Election Returns.
About the only certainty indicated by
returns SO far received from Tuesdays
election is that the democrats have car
ried New York and the republicans Ohio.
Iowa and Massachusetts are close. At
this writing it looks favorable for the
democrats in the former state.
In New York the republican state COM
mittee concede the election of Flower.
The New York Tribune places his plu.
rality at $1,000. Fassett was beaten at
his own home, Elmira. Fassett's majority
above Harlem bridge will not exceed
that of Davenport in 1S85-49,271-while
Flowers majority south of Harlem will
be over 10000. Eight hundred and fifty
four election districts outside of New
York city give Flower 77,3O7, Fassett 49,
4O3; 854 precincts in the city give Flower
1925, Fassett 1927. The strong re-
publican counties in the north have not
been heard from, but cannot overcome
Flowers big vote. The American Press
association estimates Flowers majority
in Kings county (Brooklyn) at $4,000.
Ohio went McKinley's way. The demo-
Gratis concede his election and the ques-
ton is only one of majority. The Lincoln
club of Cincinnati estimates McKinley's
majority In Hamilton county at $500 and
in the state from $4,000 to 10000. In
106 precincts outside Of Cincinnati Nc
Kinley has 14,2lo, Campbell 1858. Re-
ports say republicans are making big
gains throughout the state.
Reports from Massachusetts are very
meagre. A New York World bulletin
says Russell (democrat has been elected
by from 5000 to 1OOnO, but the figures
sent out hardly bear out the claim. The
latest figures are: 125 towns give Russell
1921, Allen 21,28o. The same towns
last year gave Russell 14.175, Brackett
1873. In Boston 81 of 2O5 precints give
Allen 1887, Russell 30,795.
In South Dakota Jolley seems to be
elected. One hundred and ninety-two
precincts. including large towns, except
Yankton, and 10 out of 81 county seats,
give Jolley 5,457, Smith 1888, Woods
POTS. Another report says returps from
172 precincts in 80 counties east of the
Missouri river and all of those west give
Jolley 7,419, Wood 2,945. Smith 4,0O1.
Republicans are hopeful OF electlng
Wheeler governor. The returns, how
ever, are not exhileratine and the indioa-
tions are that Boies (democrat) is elected
governor, bat that the remainder Of the
republican state ticket has a safe plu-
rality. From Des Moines the report
comes that there are no definite returns
from legislative districts. but that the
republicans are hopeful. The Des Moines
Leader says: '"The day was ours. Iowa
rolls up an increased democratic piu-
rality. Governor Boies for President
The democratic masses of the west still
lead the people. Iowa farmers we're With
Boies. Democratic gains all over the
state. 1856 precincts give Wheeler 65.-
561, Boles 66,993; net democratic gain
$40"
A telegram Wednesday afternoon says
the Iowa republican state committee con-
cede the election of Boise by 5000, but
CLAIM the balance of the state ticket ex-
cept railway commissioner. The demo-
Gratis concede the house Of representa-
tives to the republicans, but claim the
senate.
The republicans carry majority OF
the counties in Kansas and have big gains
all over the state. The alliance party
lost strength.
