The republican;; have carried New York state by estimated pluralities ranging from 130.000 to 130,000. These figures represent the probable plurality of Levi F. Morton, rep., for governor, over Davil David 15. Hill, dem., based upon the vote of New York City and Brooklyn complete, and returns from more than one-half of the election districts above the Harlem river. The total vote for the two leading candidates is considerably In excess of that polled for Flower and Falsett for governor in 1S91. In addition to which is the votes cast this year for Everett P. Wheeler, ind. dem., which will exceed 20,000. The tremendous republican sweep in the city and state, it is estimated, has elected twenty-three republican congressman, a gain of eight over the present representation in congress. It was the expressed belief of those who were conducting the campaign for the democrats in the state that the depreciated majorities lelow the Harlem for the party there would be offset by increased majorities above the river's bank for the democracy. The most .sanguine expected that the democratic party, with Senator Hill at its head, would show recuperation from the vote given for Maynard in 1893. In place of all anticipated results comes a sweep of such proportions and from every quarter beyond the highest claims made by the republicans from pluralities ranging from 83,000 to 120.000 in the district below the Harlem for th democratic party, the republican party turns the city vote into 20.000 plurality for its state candidates. In all the democratic estimates given on the eve of the election it wa3 contended tb.it the democratic plurality below th? Harlem would be at lean 35,000. Th surprises arc not confined to this change of votes, but an analysis shows that Senator Hill will run behind even the vote of Maynard. whil In the state he fell bei nv the vote oast for Governor Flower in 1S91. An analysis of such figures as are obtainable tonight shows that the republican party alone gained by the increased registration, for Mr. Morton's vote in all the upper county districts shows large gains over the Fa-ssett vote of 1S91. In the cities this Fame increase in registration appears to have been detrimental to the democrats. The vote in Albany county was one of the many surprises of the election. For years Albany county, on state or national issues, has been looked upon as a reliable democratic stronghold, good for from 1.000 to 2.00) democratic majority. The democratic managers, in view of this fact and that it is also the home of Senator Hill, looked for a majority not less than 2.300. They felt confident that Senator Hill could be jciven a handsome vote, as Judge Maynard carried the county by a normal democratic mijority, notwithstanding the republican trend In other portion of the state. In Mmro, with its republican city of Rochester, th? natural republican plurality was almst doubled, late figures giving Morton 6,00!), where in 1831 the same county only give to Fassett 3.)0. Rensselaer county, the horn? of senator Murphy, held as closely to the democritlo normal vote as any in the state. The county only fell cfT about eight hundred, while Its neighbor, Albany, lost about twenty-six hundred. Erie county repeated its record cf lat year by giving the usual republican majorities. Otsego county doubled for Morton the majority It gave to Harrison and trebled that it gave to Fassett. Chemung held pretty closely to it3 normal vote, especially Li Elmira. City. St. Lawrence county crawled up over two thousand on its Fassett vote In favor of Morton. Westchester falls into line with a big majority for Morton and Niagara countytrebled its Fassett plurality. The results of the sweeping victory are more far-reaching than simply the election of the republican state ticket. While the returns are very incomplete on the election amendments. It is highly p-ob-able, according to the first returns, that all of them are adopted. The percentage of loss as compared with the vote for the head of the ticket Is not nearly so large as It was supposed to be and the result therefore is that the legislature will confist of fifty senators and 150 assemblymen, that pool selling on races will be prohibited and that a new judiciary gjs-

t tcm will be adopted. The weep also rial count to determine the result. The j means that t or the first time In many republicans are jubilant and claim Wlli years the republicans will have control of son'3 defeat, but the returns from the I the state legislature and at the same time luck counties cannot be gotten for a

The nominal mijority of 60,000 usually polled by that organization in New York City has been obliterated and an opposition non-partisan majority of 40.000 to 4.r..000 has been piled up, making the net opposition pain more than 100.000. Never since 171. the year lit which the revelations concerning the operations of Tweed were made, has there been such an opposition arrayed against Tammany, and the returns tonight show that a severe blow has been struck at the foundation f the most powerful local organization i:i the country. Returns from New York City coinp'.ete Five Hill 127.700; ..Morton, 123.29:. Hill., plurality, 4,401. Mayor Grant, dem., 111.237; Strong:, rep., 152.691. Strong's plurality, 41.434. John W.

