NEW YORK, Nov. S.-One of the m oSt
peculiar campaigns in the history of
! the state was closed at sundown last
| evening. And it is safe to say the dem
ocratic managers are not more sur
prised at the result than are the repub-
| licans The dominant issue in all por-
tions of the state has been ring rule,
and the republicans in New York City,
Brooklyn, Albany and Buffalo have
| been greatly assisted by the organ
| lied efforts of independent democrats
Isaac II. Maynard, the candidate on
the democratic ticket for judge of the
court of appeals, against whom inde-
pendent democrats have waged war
most bitter and unrelenting, has been
surprisingly and overwhelmingly de-
tfeated. In New York city he ran 35, 900
behind his ticket, in Brooklyn over 49,
900 and in Erie county several thou
sand.
Almost without exception the re-
turns from every part of the state
show he was heavily scratched. Even
ten of ''Boss" McKane's retainers at
Coney Island scratched him. The re.
suit at this time seems to be that he
has been defeated by plurality close
in the neighborhood of 100, 900.
| Practically complete returns from
many of the counties of the state and
scattering returns from the others in
dicate the republicans have elected
their entire state ticket. and that they
| will have good working ma jority in
| the next legislature.
In Brooklyn the local campaign was
fought most bitterly. Mayor Boody,
who was renominated by the demo-
Gratis, was opposed by the Young Mems
Independent democratic club of Brook
lyn most fiercely, and the republican
candidate, Charles A. Schieren, was
indorsed, with the result the demo-
cratic majority of $4,000 at the last
election has been overturned and re-
publican mayor elected by about 5000.
William j. Gaynor, the prominent
democrat, who, for the past two years,
has led in the fight against Boss Nc
| Laughlin and his ring, was nominated
| by the republicans for supreme court
Judge in the Second district, with the
result of 90, 900 majority for him.
! The local contest in New York city
was very interesting, the epublicans
| making but small effort in behalf of
their local ticket. The complete re-
, turns for the day show the election of
the entire Tammany ticket by ma jor-
tiles ranging between $1,000 and 6S, 600.
Massachusetts.
Boston, Nov S-The result of the
| election in this state can only be de-
scribed as a huge political landslide.
For the first time in three years, the
state will have republican governor
-x,I l.. ~,
whole ticket is elected with him and
the legislature is solidly re-
publican in both branches. Can
did democrats had conceded the
defeat of John E. Russell, their
candidate for governor, by small ma
jority while even the most sanguine
republicans would not claim over Is, 900
for Greenhalge The astonishing re-
suit is attributed by those democrats
who will talk about it to the present
| industrial depression, aided by the fact
that Massachutts is normally repub-
lican state, as is always proved by her
| vote on presidential candidates The
republicans are SO jubilant that they
| care very little about the cause.
Chicago.
CHICAGO, Nov. S.-The election seems
to be about standoff. At midnight
the returns indicated the republicans
had elected the entire judicial ticket
and the democrats had secured the
| county commissioners inside the city.
The judicial ticket has heretofore been
on non-partisa9 basis, but this year
the democrats broke away and nomi-
mated a ticket of their own and the re-
publicans seem to have elected every
judicial candidate.
The great fight has been over the
| election of Judge Gary, who presided
! at the trial of the anarchists. At the
time Gov. Altgeld pardoned the an
archists he made a severe attack on
Gary, and the fight has been Gary
against the state machine with the re-
suit that Gary seems not only to have
polled the full repu blican strength but
to have drawn on the democratic vote
as We'll In almost every precinct he
was from 5 to 10 per cent ahead of the
balance of the ticket. The general re-
suit shows decisive republican gains
over the presidential election of year
ago.
Nebraska.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. S.-Returns from
the state are coming in slowly. The
scattering reports received indicate re-
