INDIANA. Incomplete returns received by the Indianapolis Journal up to 2 a. m., Wednesday, indicate the most sweeping Republican victory in the history of the Hoosier State. Returns had been received from 516 precincts, out of a total of 3.063, which showed a Republican gain of 14,975 over 1892. At this rate the Republican plurality may reach from 50,000 to 70,000. The Legislature will bo Republican by a good majority. Every Congressman is claimed by Chairman Gowdy. In the Fofirth District Jas. E. Watson has probably beaten the veteran Democratic leader, Wm. S. Holman. Overstreet in the FifthlDistrict will have Sohandsome plurality over Cooper. The Eighth. District will give Faris a plurality over Brookshire of at least 1,000. Hatch in the Tenth is elected by 1,800 plurality. Marion county lias ‘gone Republican by an 2,000 majority. At [2 o’clock Democrats claimed that the vote on the State ticket would bo very close. Official returns from twenty-two precincts in Marion county showed Republican gains of 181. At Democratic headquarters the Western Union dispatches received up to 2 a. m. showed that in 161 precincts the Republicans had made a gain of 3,908 over the Cleveland-Harrison vote. It was figured and conceded that Democrats were losing at the rate of 10 to a precinct, which would give the State to the Republicans by 30,000. Chairman Taggart, however, refused to allow the State to be counted as lost, and confidently claimed the election of Congressmen Bretz, Stockslager, Holman and McNagny. NEW YORK. The Republicans have carried New York Stato by estimated pluralities ranging from 130,000 to 150,000. These figures represent the probable plurality of Levi p. Morton- Republican, for Governor, .over David B. Hill, Democrat, based upon New York city and Brooklyn complete, and returns from more than half of the election districts above the Harlem riyer. The total vote for the two leading candi- 1 dates is considerably in excess of that polled for Flower and Fassett for governor in 1891. in addition to which is the votes cast this year for Everett P. Wheeled independent Democrat, which will exceed 20,000. The tremendous Republican sweep in the city and State, it.isestimated, has .elected twenty-seyen Republican Congressmen, a gain of twelve over the present representation in Congress. Hill Will run behind even the voto for Maynard last year, and loses his own county of Albany, an old-time Democratic stronghold, which gave Maynard 2,500 majority. In New York city Strong is elocted over Grant, the Tammany candidate, by a great majority. The Tammany tiger is badly scotched. OHIO. • Ohio has broken her record on Republican pluralities. The largest plurality heretofore was when John Brough, Republican candidate for Governor in 1863, had lOl.OCOover Clement L. Vallandigham, Democrat, the Tatter being exiled at the time in Canada. Last year Governor McKinley carried the State by overßo,ooo, but no such plurality had been previously known except in the noted Brough-Van-iandigham canvass. While the Republican jelaitn a plurality for Secretary of Stato of 125,003 to 150,000, the Democrats tooncede that the Republicans have made 'large gains over the McKinley vote of 'last year, and possibly beaten the Brough highwater mark of 1863. On the basis of the State vote the Republicans elalm seventeen of the twentytone Congressmen, the present Ohio delejgation in Congresa consisting of eleven Democrats and ten Republicans.

their State ticket thoy will undoubtedly control the Legislature and re-elect Senator Wolcott. Pence (Pop.) Is beaten by Shafroth. Republican, for Congress in the First District. Bell, Populist, may defeat Bowen in the Second District, but his majority of 12,003 two years ago will be greatly reduced. Dispatches from all parts of the State say a very full vote was polled, and in the cities fully as 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 re. ceiveth In Denver and suburbs about 85 per cent, of the registered vote was cast. Women worked earnestly at the polls all day for the success of the Rep u bile an ticket, and the result is largely due to their efforts. MICHIGAN. Returns received at Detroit indicate a Republican plurality of 30,003 for Governor Rich. The Democratic committee concede the election of Governor Rich, Republican, but quote no figures as yet.

They claim the election of Griffin in the First District, Barkwovth, Democrat and Populist, in the second, Carlton in the Seventh and Churchill in the Tenth District. Meager returns from the First District show that the independent labor political movement has been adverse to Griffin. Democrat, and the election of Corliss, Republican, seems certain. KENTUCKY. .

At Democratic headquarters, at Nashville, it is admitted that the race for governor in this State is unpleasantly close for Turney (Dem.) NEBBASKA. Holcombe, the fusion candidate for Governor, is elected by 3,000 plurality. The Legislature will be close with the chances favoring a Republican organization of that body. MINNESOTA. Gov.