Mr. Grant at S:15 entered the room at police headquarters where Mr. Strong was receiving the returns and congratulated him on his acknowledged victory. Mr. Strong thanked him. Ex-Mayor Grant tonight made the following statement: "I am defeated. On the retirement of ! Mr. Straus I thought It my duty to the democratic party to accept its nomination for mayor of this city. I made my canvass on democratic issues and have gone down with my party. The principles of j the party are essential to the life of the republic. Victories will Im won in the future as they have In the past. It is the duty of all democrats to present a solid front to the common enemy. Democrats never work as well together as in the hour of defeat. All differences will be laid aside and the democratic vote of this city will be preserved as the cornerstone of demo-racy for the presidential contest cf 1S96." Mauley' Congratulation. NEW YORK. Nov. 6. Joseph Manley, chairman republican national executive committee, has sent the following telegram of congratulation: "NEW YORK, Nov. 6. "John H. Babcock. Chairman, Washington: "I heartily congratulate you on the repu'.t of your labors. The victory is perfect and complete from Maines to California. The result In New York is the grandest victory of all. We have laid this day a solid foundation upon which to erect in 1S96 the structure of national victory for protection and prosperity. "J. H. MANLEY." (.ilroy'n lirevity. NEW YORK. Nov. 6. At S o'clock tonight Mayor Gilroy said: "The returns are more eloquent than anything I can say." Wh"n he -n told of the probable defeat of Wilson in West Virginia, he remarked: "That Is good." 11 r.

It Is evident that the public conscience has at last been awakened. We've got ali these people that the reform movement has been lighting Just where they had us." oiiio imi;Ks all liixoiins. The Stute HeiihlicHn by Over tine Hundred ThoiiHiiud. COLUMBUS, O., Nov. C. Ohio h-V broken her record on republican pluralities. The Iarg't plurality heretofore was wie n John Iirough, rsp., for governor, in IStitl. had lOl.OoO over Clement L. Vallandingham, dem., the latter being exiled at th 3 time in Canada. Last year Governor McKinley carried the state by over eighty thuand, but ni such plurality had been previously kn iwn except in the noted Br mgh-Vallandingham canvass, when all the Ohio sjldi-rs in the fields and hospitals of the South voted. At that time over forty thousand soldiers outside of the state voted fir Brougli and less than one thousmd f r Vallandlngham. During the lan twenty years the parties have alternated in carrying the state, the democrats electir-g Governor Bishop in 1S77. Governor Hoadley in 1883 and Governor Campbell in lssi. While the republicans claim a plurality for Secretary of State Taylor of 12",000 to 130.000. the democrats conced.e that the republicans have made large galas over the McKinley vote of last year and pissibly beaten the Brough high-water mark of 1S63. On the basis of the state vote the republicans claim seventeen of the twenty-one congressmen, the present Ohio delegation in congress consisting of eleven democrats and ten repubbcans. Chairman Dick's Claim. COLUMBUS. O.. Nov. 6. At 11 p. m. Chairman Dick gave out the following from republican headquarters: "If the present ratio of republican gains conttnues. the republicans will carry Ohia by at least 125,000. The election of seventeen congressmen Is assured, wltti the other four districts to hear from, in at least two of which the republicans are hopeful." Chairman Thurman, at democartlc state headquarters, states that he does not dispute Chairman Dick's claim and he will not be ourptlsed If the democrats lose all the Ohio districts. Thurman lode( Concession. COLUMBUS. O., Nov. 6. To an Associated Press reporter who visited, the state democratic committee rooms at 10:30 o'clock Chairman Thurman said: "Ohio will give the republicans 120,000 and twenty-one congressmen." Only Chairman Thurman and Secretary Taylor were present. The election of Watson in the Twelfth district is conceded. IX WILSON'S DISTRICT. Will Probably Take the Official Vole to Deelde. 1 MARTINS BURG, W. Va., Nov. C Wilson's county, Jefferson, gives him 1.40O majority, which is less than was anticipated. The election In the Second district i will b2 close and it will require the oftl- ,

