COLUMBUS, Nov. 7. With a plurality of 50.000 and two-thirds of both branches of the legislature, McKinley has won the most decisive victory recorded in Ohio eince the civil war. It has been won on national issues. Although McKinley was running for re-election as governor, he made state affairs secondary to protection and honest money in all hi3 speeches, numbering 110. It would not have been a surprise two weeks ago, but after the action of congress there seemed to have been such reaction that the overwhelming vote is a surprise. The democrats did not allow the contest to go by default, but made a most vigorous fight with haimonious working forces. Ex-Governor Campbell canvassed the state for Lawrence T. Neal all last week and the democratic committee was hopeful after congress reached decisive action. The republican managers would have expected Puch results two weeks ago, but they were astonished .tonight. Governor McKinley was not surprised at the result. He has exacted it all along and felt confident that the impressions of the change of conditions would not be overcome by the campaign efforts for reaction. The weather was pleasant all over the state and there was a full vote of over 800,000. The decisive results of former years have been because of the small vote, those of one party or the other not turning out. But the . voters were out today all over the state, and McKinley has a majority over all, with democratic, prohibitionist and populist tickets opposed to him. This is the first majority over all any state candidate has had since Foster's election just after Garfield's death, in 18S1. Blaine had a majority in 1SS4, but t!ie republican state ticket then had only a plurality. Last year the democrats elected the presidential elector and republican plurality was then 1,072. McKinley's plurality in 1891 was 21.511. In 18S0 the republicans had 10.000 plurality and In 1SS3 the democrats elected Governor Campbell by 10,872, when there was a small vote. "With the result so decisive, the figuring on district and county tickets has not been so close as in closer years, but it Is conceded that the republicans have gained in districts and counties everywhere by the local tickets being carried through with the vote for McKinley. The republicans are apprehensive of one part of their victory. The legislature elected today does not elect a United States senator and it Is over two-thirds republican, the strongest since the war. With such a large working majority they fear such legislation by city members as may lead to defeat two years hence, when another senator is to be selected that choose Senator Rrice'g successor. "To General Manager Associated Press: "At 11:30 I desire to change the figures made earlier. We have carried Ohio for McKinley by 60,000 to 75.000 plurality and both branches of the legislature by more than two-thirds majority. "CHARLES DICK, "Chairman Republican State Committee." No more doubt being held even by opponents, the headquarters are being abandoned and meetings held nominating McKinley for president in speeches by Boutelle, Dolliver, Hoar, Chairman Dick and others. Chairman Seward has no estimates, but claims that the rural vote will reduce present claims. He does not claim anything on state or legislative tickets, but says it is an "oft year." and the party in power has been held responsible for everything. Before 9 o'clock the overflow from republican headquarters rushed into the state house and took Governor McKinley by storm. McKinley would not talk on the results and sali it would not do to estimate the extent of the result till after midnight when rural precincts could be compared with those of the towns and cities. Chairman Seward of the democratic state committee was seen after midnight. He had no statement to make except that if the present rate of democratic losses continued the complete returns would show a plurality of 70.000 for McKinley. Chairman Seward was at the time figuring with Col. W. A. Taylor, democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, and other democratic candidates and managers who are concerned In the concession of some of the offices, they laughingly seconding Real's motion to make it unanimous. CINCINNATI, Nov. 7. Four hundred precincts give McKinley 7,3Dr., Neal 47,934, populist 1.064, prohibitionist 8,455.

Chairman Dick of the republican state committee at 11 p. m. had received unofficial returns from the eighty-eight counties in the state and gives results as follows: I.ast year forty-five counties gave republican pluralities to the amount of 4G.510; fort-three counties gave Cleveland pluralities of 43,438, making Harrison's net pluralit 1.072. This ear McKinley had pluralities in sixty-two of the eighty-eight counties giving him press pluraltles of 101,603. Neal had pluralities in twenty-six counties giving hm gross pluralities of 21.12",, making McKinley's net plurality 80.405. The populists have slightly increased their vote of last year, when they had a total vote of 16.000. The prohibitionists have fallen off from the vote of last year, when they had 26,000, and it is estimated at headquarters that they will have about twenty thousand votes each. Governor McKinley was asked by the Associated Press to give his opinion as to the causes which led to the result, but positively declined to make any statement on that point, CINCINNATI, Nov. Official vote of Hamilton county on governor: Total vote cast, 74,840; McKinley, republican, 42.230; Neal, democrat, 31,390; Macklin, prohibition, 431; Bracken, people's, 729.

