Taking the reports as they nro the vote Is :
Post , 4,3(19 ( ; Edgerton , 2,997 ; Blttcnoondcr ,
475. With the possible exception of district
clerk the republicans have captured every
ofllco in Lancaster county.
In thu great district judge struggle Field
nnd Hall , republicans , and Tibbets , demo
crat , were elected. Tibbots was openly en
dorsed by the independent convention and
silently endorsed by the republican conven
tion. It Is now believed that had the repub
lican convention nominated a tnird judge
that ho would have been elected as Field
eclipsed the triplicate candidate Tibbets.
The vote for the various candidates for dis
trict judge is as follows : Field ( rep , ) ,
4,022 ; Hall ( rop. ) , 3.7S2 ; Tibbetts ( dem. ) ,
3,00. $ ; Lceso ( ind. ) , 2,914 : Parker ( rep.

of either candidate. McClay is ro-olectnd

DCS MOIXES , la. , Nov. { . [ Special Tele
gram to Tin'Bai.l Uepiulioans are de
spondent and democrats jubilant In this city
tonight , and reports from all over the state
show the same state of feeling. Bitter as the
dose Is the republicans are com polled to yield
to the inevitable nnd concede the reelection
tion of Governor Boies by a larger plurality
than that of two years ago. The latest re
turns up to 10 o'clock , embracing reports
from nearly every county In the stnto , show
a not democratic gain of at least 1,000 for
Boles , and probaoly inoro. The ilguros on
other state ofllcors , whllo very
incomplete , have no encouragement for
republicans , and the probability Is the
entire state ticket Is democratic. Figures on
the legislature Indicate that the house will bo
republican by not moro than live or six. It
will probably take ollicial returns to decide
tno exact complexion of the legislature , us
some of the districts appear to bo uncom
fortably eloso.
Thirty-four counties complete In Iowa , out
of a total of nlnoty-nlnu in the state , gives
Holes ( dom ) , for governor a plurality over
Wheeler ( rep ) of 3.0UO. The same counties
In 1889 gave Bolos a plurality of 1,275 , mak
ing a not gain this year of 2,331. The re
maining counties gave Boles a plurality In
I8S9 of 5,248 , which would Indicate the claim
of the democratic state central cnmmi'too
this afternoon that tlin stuto would give
Boios a plurality of from 8.000 to 10,000. The
majority will bo sustained by the returns
when all are In.
The republican gains in the country districts
are not as largo as ilrst , indications promised.
Van Ilouton ( rep. ) , candidate for lieutenant
governor , however , is running ahead of his
ticket and the moagro returns now in on the
minor oftlcials on the ticket encourage the re
publicans to believe that ho may yet win.
The legislature , it Is believed , will bo a tto
in tno senate and > republican majority of
four In the houso. The republicans , however ,
claim a majority in both houses.
' 1 ho democrats hnvo elected tbo railroad
commissioners beyond n doubt. Chairman
Mack of the republican state committed con
cedes Boles' election by 3,000 plurality , but
claims the election of the balance ol the
state ticket , except railroad commissioners ,
for Uio republicans , also both houses of the
legislature. Chairman Fullon of the domo-
crotlo commlttco claims nil the stnte oftices ,
but concedes the lower house but says ttio
senate is in doubt.
The republicans have gained in the lower
house Audubon , Adair , Adams , Boone ,
Decatnr. Floyd , Powushiok nnd Kossuth.
Democrats gained Marion , O'Brien , and
Sioux. They Were equally divided two
years ago. That the republicans will have a
clear majority In the senate has been con
ceded later by the democrats , by ono or two.
I'ho farmers ullianco candidate , Wostfall
for governor , received nbout 15,000 votes.
The alliance carried ono county for governor
( Monroe ) , ono for representative ( Mont
gomery ) and the Montgomery-Mills sena
torial district.
The prohibition vote has not been reported.
Dubuque and Burlington report increased
majority for Boies over two years ago. The
democratic strongholds along the river and
in river towns where the prohibitory law is
particularly obnoxious was largely increased
over the majority given Boies two years ngo.
If Boies' plurnlity ! s 8,000 as it Is now
promised to bo , the rest of the democratic
ticket will bo elected by small plaralltlos.
The republicans have some hopes for Van
Houton , lieutenant governor who is running
ahead \Vtioelorin the precincts thnt liavo
reported. They also claim Saby , republican ,
for superintendent of instruction. The dem
ocrats claim the whole state ticket is oloctcd.
It will make fuller returns than can now bo
obtained to doci Jo the atato ticket below gov
ernor. The total vote is 425,000 a larger ono
than has over been seen before.

