Successful Candidate for Gove Increased His Strength Largely An Ady cent to the in the Counties River, Des Moixes, Ta., Nov. 4.—[Special Telo- gram to Tur’ Bre.|~Repuslicans are de- spondent ad democrats jubilant in this city tonight. and reports from all over the state show the samo state of feoling. Bitter as the dose is tho republicans are compolled to yield to the inevitable and concedo the ro-elec- tion of Governor Boies by a larger plurality than that of two years ago. The latest re wirns up to 10 o'clock, embracing reports from nearly every county in the state, show a net democratic gain of at least 1,000 for Boies, and probably more, The figures on other state officors, whlie very incomplete, have no encouragement for ropublicans, and the probubility is the ontire state ticket is democratic, Iigures on the togislature indicate tuat the house will bo publican by not more than five or six. It will probably take oficial returns to decide the exact coruploxion of the legislature, as some of the districts appear to be uncom- fortably closo. ‘Thirty-four counties complete in Towa, out of a total of ninety-nine in the state, gives Boies (dem), for governora plurality over Wheeler (rep) of $,006. Tho same countics in 1530 gave Boies a plurality of 1,275, mak- g anet gain this yoar of 2,331, Tho re- maining counties gave Boies & piurality in 1850 of 5,248, which would indicate tho claim of tho democratic state central commi'teo this afternoon that tho state would give Boies a plurality of from $,000 to 10,000. Tho majority will he sustawed by the returns when all are in. The republican gains in the country districts are not as largo as first indications promised. Van Houten (rep.), candidate for lieutenant governor, however, 15 ruaning shead of his ticket and the meagro returns now in on tho minor ofticials on the ticket encourage the re- publicans to beliove that ho may yet win. The legislature, it is believed, Wil be a tie in tne senate aud ublican majority of four in the house. The republicans, however, claim a majority 1n both houses. ‘Tho democrats have elected the railroad commissioners beyond @ doubt. Chairman Mack of the republican state committee con- cedes Boies' election by 3,000 plurality, but claims the election of the balance of the stato ticket, except railroad commissioners, for the republicans, also both houses of tho logislatare. Chairman Euilen of the demo. crotic committeo claims all the state ofiices, but concedes the lower house but says tho senate s in doubt. The republicans have gained in the lower houso Audubon, Adair, Adams, Boonc, Decatur, [Ployd, Poweslick and Kossuth. Democrats gained Marion, O'Brien, and Sioux. They were equally divided two years ngo. That the republicans will have a clear majority in the senate has beon con- ceded lator by the democrats, by one or two. The farmers allianco candidate, Westfail for govornor, recoived about 15,000 votos. The alliance carried one county for governor (Mouroe), one for represeutative (Mont- gomery) and tho Montgomery-Milis sena- torial district. The prohibition vote has not been reported. Dubuque and Burlington report increased majority for Boies over two yoars ago. The democratic strongholds along the river and in river towns where tho probibitory law is particularly obnoxious was largely increased over tho majority given Boies two years ngo. 1f Boies' plurality is 5,000 as it is now promised to be, the rest ‘of tho democratic ticket will bo elected by small pluralitios. Tho republicans have some hopes for Van Houten, lieutenant governor who is running abead of Wheelerin the precinets that have reported. They aiso claim Saby, republican, for superintendent of instruction. The dem- ocrats claim the wholo stato ticket 1s elected. 1t will make futler roturns than can now be obtained to decie tho state ticket below gov- cruor, Tho total vote is 425,000 —a larger one than has ever been seon before.

New Yonk, Nov.4.—Tho New York pres- bytery assewblod this morning for the pur- pose of boginning tho tril of Prof. Charles Briges on the chargo ot heresy, based on languago used by him inthis inaugural ad- dress 1n the Union Thoglogical seminary. Dr. John C. Bliss presidéd as moderator. There was a full attendance. Oue of the chief charges against Dr. Briggs is that he disputes the inerrancy of tho Bible. The professor read a paper objecting to the form of tne charges preferred, stating that the report of the committee which formu lated an indictment aguinst him oharges an offense on which he is not now prepaved for trial. This, Dr. Briges said, did him a great injustico and was apt to prejudico the decision of the members. He said that if ho had caused wide anxiety in the church he was sorry, but in bis ¢ cience he felt no guilt as rogards disturbing the peace and harmony of the church, He further added that the charges are genorally obseure and jrregular in form throughout, and there is nothing in the specifications that can be tosted by defend- euts, He admitted excerpts from his ad- dress made on the occasion of his inaugura- tion as professor of bibtical theology in the Union Theological seminary, The facts ve- hed on to sustain the charges are missing in the indictment. ho said, also that the ind| ment contained insimuations wholly untrue, He denied he over taugnt doctrins conflict iug with the holy scriptures as the ouly in- fallible rule of faith and practice. The presbytery resumed its session prompt- ly at 2 o'clock. 'The church was crowded. After a brief preliminary the resolutious of Dr. VanDyke was taksn up. The doc made a dignified and earnest vlea in_support of his proposition to dismiss the case against Dr. Briggs. Ho did not think, he satd, that iteould bein the intercsts of tho Presby terian church to push a trial of tho case to tho bitter end. Dr. Brigg bad met the charges in an’ honest, straightforwar wauner, bad said that bho had not moant 1o utter any false doctrines, and is not con- scious of having done so;if he has he 15 sorry, and is it manly orchristian like or just 1o g0 In the face Lhese avowals? Colonel McCook urged that the trial pro ceed; to dismiss the case would indicato that the board of discipline is a superfluity, and it would only result in an appeal being taken and cause delays Rev. Jumes 1. McIlvaine argument in support of D tion; that the charges were not specitic and were not substantiated by facts, and, the fore, moved for tho dismissal of the charges He declared that _there would be delay any way, and either the committee of Dr. Briggs would likely appeal from the decision of the presbytery. I7or the purpose of making a formal racord, Kev. J. Ford Sutton moved an amendment, adding the words to Dr. Van Dyke's motion that the chargos be dismised “in considora- tion of Dr, Briggs’ answer." Dr. Thomus L. Hastings, president of the seminary, also argued in favor of dismissig tho charges, bis reference to the prosecution being somowhat caustic, - *It was supposed,”’ bo suid, “'that tho committeo was urder the controi of the presbytery, but it seemed that tho presbytory was uuder the control of the committee.” A, Itobinson arose to & pointof order at this declaration and contended that Dr. Hastings was not speaking on the subject under consideration by the presbytery, whercupon Dr. Hastings declared thiat tho committee’'s authority nad been used as an afgument ngainst the motion of aismissal, aud coutinuing, stated that tho charges should bo dismissed for tho sake of tho chureh, A general maden_ strong Briggs’ objec discussion followed, curing which an_extract from a lettor written by Samuel Hamilton was read, as follows: 1 have learned more of thé heighth and depth, tho length_and breadth of tho wora of God from Dr. Briggs than from all other men to- gether.’ Rov.

Where two years ago only one res publican (Berlin for commissionor) was clected, this year only two ropublicans (Swmith for surveyor ana Hill for county superitendont) has beon dofeated, and even thewr defeat is not certain. 1t is probable, nowever, that House and Hill, democratia candidates for these oflices, huve been saved from the catyclasm that overwhelmed the unwashed Tuesday. On tho city ticket the showing is the same, Every republican candidate for city oftice is elected by a largo vlarality, and eight of the nine councilmen are repubiicans, At present the indications are that the unine councilmen-at-large-eloct are: McLearic 3echel, Monvoe, Jacobson, Steol, Edwards, nd Prince (reps.), and Howell (dom.).