day or two. The democrats are very un-

easy. IV CA UFO UM A. Etee nml the Ilet of Hie ltrnnhllcnn Ticket rrobnbly Elected. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6. Throughout California the poll? were kept open until 5 o'clock. Any estimates which might be made at the close of the voting would be simply conjecture, for absolutely nothing Is known. However, the general impression is that Esteo for governor and nearly all the republican, candidates for state officers have lieon elected. An unusually large vote has been polled, the weather having been pleasant throughout the state. No serious disturbances are reixrted. At Vallejo, where several hundred United States marines from Mare Island navy yard registered, notwithstanding the decisions' of the courts declaring the registration illegal, trouble was feared. A big force of sheriffs was sworn in and the first two sailors who appeared and swore in their votes were anestcd for felony. No further attempts wen; made by the sailors and marines to vote. From other points a few arrests are reported. With the close of the polls tonight no reliable estimate of the results can 1 obtained. For mayor it is generally believed Adolph Scttro, pop., has been elected, though C. C. O'Donnell. the united labor and anti-Chinese candidate, and T. S. Ellert, the republican .and citizens' nonpartisan nominee, are close seconds. The citizens' non-partisan candidates for nearly all the Important city offices are believed to be elected. The result In the city cannot be known before tomorrow, as the state and legislative tickets are to be counted first. Though a very heavy vote was polled the election was the quietest in the history of the city. About a score of arrests were made for illegal voting, but there was no other trouble. CO LOP. A UO UEPllil.ICAN. Melntsre Elected (iovomor Otrr YYiitte by 2t MMN). DENVER. Nov. 6. The indications at S:30 o'clock are that Mclntyre, republican for governor, will have 15.000 to 20.000 majority over Waits, populist. The Times-Sun claims the republican majority in this (Arapahoe) county will be 20,000, and that the remainder of the state will give a republican majority of 5.000. Waite has run behind his ticket many thousands. If the repub'icanj have 20,000 majority on the head of their state ticket they will undoubtedly control the legislature and re-elect Senator Woleott. Fence, populist, is beaten by Shafroth, republican, for congress in the First district. Bell, populist, may defeat Bowen in the Second district, but his majority of 12,000 two years age will be greatly reduced. Dispatches from all parts of the state say a very full vote was polled, and in the cities fully a.s many women voted as men. The polls did not close until 7 o'clock, and it will be very late before any definite figures are received. In Denver and suburbs about S3 per cent, of the registered vote was cast. Women worked earnestly at the polls all day for the succes3 of the republioaou ticket and the result is largely due to their efforts. GROWING IV MINNESOTA. Xelaon Ue-Electel Governor by "O,- - OOO or 40,000. JsT. PAUL, Nov. C At midnight it was simply a question of the size of the repub lican plurality In this state, with a strong . indication that it might prove to be a majority. Twenty thousand was the first figure at 10 o'clock, but it has slowly j mounted till it is now placed at 30.000 and , may reach 40,000. Governor Nelson's chief competitor seems to have been S. M. Owen, pop., for whom many democrats deserted their candidate. The rest of the state ticket, with the possible exception of John W. Wallis, dem. -pop., for assosiate justice, has also been elected by a big vote. The congressional delegation will consist of five and pos-ibly seven republicans. Little or nothing has been heard from the legislature, but it seems strongly republican, assuring Senator Washburn's re-election. In Minneapolis. MINNEAlOLIS, Nov. 6. Pratt, n-p.. is elected mayor by 2,500 plurality anil the balance of the municipal ticket by nearly the s:ime figures. UEPlllLirANS WIN" IN WISCONSIN. Chairman Thorn Claim the State lr.o.ooo. MILWAUKEE. Nov. C Returns from the interior f the state show republican gains everywhere and indicate that tin lepublican state ticket will be elected by a majority if from 35,000 to 40,000. Th average republican gain in precincts thus far received, is thirty-seven and it is steadily increasing. Chairman Wall of the democratic state committee concedes the election of Upham and the entire republican state tieket. Chairman Thorn of the republican state central committee claim the state by 50.000 and Henry C. Paym concords wl h his estimate. Later returns increase the republican gains in rhe state and fully warrant the estimate of from 40,000 to 50,000 republican majority. The republican majority In the state senate will 'be about six, according to the returns thus far. In the assembly the republican majority will not ibe less than twenty. CO M PL KT K IN MICHIGAN. Kepnlillenn Plurality In Kit i mated at tio.ooo. DETROIT, Nov. 6. Michigan h;id gone republican by about C0,00o plurality. The republican state central committee claims it will exceed that figure, while Secre- j tary Hosford of the democratic commute-.. ! concedes the republican plurality to be 50,- 1 000. The republicans have als vlected every one of the twelve congressmen from Michigan, notwithstanding the division of districts by what they allege to have been a democratic gerrymander. Perhaps the greatest surprise to the democrats was the election of Spaulding, rep., over Barkworth, ehm. and pop., in the Second district by over 2,000 plurality. Tne legislature will be about four-fifths re publican in both branches. Cry of Frnnd. NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 6. The Associated Press received the following from national republican state central committee headquarters tonight signed by Chairman Behan: "Kernochan, Oolenvan and Beattie have been honestly elected In this state. Wholesale violence. Intimidation and fraud have been perpetrated and the consplrat-y by state and city olllcials against republican success will, no doubt, be consummated by the givng of certificates to their opponents. We will contest and show, to the American people the must appalling frauds." Ithode Island Sympathise. PROVIDKXCE, R. I.. Nov. 6. Up to ! this hour (11 p. m.) complete returns have not been received from either of the congressional districts In Rhode Island, bot the figures at hand leave no more doifot of the success of Bull, rep., over Lapham, dem., in the First dis- '