While the ballot boxes are still securely sealed up and official figures on the election are not forthcoming interested parties have figured out the returns, and the following pluralities will very closely approximate the official figures. They are for the county: McKinley, 651; Douglass, 540; Gregg. 412; Met calf, 440; Thomas. 5S9; Sosman. 546; Holderman, 400; Baird, 675; Brown, 797. The gain for the republican ticket is simply unprecedented. CLEVELAND, Nov. 8. Complete returns from this (Cuyahoga) county show that McKinley received 2.639 more votes than were cast for Harrison last fall, while Neal received 9,293 less than Cleveland got In 1S92. Thi3 makes a republican gain of 11,934. McKinley's plurality In the county is 9,033. The populists cast 2,450. a gain of 1,433. CLEVELAND, Nov. 8. The Leader nominates Governor McKinley for the presidency In 1S96, and says: "The Leader has hoisted the name of Governor McKinley at the head of its columns for the consideration of the republican party of the United States, not because he is a son of Ohio, but because we believe him to most fully represent the all-Important national Interests that will be involved in the campaign of 1S96. The momentous campaign which closed Tuesday night was waged upon the great issue of protection of McKinlevism." It says McKinley is backed for the presidency by 100,000 majority of the voters of Ohio, and concludes as follows: "It Is believed throughout Ohio that this is the meaning of Tuesday's verdict and we believe that the republicans of the nation will so accept it." THE LAXDSLIDE IX SEW YORK. Maynard Ilea ten hy 100,OOA Republican Mayor in Rrooklyn. NEW YORK. Nov. 8. 1 a. m. One of the most peculiar campaigns In the history of the state was closed at sundown this evening and it is safe to say that the democratic managers are not more surpiresd at the results than are the republicans. The dominant Issue in all portions of the state has been ring rule and the republicans In New York City, Brooklyn. Albany and Buffalo have been greatly assisted by the organized efforts of Independent democrats. Isaac H. Maynard. the candidate on the democratic ticket for Judge of the court of appeals, against whom the Independent democrats have waged war most bitter and unrelenting, has been surprisingly and overwhelmingly defeated. In New York City he ran 35,000 behind his ticket; In Brooklyn over 18,000, and In Erie county several thousand. Almost without exception the returns from every part of the state show that he was heavily scratched; even ten of "Boss" McKane's retainers at Coney Island scratched him. The result at this time seems to be that he has been defeated by a plurality close In the neighborhood of 100,000. Practically complete returns from many of the counties of the state and scattering returns from the others indicate that the republicans have elected their entire state ticket and that they will have a good working majority in the next legislature. In Brooklyn the local camnalc-n van fought most bitterly. Mayor Boody, who was renominated by the democrats was opposeJ by the Young men's Independent democratic club of Brooklyn most fiercp ly and the republican candidate. Charles A. Schieren, was Indorsed, with the re sult that the democratic majority of 29 1 000 at the last election has been com pletely overturned and a republican mayor elected ry about fifteen thousand, William E. Gaynor, the prominent demo crat, who for the past two years has led In the fight against Bows McLaughlin and his ring was nominated by the republic ana for supreme court Judge In the sec ond district, with the result of a 20.000 majority m his favor. The local contest in New York City was very Interesting, the republicans making but small efforts In behalf of their ticket. The complete returns for the day show the election of the entire Tammany ticket by majorities ranging between 67.000 and 68,000. ALBANY, Nov. 7. Tho election hero was passably quiet, only one arrest being made for repeating. There were two email one, In which police Interference was necessary. The republicans seemed entirely Inactive, and the result Is that Albany county has returned to Its normal democratic majority of 4.0OQ. The ticket was cut very little and the Inde

pendent democrats withdrew early in the day. Judge Maynard was cut but little In comparison to what was expected. The democratic ticket will receive an average majority of 3,500, Judge Mayna.d running behind about v 500. Arno J. Parker (dem.) is elected to the senate. Assemblymen elected are: First dit!" t, William Lasch (dem.): second district. W. Carroll (dem.); third district. Jam. s Brennan (dem.); fourth district. Curtis M. Douglas (dem.). The district's constitutional delegates are: A. Banks (dem.), Erwin Count ryman (dem.). R. A. Rogers (dem.). William KInnev (dem.), and 1). P. Kerwin (dem ). BUFFALO. N. Y., Nov. 7. Indications are that the entire republican county ticket Is elected. Untre (dem.) In Thirtieth senatorial district is defeated. Parson (rep.) carries Thirty-first senatorial district. OSWEGO, N. Y.. Nov. 7. Oswego City, which usually gives a democratic majority of 500, goes republican by five votes, for the first time since 1SS8. MA LONE, N. Y., Nov. 7. Complete returns from the eight election districts of this town give Palmer 610 majority, the largest republican majority ever given in this town. Maynard does not run even with his ticket. NEW YORK, Nov. 8. Latest returns from all parts of the state show that the republican victory is fully as great as the most enthusiastic of the party's leaders have claimed. Bartlett's majority for judge of the court of appeals, over Maynard is, in round figures, 89,700. Gen. Palmer's majority for secretary of state is 35,000. Of the sixty counties Maynard secures a majority In only seven, viz: Albany. Chemung, New York. Renssa-

