RESULTS IN THE STATES
Mckinley Triumphantly Elected by
His Ohio Neighbors.
NEW YORK'S A SAD BACKSLlDER.

The Result In Massachusetts is Uncertain
with Perhaps "a Slight Advantage In
RusseII's Favor-The Vote Coming In
slowiy-Pe nnsy sylvania Shows Up Well
for Republicanism.
Yesterday was fine weather for election
day and the vote was extremely heavy
everywhere. Returns have come in and
are still coming with almost unprece-
dented slowness, the Australian ballot
and new methods of counting, which in
sure accuracy but take time, interfering
with prompt knowledge of results.
In Massachusetts the election is eXtrem-
ely close. The State was at first given TO
Russell but later figures indicate a posi-
BILE victory for Allen, Western Massachu-
setts rolling up large Republican gains.
In New York the tiger had struck his
claws too deep into the commonwealth
and the people will still groan under the
rule of this striped iniquity Tammany
poured out money like water and Flowers
barrel was sadly drained. From 25 900 60
10000 plurality is the range for the stolen
coat OF arms. And yet the result in one
respect is encouraging. The Tammany
vote was far below the estimate In New
Guy, anu II lut SlTOits
holds up the State had piled up their
usual majorities the day might have told
a different tale. From Harlem up Fassett
lost as compared with Miller's vote of
1888 But New York city, the citadel of
Democracy, is weary of Tammany, and
her vote showed she may yet fling the
yoke from her shoulders
Sheehan ran behind his ticket. The
assembly is doubtful. The Democrats
have probably elected the three vacant
seats in the congressional delegation, AL
fred G.. Chaplin in the second district. w.
Bourke Cochran in the tenth district and
Joseph j. Little in the twelfth district
The Democrats also elected Judge Ingra-
ham TO the bench of the Supreme Court

and Roger a. Pryor as judge of the Court
of Common Pleas.
Nehemiah NJ. Curtis, Republican, was
elected 10 Congress from the twenty
second district.
In Ohio Mckinley wins triumphantly.
His majority is not less than 10000 and
may touch $4,000, Returns have come in
very slowly, but from the first it has been
evident that Ohio was vindicating glori-
ously her great son. The constitutional
amendment ard the question Of an appro-
priation for "A constitutional convention
attracted very little attention.
Pennsylvania is reclaimed to Republi-
canism Gen. Gregg is elected State
treasurer by SO,UOO TO 0U,UOO majority.
George Mc(ireary CRep) is elected city
treasurer, of Philadelphia, in place of
John Bardsley, over Edward Wright by
handsome majority.
Kansas is all right. Big Republican
gains are noted in every part of the state
Nine district judges and number of local
officers were voted for IL is hard to tell
yet TO what extent the strength of the
Alliance was broken.
Colorado's election passed off quietly
Judge Helm tRep.) was elected TO the
chief justiceship. In the city of Denver
the Republicans elected their entire mu-
nicipal ticket.
In Michigan, il is probable that Belknap,
Republican candidate for Congress from
the fifth district, was elected
In South Dakota, Jolley, Republican
candidate for Congress, TO fill the Gamble
vacancy, WAS elected. .......
New Jersey went Democratic, as was
expected. The Democrats held their
majorities in both branches of the Legis-
latures
The Democrats carried Mississippi and
Maryland. The vote in Baltimore was
light. the Australian ballot dscouraging
iliterate voters. Gov. Brown has large
majority, and the Legislature is Demo
cratic by joint ballot by 80 or 40.
Virginia gives large Democratic figures.
