New York, Nov. 9. —The Democratic party In the country at large has won its first victory since the election of Grover Cleveland to the presidency in 1892. It has elected governors in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Ohio. Has upset the Republican majority in the house and has insured a greatly reduced majority in the United States senate. The Democratic state ticket wins by about 60,000' plurality for the head of the ticket, John A. Dix. The rest of the Democratic state ticket is elected by reduced pluralities. The Republicans lost every member of congress in Greater New York except William M. Calder in Brooklyn. The legislature on joint ballot will be Democratic, thus insuring a successor to Chauncey M. Depew. The Indianapolis Star, (Beveridgfe organ), prints .the following: “The defeat of the entire Republican state ticket and of the state legislative ticket is conceded by Republicans gathered at state headquarters in the Claypool hotel.” For the first time since 1892, New Jersey went Democratic. Woodrow Wilson, president of Princeton university, is elected governor over Vivian M. Lewis, his Republican opponent, by a plurality that may reach 35,000. Except in Mr. Lewis’ own county the Democratic candidate mads gains in every county* in the state and all indications point to a legisla ture that will be Democratic on the joint ballot and name a Democratic as the successor of United States Senator John Kean, whose term expires in 1911.

Bass, Republican, is elected governor of New Hampshire. Hooper, Republican and fusion candidate for governor defeats Rob L. Taylor, the Democratic candidate in Tennessee. Incomplete returns from Montana indicate a close fight in the legislature which will elect a successor to United States senator Carter. Pray, Republican, is re-elected to congress. Col. Roosevelt lost his own election district by 60, his own county of Nassau by 300, and probably his own congresional district. Martin W. Littleton, Democrat, for congress has a plurality in the colonel's county over Congressman Cocks, who was often the spokesman for Col. Rooseevlt when the colonel was president. Senator Beveridge, according to returns. was defeated in Indiana by John W. Kern, and eleven out of thirteen congressional districts in Indiana went Democratic. Massachusetts elected Foss, Demo crat, governor by a plurality estimated in excess of 20.000. In Nebraska, Hitchcock, anti-Bryan Democrat, is elected over' United States Senator Burkett, Republican by 20,000V11 ay or Dahlman. of Omaha who made the Democratic bolt against Bryan in Nebraska, carried the city ol Omaha in his campaign for governor by 9,000. But Aldrich, the Republican, is leading in the interior of the state and the indications are that his plurali in the other counties will more

than offset the plurality of Mayor Dahlman in Douglas county, which includes the city of Omaha. In New York the Republicans have sustained a heavy loss in congressional districts. The present congressmen most overwhelmingly defeated In that state is Herbert Parsons, son of John E. parsons, of the sugar trust, and lieutenant for Col. Roosevelt in his fight against the old guard in the state. Henry George, son of the theorist and single tax advocate, apparently has a small majority over William S. Bennett. In New York the surprising feature of (he election was that the Republican vote fell off more heavily up state than it did in Greater New York. In Kentucky, Caleb Powers, thrice convicted of the assassination of Gov. Goebel, and not long out of prison, was elected to congress by 3,000, carrying every county in his district except his home county of Laurel. Incomplete returns from Kansas indicate the election of Gov. Stubbs. Uncle Cannon, speaker of the house, is elected by the biggest majority the district has given for ten years. Sereno E. Payne, chairman of the ways and means committee, is elected by a plurality but little short of normal. John Dalzell, another of Speaker Cannon’s lieutenants, Is re elected in Pennsylvania. . jjf. Sloat Fasset, a supporter of Speaker*Cannon, is defeated. The Republicans lose senators from Maine, where the election has already been held; Indiana, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New’ Jersey, New York and Ohio. This result means the Republican majority in the United States senate will be reduced from 25 to 12. The house of representatives will be Democratic, probably by 29, the Democratic gain of 35. In the new house will be two Socialists from Wisconsin; — The New York legislature will be Democratic on a joint ballot. The New r York figures, subject to correction, are: Senate —Democrats, 27; Republicans, 24. Assembly—Democrats, 76; Republicans, 74. Democratic majority on joint ballot, 5.
