Result of Yesterday's Contests in the Different States.

OHIO REMAINS REPUBLICAN.

Bushnell Elected Governor by Over One Hundred Thousand Plurality—Republican Gains in New York—The Republicans Gain Two United States Senators.

Returns From the Different Statos. COLUMBUS, O., NOV. 6.—While the

highwater mark of 137,000 Republican plurality last year for Secretary of State Taylor will not be reached, the Republican state committee claim that their record will be broken on the vote for any governor. The highest Republican plurality for governor heretofore was that of John Brough over Clement L. Yallandingham in 1863, when the latter was a refugee in Canada. The Republicans claim that this plurality will be surpassed and the Democratic state committee concede the state to the Republicans by 80,000 or as much as the plural* ity of two years ago.

ASA

BUSHNELIJ.

Chairman Kurtz of the Republican state committee states that the Republicans have surely carried the state by 110,000 plurality and elected 77 out of 112 members of the house of representatives, and 27 out of the 87 members of the senate, a majority of 47 on joint ballot for senator.

Ex-Congressman Charles M. Anderson, chairman of the Democratic state committee, said: "We concede the state to the Republicans by GO,000 plurality and both branches of the legislature fcv a large majority. The Populist vote of over 60,000 for Coxey for governor hurt us. The hard times were too fresh in the minds of the people to be forgotten and this led to our defeat. There is nothing left us but hope on which to begin the campaign of: 1890."

Franklin county is the only one in the state showing a big Democratic gain, The entire Republican plurality of 2,000 two ye: 'AS ago has boon wiped out and I the out ire Democratic legislative and county ticket clected by a small ity11! the Western Keserve.

CTjFWKTj \XD, Nov. (».—Returns from various parts of the western reserve report Republican gains almost uniformly. The vote was everywhere light, but the, failing oil' was largest in tho Democratic vote.

I'KXNSVJLVAXIA.

PHILADELPHIA, NOV. G.—Returns received up to the present time indicate that Benjamin J. Haywood, Republcan, has been elected state treasurer by about 150,000 plurality, a gain over 1893, which was also an off year, of about 15,000. This state also elects seven judges of the new superior court. Of these the six Republicans nominated are ft* '"ted, as folloAvs: James A. Beaver, Ei ai'd N. Willard, John J. Wickham, Charles K. Rice, Howard J. Reeder, George B. Orlaay. The seventh man on the ticket is in doubt. The Democrats have six men on the ticket and returns indicate that each of these lias run ahead of the ticket in his own section. The choice apparently lies between Magee of Allegheny, Smith of Lackawanna and Yerkes of Bucks, with chances favoring the former.

In this city the Republican ticket is elected by an overwhelming majority. The ticket elected is as follows: Judge court of common pleas, Craig Biddie district attorney, George S. Graham recorder of deeds, William W. Geary city comptroller, Jo]m M. Walton coroner, Samuel H. Ash bridge clerk court of quarter sessions, William B. Ahern.

William W. Geary, who is regarded as David Martin's representative on the ticket, was cut to some extent, but not as much as had been expected. Complete returns from 18 out of 37 wards show Republican pluralities of 84,3tS5. If this ratio is kept up the plurality in. this city will be fully 60,000.

TS i:\V Y'OKIv.

NEW Yoifiv, Nov. G.—The Republicans have carried New York state '"'above the Harlem," for the head of the state ticket by a plurality clearly estimated at 100,0*.J0. '-.ho Democrats have carried New York city by a plurality of fully 40,000 for tiie head of the state ticket, and have carried Brooklyn by 6,000, giving tho state to the Republicans by probably 54,000, showing a wet Republican gain over the election of two years ago of nearly 3,000.

Returns from all but 407 out of the *8,383 election districts north of the Harlem river, in New York state, give Palmer, Republican, for secretary of state, 344,70!) King, Democrat, 224,71 a Re-

publican plurality of 119,994 outside of New York and Kings counties, showing a Republican gain of 26,333 compared with 18'J3. Deducting the Democratic

RETURNS.

