NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Nov. al Spe-
ciall-Incoming returns indicate q gain
for Russell over last years vote, and
also that Grapes friends cut the Allen
ticket and that Allen will carry the city
by about ITS plurality.
GOV. RUSSELL RECEIVES RETURNS.
Governor Russell, Hon. John w.
Corcoran, Hon. John Quincy, Mayor
Matthews, Secretary Dale, of the Demo
cratic State committee, most of Cover
nor Russell's staff and many other we'll
known Democrats were at the Globe
Office during the evening, where they
received the election returns, and from
the outset felt hopeful of the success of
their ticket.
The Governor was the least excited Of
those present, and calmly figured out
relative gains and losses as the figures
were placed before him.
During the night he sent the follow
ing message to Chairman Murphy, of the
New York Democratic State committee:
Enormous vote, probably elected by
5000 majority" Later the returns only
served to make the Governor and his
friends feel that his estimate was none
fidence that his own vote in the State
would be sufficient to elect him. The
acknowledgements and everybody felt
highly elated over the outlook.
At Republican headquarters there
was large gathering of prominent
men Of the party, including, among
others. Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, Hon.
A. e. Pillsbury, Chairman Burdette.
Secretary Wardwell and Commissioner
Merrill, but Candidate Allen remained
at his he me in Lowell.
All talked confidently of Republican
success, but admitted that the outside
towns would have to put in extraordi-
nary work to offset the large Demo-
cratic plurality in Boston.
The Journal and Advertiser, both Re-
publican, concede Russell's election, but
place his plurality at not more than
5000.
At Republican headquarters no one
seemed disposed to make an estimate of
Aliens possible plurality. Up to mid
night returns have been received from
only 100 towns. in place Of $50 or more
last year at the same hour.

ure Of crops in this part of the State and
disaheoted agrioulturalists took oppor-
tunity to vote as calamity howlers of
the Independent party dictated in hopes
of lettering their condition.
This year crops are immense, and
farmers have had no time to organize.
Many of them have returned to the old
party affiliations, but the withdrawal of
the Democratic ticket and the virtual
Endorsement of the independent nomi-
nees gave the latter great strength. In
many of the western counties the
Democrats did not put up local tickets,
but surrendered their strength to inde-
pendents. In most OF the large cities
and towns, including Omaha, faotional
fights complicate affairs.

BALrIMoRE, Nov. 3 Especial The
regular Democracy claim to have elected
their city ticket by an average of 5000
majority.

for Governor, has q majority between
$4,000 and 10000 as Figured out at the

very Incomplete, but they are sufficient
to show that the entire senatorial, State
aud city tickets are elected by in
creased majorities over the vote of two
years ago. Tho Democrats will have q

ton Of Senator German and Demo-
cratic United States Senator in place of

KANSAS.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 3-[Special1
Dispatches received from all parts of
Kansas whore elections are being held
to-day, show that an orderly and closely
contested election is in progress. Per-
haps never in the history of the State
has the situation been more complicated.
Republicans are thoroughly aroused and
fighting the Peoples party hard.
While there are no State officers to be
elected, yet in the judicial districts and
counties party lines are closely defined.
and the fight is waged on general
principles of the Peoples party and
Republican doctrines. Democrats have
no hope OF success, except where they
have fused with the Peoples party, and
the contest with them is moro for
organization than office.
THE ALLIANCE LOSES GROUND.
KANSAS CITY, Nov 3.-ISpeciall-
Dispatches from various counties in
Kansas show that the Alliance did not
hold its own st to days election.
The returns are very slow in coming
in and only AZ, of LOG counties in the
State have been heard from.
These forty-seven counties are scat
tered all over the State and represent
every political phase. In only two of
them have the Alliance made clean
sweep. Harper county has always
been either union labor or Alliance and
Lynn was q strong Alliance county last
year.
The counties show almost invariably
Republican victories or Republican
gains. In tho counties tho Republicans
appear to have regained their foothold,
while in the cities the Alliance has
made slight gains through the citizens
Alliance, but not enough to compensate
them for their losses in the rural dis
tricts.
In the judicial districts returns at hand
indicate that the Alliance had met
wholesale defeat. Republicans and
Democrats combined against the ALI
ance candidates for judges, and voted
for either Republican or Democratic
nominees, Whoever was strongest man.

DUBLIN, Nov. 8. - Especial Mr..
Kenny speaking at the league meeting
to-day denounced Tim Healy's remarks
at Longford as disgrace to Irishmen.
On the announcement that Healy had
been horsewhippied the audience rose
and fervidly cheered,
Healy, at Longford, stated that on
visiting Paris to inquire about the ro-
lease of funds he found telegram
from harrington and Kenny to bank
ers claiming prior lien on the fund
"The bankers did not mind that"
continued Healy; they minded moro
letter from Kitty blocking the relief
fund"
Healy asserted that when he saw a
letter signed by that woman" he
could not help believing that an alli-
ance existed between the descendants
OF the men who betrayed the Irish at
Ballmanuch and the present fomentors
of disorder. In "the league and land
lords and freemasons" they heard a
great deal about "English Dictation. ="

THE ELECTIONS.

The elections are over. The results
contain no startling surprises. New
York is safely Democratic and Ohio
safely Republican. Pennsylvania is
Republican and Massachusetts and
Iowa seem to havere elected Democratic
Governors, with Indications that the
rest of tho Republican tickets are sue
cessful.
In Maryland Frank Brown will be
the next Governor by some $1,000.
Virginia is, as was expected, over
whelmingly Democratic. The result in
Roanoke is peculiar one, and only
Those who arc able to read between the
lines can understand it's significance.
Everybody else must wait until the
spring elections to have the matter
cleared up for their understanding.
On the whole, the Democrats have
reason to be satisfied. They have car