Trial ofProf. Hrle s for Heresy by the
New Yorlc I'rosbytory.
Nr.w YOUK , No" . 4. The Now biorlc pres
bytery assembled this morning for the pur
pose of beginning the trial of Prof. Charles
Brigcs on the charge p't'horosy , based on
language used by him in his inaugural ad-
dross.- the Union Choologlcal seminary.
Dr. John C. Bliss presided as moderator.
There was a full attendance.
Ono of the chief charges ngainst Dr. Brlggs
Is tbat ho 'disputes the inerrancy of the
Bible.
The professor read a paper objecting to the
form of tno charges preferred , stating that
the report of the commlttco which formu
lated an indictment against him charges
nu offense on which ho Is not now prepared
for trial. This , Dr. Briggs said , did him n
great injustice and was apt to prejudice the
decision of the members. Ho said that if ho
had caused wide anxiety in the church ho
was sorry , but In bis conscience ho felt no
guilt as regards disturbing the peace
and harmony of the church. Ilo
further added that the charges are
generally ouscuro and irrcgulnr in form
throughout , nnd there is nothing in the
specifications that can bo tested by defend
ants. He admitted excerpts from his ad
dress mode on the occasion of his inaugura
tion as professor of biblical theology In the
Union Theological seminary. The facts 10-
lied on to sustain the charges are missing in
the indictment , ho suld , also that the Indict
ment contained Insinuations wholly untrue.
lie denied hoover taught doctrins conllicl-
iug with the holy scriptures ns the only in
fallible rule of faith and practice.
The presbytery resumed Its session promptly -
ly at 'J o'clock. The church was crowded.
After a brief preliminary the resolutions of
Dr. VanDyke was takan up. The doctor
nmdo a dignlticd and earnest nloa In support
of his proposition to dismiss the case against
Dr. Brings. Ho did not think , ho said , that
It could bo In the Interests of the Presby
terian church to push a trial of the case
to the bitter end. Dr. Brlgg had mot
the charges In an honest , straightforward
manner , had said that ho had not meant
to utter any fatso doctrines , and is not con
scious of having dona so ; if ho has ho is
sorry , and Is It manly oruhrinian llko or just
to go in the face these avowals I
Colonel McCook urged that the trial pro
ceed ; to dismiss the casn would Indicate that
the board of dltclpllnu Is a superfluity , and
it would only result in aa appeal being taken
and cause delays.
Uov. James H. Mcllvoluo made a strong
In of Dr. '
argument support Brigga'objec
tion ; that the charges were not specific nnd
were not substantiated by facts , nnd , there
fore , moved for the dismissal of the charges.
Ho declared that there would bo delay any
way , and either the committee of Dr. Brlggs
would likely appeal from the decision of the
presbytery.
For the purpose of making n formal record ,
Hov. J. Ford Sutton moved nn nmondmont ,
nddlng the words to Dr. Van Dvko's motion
that the chnrges bo dUrafsud "in considera
tion of Dr. Briggs1 answer. "
Dr. Thomas U Hastings , president of the
seminary , also argued in favor of dismissing
the charges , his reference to the prosecution
being somewhat caustic. "It was supposed , "
bo said , "that the commlttco was under the
control of the prosbytory'but It seemed that
the presbytery was under the control of the
commlttco , "
A , Hobmson arosn to a point of order nt
this declaration and contended that Dr.
Hastings was not speaking on the subject
under consideration by the presbytery ,
whereupon Dr. Hastings declared that the
cqmmlttco's authority had been used as nn
argument against the motion of dismissal ,
and continuing , stated that the charges
should bo dismissed for the sake of the
church.
A general discussion followed , during
which an extract from a lottnr written by
Samuel Hamilton wiu road , as follows : "I
have learned moro of the holghth and depth ,
the length and breadth of the word of God
from Dr. Brlggs than from all otbor men to
gether. "
Hov. David \Vyllo offered a further amend
ment to the effect that the charges bo dli-
missed , but wished it understood that ho did
not approve of thu statement uiado by Dr.
Briggs In bis address.
Dr. W. G. T. Stod most earnestly plea.led .
ngainst the dismissal of thu charges , nrgulnu
that a dlsinUsal would bo to dodge the
question of Dr. Brlgea' alleged horcltlcal
utterances.
The resolution , as amended , to dismiss the
charges was then rt'ad ami n vote taken by
roll call , resulting , Ul In favor of the motion
ankD'J against ; sevonty-ono ministers and
twenty-tbroo ciders voting In the aftlmatlvo
und twenty-six mlnUtors sad thirteen elders
voting In the negative.
Tbii action , however , does not end the
controversy as It will undoubtedly be taken

