centred in New York. The Republicans
claimed that, judging from the registration,
the Democrats would not be able to poll
plurality of more than $1,000 to ii, 900
votes in New York city, and that the Re
publican vote above the Harlem river would
easily overcome this and the Democratic
plurality in Brooklyn. In this the Repub-
lican calculations were entirely at fault.
The Democrats pOlled the enormous vote
of ia, 1924 in New York city, gaining pu-
rality of IS, 4S4 over the Republicans. The
Democratic plurality in Kings county
(Brooklyn) is over $4,000. The Republi-
can vote in the rest of the state fell far
short of expectations, with the exception
of the vote in Albany, where decided Re-
publican gains were made. Clevelands 5
plurality in the state as a whole will vary
little from $4,000. Fourteen Republican
RAd twenty Democratic congressman have
probably been elected. The state assembly
stands "a Republicans to "A Democrats.
Massachusetts.
While Massachusetts gives Mr.. Harri-
son plurality of about $4,000 votes
against little upward of 5000 in 1888,
Gov Russell has been reelected by a small
plurality. The gubernatoral vote was so
close that the result was in doubt until
yesterday, when returns from all but four
or five towns showed that Russell would
have plurality of 1900 or 1900 votes.
The Republicans have undoubtedly gain
ed four congressman in the state. A par
ticularly gratifying result is the defeat OF
George Fred Williams, the young Demo
| cratic mugwump, in the Eleventh district,
by Gen. William B. Draper, the president
of the Home Market club. In the Seventh
district Henry Cabot Lodge defeats DR.
William Everett, another of the young
Massachusetts, mugwumps, by plurality
of 2760. Gilett in the Second, Walker in
the Third, Cogswell in the Sixth, Mccall
in the Eighth, Morse in the Twelfth ant
Randall in the Thirteenth, all Republicans
are elected. In the Tenth, McEttrick, In
dependent Democrat, is elected, and in thu
Fourth, Apsley, Republican, is thought t.
have defeated Coolidge.
Connecticut.
Cleveland has plurality in Connection
of $500, the largest given to any presiden
tal candidate by that state in long tern
of years. Morris, the Democratic candi
date for governor, is elected by 1869 vote
over ALL The Democrats elect three of tn
six congressman. The Republicans hav
a majority of about so in the house; tn
senate is tie.
Indiana,
The vote in Indiana is close, but tn
state is Democratic by a plurality whic
will reach 5000 or 5000. Ten out of Is c
the Congressman are probably Democrat
and the legislature on joint ballot will Civ
a Democratic majority of 25 or 30, insu
ing return of David Turpie to the Unite
States Senate.
Illinois,
The greatest surprise of the election wa
the way i'm which the heretofore stanc
Republican state of Illinois was turne
over to the Democracy. The Republica
state committee comedies the state to I'll
Democrats on the national and state ticl
cts and admits the election of II of the :
congressman by the Democrats. I'll
Democratic plurality in the state is 5000
10000 against %, ,104 four years ago. I'll
state will have Democratic governor f
the first time in 80 years. The overturn
