BosToN, November 9-Republican fig
ures at headquarters virtually cOncede
the election of Governor Russell by 1897
plurality.
BosToN, November 9.-Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the last legislature did
away with the 'sdouble count which
caused so much trouble at the state
election last fall as regards the receipt of
the returns, never before has there been
so much annoyance caused by the delay
in securing anything definite and au-
thenic as to the vote of Massachusetts as
there was last night.
Up to a. m. complete returns had
not been received from single city in
the Commonwealth, and the returns
from the towns were very meagre.
The Republicans have made handsome
gains in the Congressional field in Mass
achnsetts.
The present Democratic machine in
| the city of Boston has received
its death blow in the result Of the four
cornered fight in the Tenth District be-
tween Michael J. McEttrick, Indepen-
| dent Democrat; VIM. S. McNary, regu-
| lar Democrat; Harrison FL. Atwood, reg
ular Republican and Richard G. Humph
reys Independent Republican. In that
district McEttrick Is elected handsome
somely. This means the passing of
Mayor Matthew'S and big split in the
Boston Democracy.

the following congressman, Republi-
| can gain of four. In the 11th district

CoNNECTlCuT'S LEGISLATURE
1t is Republican and 1t Has To Choose a
United States Senator.
HARTFORD, Conn.,, November 9.-Noth-
ing in the later returns received by the
Courant Republican, changes the result
here materially. Cleveland's plurality is
about 5000. The report that sufficient
prohibition and acattering votes were
cast to prevent Morris's majority is not
confirmed by the drift of the official re-
turns, more than half of which
are in. The congressional delegatlon
win stand one Republican and three
| Democrats The state senate is tie.
