The record-union., 1891-11-03

The Republicans hope to carry the other
| three. In the Assembly they expect to
gam at least two members. They also
hope to regain several members in dis
tricts which went Democratic unexpect-
edly last year. The next Assembly
will probably stand So to % in favor of
the Democrats. Allen l.. McDermott,
Chairman of the Democratic State Com
mittee, is confident of electing all seven
OF the Senators, which would make the
Senate 10 Democrats and Republicans.
MASSACHUSETTS.
Boston, Nov. 2.-The election in Massa-
chusetts tomorrow is for Governor and
other State officers and Executive Coun-
Gil and Legislature. Two amendments to
the Constitution will also be voted on, one
| abolshing poll-tax as prerequisite for
voting, the other making a majority of
the members quorum in each branch of
the Legislature. Five tickets are in the
| held for State officers, as follows: Repub-
llcan-Governor, Charles II. Allen; Lieu
| tenant-Governor, William ii. Hale;
| treasurer, George A. Marsden; Secretary
| OF State, William NJ. Olin; Auditor, J Ohm
| W. Kimball; Attorney General, Albert
q. Plllsbury. Democratic = Governor,
| William e. Russell; Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor, John w. Corcoran; Secretary of
| state, Eldridge Cushman; Treasurer, j..
| ,. Grlnnell; Auditor, William D. T. Ire

| ball; Lieutenant-Governor, Augustus r.
Smith. Peoples = Governor, Henry
| Winn; Lieutenant-Governor, William j.
! Shields. ist-Labor-Governor, Hy.
| w. Robinson; Lieutenant Governor, G..
r. Pearce.
The campaign has been one of the
most vigorous ever fought in Massa-
| chusetts. The Democrats are confident
that Governor Russell will be reelected,
/ ana have some hope for tho rest OF the
| State ticket. The Republicans have no
| doubt of the election of all candidates on
| their ticket, save Governor, and expect a
/ plurality of at least 10000 for Colonel
Allen. In view of the expected increase
IN the total vote, it will indicate land
slide not now expected if the Democrats
| elect any State officers after Governor.
The Republicans will retain majority
IN the House and probably secure small
| majority in the Senate.
PENNSYLVANIA.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2.-Pennsylvania
will tomorrow vote for Auditor General,
State Treasurer, and for or against the
holding of q Constitutional Convention
The candidates are: Auditor General,
David Mem. Gregg, Republican; Robert
q. Wright, Democrat; William Hague,
| ProhibitioniSt; State Treasurer, John w.
Morrison, Republican; Adelert l.. Tilden,
Democrat; George Drayton, Prohibition.
| While the State usually gives decided
majority for the Republican ticket. the
Democrats contend that the recent treas
ury exposures will bring to the support
| of their ticket the votes of many dissatis-
lied Republicans, or cause others of that
! party TO refrain from voting. This the
Republican leaders will not admit. They
| claim that they will receive nearly, if not
| quite, a full party vote for an Off year. In
support of this claim they point to the
fact that there is no disagreement Of any
kind among the party leaders, as
was last year, when Pattison Dem.) was
elected Governor over Delamater (Rep.)
by a plurality of 1854.
Chairman Waters of the Republican
| Committee to-day estimated the ma
lority for the Republican ticket at $4,000
TO $4,000. Chairman Kerr of the Demo-
cratic State Committee claimed that the
| Democrats would come to Philadelphia
with $4,000 majority. AS the Republi-
cans only claim Is, 900 majority in Phila-
delphia, this would leave 1900 Demo
cratic majority. The Democratic leaders
also claim that Tilden, candidate for
State Treasurer, will run strongly ahead
| Of his ticket.
MARYLAND.
BALTIMORE, Nov. EVERY elective
officer in Maryland from Governor down
will be voted for on Tuesday. All parties
concede the election of Frank Brown
! (Democrat) for Governor. The best that
even the sponsors for his opponent Wan
| Mort, Republican, ever claimed was that
he would reduce the Democratic major
lty. Fifteen thousand majority is claimed
for Brown. The election of Brown by a
large majority is interpreted to mean the
election of the entire Democratic State
ticket. The Legislature is regarded as
surely safe for the reelection of United
| States Senator German. In such an event
a Democrat will succeed Senator Wilson,
| who died shortly before the adjournment
of the last Congress.
VIRGINIA.
RICHMOND (Va.), Nov. 2.-The election
| in this State tomorrow is for the pur-
i pose of selecting an entire House of Dele
gates and half of the Senate No State
question is involved. The Republicans
as party have refrained from placing
candidates in the field, although here and
| there Republican or Independent NAV
be found. The Democratic candidates,
| in the main, are Alliance men, and, while
some were nominated for that reason,
others were not. It is safe to say the
Democrats will carry at least seventy
| counties in the State, but majority OF
those so elected will probably be in sym
pathy with the Alliance.
CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, Nov. "A close, exciting
election, the first under the new Aus
tralian election law, is expected in this
city and county tomorrow The main
| interest turns on the choice of three
| Drainage Trustees, who will have the
handling of some 100000 to be eX-
pended in making canal from Chicago
to connection with the Illinois River, for
the purpose primarily of disposing of the
city sewerage, with ultimate use for COM
mercial purposes. There are four tickets
in the field = Republican, Democratic,
! Prohibition and Labor. The outcome
cannot be predicted. The non-partisan
! Superior Court Judges viii be chosen
without opposition.
