THE DEMOCRATS SWAMPED UNDER

New YORK, Nov. 8.-The election
Yesterday in this State resulted in a
clean Republican sweep, that party
electing all their State candidates and
capturing the Legislatures. The Leg
islature will stand: Republican sena-
tors IS, Democratic senators l4;RepnD-
lican assemblymen n; Democratic as
semblymen 81; Republican majority IN
the senate 4, in the house 20; on joint
ballot "a. Palmer. Republican, for sec
retary of state, has plurality of about
5000 over Meyer, Democrat, while
Bartlett, Republican, for the court of
appeals, has a plurality of about $4,000
over Maynard, Democrat.
The campaign was one of the most
peculiar in the history of the state, and
it is safe 20 say that the Democratic
managers are not more surprised at
the result than the Republicans. The
dominant issue in all portions Of the
State had been ring rule. and the Re
publicans in New York city, Brooklyn,
Albany and Buffalo have been ably as
sisted by the organized efforts of lnde-
pendent Democrats. Isaac II. Maynard
the candidate on the Democratic ticket
for Judge Of the court OF Appeals,
against whom the Independent Demo,
Gratis have waged war most bitter ana
unrelenting, has been surprisingly and
Overwhelmingly defeated. Almost
without exception the returns from
every part of the State shows that ne
was heavily scratched, even ten or
"Boss" McKane'S retainers at Coney
Island scratched him. The result at
this time seems to be that he has been
defeated by a plurality close IN the
neighborhood of 100000. Practically
complete returns from many OF the
counties of the State and scattering re-
turns from the others indicate that the
Republicans have elected their entire
State ticket and they will have good
working majority in the next Leglsla-
ture.
In Brooklyn tho 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, Chas. A. Scher1en, was en-
dorsed, with the result that the Demo
cratic majority of $4,000 at the last
election has been completely oVerturn-
ed and a Republican mayor elected by
about 1900. The local contest in New
York city was very interesting, tne
Republicans making but small EFFORTS
in behalf of their ticket. The complete
returns for the city show the election
Of the entire Tammany ticket by ma
jorities ranging between 81 OOO and 6S,-
600.
THE BLUE GRASS STATE.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. Full returns
of the elections throughout Kentucky
will not be available for several days,
but 80 far as tie reports haVe been re-
ceived it is pretty certain that the rela-
tive standing Of the political parties
has not changed. The only election OF
interest was for members OF the Gen
eral Assembly, which will vote, for
United State Senator. Senator VIM.
Lindsay was elected last winter over
Brown and Congressman McCreary and
Stone. Lindsay then had 60 per cent.
of the Democratic caucus votes. In
the primaries fully 80 per cent. of the
Democratic nominees tor both the
House and Senate were pledged to
Lindsay, and are all friendly to Sena-
tor Blackburn, who will stand for re-
election two years later. The Legisla-
ture will be Democratic on joint bal
lot by about four to 1. The issue in
this election were factional, the domi.
nant faction of the Democracy being
the Cleveland party opposed to the
wing which supported Mr.. Henry
Watterson in his opposition to CleVe
lands nomination. In this city Tyler,
Democrat, was elected mayor by about
$4,000 majority. The Democrats elect
their entire ticket. The election was
one of the quletest in the history OF
the city.
THE WATERLOO IN OHIO.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, Nov. with a
plurality of $1,000 and two-thirds of
both branches Of the Legislature Nc
KinleY has won most decisive victo-
ry. Although Nc Kinley was running
for reelection as Governor, he made
State affairs secondary to protection
and honest money in all bis speeches,
numbering one hundred and ten. 1t
would not have been a surprise two
weeks ago, but after the action Of Con
gress there seemed to have been such
reaction that :he overwhelming vote is
q surprise.
The Democrats did not allow the
contest to 60 by default, but made
most vigorous fight with harmonious
working forces. Ex-Governor Camp.
bell canvassed the State for Lawrence
T. Neal all last week, and the Demo-
cratic committee was hopeful after
Congress reached decisive action. The
Republican managers would have ex
pected such results two weeks ago, but
they were astoDished tonight. Cover
nor Mckinley was not surprised at the
result. He has expected it ali along,
and telt confident that the Impressions
of the change Of conditions would not
be overcome by the campaign efforts
for reaction.
The weather was pleasant all over
the State and there was full vote of
over 100000. The decisive result of
former years have been because of a
small vote, those of one party or the
other not turning out. But the voters
were out today all over the State, and
Mckinley has majority over all the
Democratic, Populist and Prohibition
tickets opposed to him. This is the
first majority over all any State candi-
date has had since Fosters election just
after Garfeld's death in 1881. Blaine
