though Mckinley was running for re-
election as governor, he made state
affairs secondary to protection and
honest money in all his speeches, num-
bering 10. 1t would not have been
surprise two weeks ago, put after the
action of congress, there seemed to
have been such reaction that the
overwhelming vote is surprise. The
democrats did not allow the contest to
20 by default. but made most vigor-
GUS fight with its working forces. En-
Gov. Campbell canvassed the state
for Lawrence T. Neal all last week,
and the democratic party was hopeful
after congress reached decisive action.
About o o'clock Chairman Dick, at re-
publican headquarters, said If the
average gain of 20 per cent kept up
Mckinley would have $4,000 plurality,
but that the rural districts would not
keep up this average. He feels conf

than double that of 1891. and gain OF

Land slide In New York.
NEW YORK, Nov. S.-One of the most
peculiar campaigns in the history OF
the state was closed at shutdown last
evening. And it is safe to say the dem
ocratic managers are not more sur
prised at the result than are the repub-
leans The dominant issue in all por-
tons of the state has been ring rule,
and the republicans in New York City,
Brooklyn, Albany and Buffalo have
been greatly assisted by the organ
lied effortsof independent democrats.
Isaac II. Maynard, the candidate on
the democratic ticket for judge OF the
court of appeals, against whom indie
pendent democrats have waged war
most bitter and unrelenting, has been
surprisingly and overwhelmingly de-
feated. In New York city he ran 81, 600
behind his ticket, in Brooklyn over 49,
900 and in Erie county several thou
sand.

the next legislature.
Chicago.
CHICAGO, Nov. s.-The election seems
to be about q standof. At midnight
the returns indicated the republicans
had elected the entire judicial ticket
and the democrats had secured the
county commissioners inside the city.
The judicial ticket has heretofore been
on n non-partisan basis but this year
the democrats broke away and nomi-
mated ticket of their own and the re-
publicans seem to have elected every
judicial candidate.
The great fight has been over the
election of Judge Gary, who presided
at the trial of the anarchists. At the
time Gov Altgeld pardoned the an
archists he made severe attack on
Gary, and the fight has been Gary
against the state machine with the re-
suit that Gary seems not only to have
polled the full republican strength but
to have drawn on the democratic vote
as we'll In almost every precinct he
was from to 10 per cent ahead of the
balance of the ticket. The general re-
suit shows decisive republican gains
over the preside initial election of year
ago.