laer, Schoharie and Seneca. He carried New York by about S2.000. Bartlett's largest majorities are In Kinks, 20.000; Erie (President Cleveland's old home), 11,500; Monroe, 8.000, and Chautauqua, 6.000. The smallest majority is in Schenectady, 255. Meyer, the democratic candidate for secretary of state, carries twelve counties, five more than Maynard. The counties which he carried and which go against Maynard are Queens, Meyershome, Richmond, Rockland, Schenectady and Westchester. Meyer's majority in New York county is more than double that of Maynard, viz., 64,975. In Kings his vote is 9,000 more than Maynard's. The total majorities for judge of the court of appeals and secretary of state are as follows: Bartlett, 135,000; Maynard, 45,400; Palmer, 109.600; Meyer, 74.000. The democratic rout in Kingj is complete. Besides the loss of mayor their control of the board of aldermen is .cme. This puts all the power in the hands of their political opponents. RUSSELL DEFEATED HY 30,000. Massachusetts Will Have n Republican Governor for a, Change. BOSTON, Nov. 7. .tho result of the election in Massachusetts today can only be described as a huge political landslide. For the first time in three years the state will have a republican governor and his plurality Is 30,000 at the least. The whole ticket is elected with him and the legislature is solidly republican in both branches. Candid democrats had conceded the defeat of John E. Russell, their candidate for governor, by a small majority, while even the most sanguine republicans would not claim over 15,000 for Greenhalge. The astonishing result is attributed by those democrats who will talk about it to the present industrial depression, aided by the fact that normally a republican state as is always pro-, en by her vote on presidential candidates. The republicans are so jubilant that they care very little about the cause tonight. The day was a beautiful one, and according to tradition, perfect for the bringing out of a heavy republican vote. Early In the day it was seen that a big total vote would be polled and the very first returns that began to come in showed that the republicans were gaining. A very significant report was that from Greenfield, the birthplace of the Hon. John E. Russell, the democratic candidate, where from a democratic plurality of 120 last year Greenhalge got a plurality of 132. BOSTON, Nov. 7. Two hundred and twenty towns out of 322 in the state received at the Associated Press office indicate a majority for Greenhalge, republican, greater than 19,000 predicted at 8 o'clock. The gains are uniform and if continued will give Greenhalge more than 25,000. NEWTON. Mass., Nov. 7. The vote of this city is: Greenhalge, 2,356; Russell, 1,263. This Is a republican gain of 554 over last year. BOSTON, Nov. 7. Two hundred and forty towns show net democratic loss 13,207. Boston returns from entire city except one precinct give Greenhalge 29,005, Russell 38.752, republican net gain 3,811. BOSTON. Nov. 8. The result of the election in Massachusetts today can only be described as a huge political landslide. For the first time in three years the state will have a republican governor and his plurality is 30,000 at the least. The whole ticket is elected with him and the legislature is solidly republican in both branches. The most sanguine republicans had not claimed over 15,000 for Greenhalge. The astonishing result Is attributed by those democrats who will talk about it to the present Industrial depression, aided by the fact that Massachusetts is normally a republican state. The prohibitionist vote did not differ from last year's figures, but the- populists managed to increase their vote 100 per cent. The socialist labor vote was Insignificant. Ql'IKT IX rKWSVIiV.lMA. The Republican Ticket Elected by the I'nnnl Majorities. PHILADELPHIA," Nov. 7. The election today clcsed the quietest political campaign in the state of Pennsylvania in years. In a few counties In the eastern part of the state local issues have excited Interest outside of party contests and lively struggles over the common pleas Judgeship in a half dozen districts brought out an exceptionally large vote. This was particularly true in Lackawanna, Schuylkill, Bucks and the Carbon mining districts. These are all more or less democratic section., with the possible exception of Lackawanna, which is pretty evenly divided politically, and Blair, which is strongly republican. On the eastern part of the state the greatest interest centered around the contests In Monroe corston districts, where a bitter fight has been waged against administration and antladminlstration democratic factions. PITTSBURG, Nov. 7. The election in Allegheny county was the hottest in years. Ten tickets were in the field for county officers and a determined fight was made on the regular republican ticket, but their organization was the best they ever had and the entire ticket, with possibly one exception, was elected by pluralities ranging from 6,000 to 10,00 on the state ticket,. Fell, republican supreme Judge, and Jackson, republican Ptate treasurer, receive about 15.000 plurality. This evening excitement was Intense, but the returns came In early, and being generally favorable to the republicans, the crowds about the newspaper offices soon retired and not long after midnight the streets had assumed their normal condition. LANCASTER. Nov. 7. Chairman Seyfort of the republican county committee estimates republican majority In the county over 10,000. About one-fourth of the district heard from with two pre

