An Overwhelming Republican Vic

ian OStTWnIniHs heDuDtlcan Victory.
BOsToN. Nov S.-The election in Mas
sachusetts resulted in an overwhelming
republican victory, such one as that
party has not experienced in this state
before for nearly decade, They have
elected their candidate for governor by
a plurality rising $4,000; their candi-
date for lieutenant governor by plu
rality probably 10000 greater and
there is no reason to doubt that the
plurality of the other nominees on their
state ticket will equal that of the gov
ernor. They have seven out of eight
councillors. an overwhelming majority
in the Legislature, and a large proper
tion of the county officials.
Late returns show that Mr.. Green
halge has been elected governor by
more than $4,000 plurality. Boston,
one precinct missing, gives Russell
3s, 1852; Greenhalge. 29,0o5; democratic
plurality. 9,274. In the 332 towns of
the state alone Greenhalge will have
plurality enough to wipe out the dem
ocratic plurality in Boston, with 49,,
900 votes to spare.

A Sweeping Republican Victory.

DEs MONIES, Ia, Nov. s.-The story
of the election yesterday can be told
in few words. 1t was a sweeping re-
publican victory, giving to that party
the governor state officers and the
general assembly with the power to
elect United States senator to sue
ceed j. e. Wilson.
The day was warm throughout the
state and the total vote small. The
republicans gained from four to six to
the precinct This, added to the -, 900
republican plurality of last year, will
make up the plurality of 80, 900 or more
for Jackson. The Bennett Mitchell
(pro.) dnds. Nj. Joseph (pop.) vote ac-
cording to present indications will
reach 10000 and $4,000 respectively.
Five hundred and twenty-five precincts
give jackson, 66, $50, and Boies, 5000
A net republican gain of 2,26l This
indicates plurality of $4,000 for jack

OHIO.
A Waterloo for the Democrats.

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. S.-Not since the
defeat of Vallaudingham for governor
has there been in Ohio such Waterloo
to the democracy as yesterday! John
Brown was then elected by 101, 900 and
yesterday Gov. Mckinley was re-
elected by not less than $4,000. If the
steady and constant gains now coming
in still continue McKinley's majority
will reach 10000. The republicans
have over threefourths majority in
both branches of the legislature, a
larger majority than for thirty years
The republican gains are not confined
to the cities and towns, but are equally
big in the rural districts. Out of
eightyeight counties only about
twenty went democratic. Cincinnati
gives Mckinley 10000.
1t was revolution. State issues,
the liquor and all local topics gave
way to the great republican cyclone
The depression in business, hard times,
people out of work, the tarff and silver
issue and the pension theme were the
causes. The whole state government
and three-fourths of the counties are
now completely put under republican

KANSAS.
A Republican Plurality in Kansas.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. S.-The vote in
Kansas yesterday was light. AT re
publican headquarters it is claimed
that they have elected county officers
in eighty Of the los counties in the
state and that complete returns will
show the republicans to have plurality
Populists claim the state by from Is,
900 to 20 600 over the republicans and
to have carried sixty of the 1O5 counties.
The democratic vote will not exceed
25,OO0 a much less number than the
democratic leaders anticipated 1t
seems probable that the republicans
have elected nine district judges, the
populists three and democrats one.

associate judge of the court of appeals
and has probably greatly influenced
the general vote throughout the state,
the candidacy of ISAIAH H. Maynard
having been greatly opposed. May
nard fell considerably behind his
ticket and polled 10, 1867 less than cast
Tor secretary of state. There is little
doubt that his candidacy was leading
factor in the sweeping defeat of the
state democracy. Another cause for
its downfall in all proba bility was the
recent action of John r. McCane, at
Gravesend, which unquestionably af-
fected the party's chances of success.
The democrats still virtually control
the local government, having elected
their city officers, sheriff, county clerk,
surrogate, city comptroller, justice of
the civil court and coroner The re-
publicans have only carried two out of
the thirty assembly districts in this
city; they are the twenty-third, in
which Lawson was elected and the
twenty-ninth, which was carried by
Fitzgerald.
In the city proper, eight out of the
nine senatorial districts have gone to
the democrats, and the present indica-
tions are that they have carried the day
in those parts of Putnam and West
Chester counties belonging to the an
nexed district known as the fifteenth
senatorial district.

Statement.
LINCOLN, Nov. S.-Interest center
entirely on the vote for supreme Judge,
and returns are yet too meager to make
a reliable statement. The fight lies
between Harrison (rep) and Holcomb
(pop.), with the chances favoring the
latter. This county shows small net
losses for the republicans, but other
counties with the larger towns will off
set this. The latest returns make the
outlook for Harrison more favorable.
Chairman Slaughter, of the repu BIZ
can committee, claims victory for the
whole ticket by 10000 plurality, but is
unquestionably too sanguine. Both
sides claim election of supreme court
justice without figures enough to base
their estimates Aside from supreme
justice the republicans have undoubt-
