Iowa-A Blessing In Disguise.
Returns from sixty-seven counties in Iowa
give Boies, democrat for governor, plurality
Of 1900. If the same ratio Of increase holds
in the other counties he will have plurality Of
from 5000 to 10000. Complete returns are not
yet in on the legislature. but those in have
alarmed Senator Allison very seriously. In
Dubuque county the democratic ticket was
elected by majority of 4, 100. a gain Of over
1,2OO over last year. Fully 600 republicans
bolted their ticket and voted for Boies Such
political revolution has never been known in
Dubuque. Senator Allison's ward, which has
always given republican majority of over 200,
gave Boles a majority of 81. The detection was
largely due to the persistent advocacy of pro-
hibitlon by the republican party and the covert
threats By republican speakers that if elected
hutchinson would create state constabulary

antl-prohlbition republicans are responsible for
the change. Ii the next legislature needs the
warming thus given and passes q strong re-

In the empire state the democrats have
majority of %, 96S on the state ticket, which is
gain over the vote Of two years ago Of nearly
1,oO0. The have gained one state senator,
making the upper house stand 10 republicans
and IL democrats, and they have certainly
gained eight and perhaps ten assemblymen
making the lower house II republicans to 81
democrats, thereby reducing a majority of 80
10 ~, winch may come down to 10, or even 8.
The contest in the assembly districts were
fought most bitterly, and the pluralities are
small
The republicans said before the election that
they would get two-thirds majority and thus
pass bills over Gov. Hills veto. The governor
however, has stopped that, for Mr. PIatt could
not hold the majority he had 1t was generally
agreed before the election that Gov. Hill had
dictated the democratic ticket, ana everybody
Is inclined to give him the credit for electing
II and making the legislative gains In New
York city Tammany carried everything except
general sessions judge. Giderseeve was de-
feated by Fitzgerald, who has a large personal
following:
This is the first time since the days of the
Tweed ring that Tammany has carried the city
against the combined opposition Of all other
parties. BY the combination the democrats
lost one state senator, where, in very close
district, usually republican, Charles H. Turner,
tne drlver OF an ice wagon, was defeated by
Lispenard Stewart. millionaire and one Of
the 4OO, by little over 200 votes. If the county
democracy had not run candidate in the dis
trict the ice man would have been elected.
The senators elected yesterday will vote for
a United States Senator to succeed Mr.. Evarts
next year and there was good deal of friction
between Platt and Miller in some districts in
the selection OF candidates. Mr.. Plat is
thought to have them all except one in his
favor.

sey by upward of II, 900 majority. The race in

him his majority The republicans did their
best to keep the majority down, but they have
failed. The republicans capture the senate.
The democrats have the assembly.
Large Republican Gains in Pennsylvania
The latest corrected returns from all parts of
the state show slightly increased plurality for
Henry X. Boyer over the last estimates made
yesterday morning. The latest figures place
his plurality at 60, 23l, which will doubtless be

reason any comparison as to its strength is UNI
satisfactory. The returns thus far received
show net republican gain of 17,154.