Cablo-Spcclal to Tun UuB.J The Herald's
Manchester correspondent has been Inter
viewing various business people In the north
ot England today on the result of American
elections with especially in view of the vlc-
of Major MeKlnloy.
Mr. Charles Williams , ono of the leading
cotton broltorj In Liverpool said : "There has
boon very llttlo said on 'chango today about
the elections , but wo are moro interested
bore on the silver qunstion than In the tariff
views ot Mr. MoKlnloy. The silver ijuos-
tlou , according to our ( fiend's tu the states.
will como to tboUt..lt nijaln , and if the sllvoi
party wins the > stilt will niTcct the
cotton Industry jiiouMy. Per this reason
wo look upon silver legislation with more In
terest than wo regard the affairs of nn in
dividual politician. "
In response to n query by wire , the
Uinnrd Steamship company representative
replied : "Wo can scarcely offer an opinion ,
but wo are inclined to think thntlf McKinlov
has boon clocted It will have been duo to local
Interests and that It will not necessarily in.
dicnto u protectionist victory. * Coiiornllv
speaking Bradford has suffered niorosovorolv
than nny other English town by the Mo-
Kinlo.v bill. "
Mr. Ilardt , well known In Now York , said :
"Wo regard the victory of McICIi.loy as uo-
nijr most decidedly n protectionist victory. "
Other prominent linns ( Incline to bo quoted
on political questions. Ktibon Spencer , man-
"cine director of the Uyhuids & Sons
( limited ) , of Manchester , who employ
15,000 bands , said : "It wns generally ox-
peeled that McKlnley would bo defeated.
His victory has caused somofurpriso but It Is
not sulllclontly signltlcant or Important
enough to discourage the low tariff advo
cates. "
Manager of William Barlow .t Sons of
Manchester , the lareost spinners In the
world , did not regard the election as of gen
eral Importance or thnt It was the opinion of
the country expressed bv Ohio.
Hichard Mnrsden , editor of the Textile

McKinlcy's election ns evidence of the deep
rooted character of American protectionist.

Full Itetiirns Not Vet In.
DBNvnn , Colo. , Nov.A 4. The election law
has delayed the returns so that It will bo im-i
possible oven tonight , to give the exact ro-
sults. Sufllcient , however , has boon received
to determine that Judge Helm , republican ,
has been chosou chief Justice by from 7,000 to
10,000 majority. Partial returns from the
sixteen election districts in tltis county give
the republicans their entire ticket by major
ities ranging from l'J7l to HU'I7. With tno
exception of Lake and Las Anlmna counties ,
tha republicans elected tllelr entire ticket in
every county in the stnto.
Referring to the result of yesterday's elec
tion in the east , the Hocky Mountain Noivs
says : The'elections of yesterday rnako It
cloarjthat the democratic party will elect the
next president of the United Stutos. Now
York is now so firmly fixed in the demo
cratic column that it cannot bo shaken. Now
Torsny , Connecticut and Indiana nro always
safely democratic when Now Yorlc Is. In
addition , Massachusetts may bo considered
surely within the democratic lines nnd half a
dozen western states , led by Iowa are moro
to bo depended upon for the democratic can-
didntcs than for the republican , A demo
cratic president Is assured.

