county candidates In favor Of Davenport. Hili

hand his pastors were generously used ON

bracing, and induced large vote.
From the earliest moment Of the count II was
evident that Davenport had been defeated the

the Blaine maiorities, while in the counties
named IL was plain TO be seen that Hill had sus-

The following are editorial excerpts from the
New York journals:
The World: The result of the election In this
State is the rebuke of two things-the bloody
shirt and the bloodless mugwump. David b.
Hill is chosen Governor by a majority probably
fifteen or twenty times as large as was given to
Mr.: Cleveland last year. The mugwumps have
failed to "strengthen and support Mr. Cleve-

The Republican State Ticket Elected by
from 5000 to 1000.

Iowa elected Governor and other State off,
GERS and Legislature. The latter will elect a
successor to Hon. VIM b. Allison, Republican,
In the United States Senate. A Des Moines dis-
patch of the 4th says: Returns from 800 ofs the
l,703 voting precincts in the State give Larrabee
AZ, I'll and Whiting A, 399--a net Republican gain
OF Its. It seems certain that Larrabee
and the entire Republican State ticket
are elected by from 5000 to 1000
majority. 1t must be remembered,
however, that only about one-ffth of the State
has been heard from, and that nearly all the re-
turns are from cities and large towns. The
Republican gains in the precincts heard from
average six votes to the precinct over the vote
of two years ago. when Sherman had 1000 ma
jority for Governor II this ratio is maintained
the majority will be ii 900. There are almost
no returns on the Legislative vote, but such
have been received show that the Republican
Legislative candidates have in almost every
case run behind the State ticket The Demo
Gratis have ceased TO claim the election of their
State ticket, but insist that they have carried
