AFTER THE BATTLE.

BOIES, M’KINLEY, FLOWER, AND BUSSELL WIN. Campbell Defeated by 20,000 lowa’s Enormous Vote—Kansas, Colorado, and Pennsylvania Go Strongly Republican—- ' Working of the Australian Ballot in Ohio and Illinois. Here Are the Results. From returns which appear enough complete to warrant correct judgment.

McKinley is elected in Ohio by a plurality conceded by Democrats to reach 20,000. The Legislature also appears to be Republican. The People’s party cast about 12,000 votes. • Hamilton County, in which Cincinnati is located, gave Mc.Kinley about 5,000 Cleveland gave Campbell 300

majority, while Toledo went for McKinley. The vote wa# not heavy, and the Australian ballot was a success. The Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette says editorially: “Returns on the Legis-

lature show that it is Republican, and a cireful canvass of the Senatorial preferences of the members elected indicates that if Governor Foraker really has Senatorial aspirations, his elec-* tion is assured beyond the shadow of a doubt. A number of the legislators are already

outspoken in their r ' choice notably tho three representatives

from Lucas County, who state positively that they are for Foraker first, last, and all the time. It goes without the saying that the Hamilton County delegation ought to be for the governor from motives of local pride, to say nothing of individual preference. By this the members of the Hamilton County delegation will in no wise disparage the distinguished services of Senator Sherman, but will express the almost unanimous choice of the Hamilton County republicans.” In New York Blower’s plurality for Governor i 3 placed at 40,512. This is 80,000 less than Tammany's big chief, “Dick” Croker, predicted and a trifle over 58,500 more than the Republican leader, Husted, figured upon. The election of B’l*wer and the whole Democratic State ticket, a possible majority in ihe Stato Legislature, besides the election of the entire city tickets in New York and Brooklyn, are among the fruits of the victory claimed by tho Democrats. The State Senate is a tie —16 to 16. The returns for the Assembly are not full enough to compute its actual complexion, but reports received at the Democratic headquarters indicate tho election of a working majority in that body and consequently in joint assembly. In lowa the vote was very heavy. Although claims are made that Wheeler’s defeat is not assured, there seems little cause to doubt that Boies is chosen by 5,000 to 8,0; 0 plurality. The total vote reached nearly 420,000, which shows tho intense interest taken. Conservative Republicans admit their leader’s defeat. The entire Democratic State ticket is elected. The Legislature is Republican in both branches —tho Senate by two,

and tho House by from two to four majority. In Massachusetts Russell (Dem.), it is estimated, has received 156,000 and Allen (Rep.) 151,000 votes, leaving the Governor a plurality of about 5,000. The vote of Boston is 36,512 for Russell and 22,967 for Allen, which gives the Democrats a plurality in the city of 13,525. Tho towns outside of the cities last year gave Brackett (Rep.) 59,313 and Russell (Dem.) 52,889. Returns from 282 towns this year give Russell 49,871 and Allen 59,384. Gov. Russell gained 13 per cent, in these towns, which, applied to the rest of the towns, would make his total in all towns 59,199. Add to these figures the vote of Boston, and it Bwells Russell’s vote to 95,711 and Allen’s to 91,790. The cities outside of Boston gave Russell a year ago 55,144 and Brackett 52,515. Russell carried them then by about 2,500 plurality. The increased vote this year in thes; same cities Indicates thit Russell will have over 60,000 votes and Allen 53,000, thus making the total vote in the state about 156,000 for Russell and 151,000 for Allen. The entire Republican State ticket, with the exception of Governor, is elected by ample pluralities. Returns for members of the Legislature thus far indicate that seventeen Republican Senators are elected. Complete returns for 127 members of the House of Representatives, a little more than one-half, show that eighty-two Republicans have been elected and forty-five Democrats. The Executive Council will probably stand se\cn Republicans to one Democrat. .

Returns from every county in Pennsylvania give Gregg (Rep ), 50,833 plurality over Wright (Dem.), for Auditor General; Morrison (Rep.), for State Treasurer, 47,467 over Tilden (Dem.). Tho Rupublicans of the Fifth Michigan District elected Charles E. Belknap to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Congressman hord by a plurality of 1,200 to 1,500. The People’s party polled nearly 4,000 votes. Returns from nearly every county in Kansas show that the Republicans have carried a majority of them and that the Alliance vote has fallen off. The Republicans have elected nine out of twelve District Judges. The Coiorado Republican State Committee claims the election of Joseph C. Heim for Supreme Judge by 5,000 ma-idl-ity.
