low last year. There are sore and
disappointed applicants for office.
These are the causes of defeat. Fear
of tariff revision had nothing to do
with it whatever. (Signed) James
E. Campbell"
JERRY SIMPSONS REASON.
TOPEKA. Nov. S.-Speaking of the
Republican landslide in the East yes
terday, Congressman Jerry Simpson
said this morning: There are lot of
lunatics in the country who know
nothing themselves and were made to
believe by the Republican press that
the threatened revision of the tariff
portended evil to the working classes.
Besides this, they blamed
the Democratic party for the ex-
listing business depression, which
as a matter of fact was
the result of iniquitus Republican leg
islation. The common people are like
man on raft of sew logs. AS one
log sinks he jumps to another and
another, hoping to keep himself afloat.
They finally get on the Peoples party
log, which is big enough to support
them"
ONERMENEHS REASON.
David Overmeyer, who may be the
Democratic nominee for governor of
Kansas in 1894, said: The result in
the east comes from the fact that after
the Democratic administration was
elected explicitly on the tariff issue an
other issue was thrust in which the
people as a mass took no interest in.
If they took any their sympathy was
against the course of the administra-
ton"
ALL OVER KANSAS.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 9.-Returns re-
ceived today from various points in
the state add to the overwhelming
victory of Republicans over the Pop
ulists. The Democratic and Prohibi-
ton vote was very light and cut but
small figure. 1t is probable the Re-
publicans have elected county officers
in at least 80 counties of 105 in the
state.
RESULT IN IOWA.
DIES MONIES, Nov S.-Chairman
Fulton, Dem.), comedies the election
of Jackson, (Rep.). candidate for gov
ernor. He says: The result is due to
the calamity cry of the Republican
party. claiming that hard times were
attributable to the Democratic adj
ministration, and laboring men, mer-
chants, farmers and professional men
voted for change. The legislature
will be Republican. Out of "a senator's
to be elected the Republicans elected
1S. Out of 100 members of the house
the Republicans will have about 65.
The Populist vote in the state will
hardly exceed $4,000 and the prohibit
ton vote not more than $4,000.
MIXED IN UTAH.
SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. Selection
returns from all over the territory in
dictate a mixed result, with large Re
publican gains on an average. This
city elects two liberals and one Demo.
crat to the legislative council. The
Democrats will probably have five of
that body, the Republicans five. The
liberals elected six members of the
the lower house from this city. Indi-
cations are that the other 18 will be
pretty evenly divided between the Re.
publicans and Democrats. Coalition
Republicans and Democrats elect the
municipal ticket except the treasurer.
IN MICHIGAN.
DETROIT, Nov 8.-Complete returns
show the entire Republican municipal
ticket successful. Pingree, Republican,
for mayor is elected for the third time
by plurality of 400 and the balance
of the ticket carried by pluralities
ranging from 1000 to $500. The Dem
Gratis made a net gain of three in the
board of alderman but the Republi-
cans have a majority. Levi I. Griffin,
Democrat, was elected to fill the va.
cancy caused by the death of Con-
gresham Chapman from the first dis
trict.
NEBRASKA IN DOUBT.
OMAHA, Nov. 8.-The result in Ne
braska is still in doubt. Returns are
still very meagre. Chairman Slaughter,
of the Republican state central COM
mittee, still claims Harrison's election
for supreme judge by small plurality.
The Lincoln Journal (Rep.) says the
state lie in doubt.
SMALL VOTE IN NEBRASKA.
OMAHA, Nov. 9.-Indications to-.
night are that Harrison (Rep.), for SUI
preme judge, will carry the state by
5000 to 5000 plurality over Holcomb
Pop). Only about half the state is
heard from. Returns show heavy
falling off in the vote, probably 10 per
cent Republican, 10 per Democratic,
and per cent Populist.
wATERED THE WHISKY.
LOUISVILLE, Nov Slater returns
received fram Kentucky counties by
The Evening Post today indicate a
falling off in the Democratic vote
throughout the state.
GREENHALGE'S PLURALITY.
BOSTON, Nov. 8.-Returns received
up to noon indicate that Greenhalge's
plurality will be over 80 900.
SMALL PoPULIsT GAIN.
Boston, Nov. S.-The result of the
election in Massachusetts yesterday
can only be described as huge politi'-
cal landslide. For the first time in
three years the state will have a Re
publican governor and his plurality is
10000 at least. The whole ticket is
elected with him, and the legislature
is solidly Republican in both branches.
The most sanguine Republicans had
not claimed over $4,000 to Greenhalge.