cincts in Lancaster city missing. Republican majority gain 661. Jackson leads Fell slightly. PITTSBURG, Nov. 7. At midnight the following counties in western Pennsylvania had been heard from with estimated results: Allegheny count y, 15,000 republican plurality; Venango county, 600 plurality for republicans; Lawrence county, 2,000 republican plurality; Cambria county, 500 republican plurality; P.Iair countv, 2,300 republican plurality. PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 7. Lancaster county, estimated republican majority, 10,000; republican gain, about 200. Snyder county, estimated republican majority, 700; about same majority a3 in 1891. Indiana county, republican chairman estimates republican majority 2,000. about same as in 1S91. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 7. Republican. Chairman Huntingden claims republicans carry county by 1,400. Berks countv estimated democratic by 5,200. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 7. Bedford county republican chairman estimates republican majority in county 500; republican gain of about 400. PITTSBURG, Nov. 7. Returnes received at midnight from Allegheny county indicate the election of the entire republican county ticket by pluralities running from 6.000 to 10,000. Fell (rep) for supreme judge and Jackson (rep) for state treasurer, 15.000 plurality. PITTSBURG. Nov. 7. John Dalzell, republican, representing the Twenty-second Pennsylvania congressional district, started a presidential boom for the Hon. Thomas B. Reed at a meeting of republican ward-workers at old city hall tonight. The hall, which seats about two thousand, had been engaged by the county committee for the exclusive use of the beads of the various district organizations and it was crowded to the doors. Congressman Dalzell was called on f'T a speech, and after congratulating the republicans on the general result of the election he launched out Into a eulogy of Congressman Reed, in the course of which he said he hoped In common with thousands of others to see the day when the Hon. Thomas B. Reed would be elevated to the highest position In the gift of the people. The applause following this statement lasted several minutes. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 8. At midnight, with full returns from almost every county in the state, it looks as though the republican majority on the state ticket would not be less than 130,000. The official vote on almost every instance has far exceeded the estimates of the most sanguine republicans. Allegneny county, for Instance, has been down on the republican column for 20,000 majority. It gives over twentyseven thousand. Armstrong, which was estimated at 1,700. gives 2,000; Deaver, estimated at 1,500, gives 1.723; Blair, estimated at 2.300, gives 3,106; Delaware, estimated at 3,300, gives 3,800; Westmoreland, estimated at 800, gives 2,500; Huntington, estimated at 1,200, gives 1,500; Mercer, estimated at 950, gives 2,013; Center county, which had been conceded to the democrats by 700, only gave them 11 majority. SUNBURY, Pa., Nov. 8. To the surprise of politicians of both parties, Northumberland county has gone republican by 500 majority. The county has always been an old reliable one In the democratic column with a majority of a thousand.

HONORS KVKV AT CHICAGO. Judge Gary Doubtless Elected Democrats Choose Commissioner. CHICAGO, Nov. 7, The election today seems to be about a stand-off. At midnight the returns indicated that the republicans had elected the entire judicial ticket and that the democrats had secured the county commissioners inside the city. The Judicial ticket has heretofore been on a non-partisan basis, but this year the democrats broke away and nominated a ticket of their own and the republican seem to have elected the judicial candidate. The great fight has been over the election of Judge Gary, who presided at the trial of the anarchists. At the time Governor Altgeld pardoned the anarchists he made a severe attack upon Gary, and the light has been one of Gary against the state macjdne with the result that Gary seems not only to have polled the full republican strength, but to have drawn on the democratic vote as well. In almost every precinct in the city and county he was from 5 to 10 per cent, ahead of the balance of the ticket. The general results shows decided republican gains over the presidential election of a year ago. CHICAGO, Nov. 7. Two hundred and twenty-five city precincts give a democratic plurality of 1.133. County vote so far shows republican plurality of 1.403. One hundred and fifty-nine precincts show a democratic plurality of 1,665. The republican majority In the county outside of the city is estimated at 3,000. Returns are slow. Republicans Gain In Jersey. NEW YORK, Nov. 8. The election in New Jersey was for eight members of the state senate and an entire house of assembly, sixty members. Today's elections were to fill the places of one republican and seven democrats. They resulted in the choice of seven republicans and one democrat, a republican gain of six. This will make the senate stand eleven republicans and ten democrats, the republican majority being one, against eleven democrats last year. The new house of assembly will apparently contain thirty-seven republicans and twenty-three democrats, the republican majority being fourteen against a democratic majority of eighteen last year. JERSKT CITY. Nov. 7. Cumberland county republican chairman, from partial returns, estimates Austin (rep.) for assembly. First district. 