THE BECENT ELECTIONS. The General Result of the Recent State Elections. The Early Returns Folly Borne Out— The Besnlt a Mixed One, nomocracy Getting a Shade the Best o( It. The General Result. The latest returns from Ohio, New York, Massachusetts, Iowa and other states where elections were held Tuesday indicate the following results: In Ohio McKinley’s plurality is between 16,000 and giMWO, and the legislature is republican, insuring the election of a republican to the United States senate. A feature of the Ohio election is the small vote of the people’s party, which will not reach 13,000. In New York. Flower, democratic candidate for governor, has a plurality of about 40,000. The legislature is probably demofratic in both branches. Sheehan, democratic candidate for lieutenant-governor, has a plurality of 88,000. Iowa re-elects Boies, the democratic candidate for governor, over Wheeler, republican, by an estimated plurality .of 8,000. The democratic state ticket is probably elected, but the legislature is republican in both branches. In Massachusetts Bussell, democratic candidate for governor, is elected by a plurality of about 5,000. The remainder of the state ticket is republican, as is also the legislature. In six congressional districts, to fill vacancies, the honors were evenly divided, republicans and democrats each electing three representatives. In Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey and Virginia the elections were won by the democrats. Beturns so far do not clearly indicate the strength of the people’s party in the Kansas county elections.

J T<7|111 A <tuu mivu IV| 384. Gov. Bussell gained 18 per cent, in these towns, which, applied to the rest of the towns, would make his total in all the towns 50,199. The entire republican state ticket with the exception of governor, is elected by ample pluralities. Returns for members of the legislature are incomplete. The returns thus far indicate that seventeen republican senators are elected. Among the senatorial candidates defeated is Robert Howard, of Fall River. His defeat is something of a surprise. Complete returns for 127 members of the house of representatives, a little more than one-half, show that 83 republicans have been and 45 democrats. The plurality for Speaker Barrett Is twice that of last year. The executive council will probably stand 7 republicans to 1 democrat. IOWA. Gov. Boles Bo-Elected. Des Moines, Ift., Nov. 4.—Gov. Boies

The senate will consist of 25 republicans, 24- democrats and one people’s party man, Engle, who will vote against the repeal of prohibition. The house will have fifty-five republicans, all prohibitionists—88 democrats and one people’s party man. Prohibition can not be repealed. NEBRASKA. Victory Claimed by the Democrats. Omaha, Hob., Nov. 4.—The democrats claim the election of Edgerton, the independent candidate for judge of the supreme court.' The precincts which have thus far been heard from are in the cities where it was conceded Post, the republican candidate, would poll heavily. The country districts have not been heard from, but it is reasonable to suppose they will go thoroughly independent, and as Post has not what is considered a sufficient majority in the cities to go out into the state with, his election is not claimed with much vigor. MtSSISSiPPI. Elected Without Opposition. Jackson, Miss., Nov. 4.—The election in this state was held for three railroad commissioners, the entire legislature and district attorneys. W. S. Laurin, J. B. Askew and J. F. Sessions were the democratic nominees for railroad commissioners and had no opposition. The general legislature will be overwhelmingly democratic, with most of the members pledged for the return of Messrs. George and Walthall to the United States senate. PENNSYLVANIA.

Ex-President Cleveland on the BesuDs. New Yobk, Nov. 4.—When seen at his residence in Madison avenue by a reporter of the United Press, ex-Presi-dent Cleveland gave his opinions of the result of the election as follows: “Of •course everyone has a right to put his own construction upon the result, and I am-.not anxious to obtrude my ideas, but it seems to me something ought to be no longer doubtful. Anyman who still thinks that tariff reform is a settled and obsolete, issue, or that the importance of sound and safe money is a question upon which the people can be blinded, is either wilfully wrong or dangerously dull. It seems to me, too, that democrats ought to be satisfied that a staunch adherence to the principles of their pasty does not require the abuse of those who show an inclination to help us. I very much regret the defeat of Gk>v. Campbell. He bus been a brave and honest official. This and the splendid canvas ha made entitled him to success. While the election of Flower, Russell and Boies ought to cause the utmost rejoicing among democrats, they should not forget that with these things comes ths^obligutions to he true to the. people, honest in the advocacy of our principles and *r, alt things.” A Canon Fined for of Westminster Drunkenness. Loudon, Nov. ft.—On Tuesday evening Kev. Frederick Harford, said to be a minor canon of Westminster, saw the police helping a hysterical woman into a cab in front of a saloon. Harford, who appeared to be in a somewhat inebriated condition, protested against the leniency of the police in not arresting the woman, and said that she was drunk, and ought to be in custody. The police paid no attention to the canon at first, only telling him to go off and mind his own business. This made the reverend gentleman more effusive, and the police were at last obliged to arrest hita, They entered the charge of drunkenness against him. The appearance of a canon of Westminster in the police court, even though but a minor canon created a great sensation. Harford was dressed in the most correct garb, r.nd was rather swell in appearance for ft clergyman 50 years of age. He denied that he was drunk, but admitted that he had been dining. The evidence of his disorderly conduct waa overwhelming, and the magistrate, after severely censuring him, Imposed a floe ft! two which yvg.p—I flvVitf vW«

EGAN’S ULTIMATUM. A Little Firmness on the Fart of Oar Minister to Chill Secure* Protection from Threatened Assault Upon the United States Legation at Santiago—A Soothing Circular. Santiago, Chili, Not. 7.—Wild stories have been in circulation here for several days to the effect that a conspiracy had been formed among the refugees in the American legation for the assassination of Col. Canto, who so successfully led the congressionalists during the recent insurrection. Aa a result of these reports a mass meeting of citizens was held in the plaid - yesterday to denounce the conspiracy and to take whatever action was deemed necessary. Minister Egan notified the junta that threats of an attack upon the legation had been made with the avowed purpose of- securing the refugees. In very fine tones Mr. Egan announced that the junta would be held directly responsible for any damage which might be done to the legation or any harm that might befall any of its inmates The junta promptly dispatched a troop of cavalry to the United States legation for its protection. At the plaza meeting many fiery speeches were made ,and the United States legation and its troop of socalled conspirators were severely denounced. Just beforethe close of the meeting government officials distributed a circular among the crowd which announced that the conspiracy stories were devoid of all foundation. This had a soothing effect upon the excited citizens, and they dispersed to their homes without making any demonstrar tion whatever against the legation.

Senor Da Costa on the Brsslllsii SlJnation. Washington, Nov. 7.—Senor Da ~ Costa, secretary of the Brasilian legation here, will leave Washington to Jay for New York, whence he will sail for Brazil. Senor Da Costa does not regard the situation in Brazil as serious enough to endanger the stability of the government. The president, he says, is not an ambitious man with a thirst for potter, and there is no doubt, but that his action in establishing martial law was taken in the belief tHat it was in the interest of the country and neounder the circumstances. • * j ■ essary Clom to Pieces by Gloat Powder.
