Again the people have spoken, and in terms no less emphatic than in 1893 and in 1894, proclaiming that they have had enough <?t Democracy, and await with Impatience the opportunity to sweep that party out of power. New Yeffk, Ohio, and lowa, the great States
at the front this offest of off years, may be said to have held proxies for the country at large, and the returns from those States.make it plain that the flood tide of Republicanism is still at highwater mark. The retention in these three great Northern States of the enormous gains of last year and the year before is supplemented by the addition of two strongholds of Democracy. Kentucky and Maryland, to the' Republican
columns. Even in (be flush of those two former victories these accessions to Republican strength were not so much as dreamed of, and a Republican majority of 20,000 /or Governor in New Jersey is as much to be rejoiced over. .

Looking the whole field over, it may be added that it is now in order for the Democracy to move to make it -unanimous.
A landslide in Maryland, a RepuMjean victory in Kentucky, and the return to power of Tammany in New York fSty were the features of the riectiona. In Maryland the Democrats met a veritable Waterloo. The whoJe State seemingly repudiated Senator GoznAn and the indications now are that M" RepnMicaa will succeed Senator Gibson. Baltimore went Republican by from 5,606 to 10,000. Lowndes’ election as Governor by » majority of anywhere from 16,99610 20.060 is conceded by the Democratic ceanmjitee. Tammany Wine in Gotham. In New York the Bepntdkans elect their entire State ticket and carry the Slats* by _anJucreased. majority,, 60,000. New York City is carried by Tiimmaiiy, Wit tbfTfWßMMßfi~Derßwrattc vote of that city and Brooklyn shows a loss of about 12,000. The Legiriature is solidly Republican. The total vote of th* State shows a falling off compared with the vote of 1883, the decrease being eonfiaed, however, to the districts north of the Harlem River. The city vote was fnßy etjnat to that of two years ago.
New Jersey wa« carried by the Republicans by from 18,000 to 20,000. Jofex \V. Griggs is elected Gorerxor. Citiea and precincts expected to give large Deni&eratic majorities were Bread to have gone the other way when the rtri™ came in arid the general resalt wu considerable of a surprise. Massachusetts Repo Wien ns itf-efectedl Gov. Greenhalge by increased majorities. In spite of its being ■■ off year the ticket went through with more to spare than it
had last year. Retaraa fat atrnMaight Browed that the Dtaneemte elected Both ing and are lucky to be fas the mce at aQ. Big Majorilio* ia Preeeyiweale 'Pennsylvania went Republican with tn creased majorities. The siting, early m
the day Indicated but little interest, and a probable falling off of the rotes of both the big parties. In the Inte hours, however, this was overcome by the rapidly increasing number ofcelectors,’ who appeared at the pools. The vote w as s ally up te expectatioiiWphd the majorities will average 80,000 and< better. In Philadelphia alone there was. a heavy increase in the Republican vote. The city went Republican by 60,000. This may send the toal majority tn the State’ over 100,000. In Ohio Bushnell, the Republican candidate, ia eleoteci Governor over (lampbell by froto 80.000 to 190,000 majority. His vote exceeded that of McKinley right through'fhe State. In addition to electing Bushnell and the rest of the State ticket the Republicans have -fully three-
fourths of each branch of the Legislature, thus enabling them to elect a Republican successor to Brice in the United States Raimfp , . —;—_— the Democrats ap’d even estimated plurality of GO,OOO. The Legislature will he overwhelmingly Republican, and a Republican successor to Senator Allison is thus assured. The vote throughout the State was light, farmers in many sections being too busy in their fields to take the time to go to the polls. The Populists*showed a large gain in their vote, many free silver Democrats giving their ticket Support. In Nebraska T. L. Norval, Republican
candidate for the Supreme bench, is probably elected by 15,000 majority. Maxwell (Pop.) polled less than 60,000, while Phelps (Silver Dem.) got about 25,000; Mahoney, the straight Democratic candidate, will not receive to exceed 10,000. Forty-two precincts out of seventy-six I rn Omaha gave Broatch (Rep.), for Mayor, 800 plurality. His total plurality is estimated at 2,000. Kentucky, Goes Republican. Kentucky has been conceded to the Republicans on the Governorship by the Democrats.- The chairman of thg Republican State committee claims the election of Bradley over Hrfrdin by 15,000 and as- , serfs that the Legislature will be close. He hojK's for party control therein, especially as it will elect a successor to Senator Blackburn. In V irginia the Democrats elected three-fourths of the Legislature. Little interest was taken in the electioft all aver the State. In many cc.-inties there was so little at stake that many negro voters remained at home. The contest in Mississippi was one-sid-ed*. Not more than half the Democratic Vote was polled, and the majority ranges between 30,(100 and 40,000. The principal interest centered in six or eight of the strong Populist cdunties, where there were lively contests over the county offices. . / In Kansas the election of David Marti, the Republican. candidate for , chief justice of the Supreme Court, is conceded The Republicans carried Chicago and Cook. Coubty by pluralities considerably leao thai» those given their ticket one year ago. The Democrats made gains in almost every ward of the city, but their combined gains were not sufficient to overcome the Republican excess in 1894. Farlin Q. Ball, Republican, defeated Richard W. Morrison, Democrat, for the vacancy on the Superior Court bench by 36,098 plurality. For the full term on the same bench Judge Henry M. Shepard, Democrat, was elected without opposition to suoeseda- himself.
