Boston, November SIT is an extremely
quiet and unexciting voting day in Boston,
and in many wards that usually present
lively appearance, the utmost quiet pre-
walls. There are four tickets in the field,
namely: Regular Republican, regular
Democratic, National Labor and Prohibi-
ton.
The following is the total vote of Boston
for Governor: Prince, 22,SO2; Robinson,
lS,4 ,4S6; Sumner, 29S.
Fifty cities and towns give Robinson,
IL, ,446; Prince, 7O45. Same towns in 1888 !:
Robinson, Il, ,967: Butler. 1886.
Seventy-five cities and towns outside of
Boston give Robinson, l6. 26S; Prince. TO-.
734. Same time in 1888: Robinson. 24.7l3:
Butler, 1885.
The Herald saws: The returns from the
State at large are very meager, but, con-
sidering the Democratic loss in Boston
(I245), the indications point to the cleo
ton of Robinson (Republican) by large
majority. One hundred and thirty-four
cities and towns, including Boston. Worces-
ter, Fall River, New Bedford, Fitchburg,
Gloucester, Haverhill, Chelsea and Brock
ton, give Robinson 54,496; Prince, so, ,S22.
The Journal Republican, claims that
Gov. Robinson ia reelected by plurality
of 25 OO1.
The late retnrns have caused MANY sur-
prises in the election of members of the
Senate and House. Lynn has been carried
by the Republicans for the first time in
five wears. and also elected four ont of five
REPRESENTATIVES. In the Lowell senatorial
district Lilly defeats Marden. Democratic
triumph, and Nappen CDemocrat) has been
elected TO the Senate from the South Bos-
ton district, another surprise. Alger Dem
ocaln defeats Chamberlain in the Cam
bridge Senatorial district, which is consid-
cred a great victory by the Democrats.
Morse Democrat) defeats Hart Republic
an in the First Norfolk district. The
plurality of Robinson for Governor will
probably reach over 100000. Fall River,
| despite the labor vote, was carried hy Fob
insol.
One hundred and fifty-nine cities and
towns, including in addition to those al
ready given, Springfield and Taunton, give
Robinson, Republican, for Governor SO.
| 279, Prince, Democrat, 55,53S. Boston
elects 19 Republicans, "a Democrats,
independent Democrat and Independents.
The corrected vote of the city of Boston
stands as follows; Prince, 22,aal; Robin

THERE was not as much interest taken
in the election in Mississippi yesterday as
there ought to have been. The Republi-
cans had no nominees, State or county, and
the Independents made their appearance
in only five counties. This accounts for
the general apathy, the full measure of
which was made apparent at Jackson, the
State capitol, where, ont OF 1000 voters reg.
istered only 300 voted. The negroes were
conspicuous by their absence from the
polls. Those of them that voted did so for
the Democratic tickets, which were every
where elected by large majorities.

GEN. FTzHUGH LEE, elected Governor
OF Virginia yesterday, is a son of the late
Commodore Lee, of the navy, and a
nephew of Gen. Robert E. Lee. He was
educated at West Point and served in the
Federal army, from which he resigned to
enter the Confederate army, where he
rose rapidly to the rank Of major-general
and commanded division of cavalry. He
was a gallant soldier, and in civil life is
known for a plain Democratic farmer
This is his first venture in politics. His
canvass was very earnest one, and was
admirably managed. Gen. Lee will make
a good Governor, and may perhaps be
elected to Mahone's place in the Senate.

