running in consequence.

rapidly, and great damage is threatened.
Every factory in Midland is closed down.

IN THE EMPIRE STATE.

Republicans Have Majority of Over
$4,000.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The latest re-
turns from all parts of the state show
that the Republican victory is fully as
great as the most enthusiastic Of the
party's leaders have claimed.
Bartlett's majority for judge Of the
court of appeals over Maynard is, in
round figures, $1,000. General Palmer's
majority for secretary of state is $4,000.
Myer, the Democratic candidate for Sec
rotary of state, carries II counties, five
more than Maynard.
The counties which he carried and
which go against Maynard are Queens,
Meyers home; Richmond, Rockland,
Schenectady and Westchester. Meyers
majority in New York county is more
than double that of Maynard, viz: Ga, 1915.
In Kings his vote is 5000 more than
Maynard's. The total majorities for
judge Of the court Of appeals and secre-
tary of state are as follows: Bartlett,
1876, 600; Maynard, 45,400; Palmer, 109,-
600; Meyer, $4,000. The Democratic
rout in Kings is complete. Besides the
loss Of mayor their control of the board
of aldermen is gone. This puts all the
power in the hands of their opponents.

COLUMBUS, Nov. 9.-Chairman Dick
of the Republican state committee has
received unofficial returns from the SO
counties in the state and gives results as
follows: Last year 40 counties gave Re
publican plural. ties of 46,51O; 43 cour-
ties gave Cleveland pluralities of 1888,
making Harrison's net plurality 1,072.
This year Mckinley had pluralities in 62

ralities of 1O1, 1903. Neal had pluralities
in 26 counties, giving him gross plurali-
ties of 21,123, making McKinley's net

slightly increased their vote Of last year,
when they had a total vote Of 10000.
The Prohibitionists have fallen off from
the vote of last year, when they had &c.
600, and it is estimated at headquarters
that they will have about 10000 votes

WAS NO ELECTION.

A Decision of the New Jersey Supreme
Court Knocks Out Tuesdays Election.
TRENTON, N. j., Nov. 1.-THE deci-
sion of the supreme court of this state
declaring the present legislative appor-
tionment unconstitutional, has caused
great CONSERVATION among the lawyers
and politicians at the capital, and will
cause restlessness among the assembly
men elect.
Governor Werts, Justice Albeit of the
supreme court, and Prosecutor of the
Pleas Bayard Stockton were in confer
ence on this important subject, but
would not disclose their conclusions.
Assistant Prosecutor w. Holt Apager,
was seen and said:
1T appears from the decision rendered
by the supreme court that the ouly
legally elected members of the house of
assembly were those from the seven
counties Of Atlantic, Cape May, Glouces-
ter, Ocean, Salem, Somerset and Sussex.
This being so, Under section 1873 Of the
election law, Revision of New Jersey,
page 361, it is mandatory upon the gov
ernor to call special elections in each of
the counties where there are no legally
elected members.
.'If the governor should be advised by
the attorney general that this was the
correct view of the case, then the cleo
ton of Tuesday in all the other counties.
saving the seven mentioned above for
members of the assembly, is void, and in
each of those counties ticket would be
formed including the names Of the entire
number of candidates for assembly in
the county and be voted for by every
voter in the county.