trict. and Arnold, rep., over Garvin, dem., In the Second district. The receipt of returns from various towns is much ham

pered by the prostration of the wires o; account of last night's storm, but all the returns received have the republican trend indicated in the dispatches from other states. i lottij;revrH Ile-Eleetlon Ananrril, i YANKTON. S. !., Nov. 6. Political in- ' formation concentrated at the democratic stale committee headquarters in this city tonight is to the effect that Robert 10. Gamble and John A.

Tanner, chairman of the republican ftate central committee, said: "One hundred and twenty-five precincts outside of Cook county show a republican gain of forty to the precinct. This may not ho'.d good in the agricultural townships, but sufficient reports have been received to justify the claim of 75.000 majority or plurality In the state. We have sixteen republican congressmen and both branches of tne general assembly. Cook county ha. gone at least 15,000 plurality for republicanism." Tanner, chairman of the republican stale committee said at 1:30 a. m.: "We will have forty-four majority in the legislature on Joint ballot. Cook county by 20,000 plurality, and Illinois by 125.OoO." He claims the flection of Lorimrr to congress from the Second district. .Sveepliij5 Vlcor In Connecticut. NEW HAVEN. Conn., Nov. 6. Returns as far as obtainable from all parts of the state at midnight indicate that Connecticut has experienced a great republican landslide. This city has gone republican. Figott, the democratic candidate for congress, who had a majority of over 3,000 last year. Is defeatel probably by 1,000 majority ty N. D, Sperry. Coffin, the republican candidate for governor, has about the same majority. The town elects two republican representatives to the legislature and the senatorial districts elect a republican. No Cltnnge In New Ilnmpothlre. CONCORD. N. II., Nov. C Returns from New Hampshire were never more tardy, but those received show republican majorities. Less than one-quarter of the state has been reported, but the returns at hand indicate that Busiel will have at leas: 6,000 lead over Kent. The election of two republican congressmen Is conceded, and the legislature will be republican by probably seventy-five. Four wards in Manchester show a net republican gain of 57SJ. Concord returns will not be available tonight. Idaho Probably Itepnliliea n. BOISE. Ida.. Nov. 6. The election passed off quietly in this, state so far as heard. Interest everywhere Is great, and it is thought a very large vote has been polled. There were no figures obtainable until after midnight. During the day both democrats and republicans have claimed the governship. The democrats concede the res; of the state ticket, but the populists have laid claims to the congressman. It Is the opinion of the most conservative men that the state has gone republican on the state ticket, congressmen and legislature. Kvnnn Elected In South Carolina. COLUMBIA. S. C, Nov. C There is no doubt that Evans, dem., will by elected governor by a large majority. At this hour It Is doubtful whether the vote will be In favor of the calling of a constitutional convention. Democrats will be elected to x ngress In all districts, unless it is the First, where Elliott, ex-member aad democrat, Is running against Murray, present negro congressman from that distrlet. Democrnt Win In Alabama. MONTGOMERY, Ala., Nov. 6. The returns from the election in this state Indicate the election of all the democratio nominees, with the possible exception of Denson In the Seventh which at present seems to be In doubt. The republicans are very active In the Fourth and Ninth districts, but Robbins and UnderwovKl have good majorities in the Fifth. Cobb defeats Goodwin, leader of the populists. In Virginia. RICHMOND, Va.. Nov. C At midnight Democratic State Chairman J. Taylor Ellisson gave out the following: "The returns at ths hour seem to Indicate that we have carried the Eighth district. News from the Ninth and Tenth districts is not definite enough to warrant an opinion, as to result of tlni election in these districts, "thouch we have strong h"i!'s- of carrying them both." KniiroiN ItcpiiKllcuu. TOPEKA. Kas.. Nov. ß. Returns received at republican headquarters are meager, but every township tnd voting precinct shows decided republican gains. The same ratio of gain that has been reported up to 1 a. ni. will give Morrill the state by a plurality of 33,000 to 40,000. 2 a. m. One hundred and ninety-four towns and precincts in Kansas give Morrill, 21,020; Lcwelling, 11,255. .Jofteph Kleeted In New I ex !. ALBUQUERQUE, N. M.. Nov. 6. Partial returns from the territory indicate Anthony Joseph, dem., elected delegate to congress, although republicans claim that big majorities from Roswell, Eddy, Lincoln and White Oaks, In Pecos valley, will change the complexion of the returns. In this (Bernalillo) county the majority of the republican ticket Is elected. Teu I Still Loyal. DALLAS, Tex.. Nov. C The election of Culberson, dem., for governor is conceded by a plurality ranging from 60,000 to fcO.000. Th? democrat claim a solid congressional delegation, but the, election of Crowley, in the Tenth district, Crain la the Eleventh and Houston in the Twelfth Is in doubt. The democrats elect both branches of the legislature. Otreim I Probably Defeated. LEXINGTON. Ky.. Nov. 6 The returns in the Ashland district up to midnight show that Judge' George Denny, jr., is elected over W. C. Owens, dem., by from 100 to 300 majority. Owens men think Derjny is the winner. Tne official count will have to be made before any bets are paid as the contest is very close. Nothing Definite from Utah. SALT LAKE. Utah, Nov. 6.

