Pennsylvania Gives 10000 Repub-
lican Majority.
Laboring Men Elect a Congressman in
Milwaukee.

The results of yesterdays elections are
not all that Republicans could wish. Espe
cially is this the case in New England. where
the Republicans have met with some severe
losses. In New Hampshire there is no cleo
ton of governor by the people, and in the
First Congressional District, McKenney, the
Democratic candidate, has been elected, ow-
ing, no doubt to the packing of the navy
yard. The Legislature is Republican, which
VIII ensure the election of the Republican
candidate for the geyernorship and the cleo
tion of Republican to succeed the late Sem
ator Pike. In Massachusetts, Ames is elect
ed Governor by largely reduced majority.
In the third district, Leopold Morse defeats
kanney, Republican loss in the ninth Bur
nett defeats Ely, and in the tenth Russell
defeats Rice, both Republican losses. In the
sixth district Henry Cabot Lodge defeats
Lowering, Republican gain. This is a net
Republican loss Of two. So that the Massa-
chusetts delegation in the next House will
stand Republicans to Democrats, unless
the eighth district, which is in
doubt, should elect Democrat In
Connecticut there is no election for governor
by the people, Cleveland, the Democratic
candidate, having plurality but not a ma
Jorlty. The legislature is Republican how
ever, which ensures 1.-The election of Louns-
bury. governor, and Gen. Hawley to the U.
S. Senate.
In New York the principal interest CEN
tered in the mayoralty contest. Hewitt is
elected mayor, as was generally expected,
but George polled nearly 10000 votes, a
higher figure than any but his most san
guine supporters predicted. Apparently
good many Republicans, fearing that he
would be elected, voted for Hewitt and so
Mr.. Roosevelt comes in third Reports from
the Congressional districts are meagre, but
the indications are that the next delegation
will be made up as to politics
about as the present one. 1t is posi-
BILE that the Republicans elect Daniels for
judge of the court of appeals, and
the legislature is!undoubtedly Republican,
ensuring Republican successor to Sena-
tor Miller. Returns from Pennsylvania are
meagre but they indicate that the Republi-
cans have carried the State by good plur-
allty. In Virginia, Cabell Democrat for
Congress has been defeated by labor can
didate, and it looks as If the Democrats had
met with another loss in the Richmond dis
trict. In the Second North Carolina Dis
trict, 0'Hara, Republican, is defeated, Re-
publican loss. In Tennessee the Republi-
cans have elected Houk but have lost Taylor
in the Tenth District, Republican loss of
one. The Democrats have carried their
State ticket by $4,000 majority.
uReports from the West are meagre, but the
returns indicate generally Republican gains.
In Ohio the Republicans gain three or four
Congressman; in Illinois one as far as heard
from; in Wisconsin they gain one and lose
one in the Milwaukee District where the La
Dor candidate is elected Indiana shows
some Republican gains. California proba-
bly, elects the Republican ticket There is
nothing definite from Michigan. AS far as
the returns are received the Republican
gains and losses on Congressional districts
appear to about balance each other.