THE commissioners for the location oi
an insane asylum in West Tennessee held
a meeting in Nashville yesterday, but did
not reach any conclusion; they therefore
adjourned to Tuesday next, by which
time it is hoped they will see their way
to giving Shelby county the preference
Every reason to guide them to that con
cusion has been given by the city
authorities OF Memphis, and have beer
repeated by the press many times; they
need not therefore be repeated. But we
can say that it will be a sore disappoint.
ment if Memphis and Shelby, the frs
city and richest county in the State, are
not preferred in matter in which they
have as much at stake as all the rest o
West Tennessee put together.

that the Democratic Legislative ticket has
been elected in all of them, which will
give the Democrats good majority in
both houses.
Harrisonburg gives Wise SS majority, q
Democratic gain of 8. The Republicans
concede Rockingham county by about 100,
| Democratic gain of 100. This will re-
turn two members to the House. This
county was considered doubtful. Chester

of 400, gain of $50 over last year. Alle-
| gheny county gives Republican majority
Of 175, Democratic gain of &c. Reports

Shenandoah, both doubtful counties, have
gone Democratic.
Portsmouth City gives Lee 535 majority,

six wards hsard from in the city of Rich

Cities and counties throughout the State
| show large Democratic gain. 1t is esti-
| mated that Lees majority will be Il, 600,
| and that the Democrats will have major

Three hundred and twenty-nine voting

| Democratic gain of 1912. Calculating the

OF gain, Lees majority will approximate
$4,000.
Indications at l o'clock this morning are
that the Democrats will have two-thirds
of the Senate and 80 out Of 110 members
of the House of Delegates. The Hon John
S. Wise comedies Democratic victory.
Seven cities and twenty counties COM

city gives Lee 604 majority. Massey runs
behind the ticket "a votes. The Democrats
carry every ward in the city. Stuart, for
the House of Delegates, has e6l msjority
and is elected.
Alexandria county, outside Of Alexan-
dris city, gives Wise 123 msjority. This
gives the city and county to Lee by 4S1
ma jority, and to Stuart by 5S6 majority.
Reports received at Democratic head
quarters here indicate the election OF
Democratic members of the Legislature in
Fairfax, Culpepper, Orange, Norfolk and
Portsmouth. Winchester gives 8 Demo
cratic msjority of 10, the first time in many
years. the indications are that that the
me- ority will largely exceed that of Cleve
land in the State.
The Gazette says: Returns from all parts
of the State show Democratic gains, and
indicate Lees maj orily will reach 10000.
Already i've or six accessions have been
made to the Democratic side OF the House
OF Delegates, and no losses are reported.
Chairman Barbour, from dispatches re-
eeived by him, is confident the Demo
cratic majority will reach 10000, and in
/ this view Gen. Lee, who is here, concurs.
Mr.. Barbour thinks the msjority in the
Legislature will be fully as large as last
year, when it had two-thirds. Southamp-
| ton, Mahone's own county, gives a Demo
l cratic mai ority of 200, and 50 i. is all over

Half the precincts in Allegheny county
give the Republicans majority of l4i.
At the same ratio the county will give the
Republicans majority of $50, gain of 80.

voting places, and show a net Republican
gain of 104. But little can be heard from
Highland and Bath counties, as they are
remote from telegraph lines. A majority
| in Allegheny is claimed for the Republican
Representative in place of Democrat.
Rockingham and Rock Bridge are close.

composed of eleven Republicans and ten
Democrats, and the House of Assembly of
thirty-six Republicans and twenty-four
Democrats, giving the Republicans a ma
jority Of thirteen upon q joint ballot.
Nine of the Senators holding over are
Republicans, so they will control that
body at the next session if their candi-
dates were successful in any two of the
seven districts in which Senators were
elected to-day. In the First Assembly

HILL, who was elected Governor of New
York yesterday, became Governor in
March last when Cleveland became Presi-
dent by virtue of his haing Lisutenant-Gov-
ernor. He has been in public life for many
years, and served as mayor of Eimirs,
where he was editor of the Gazette, and in
both branches of the Legislature. He was
elected Lieutenant-Governor on the ticket
with Cleveland when he was elected Gov
ernor by the unprecedented majority OF
nearly 100000. Mr.. Hills election is q
signal triumph over slander and abuse
and in face of very earnest and special
opposition by the mugwumps who voted
for Cleveland for President.