215 majority; Glaspell (rep.), second district, 251 majority. Cumberland county indications are election of Austin and Glespell (reps.) for assembly by small majorities. Middlesex county, partial vote for sheriff gives democratic majority 600. For assemblyman. First and Second districts, democratic majority; Third district, republican majority. FREEHOLD, N. J., Nov. 7. Republican ticket, James A. Rardley of Asbury Park", for senator; D. D. Denise of Freehold, William J. Leonard of Atlantic Highlands, C. L. Waters of Seabright probably elected. All anti-race tXB-Cft CAPE MAY, N. J., Nov. 7. The entire republican ticket in Cape May county has been elected, Including Edmund I Ross for assembly. Senator Miller (dem) holds over for another term. Kentucky Voted Too. LOUISVILLE, Nov. 7. Full returns from the election throughout Kentucky will not be available for several days, but so far as the reports have been received It Is pretty certain that the relative standing of the political parties has not changed. The only elections of interest were for members of the general assembly, which will vote for United States senator. Senator William Lindsay was elected last winter over Governor Brown and Congressmen McCreary and Stone. Lindsay then had 60 per cent, of the democratic caucus votes. In the primaries fully. 80 per cent, of the democratic nominees for both house and senate were pledged to Lindsay, and are all friendly to Senator Blackburn, who will stand for re-election two years later. The Kentucky legislature will be democratic on Joint ballot by about four to one. The only Issues on this election were factional, the dominant faction of the democracy

being the Cleveland party as opposed to the wing which supported Mr. Henry Watterson in his opposition to Cleveland's nomination. In this city Tyler (democrat) was re-elected for mayor by about 3,500. majority. The democrats elect their entire ticket. The election was one of the quietest in the history of the city. LOUISVILLE. Nov. 8. There Is no way of making a comparison of the vote In Kentucky this year with that of preceding elections as no state officer was - voted for. The democrats have gained probably ten legislators, but this is partly due to the redisricting of the state by the last legislature. It Is certain that the aggregate vote of the counties will be much smaller than in the election two years ago. In some counties the votes cast Tuesday were not more than one-half the usual number. This loss comes mainly from the democratic side. The populists have leen parctlcally wiped out. The demo, crats will have at least 105 members of the legislature out of a total of 133. Australian Lnn In Kansas. TOFEKA, Nov. 7. The Australian ballot system was used in Kansas today for the first time, and though there was

some friction in localities whore the law was not thoroughly understood, on the whole the election passed off smoothly. The vote for this year for various reasons is not nearly so large as iVi 1S;2, when 324,886 votes were polled. In the first place, It is an "off year;" then it is estimated that fully 25 per cent, of the voters in the western part of the state have emigrated on account of failure of crops, and besides there was a considerable exodus from all sections to the Cherokee strip. Finally many voters, through Ignorance or timidity, would not venture into the booths under the new law. By common consent the vote today wras compared with that of two years ago, when the same county officers were elected. The vote of that year was as follows: Republican. 132,054: populist, 114,447; democratic. 28.815; total, 275.344. The republicans won 277 of the county offices voted for, the populists 127 and the democrats twentv. . KANSAS CITY, Nov. 7. In Wyandotte county, the most populous locality in the state, the entire republican ticket, with exception of surveyor and register of deeds, is elected. The complete returns indicate that the poulists held their own as compared with the vote two years ago. No more than half the registered vote was polled. On account of a split In the party few democrats voted. KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Nov. 7. Franklin, Butler, Brown, Osage and Geary counties in Kansas all carried by the republicans. Reno and Sedgwick counties have gone republican. Sedgwick, of which Wichita Is the county seat, was carried by populists last year. The entire republican ticket is elected in Douglass county by majorities 'anging from 700 to 1,000. KANSAS CITY, Nov. 7. Meager returns from Kansas Indicate a great falling off in the populist vote. C-rokee county, which gave 1,700 majoi y for the populists in 1SH2, and Sumner county, another populist stronghold, has been carried by the republicans. Crowley county. In which the vote was very close in 1S92, has also gone republican. TOPEKA, Nov. 8. As only county ofliceis and district judges vere elected in Kansas this year it will be impossible for several days yet to make comparisons showing party gains and losses. The returns Indicate that the poulists have lorit ground, but they claim that when the rurp.l districts are heard from the figures will show that they have kt least held their own. The republicans have probably elected seven judges, the populists five and the democrats one. The republicans claim to have secured most of the offices in at least seventyfive of the 105 counties in the state and to have elected nine of the thirteen judges. Frank L. Brown, secretary of the Kansas republican league, says from a careful examination . of the reports received at his office he Is convinced the republicans have carried eighty counties and made a relative gain over last j ear. He thinks the populists will show a. gain over 1S91 on account of the d?morallzed condition of the democratic party. Chairman Breldenthal of the people's party state committee claims his party will ehow heavy relative gains over 1S91. Majority In Virginia May Reach 50,000 RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 7. Revised figures of the election returns, as made up by the dispatchs from two-thirds of the state, show that the democrats have carried Virginia by a majority of not less than 25,000, and that O'Farrell runs behind his ticket several thousand votes. In the senate the democrats will have at least thirty-five out of the forty composing that body and eighty-five out of the hundred members of the house. The prohibition ticket got the largest vote they ever received in the state. RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 8. Returns thus far of the election held in this state yesterday have all been reported by majorities, and therefore it is impossible to tell even approximately the number of votes cast. Two things are certain, however; one is that the democrats did not poll their vfsual strength and the other is that the republicans did not support the populists. Official and unofficial returns indicate that the democrats have carried twenty-three senatorial districts, the populists one, and one district is still in doubt. The democrats have fifteen members of the senate who hold over. Of the members elected to the house of delegates the democrats will probably have ninety out of the 100 elected. Indications lead to belief that the democratic majority in the state will reach 50,000. Lfturiftllde in Ion a. DES MOINES, Nov. 7. The election In Iowa will go down as a republican landslide. The gains have been steady all night and average about six to the precinct. Retruns from more than onefourth of the state ar"e now in and the ratio of increase can hardly be materially changed. Returns as to prohibition and populist votes are scattering, not enough to base good estimates on. Prohibitionists will probaly not poll over 12.000, doubling their vote of last year, and the populists 25,000, showing only a gain of 5.000. Chairman Blythe of the republicans claims the election of the whole republican ticket by upward of 30,000. Chairman Fuller, democrat committee, concedes election to republicans by probably 20,000. In legislative districts republicans have made many gains and are now certain of working majorities In both houses assuring a republican successor to United States Senator Wilson. Republicans Win in Detroit. DETROIT, Nov. 7. The Free Press (democratic) concedes the re-election of Plngree for mayor by 1,000 majority, and Foster, republican, for city clerk. According to the Free Press the next city council will be composed of twentyone republicans and eleven democrats, a gain of two and possibly three democrats. DETROIT, Nov. 8. Complete returns from yesterday's election show that the entire republican municipal ticket has been successful. Plngree, republican, for mayor, is elected for the third time by a plurality cf 9.700, and the balance of the ticket Is carried by pluralities ranging from 1,000 to 4.500. The democrats made a net gain of three in the board of aldermen, but the republicans will still have a large majority. Levi T. Griffin, demo-

erat, Is elected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Congressman Chipman of the First district by a plurality of 1.700.

Trleplionrd to tbe President. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. Secretaries Gresham, Lamont, Hoke Smith and Murton received the election returns at the white house in Private Secretary Thurber's room. A special wire delivered the bulletins. Such as were indicative of results were telephoned the president at Woodley. The members of the cabinet at the white house attribute! the results to the business depression of the past several months and the statement was made that this was the worst possible time for the democrats tu have an election while so many r-ople were suffering from conditions that were not political but wholly extraneous. Secretary Calisle is out of the city and Secretaries Herbert and Bissell received the returns at their private residences. Mixed Result In Vtah. SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. Nov. S. Election returns from all over the territory indicate a mixed result, with large republican gains on the average. This city elects two liberals and one demoerat to the legislative council. The democrats probably have five of that body, the republicans five. The liberals elect six members of the lower house in this city. The indications are that the other eighteen will be pretty evenly divided letween the republicans and democrats. In this city a coalition of republicans and democrats elect municipal ticket except treasurer and ten of the council. The liberals elect five. Ogden was carlied by the republicans on both the municipal and legislative tickets. Few Returns at Denver. DENVER. Nov. 7. Today's election was for county officers throughout the state. In this (Arapahoe) county there were eleven tickets in the fild, so the returns will be very late. Twelve precincts of 210 in Arapahoe are favorabla to Spencr-r (independent citizens) for sheriff, as against Burchmell (rep., A. P. A.) These two candidates are in the lead. Pueblo county has gone republican. The straight populist, so far as heard from, shows loss. Populist Gains In lirnnko. OMAHA, Nov. 7. Returns from the state are coming In slowly. The scattering returns received indicate republican losses on the head of the ticket and populist gains. The race between Harrison (republican) and Holcomb (populist) will be very close. The result in this county will determine the outcome in the state, and the vote here will not be counted before morning. Bettis (republican) has been elected mayor over Belford (democrat) by 2,500 plurality. Maryland Still Trne. BALTIMORE, Nov. 8. The democrats have carried this state by 20,000 plurality.

