In New /fork, the Democratic candidate for governor, John A. Dix, is elected b ya plurality of approximately 81,000, after a bitter fight. Col.

The Democrats also carried New Jersey, electing Woodrow Wilson, former president of Princeton university, by a handsome plurality. In Nebraska, Hitchcock, apti-Bryan Democrat, is elected over United States Senator Burkett, Republican, by 20,000. Mayor Dahlman of Omaha, who made the Democratic bolt against Bryan in Nebraska, carried the city of Omaha in his campaign for governor by 9,000. But Aldrich, the Republican, is leading in the interior of the state, and the indications are that his pluralities ia the other counties will more than offset the plurality of Mayor DahlmanJn Douglas county, which includes the city of Omaha.