Niw YOUK , Nov. 4. Ex-President Clove-
and gave an opinion of the result of Tues
day's election as follow * : "Of course everyone
ono has a right to put his own construction
upon the result , nnd I am not anxious to obtrude -
trudo my ideas , but it seems to mo one thing
ought to bo no longer doubtful. Any man
vho still thinks the tariff reform a settled
nnd obsolete Issue , or that the importance of
sound and safe inonoy is a quos-
lon unon whicn the pcoplo can bo
ilitided , Is either wilfully wrong , or
langerously dull. It seems to mo democrats
ought to bo satisfied that staunch adherence
o principles of tholr party does not require
abuse of these who show an Inclination to
iclp us. 1 very much regret the defeat of
Ciovornor Campbell. Ho was a bravo , honest
ollicial. This and the splendid canvass ho
nado entitled him to success. While tlio
iloction of Flower , Hussell and Boles ought
o cause the utmost rujolcing among demo
crats , they should not forgot that with these
hings comes the obligation to bo true to thn
icoplo , honest In the advocacy of our prin
ciples and decent in all things. "

Not In nil the history of the stnto Imsjtlioro
boon hold nu election nt which the count pro
ceeded with such exasperating slowness aa
does thnt of tlio ono hold on Tuesday. Ono
year ago when thn Intcnso Interest In tha
outcome of the votu hold public fooling nt the
highest tension for daysthoro was much com-
phiiut nt the delay experienced In getting
returns from such counties as Hooker mid
McPhcrson , where there was prnotlcally no
moans of communication. But the impatloncfl
experienced then was fun compared to the
expressions thnt have found vent concerning
the count In Douglas county this yoar.
With unsurpassed facilities for com *
munlcaUon , it has been found Impossible
sibleto collect to nato the complota
returns for Omaha. For two nights nnd
and ono day the election boards have pored
over the ballots , nud yet the count Is uncom
pleted. Just why this should bo so Is Inex
plicable , unless it bo charged to the total
unfltticss ot the men appointed for the duties
they were called upon to illl as Judges nnd
clerics ot election. That a certain degree of
clerical adroitness or expertness Is required to
properly till those portions uono will gain
say. Yet the majority ot the 000 odd oleo-
tion oQlcors were men unaccustomed to uio
of pen or pencil , nnd few If any , had any
skill as accountants. This year's experience
should bo a warning1 , ana should u-go that
\vlion another sot of election officials Is
chosen that lltnoss for the work bo deter
mined by sorao other standard than party
adulations.
What IB Certain.
But the count has procoodou far enough to
irmlto absolutely certain thai the republicans
have gained an unprecedented victory In the
county. Where two years ago only ono ro ,
publican ( Berlin for commissioner ) was
elected , this year only two republicans
( Smith for surveyor and III11 for county
superintendent ) lias been defeated , and oven
their defeat Is not certain. It is probable ,
however , that House and Hill , dcmocrutln
candidates for these offices , have been saved
from the catyclasm that overwhelmed the
unwashed Tuesday.
On the city ticket the showing Is.tho same.
Hvcry republican candidate for city ofllco la
elected by a largo plurality , andolghtof
ho nine councUmen arc republicans. At
present the indications are that the uino
councilmen-nt-larpi'-olcct. are : McLonrle ,
Uechcl , Monroe , Jncobson , Steel , Edwards ,
UacK nnd Prlnco ( reps. ) , and Ilowell ( doin. ) .
[ lowell is the only man who escaped , and ho
owes his election to his personal popularity.
It is quite prohablp that the proiont bench
of the district has been chosen for tha com-
ng term. On the state ticket the majoritloi
are heavily republican , Judge Post carried
Bdgorton's homo town in every ward. Ho
will have a majority in Domains county ot