The Staats-Zeltunsr Scores the Xew York Machine Vigorously. NEY YORK, Nov. 7. Commenting on the result of the election, the New York Staats Zeitung will say tomorrow: "The democratic machine in our state has done its work thoroughly. It has wiped out last year's majority of nearly fifty thousand votes and delivered the state into the hands of the republicans. It is a terrible defeat for the democratic party, but will probably be a blessiirg in disguise. It was better to defeat the party in this relatively unimportant election and in this way compel it to reform itself than to enable its present miserable leaders to continue upon the road followed of late years. It is certainly worthy of notice that Maynard was most heavily cut in the three cities with the strongest German-American population. It can be said that the Germans in New York, Buffalo and Brooklyn formed the nucleus of the opposition to Maynard, in whose nomination they saw an attack against the highest interests of the commonwealth, against self-government and the whole spirit of our institutions. "Yesterday was a day of honor for the German-Americans in this state, and their victory will encourage their countrymen throughout the United States to defend the liberty of the people, selfgovernment and honest administration against all machines, which, parading as political organizations, form conspiracies against the most sacred rights of the people and produce conditions which discredit our republic In the eyes of the civilized world. The Iniluence cf the German-American citizens upon the political development of our country has never been demonstrated in a more practical manner, and every politician, of whatever nationality he may be, will boldly admit this. The result of yesterday's elections furnishes us with serious lessons, and the future of the democratic party will depend upon the question whether it is able to heed these lessons and their teachings." NEW YORK, Nov. 8. The Zeitung will say: "The victory In New York is complete. The reaction against the democratic party is against all that it represents and embodies. None of its Infamies has availed to save It from public condemnation, but each has added weight to the blow. To that particular faction of democratic politicians which is in control of the party organization which caused Maynard, which fed on his infamy and lifted him to the highest public station which empowered by his crime, tried to rivet itself in control of the state by laws that offered a bounty for villainy; the faction which in Erie, in New Y'ork and in Kings practiced every form of electoral rascality that Ingenuity and long experience could devise to this criminal gang the arm of popular indignation has delivered a shattering blow. "Detested by all who hold the honor of New Y'ork In dear esteem. It is now branded and pushed away. The long reign of democratic .knavery has come to an end here at last, and none too soon for the safety, not less than the honor of the state." Record "Notable republican victories were won at the polls yesterday in various states. Chief of the causes U the serious financial dlturbances of the present year. The belief that the democratic promise of tariff changes has been at least in part to blame for these evil, doubtless influenced many voters." CINCINNATI, Nov. 7. The Enquirer will say: "This Is a year for cyclones." The Commercial Gazette will say: "The Ohio idea and the Ohio man have won a victory the results of which are

so tremendous and portentious that they cannot be summed up this morning. Ohio has so emphatically indorsed the principle of protection for American Industries that the issue of '96 is now unequivocally and distinctly cut out," BOSTON. Nov. 7. The Globo meets defeat as follows: "In the language of a famous hero, 'We have met the enemy and we are

ineirs. ueyond reasonable question it was a condition, not a candidate, that made possible the result of the contest yesterday over the guveraship of Massachusetts. The calamity cry urged In, season and out of season undoubtedly had its effect. The senate of the United States a senate with a democratic majoritymust be charged, we regret to say, with the chief responsibility in bringing atout a Greenhalge year In Massachusetts." The Post says: "The hostile conditions which the democrats faced In this campaign have been apparent to every Cite. They resembled the conditions which accompanied Cleveland's defeat in lS." ST. LOUIS, Nov. 7. Globe-Democrat: "The vi.-t'.ry in New York is jeculiarly significant and gratifying. While thl nomination of Maynard undoubtedly hurt tl- wh'le democratic ticket It seems evident from the vote that even with an unexceptionable candidate In his place democracy would have been beaten." The Republic "Disippolntmcns over offices and the discontent of the jeoplo ov r commercial losses and slack employment have operated, against the party in power. iY'pulists have reaped ths beneft la some places and republicans in others. The democratic party is not weaker than last yar. This year's elections are the accidents of a season," LONDON. Nov. 8. The Chrnnlrla says: "To Englishman the chief interest In elections In the United States Is in Ohio and in New York, where the infamous Tammany ring is the main factor in the tight." Tbe Chronicle says it Is grieved to be obliged to admit that Senator Hill and Governor Flower are openly working for the election