MICHIGAN ELECTION.
Republican Plurality Nearly A6, ooo-Ir

Republican Plurality Naarly A6,OOO-In-
crease of the Prohibition Vote.
DETROIT, April 15.-The official canvass of
the votes cast at the April election in Michi-
gan is taking place In the counties this week.
and already. nearly all the more nopulous
parts of the State have been heard from These
returns indicate that abent two-thirds vote
was cast. and that the Republican plurality
will nearly reach 5000. The dissatisfaction
OF the Temperance Republicans at the. failure
OF the Legislature to submit to the people a
constitutional amendment prohibiting the
liquor traffic resulted in decided increase of
the Prohibition vote. Last fall that party did
not poll 200 votes in the State but now its can
dldates appear to have received between -
OO0 ond $4,000. The Greenbackers also rather
more than preserve their relative strength in
the general falling off-a result due undoubted
~ to the Funding bill agitation. The leading
candidate on the Republican ticket is James
+. joy nominee for University Regent. His
peculiar fitness for the place helped him eener-
rally, but many votes were also cast for him
along the line OF the new Detroit and Butler
Railroad, of which he was an active prom otter.
His colleague on the ticket, Austin Blair.
lately liberal Republican, was cut somew hat
by the more radical wing of the party. The
three constitutional amendments were ratifi ed
by large majorities. In Is judicial circuits of
the State, nine Judges not classed as regular
Republicans are elected, but in some instances
they were chosen without opposition. and in
two cases Independent Republicans were
elected over regular candidates, through local
causes. The Republican control of the
Boards OF Supervisors in all but o few counties
remains undisturbed