BROOKLYN, Nov. 6.—Mayor, 533 districts, give Wurster, Republican, 04-, 876 Grout', Democrat, 64,422 Shepard, 7,932 Wurster now leads by 454.

IOWA.

DES MOINES, NOV. 6.—The Republicans claimed the state by 66,000, while Democrats ^ooncede 33,000, which was Jackson,'a plurality two-years ago. The final figures will probably place it nearer tie former than the latter. Present indications ire that it can not go below 60,000,: as tabulated precincts show average gain,, over two years ago, of about 16. The. total vote cast will ,be about. 27,000 less, than two years ago, and about .33,000 less than last year. Most of these losses are Democratic, the Populists make some gains mostly from the Democfats.

The Prohibitionists-are not polling as large a .vote as they did two years ago. All these figures are liable to change, as the precincts not yet reported are liable to show important changes.

On the legislature few returns have been received. The Republican committee estimates the house 74 Republicans and 26 Democrats, and the senate 42 Republicans and 8 Democrats. This gives Senator Allison 116 out ef 150 votes on joint ballot next •winter, when he comes up for re-election.

MISSOURI.

KANSAS CITY, NOV. 6.—Returns up to about midnight indicate that the Republicans have carried a majority of their county tickets in their entirety by pluralities of 700 to 800, and that David Martin, Republican candidate for chief justice of the supreme court, is elected by a handsome majority. In many instances Martin ran ahead of his ticket. Charles K. Holliday, Jr., Democrat, however, made a better showing than was generally anticipated for him. Republicans carry Wyandotte, Butler, Cherokee, Montgomery, Reno and Johnston counties, but as a rule losses are shown over last ye ir's elections.

Tli Populists carry Clay county and the fnsiomsts Lyons and Sedgewiek counties. A tchison and Shawnee counties are mL.ed.

iiMlXKV.

LOU.ISVJT.XI', Nov. (i.—Scattering returns rocei\od up to the present time, including this city and county give Hardin a majority of 1,700. These returns come from every county in the state. Four years ago in the race for governor, the Democratic majority was 28,081 and some idea of the present result nicy be gleaned from the fact that the Republicans made the following gains in counties remotely situated: Adair, 248: Allen. 47:5 Mercer, 286 Madison, 2!)3 Breckinbridge. 840 Boyd, 56(5 Cumberland, 207 Franklin, 088. In this county the Republican gain will be over 11,000.

IN'MASSACHUSETTS.''''

BOSTOX, NOV. 6.—Cities and towns in Massachusetts, including the city of Boston, gave Greenhalge, 124,946 Williams, 81,388 Kendall, 2,753. Same towns last year gave Greenhalge, 124,034 Russell, 81,952. Greenhaige:s plurality 43,558, Republican gain 1,4().

Female Suffrage Defeated.

BOSTON", NOV. (.—The hopes 01 rae friends of female suffrage have boon buried beneath an avalanche of ballots. Hardly a town Hint voted shows a niujorty in favor of the proposition to grant suffrage to women in municipal ali'airs. A fair estimate of the result wouid be three votes against female suffrage to one in it.s favor.

MISSISSIPPI,

JACKSON, Miss., Nov. 0.—From reports received up to this hour it is estimated the Democratic majority will be from 8.",000 t- 58.-X i-'o.iulists did not poll m-:rc :i' the total vote In this -t0 votes were polled, being loss than half the registered votes. Burkett, the Populist candidate for governor, got 14 of this number and the remainder went to Mc- 1 Laiu-in, the Democratic candidate. The campaign just closed was on free silver as against the gold standard and the resuit is a complete victory for the free silverites.

NEW JICli.SEY.

TRENTON, NOV. (5.—The o'Tieial vote for govcrncr in this state is: Griggs, 28,42~' McGill, 7,(500. Griggs' plurality, 20,822. Of the seven senators voted for, live Republicans and one Democrat were elected, one being still in doubt.