of Judtse Maynard and justifying Maynard's past disgraceful conduct on tuo ground of party expediency." PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 8. The Enquirer says: "Is there a democrat in the face of these facts who can have the boldness to proclaim that the republican victory is meaningless? Is there cne who can explain away the republican, majority? Ohio has declared for protection. There is no other lesson taught." NEW YORK, Nov. 8. The Advertiser says: "Yesterday's state elections show a remarkable revulsion of öentiment since last year a reflex "tidal wave, at tt were. The conspicuous feature of th election was the overwhelming defeat of Maynxrd. th.3 democratic candidate? for juige of the court of appeals, and th? rebuke to Maynardlsm which it im-, plied. The Insolent attempt of David B. Hill, Richard Croker, Governor Flower and Lieutenant-Governor Sheeban to foist upon the people as ajudga of our highest court a creature who was guilty of the crime of stealing election returns in order that democrats might secure the state legislature, has met with the response that it deserved fron patriotic- Americans." CHICAGO, Nov. 8 Chicago papers comment as follows on the election: Inter Ocean "It looivs as though there has len a landslide. In New. Massachusetts. Iowa, Ohio and Pennsylvania the republican candi latcs have been elected by majorities the magnitude of which cannot be determined at the time of writing this, but which are emphatic In rebuke cf the democratic free trada policy, democratic pension-hating policy, and "of the democratic policy of selling national offices to the highest bidder and of paying election return robbers by gifts of places on the supreme bench of a great state." NASHVILLE, Tenn.. Nov. 7. The American will say editorially in tho morning: "Hard times, which are always ascribed to the dominant party, and lack of courage on the part of a democratic senate caused the defeat of the democrats in the state elections yesterday. While the elections were held in an off year, had the senate acted promptly upon the financial question of prime moment the result in some states would have ben different. Bad nominations in others gave the republicans a decided advantage. Notwithstanding this setback if democrats will stand by Mr. Cleveland the lost ground can and will be recovered." NEW YORK, Nov. 8. In regard to yesterday's election ths Evening World says editorially: "In Brooklyn, as in the state, the result has not been a democratic defeat and a republican victory. New York is still democratic Brooklyn is tili democratic. In the state and in our sister city the victory has been won by honest and sincere democrats over thosf who have injured the party by objectionable methods and bad nominations. Democracy will be all the stronger in the future from the purification it has received and from the proofs Its adherents have riven of a determinatior to promote good government and to put only honest men into positions of public trust." The Evening Sun (dem.) says: "The defeat of the democralio party throughout the country must be as sumed to be- due rather to democratlo defections than to republican gains. The whole elections have turned upon national issues. Yet the people have voted heretofore- to reform the unconstitutional tarift in ' the Interests ot those who wished to reform it In ihn direction cf a tariff for revenue only.' The Commercial Advertiser says: "The victory means that the repub lican party is not dead. It means that bossism will not be tolerated In New, York City, Brooklyn, Gravesend, Tiuffalo. Jersey City and Cincinnati. It means that the republican party ir tins state can tiect auj fcou. ivuin lican to tha rovernorshlp next year. If means that the people of the United States are against the change,' lc means that protection is still the paramount issue and that any good republican from McKinley down can bs elected to the presidency in It means that fearless magistrates will ba sustained by the people, whether In Chicago or Brooklyn, and it means that David B. Hill has discovered the limit of the forbearance of the people of the) state ot New York." The Post says: "At last the people of thi? state fcava had a free and untrammeled opportunity to express their opinion of David BenI nett Hill. 'Blue Eyed Billy" Sheehan, Edward Murphy, Governor Flower, Croker and McLaughlin, and the kind o politics which they represent. The issuer was plain and the candidate embodied clearly and completely the political rrin ciples and practices of his backers. May nard stood, as they have stood for eighl years in the state, for criminal politics, , To emphasize the meaning of his can I didacy Sheehan and McLaughlin's sub loss, McKane, made special demonstra I tions of what criminal politics was by ' organizing the criminals and leading them In open violation of the laws. Th people had no excuse for not compre hending the issue that was presented, and their verdict leaves no doubt as tc their capacity for forming an elegant Judgment "The rsult of New York, of the elections outsld where special and pecii existed, growing out ot llr.r conditions the nomination ascribed mainly of Maynard, must be to the financial pani.j of last summer and the consequent hard times. "What next? Evidently the democrats must go straight forward and do that which they were commanded to do when Mr. Cleveland and the present congress . wcro elected,"
