which elections were held last Tues
day, and stated that the greatest in
terest from q National standpoint
was centered in the States of Massa
chusetts, New York, Ohio, Illinois
and Iowa. Bst the Republicans
have forced the fighting in other
and even more solidly Democratic
States than the above and their eff
forts have been crowned with the
grandest and most merited success
The victory which emblazens the
banners of that grandest of parties
was far more sweeping than even the
most sanguine and Oldest Republi-
cans could have even dared to hope.
The returns all indicate the most
hattering gains in every State, and
the ballots Of the good people of
these thirteen States have sent out
to the Nation at large, prOnuncia-
mento in thorough vindication of
the Protection theory of the Repub-
lican party and the purity and hon
esty of the ballot.
Pennsylvania carries the banner
with $4,000 Republican majority.
In Massachusetts,, Greenhalge the
Republican candidate for Governor,
has a plurality of about $4,000. At
no point in the State have the Dem
ocrats gained a single vote.
In New York, Maynard the Su-
preme Court Judge, who was a can
didate for reelection and who was
the creature of Tammany, buoyed up
and pushed to the front by Hill and
Croker,its chiefs, to reward his Grim
inal acts for party supremacy, was
defeated by the stinging majority OF
10000. The last Legislature which
was Democratic re-districted the
State in manner that they thought
it impossible for the Republicans for
years to come ever to gain control
of the Legislature, but with all their
and finesse did not sue
ceed in gerrymandering a sufficient
number of districts to preclude the
from regaining both
of the Legislature with a
fair working majority in each.
The most gratifying reports come
from New Jersey, where the race
rack and gambling element were
Ditted at the polls against those law
abiding citizens who are lovers of
pure ballot and a fair ana honest
count of the votes cast. The law
md order element were grandly vic
5orious, the Legislature, the first time
'or many years is Republican, and
he corrupt race track gang laid
quietly to rest in a sepulchre of their
own making. A fitting rebuke was
to the Democratic |
leelers of Hudson county where the
candidate for Sheriff, Mr.
John J. ToRey was elected notwith-
the most corrupt methods
of the Democratic hosts.
In Ohio, the State where the great
ssue was that of Protection as
.gainst Free Trade, the State where
Nm. Mckinley was the candidate
or reelection as Governor, the Re
1ublicans have swept everything and
their gubernatorial candi-
late by $4,000 majority as against
900 for Harrison one year ago. The
eturns from this State were eagerly
watched for by both parties and that
hey are a source of rejoicing to the
party of the Nation, is
,ut to mildly express their un-
bounded enthusiasm and interest in
be election of Mckinley and the
of the principles he advo-
ates.
In Iowa the people are evidently
own on C@sarism. Governor Boies,
rho for the third time was a candi-
ate for Governor, met with signal
efeat. jackson, the Republican, {
vas elected by mole than 25, 900 ma
ority. The Legislature is Republi- l
an, which insures the election of a i
to the U. S. Senate. I
In Illinois, the Republicans made /
aims throughout the entire State. +
IL the Republican candidates for 7
ldges were elected with the excep-
on of Kraft, whose rumored Social
tic tendencies evidently caused his d
efeat. Il
In the other States the news is '
.tisfactorY to the Republicans. In Q
D State have the Democrats made
~ gains. 2
In all the States excepting New q
ork, New Jersey and Pennsylva- a
a, the elections were carried on \
iietly and without the semblance Q
trouble or contention, but in New ii
ork, at Grayesend, an absolute de- X
nee of law characterized the cleo s
IN. Law availed nothing, physical d
rec was paramount to all else. u
cKane the Democratic boss, openly an
fed the mandates of the Supreme q, sS
