NEW YoRK, Nov. s.-An political fac
tions looked on with wonderment and
surprise when the results of yesterday s
election became known. The vote
polled for secretary of state by the
New York democracy, of which Tam
many hall is the head, was fully 10. 600
below their expected majority The
greatest struggle of the campaign was
conferred in the contest for associate
judge of the court of appeals, and has
probably greatly Influenced the general
voter throughout the state, the candi-
dacy of Isaac H. Maynard having been
greatly opposed. Maynard fell con-
siderably behind his ticket and polled
30 367 votes less than east for secretary
of state. Practically complete returns
from many counties of the state and
scattering returns from the city indi-
cate that the republicans have elected
the entire state ticket and that they
will have good working majority in
the next legislature. the democrats
concede the state to the republicans by
$1,000 majority. The republicans have
also carried the lower branch of the
legislature, but the senate is not con
ceded by the dem 1cratic leaders. The
republicans claim a good majority in
the law-making body, but the demo-
Gratis say it will be close, and some
maintain that they viii retain control
COLUMBUS. Ohio, Nov. s.-With plu-
rality of $4,000 and two-thirds of both
branches of the legislature, Mckinley
has won the most decisive victory re-
corded in Ohio since the civil war. The
weather was pleasant all over the state
and there was full vote of over 500, 600
The decisive results of former years
have been because of a small vote, those
of one party or the other not turning
out But the voters were ont yesterday
all over the state and Mckinley has a
majority over all, with democratic, pro-
hibition and populist tickets opposed to
him.
Dies MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 5. THE cleo
ton in Iowa will 90 down as repub-
lican landslide. The gains have been
steady all night and average about six
to the precinct. Returns from more
than one-fourth of the state are now in
and the ratio of increase can hardly be
materially changed Returns az to
prohibition and populist votes are scat
tering, not enough to base good esti-
mates ON. The prohibitionists will
probably not poll over $4,000 votes.
doubling their vote of last year, and
the populists $4,000, showing only u
gain of 5000. Chairman Blythe, of the
republican state central committee,
claims the election of the whole repub-
lican ticket by upwards of 80, 600.
Chairman Fullen, of the democratic
committee, comedies the election to the
republicans, by probably 10000. In the
legislative districts the republicans
have made many gains and are now
certain of working majorities in both
houses, assuring a republican successor
to United States senator Wilson.
NEWARK, n. J.. Nov. s.-The cleo
tions in New Jersey were to fill the
places of one republican and seven
democratic senator's. and a complete
lower house. They resulted in the
choice of seven republicans and one
democrat, a republican gain of six.
This will make the senate stand IL re-
publicans and 10 democrats, the repub-
lican majority being one. against II
democrats last year. The new house of
assembly will. apparently, contain 81
republicans and % democrats.
BosTON, Mass. Nov. S.-The result of
the election in Massachusetts yesterday
can only be described as a huge politi-
cal landslide. For the first time in
three years the state will have a repub-
lican governor and his plurality is 3d.
900. The whole ticket is elected with
him and the Legislature solidly republi-
can in both branches. Candid demo-
Gratis had conceded the defeat of John
+. Russell, their candidate for gov
ernor. by a small majority, while even
the most sanguine republicans would
not claim over $4,000 for Greenhalge.

can state and judicial ticket is elected.

vote of last fall
RICHMOND, Va. Nov. s.-The returns
snow tildt the democrats nave carried
the state by an increased majority.
The indications are that Congressman
O'Farrall, the democratic candidate for
governor. has been elected by plural
ity of at least $4,000. The democrats
claim fully four-fifths of the general
assembly, and these figures are not
likely To be greatly reduced. The cam
paign in this state was exceedingly
lively for the populists have made great
inroads on the republicans.
Louisville, Ky, Nov. s.-The demo-
Gratis had things their own way in Ken
lucky, and according to reports re-
ceived by the United Press mp to .
