GOVERNOR GREENHALGE
He Carries the Bay state by Hand
some Maiorify

BosroS. Nov. THE Bay slate has
been redeemed, and Charles +.
Greenhalge OF Lowell will be the
next governor. John 4. Russell
the democrat candidate for governor il
defeated by 1900 majority. and the
whole republican state ticket is elected.
The legislature Is strongly republican.
National issues entered largely into the
canvass and the result Of today's elec-
ton shows the state to be republican
where the popularity OF candidates is
thrown aside for more mighty issues.
BosroN. Nov. IA full state ticket
from governor downward was selected
in this state. together with legislature.
The democrats nominated John f Rus
sci. who. although Of the same name,
is no relation TO the present governor
The hard times checked the ten
dency toward free trade among
the mill operators throughout the
state, and as a result it was
only a couple OF days ago that Francis
Hobart. one of the democrat leaders,
said that the prospect OF the party car
rying the state this year was practically
hopeless. There were two third party
tickets in the field. one representing the
prohibitionists, the other the peoples
party. The nominee OF tho former is
the Rev. DIR. Banks. formerly OF Oregon.
and now pastor OF the Temple street
methodist episcopal church. Some
years ago he was shot on the street in
the state Of Washington as a result of
his vigorous advocacy OF tho temper
ance cause. Heroic treatment, how
ever. saved his life.
The republican party managers car
ried on the campaign on wholly national
issues The democrats pressed state
issues 10 the front more persistently
than the republicans and had q more
definite program than the latter. The
democrats were content 10 let the record
OF the three years governorship OF the
other Russell speak For itself and waited
for the republicans 10 show the necessity
for defending il. No serious mistakes
committed by the democrat state execu-
tive. aud some commendable facts and
suggestions were placed 10 his credit

Vessel Owners Say Ia Has Been q
Disastrous Season

CLEVELAND, Nov. THE lake season
OF 1888 is nearing its close and the
majority Of vessslmen draw a long
breath OF relief that the most disastrous
season In recent years IL over. The ship
ments have been smaller ia two i'm port
ant items-coal and iron ore-than ;ast
year. though somewhat larger IN wheat
The total ore coming down the lakes
this season will not exceed 100000
tous, which is an outside figure. il will
still be 100000 tons or 40 per cent short
OF last year. Such a shortage in ore
could not fail to beat down rates The
falling of in coal shipments helped. To
the close Of October. $4,000 tons less
hard coal went out OF Buffalo than last
year. and the proportionate decrease
in bituminous coal shipments Is much
greater. As q result OF the bad sea
son in lake freights. ship building is
practically al standstill. The impress
SIGN prevails among a large class OF
owners and brokers that there has been
oyerbuilding. and no one is willing 20
take the risk OF adding new boats 10 the
list with the probability staring him in
the face Of a profitable season next
year. With the exception OF the two
splendid Northern Line passenger
steamers building at the Globe yards in
this city. practically nothing OF noto IL
doing at any Of the lake yards aud moth

WORK AT THE POLLS
What the Issues Were in the Buckeye
state.


CLEVELAND, o.. Nov. THE ticket
voted today was for governor. lieutenant
governor. state treasurer. attorney gen.
eral. judge OF the supreme court board
OF public works, dairy and food commits
sioner and full upper and lower houses
of the legislature. There was also a
county ticket Interest in this city Gen.
tered in the candidates for governor on
the republican and democratic tickets
Both republicans and democrats were
well organized and made a strong effort
to get out full vote. In the manufac-
turing centers the vote was unusually
heavy. Nine out OF ten tickets were
voted straight The democrat machine
in Cincinnati gave Neal it's full sup
port.
At noon no serious disturbances had
occurred in the state and nearly three
fourths OF the vote was in. an event
never before known. The republicans
were very confident Of the cleo
ton OF Mckinley by from 5000
TO 5000, which the democrat state
committee would not concede. There
has never been an election in Ohio
in which so many uncertain elements
entered into the conditions. Besides
the tariff. silver and pension questions.
with date issues. the liquor question has
been big factor at many points The
local tickets over the state have been
scratched beyond all precedent Demo
Gratis as rule will make no bets on gen.
eral results unless given big odds.
William A. Taylor, the democrat can
didate for lieutenant governor. said at
noon that Neal would have 10000 plu-
rality, but Chairman Dick OF the repub-
lican committee laughed at this state
ment and said that Mckinley's plurality
would be three times that figure.

Australian Rallot system usetl

TorExA, Kan. Nov. The vote in
Kansas today has been light Meagre
returns indicate falling on as com
pared with last year OF about 10 per
cent in the total number Of votes cast.
Most Of these bsve been in tho extreme
western counties and In those counties
in which only passive canvas was
made. IL having been the policy OF both
populists and republicans to pay no at
tenticn to those counties ~ the result
was considered certain. The Australian
ballot system was used In Kansas for
the first time and caused much con-
fusion.
