TAMMANY MAN WINS.

•I'CLELLAN ELECTED MATOR OF NEW YORK CITY. Lew Defeated Uader an Avalanche of Yotee—Herrick Sweeps Ohio by an Overwhelming Majority Cam mine Wine in lowa, Beckham in Kentucky. George B. McClellan 284,272 Seth Low 283,806 McClellan’s plurality, with 86 districts estimated - 61,872 Comptroller Edward M. Grout President Board of Aldermen Chas. F.

Tammany scored a remarkable triumph in New York’s city election. Its entire city ticket has been elected by a plu-

rallty second only to the unprecedented sweep of 1902, when Color carried the city by 122,000 votes more than Odell, the Republican candidate for Governor. It was something more than a landslide—it was an avalanche. Manhattan and the Bronx, comprising New York Cdnnty,

give a plurality of between 00,000 and 70,000 for McClellan, Grout and Fornes. Bren Brooklyn has been carried by the Tiunmany ticket by a plurality approaching 4,000. Martin W. Littleton, Democratic candidate for president of the borough, who indorsed the atnnd of Hugh McLaughlin in fighting the Tammanylxlng of Brooklyn, is also elected. The borough of Queens is Democratic. Richmond is the only borough carried by Low. The board of aldermen will be completely in control of Tammany. The verdict at the polls so strongly intrenches the wigwam in power in the city that its adherents assert that it will be practically invincible in the presidential and State elections next year. Charted F. Murphy becomes the most important Democrat in the country. He will probably have more influence in the next Democratic national convention than Croker, Kelly or Hill ever had, because he will not only be able to dominate the Democratic party of the entire city but the Democratic party of the ptate as well. Murphy’s victory seems to mean the destruction of both David B. Hill and Hugh McLaughlin.

In the State. The Republicans carried three-fourths of the eighty-eight counties, and will have eighty-seven majority on Joint ballot in the Legislature, thereby assuring the re-election of Senator Hanna. He will havS the largest majority ever given a Senator in Ohio, Senator F o r a k e r

formerly having the record with thirtyfive majority on joint ballot to his credit. The election was a clean sweep and Mayor Johnson was lost in the landslide. The victory is regarded by the Republicans as a personal one for Senator Hanna, the Democratic candidates having centered their fight upon him in the hope of electing enough legislators to make possible the selection of John H. Clarke as Senator. The returns indicate that the Republicans carried Cuyahoga County, the home of Herrick and Senator Hanna, Mayor Johnson and Clarke, by more than 4,000 plurality. Mr. Clarke lost Mahoning County, his former home, and Mayor “Golden Rule" Joues failed to make good his promise to carry Toledo and the adjoining country, Lucas County rolling up the largest plurality ever recorded there, giving CoL Herrick 3,200 more votes than Mayor Johnson. Maryland. Senator Arthur Pue Gorman scored a victory by the election of Edwin Warfield (Democrat) as Governor over Steveuson A. Williams (Republican). The result emphasizes Gorman’s domination in the State, and strengthens his position as a candidate for the presidency. The Legislature, which Is Democratic by n small plurality, will elect a Democratic successor to Senator McComas (Republican). The last vote of the State for Governor (in 1890) resulted: Smith (Democrat), 128,409; Lowndes (Republican), 116,280. Nebraska. Republicans claim the election of John D. Barnes (Republican) as Supreme Court Judge by 10,000 plurality over John L. Sullivan (fusion). The Republican candidates for university regents ran ahead of their ticket. Governor Mickey (Republican) was elected last year by 96,471 votes to 91,116 cast for Thompson (fusion). Rhode Island. Lucius F. C. Garvin (Democrat) was re-elected Governor over Samuel Pomroy Colt (Republican) by 5,000 plurality, while the Republicans elect the remainder of the State officers and retain control of the Legislature.

LIGHT VOTK IN IOWA. Governor Cummins Re-elected by ■ Plurality of GO.OOa Governor Albert B. Cummins Lieutenant Governor John Harriott Judge Supreme Court Chas. A. Bishop Supt. Public Instruction ....John F. Riggs Railroad .Commissioner ....David J. Palmer In lowa Gov. Cummins and the Republican State ticket are elected by about (50,000 plurality on an extremely

light vote throughout the State. In the Legislature it is thought th§ Democrats gained two or three members of the lower house. At midnight Tuesday 100 precincts out of the 2,300 in the State gave Cummins (Rep.) for Governor 18,722, against 18,940 two years ago in the

same precincts. Sullivan received 10,998, against 10,250 in the same precincts two years ago, the result indicating a net Republican loss of practically 10,000 to 12,000 in the State. . Gov. Cummins said: “It is extremely gratifying to note that the indications point to a larger plurality than I had even estimated. I had placed the figures at about 60,000, but the returns indicate that the plurality for the Republican ticket will approach 70,000 instead. Considering the light vote the plurality rfeally is everything that Republicans could expect.”' The Democratic representatives of Mr. Sullivan said they were surprised at the size of the plurality. They had not expected the Republican ticket to be elected by moreVhan 30,000. The Democratic State central committee issued a statement at midnight conceding Gov. Cummins’ re-election by 41,000 plurality.

Chinn Kentucky has gone Democratic by at least 20,000 majority, and the State is safely in the Democratic column for 1904.

The Democratic victory 1* complete, the party re-electing all of its nominees for Circuit judge in doubtful districts, with a single exception, electing seven-ty-five of 100 members of the House of Representatives and all but ten members of the State Senate. The city of Louis-

ville, which gave a majority to the Republican candidate of 3,500 in 1900, gives from 0,000 to 8,000 majority for Gov. Beckham. The Democrats have carried every congressional district in the State except the Eleventh, the Republican stronghold. The Democratic victory does not come from the cities or from any special sections of the State. The result from 100 of the 119 counties shows an intense interest everywhere, and there is not a Democratic county which has not increased its normal majority from 300 to 800. The Republican counties show a corresponding decrease of majorities. The re-election of Gov. Beckham, a man 33 years of age, fixes his place as leader of the Democratic party In Kentucky, and it is said his name will go before the Kentucky General Assembly to succeed J. C. S. Blackburn in the Senate of the United States. Maeaa cb naatta. The Republicans carried the State, though by a reduced plurality. John L.