CHICAGO, Nov. G.—The Republicans carried the election by pluralities of about 30,000 on tlie entire ticket. Ball, the Republican candidate for judge of the superior court has do*V»i r-i Mon-i-son, his Democratic competitor, by 30,500. The Republicans elected five of the. trustees for the $30,000,000 drainage canal. The terms of the elections for those positions are that each party nominates five candidates and the one candidate receiving the smallest number of votes is defeated. Each party is sure of four elected trustees, and tlie Republicans secured the odd man, as the man receiving the smallest number of votes wo.s Duffy, a Democrat. All the Republican candidates were about 30,OCX) ahead of the Democrats.

How It Will Effect the United States I Senate. WASHINGTON, NOV. 6.—Great interest

I was manifested here in the legislative I elections throughout the country, as they will 111 teriully affect the control of the United States senate. Up to today,

th© standing in the senate was aa follows: Republicans, 42: Democrats, 39. I Populists, 6 vacant (Del.) 1. Total, 88

As the result of yesterday's election the Democrats will lose and the Republicans.will gain a senator from Delaware and from Ohio respectively. The other legislative elections do not appear to affect the standing in fhe senate, as Kentucky and Mississippi remain Democratic, the latter certainly and the former probably, while Iowa continues Republisaft. Utah chooses two United States senators for the first time, but the complexion of the legislature is not yet cer- 1 tain. The Utah senators take their seats in the senate shortly after congress assembles. The changes in Ohio and Maryland will not affect the senate until march 4, 1897.

The Republican majority in the next Ohio legislature, as shown by the returns from Ohio, insures the retirement of Senator Brice (Dem.) and the Succession of a Republican. It appears to be settled that ex-Governor Foraker will be the choice of the legislature, as the state convention placed his name in the platform as ttie senatorial candidate.

I11 Maryland, the election of a Republican legislature, the first in many years —will bring about the retirement of Senator Gibson, and the election of a Republican in his place. As yet 110 names have been mentioned in connection with the succession.

The election of a Republican legisla-

In Kentucky, incomplete returns indicate a Democratic legislature, which will elect Senator Blackburn to succeed himself.

The return of a Democratic legislature in Mississippi lias been a foregone conclusion. It will elect si successor to Senator George.

The returns from Now York and New Jersey indicate Republican srains. These legislatures do not eloet United States senators this year, bat. as p.ivi o? the legislature holds over, the present election is important in influencing those bodies whieli will elect successors to Senator Hill of New York and Senator Smith of New Jersey, whose terms expire March 4, 1897.

NEW YORK, NOV. 0.—The Herald yesterday says: Papers are now being drawn for a transfer to John Jacob Astor of all the rights, interests and stocks of Mrs. Bloomfield Moore in the Keely motor, the Keely Motor company and the inventions of John W. Keely ot Philadelphia, whose supposed discoveries in physics have been talked of for 20 years all over the civilized world and have been declared by some engineering experts and scientific, men to denote the devol moment of a new force. This force bas been said to be as much more marvelous than electricity as electricity is more wonderfull than steam and compressed air.

Other authorities have vehemently denounced it as a fraud. The stock of the Keelv Motor company is very largely owned in Now York city. The company was it-.corpora ted under the laws of Pennsylvania' in .1874. From time to time new developments have suggested an increase in the capital stock and Mr. Keely proposed not long ago that, it be enlarged to 250,000 shares, 100,000 of winch were to go to him. This reorganization is now being arranged, and whatever shares Mrs. Moore acquires r.nd,,r it will go to Mr. As tor when this increase is efj.'octe !, if the ponding arrangements between.

of the Interior has decided a case between the settlers of Oklahoma territory and the territory which deprives the former of hmds they settled upon when that country was opened by presidential proclamation.

The land involved aggregates 13,520 acres on the Kickapoo reservation. Under the act of congress opening the lands there was a provision that the territory should have the selection of school indemnity lands, which was not. to be taken up by settlers. The territory made its selections just prior to the opening of the reservation and too late for the settlers to ascertain what htnds