At 6:30 this evening fire was discovered in hold of the cotton steamer Skidby at the Central compress wharf. The fire was in hold No. 3. in which there was about 2.500 bales of cotton. The Skidby had about 10,000 bales abroad. She had about concluded loading and would have cleared tomorrow. The fire had gained considerable headway when discovered. At 6:15 it was discovered that there was fire in the cotton in the hold of the steamer Baltimore City at the "Gordon press wharf, about a mile away from the scene of the fire on the Skidby. Alongside of the Baltimore City lay the steamer Castle Garth, and a few minutes after the discovery that the former's cotton was afire fire was also discovered in the fore peak of the Castle Garth, in which compartment there were about 400 bales of cotton and the reamen's clothes. The fire on the Baltimore City was but small and was soon put out. On the Castle Garth It was more obstinate and was not extinguished until the sailors clothes had lxen burned and all cotton In the compartment more or less damaged. About an hour after the discovery of the fire on the Baltimore City, an alarm of fire was given from the steamer Stag, also heading at Gordon's wharf along with the Baltimore City and the Castle Garth. This lire proved to be the most obstinate of the three at the Gordon wharf and it is still burning. The Stag had on a lar.e proportion of her cargo. Some 400 bales have been taken from her hold and the holds of the Baltimore City and Castel Garth and put on lighters. About the same time that the Stag was reported on fire at Gordon's wharf, fire broke out In the hold of the steamer Delgarth at the Central Press wharf, near the Skidby, where the first fire occurred, and In a few minutes the steamer Petunia, also at Central Press wharf, was reported with fire in her compartment. The three- .ships aiire at his wharf were n t ovt-r 300 yards apart. The three othrr ships afire were a mile away at the other edge of the' city. The fire on the Petunia was easily extinguished. The Delgarth's llra was extinguished when about three hundred bales had been, damage!. 12:30 a. m. Fire has Just broken out in the steamship Armenia at the Central railroad wharf, making seven vessels now on the list. The Iii on the Armenia was slight and w"aa f-oon extinguished. All the ilre.5 are now extinguished except that on the SkiJoy. which Is under complete control. No estimate of livs Is vet obtainable. ATTEMPT TO WRECK A TRAIN. ! Trnrk.

The train was run ning at a high rate of speed! when signaled! t'i stop. Investigation showed a large pile of tiea and rocks on the track, which tha track walker had discovered iu time to flag the train. Near the obstruction was fuund a man lying close to the 1 rails wounded in the head. He stated that he had conie upon the train wreckers unawares anl they had beaten him. The ottftruCJons had been carried some distance and as the flagman of th train ran back along the tracks he saw three men disappearing in the darkness. The wounded man was taken to Charleroi and turned over to the authorities. He woull make no statement beyond what he toll the trainmen and the police and railroad otliciaLi are Investigating the matter. Charles Coates, a tegrapher, formerly employed on the Lake Erie railroad. Is under arrest at Charleroi charged with trying to wreck the train. His story of i being beaten into insensibility by would- ! be trainwreckers because he came upon them unawares is not believed.

STATE COMMITTEE ROOMS !

