Elections.

Elections.
JACKSON, Miss, Nov. 3.-The election
to-day passed off quietly. Indications are
that the vote is unusually light jackson
polled $50, registered 1000. Negroes gen.
orally refrained from voting. The light
vote is to be accounted for because of there
being no ticket in the field except the reg
ular Democratic state ticket. In few
counties, having local disaffections, the vote
is divided, and few Independents may be
elected to the legislature and to county
offices.
7ss I'D CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-The election in this
city and county to-day was for justice Of
the supreme court of Illinois to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of Justice II.
Lyle Dickey, judge of the superior court
of Cook county. The Republicans nomi-
mated Benjamin D. McGruder for the SUI
preme court, and the Democrats concurred
in the nomination. The Republicans pre-
sented Gwynn Garnett for superior court
Judge and the Democrats William j.
Hynes. Both parties presented their
own candidates for commissioners, and
owing to the failure of a portion of the
Republican press to support all the Repub
lican nominees ''split'' ticket was printed
and offered to voters, containing the names
of portion of the nominees of each party.
The contest over the election of county
commissioners was provoked by the condi-
ton Of the county finances and the declara-
ton that the present management has
been reckless and extravagant. The chief
contest, however, was over the adop-
ton or rejection of the new election law
passed by the last session of the Illinois
legislature. The new law provides for
small voting precincts, and is framed very
closely after the New York law. The Re-
publican and Independent movement IA
vored the new law, while the Democrats
opposed its adoption. At 10 o'clock from
returns received the Inter Ocean figures that
the city election law is undoubtedly carried.
Other authorities are not certain. 1t looks
as though the Democrats were gaining
ground where county commissioners are
concerned. The returns are now about
half received.
DETROIT.
DETROIT, Nov. 3.-The election in this
city was for full municipal ticket. Mayor
Grummond was nominated for reelection
by the Republicans, and was opposed by
Marvin FL. Chamberlain. whom he defeated
two years ago, The chief interest centered
in the aldermanic contest, special members
of corrupt ring being up for reelection.
A mixed result is anticipated.
MARYLAND.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 3.-The election in
MARYLAND was for a comptroller of the
state, clerk of the court of appeals, all the
members of the house of delegates and
nineteen members of the senate. In the
city of Baltimore clerks of the courts, and
throughout the state county officers were
chosen.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 4, 1:46 a. m.-Partial
returns up to this hour from all sections in
dicate considerable Democratic gains
throughout the Eastern section, while
Western Maryland, already Republican, is
about holding the regular vote. The Dem
ocratic majority on the state ticket is esti-
mated at IL, 600 to $4,000.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. 3.-The election
passed off quietly and resulted in a sweeping
victory for the regular Democratic ticket in
this city. The returns are not all in at mid
night. So far as heard from not a single Fu-
sionist candidate is elected. The state returns
rae coming in very slowly, but the lndica-
tions point to Democratic success in nearly
all the counties, which insures a working ma
jority in both branches Of the state legisla-
ture.
VICTORIOUS DEMOCRATS.
DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 3.-The munich
pal election to-day was decisive victory
for the Democrats. Their candidate for
mayor, Marvin 81. Chamberlain, defeated
Mayor Grummond, Republican candidate
for reelection, by about 2, 600 majority. The
rest of the Democratic city ticket is elected
by majorities ranging from 1,500 to $500
excepting clerk, Dust, the Republican nom
inee, receiving a majority of about 1900
for that place. Each party elect nine al
dermen and the upper house will stand
nine Democrats to two Republicans. Every
member of the corrupt ring which has been
running the city, who was renominafed,
was defeated, irrespective of party.

cratic members of the legislature. Demo
