the state. On the state ticket it was
pretty nearly a straight fight between Hill
Democracy and Republcanism. The de-
feat of Tammany was complete, Strong
for mayor having a plurality of 1851
over Hugh Grant, and John w. Cough,
for recorder, of 1907 over Frederick
Smyth who has held that position for long
term of years, and enjoyed the confidence
and respect of the people until his connec-
tion with the Tammany corruption was
revealed by the LeXow investigation. 1t

Wilson, the Democratic tariff reform apos-
tie of West Virginia, who is beaten by Day
ton, Republican, by 2000 majority. The
other three congressman from this state
will also be Republicans, and the legisla-
ture will be under Republican control,
electing a Republican successor to Senator
Camden. The Missouri legislature will be
Republicans and the Democrats will have
only seven out of - congressman, such
party war horses as Bland (the free silver
ite), lDockery and Hatch being among those
who have fallen. The overturn in Ken

ures of the general result, the Republicans
securing five out of IL congressman in that
Bourbon state. Owens, who won the Dem
ocratic nomination from the malodorous
Breckenridge in the Ashland district is
beaten by Denney, Republican. The
| Breckenridge men are undoubtedly respon-
sible for Denney's election, having knitted
Owens out of revenge. Henry Clay Evans,
Republican, is undoubtedly elected gov
ernor of Tennessee by majority of 1000
to 1000. The Republicans have gained one
congressman in Texas. In Maryland three
Republican congressman are added to the
Republican column, and in three other dis
tricts gross frauds have been discovered
and the seats of the Democrats will be con-
tested. The counties which have gone
Republican are those which control the
largest Federal offices, like collector of Gus
toms. Howard county, the home of Sena-
tor German, gave Republican majority
for the first time in % years. The Repub-
licans will have full control of the munic-
ipal government in Baltimore for the first
time since 1867, wards which have always
been considered Democratic strongholds
being carried. The Congress delegation
from North Carolina will apparently stand
two Republican. three Democrat, and fouI
Populists. Walker, Republican, wins in
the Virginia congressional election. In the
other southern states the Democrats won
but in many cases by greatly reduced ma
jorities. The Tilmanites swept everything
before them in South Carolina.