Chairman TnaKtart Iterelven Returns ' Advlee from the State. All night the state democratic, committee rooms were besieged. A Western Union wire was run Into the rooms and the news from outside the state was received and read to the crowd by Chairman Taggart. Among those who were seated around Mr. Taggart were Governor Matthews, Congressman Bynum, Lon B.ailey. John W. Kern, Sid Moon. Auditor Henderson, John It. Wilson. Myron King. M. 10. Yontz, Joseph Fanning and Secretary Reilly. The earliest returns were received from New York and showed plainly that Hill was defeated by an immense majority. Chairman Taeart at once concede.! the election of Governor Morton and sail 1 nothing else -uM have been expected In view of the dissension among the demo- ', erats of that state. Chairman Taggart received reports throughout the night from the county chairmen, while Governor Matthews received a full "opy of the Western Union dispatches. Every one was anxious to hear from Indiana, but it was not until 0 o'clock that returns from the state began to arrive. These did not look encouraging from the first, although several encouraging messages were received. From Roch tor, Madison, Plymouth. Danville. Anderson, Tipton, Connersville and Richmond came messages a few minutes after the polls closed which showed that a large vote had been polled and the democrats had brought out their strength In those places. T. It. Marshall wired fofii Columbia City that one precinct showed a democratic gain of four over 1SH2. W. J. Cunning.iani svn: word from Kontland that three precincts in Jefferson township gave Owen sixty-seven majority. Up until midnight the following messages had been received by Charman Taggart: Versa lies Republican gain In three precincts on state ticket of thirty-nine. Ft. Wayne Eight precincts in the city give Myers 733, Owen C27. Estimated loss of 200 ever 1892. Warsaw Five precincts give net republican gain of seventy-seven. Laporte Fourteo-n preempts in this county show net republican gain of S24. Same ratio will make county very close. Kentland Six townships out of Un in Newton county give Owen IM majority, a gain of eighty-eight. New Castle Fifteen precincts phow a net republican gain of 235. North Vernon isix precincts show a republican gain of thirty-eight. Greencastle Five precincts In Putnam show a democratic; loss of fifty-three. Bedford Eight precincts show a republican gain, of 260. Winchester Nineteen precincts show a republican gain of 392. South Bend St Joseph county about seven hundred republican. Royse elected congressman by over 2,000, Martinsville Washington township comp'ete. six precincts, give republican gain of fifty-nine. The Western Union dispatches at milnight showed that in 161 precincts in the state the republicans had made a gain of 2.P0S over the Cleveland-Harrison vote. It was figured that the democrats were losing at the rate of ten to the precinct, which would give the state to the republican party by 30.000. The democratic counties and districts had not been heard from, however, and the only indications from these returns were that the republicans hod made heavy gains In their own strongholds. But few democratic counties had been heard from and these showed democratic gains, -fhey were expected to pull down the ratio cf gain for the republicans, but the state was generally conceded to the republieans, although Chairman Tapgart refused to allow the state to be counted as lost. At midnight Mr. Taggart claimed confidently the ebction of Congrfs.men Bretz." Stockslager, Holman and McNagny. while he had heard nothing from the First. Second. Third. Eiarhth. Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh. Mr. Bynum's election was thought to be in doubt. It was a jo- etvwd even at midnight and Chairman Taggart's perennial smf.e of good nature did not disappear even for a, moment Returns from Mississippi announcing that the demorats had carried the :ate were received with a fi urL-h of affected triumph. It was not a dispirited crowd by any means. They were having jut as much fun at demicratic headquarters as anybody. After midnight the headquarters of the state democracy looked deserted. Governor Matthews, Congressman Bynum and ,i large ninnln-r of oiher prominent democrats had left and those who remained were getting sleepy. Congressman Bynum did not concede his defeat in so many words, but when he left the commitee rooms It was plain that he realized his defeat. Chairman Taggar; was among the last to leave. He conceded the defeat of the democratic state ticket, but the returns from the congressional districts wore too meager for him to form any estimate as 1o the number the democrats had eb-cted. He said as he put on his oat that the returns indicated that the stite had gone republican by a large majority, but later returns might reduce this very materially. The official returns from ninety precincts in Marion county show that Owen, rep., has a plurality of 16:: Maguire, dem., has 65; Henry, rep., has G40, and Stuckmever, dem., has 249. While the returns are not as yet complete they show conclusively that the county has gone republican by a large majority. The entire republican ticket is prolably elected and Mr. Henry has carlied the county by a. vote in excess of the county ticket. Chairman Moores of the republican county committee claims the county by 3,0K) and says Mr. Henry has carried the county by 3,500. He claims the election of Mr. Henry by 3.000 and Fays no candidate on the republican county ticket will fall more than 150 behind the ticket. The state Is republican. Chairman Gowdy claims it by from 35.000 to no.ooo. walle Chairman Taggart merely concedes the elect! m of the republican state ticket. He claims the election of four democratic congressmen, with the rest in doubt. Republicans claim the election of every congressman in the state. The returns show that republicans have gained heavily in all their strongholds, and have iolled u full vote. In Marion county thev have made gains in a large majority of the precincts, and In some have galnl over the vow of 1S92 very heavily. Democrats also made gain in I many precincts, but with all this the county is republican by i go d majority. Mr. Bynum was scratched in many of the precincts and is behind his ticket in the county. Republicans can claim no victory in the county. It was -arried for them by democratic votes. This has been shown conclusively and it has been caused by a general dissatisfaction among democrats themselves. They have no: Joinevl the republican party, but have voted with It for the purpose of expressing their discontent. The panic has been unjustly laid at the doors of the democratic party, and as it was the party in power during the depression it his been compelled to bear the responsibility and suffer the com-e-Quenccs. Below are given the figures so far as had been reported from the votin preclncts of the county at 3 o'clock this morning: Twenty-One Loot. MILFORD MAYEN, Oct. 31. The steamer Tonnes struck Crow Rock, near Mllford Haven, last night. Twen'y-one men. including the captain and oilicers, were drowned. Seven of the crew were saved.

The republicans claim the state by a plurality of at leat 35.000, and their committee say it may reach much larg-r figures.
