pluralities fel off heavily in the Middle West in a manner thoroughly supris9 i 1 !?>?>*,, v??*VV I I > ! r=. y C * I **?* i r-? *> ; ? Co! \ O -l JfT ,r- a: ^ (f >e? =; a >r 15 ?

The heavy pluralities indicated there I for Mr Taft seemed at once to . dissipate any probability of a "landslide" for Mr Bryan, as . many Democrats had claimed, and the Republican managers at t once began to put out claims of i victory. > Some of the figures relating to the Republican slump in r States regarded as certainly . Republican are little short of ; amazing. Pennsylvania's imt mense plurality of over 500,000 ; four years ago has been cut in L iv>u? x iii uuiot v> inv^ii Roosevelt 305,000 in 1904, has gone for Taft by about 170,000. ; The highest claim of the RepubI licans for Indiana is 15,000, as ; against approximately 93,000. : Iowa, which gave Mr Roosevelt . 158,000 plurality in 1904, has dropped down to about 40,000 for Mr Taft. The return of Mis. souri to the Democracy on the l Presidential ticket wiped out a Republican plurality of 25,000 .! four v ears afo. Maryland and J ? o ?- J i West Virginia are confidently \ claimed by the Republicans, but . the returns are too meagre to , justify a classification of either State. Massachusetts, New r York and New Jersey were > striking exceptions to the generally reduced Republican plu1 ralities. There has been" a ; shrinkage of the Democratic vote in several of the Southern * ^ v ^\tYYVW \ \ IR ;i i. ,? CO., Kingstr ^*.WAMAAAA*MA*MW>M*. I States, notably in Virginia and North Carolina. Mr Taft has carried Wisconsin by a plurali ty estimated at 75.000, a falling off from the Roosevelt plurality of 156,000 in 1900. Kentucky lias gone safe!) | for Al r Kryan by about 15,000 Representative W S Cowherc has been elected Governor o Missouri over Hadley, Repub lican, by about 20,000. Governor John A Johnson o t Minnesota, has probably beei ' I elected Governor of that Stab ' for a third term, although the : State has gone safely for Mi . | Taft. I The voting throughout th< country has been exceptionally j heavy, ideal weatb r conditions J bringing out the country voters : in full force. i Mr Taft carried practically every socalled doubtful State I except Nebraska, where the in idications point to a Democratic I victory. Mr Bryan has carried Nevada and Montana, in addition to the solid South, which includes Mis ; souri. Returns from Colorado anc ; from Maryland are too meagre > to form a definite conclusion as ,' to their ultimate alignment, bui the latest Republican advices I are that Taft has carried Mary 1 land by about 3,000.

IA*AAAWMAMWAM,*AAW, * THE HALLOWE'EN PARTYPleasant Entertalnneiit Esleyed \ by these vbo Attended. The Hallowe'en party gived ?y the Daughters of the Conederacy last Friday night at Cellahan hotel to raise money or the proposed Confederate nonument to be erected here >-as a pleasant and entertaining fair. The large billiard room of the lotel, where the party was giv* n. was tastefully and bpautiully decorated for the occasion, howing the handiwork of the evoted women whose- hearts re in this work. That their paient and pains taking- effort pas so poorly rewarded by the Inn attendance is a reflection jpon our town, which as a rule sever ready to respond liberlly to any worthy cause. In his case we opine that the nonttendance was due rather to houghtlessness than lack of inerest in the cause. Hut to return to the party, here were several features of he evening's entertainment that r'eie novel and enjoyable and, ir'itltiil, well managed by the oung ladies oil whom the reponsibilitv rested for their lanagement. Une ot tlie most attractive ents was that of the charming it tie Hallowe'en witch, Miss iunice Kennedy, who was dressd in a most becoming witch's ostume. In her tent the youths nd maidens were given a picure of their future lord or lady nd a written sketch of their lappiness or unhappiness in larriage. Another tent which caused aughter and merriment was the allery of famous paintings, of fhich Miss Belle Ervin and Miss lelen Scott were in charge. was a ratalncmp nf thp fiO o - - )a in tings represented, which old by number what the specators might expect to see. lach painting was represented >v some amusing pun in words r ridiculous object suggestive f tne title of the picture. Miss Erckmann had charge of lie grab bag and the home-made mdy booth;, Miss Lillie Ervin -'-x _ f xl A.
