WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. THE
election over the country yesterday
seems to nave been Republican tidal
wave. They have de fea'ed the Democ,
racv in nearly all thr States. aDd have
undoubtedly elected 8 majority Of the
members Of he txr Congress.
In New York Alll, the Democratic
candl04!e for Governor, ~as defeated
by MoriGn. Republican, w hose majority
is abcuS 100000 The Democrats also
lose q numcer Of Congressman IN New
York.
In New York City the BsnrhIs,aryg'Y6S:
have Sl9ssa-Gps'-t6e Sa Gp TIE earth with the
3eN ocrats, and Tammapy is badly il
the soup. The Republicans claim that
they have elected all the Congressmer
In Nav York City except ore, which il
q Democratic loss Of several Congress
men.
The Republicans have also carried
the States of Colorado, Connecticut
Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas
Minnesota, Michigan, Massachusetts,
New Jersey, Nebraska, Ohio, Pepnsyl
Yanis. Wisconsin and South Dakota by
ipajorities ranging from 5000 to 1OO,'
0C0. In each of the above States the
Democrats lose ConRressmep, which
ipsures the next House TO the Repuo'
licans by a good majority.
The Democrat have carried Alaoa-
ma, Arkansas, Florida. Georgia. Ken
tuekp, Louisiana, Maryland, Miss'ssip'
pi. North Caroline, Texas, Tennessee
Virginia and West Virginia. In sev
sral OF these States the Republicans
.Iaim gains in Congrtssmen. They
clam The defeat Of Wilson, in West
Virginia, the father OF the tarlt bill
passed oy Congress in the summer.
The Republicans also claim that
Owens. VITO was running In Brecken-
ridges old district in Kentucky, is
defeated. They also claim that they
have elected two Congressman in
Louisiana and two il Maryland. The
Democrats DC not concede these gains
90 the Republicans. as the districts
claimed are very close and it will re-
aulre al official count TO determine The
result in them.
It seems that the Republicans have
swept the country. with the exception
OF the Sclid South which remains solid
ana is the only bright spot IN Tuesday s
disaster. The Popuiists have fareo
equally as bad IS the Democrats aa
they have failed to hold their own in
any State. Kansas and some other
States that they carried IN 1892 have
returned to the Republican column.
Definite returns have not been re-
ceiyed from some of the far Western
States. but it is likely that they have
joined in the general LANDSLIDE to the
Republican party, and hSVe declared
against Democracy and P0pn'fSts. The
Democrats here, Including tPe Chsir'
psn OF the Congressional campaign
committee, conce6es that the next
House will be Republican by small
majority, Dot the Republicans claim g
msiority OF about thirty, which figure
is aoopt correct.
The Republicans are very jubilant
while the Democrats are very much
east down. 1t Is q great victory fol
Republicans, and they know 1t. They
have recaptured sll the States the Dem
ocrats captured from them In 1892, and
made great iproads in several States
that have heretofore been upcODpro.
misinRly DsmocTstic,
CHICAGO, ILL, Nov, IA survey OF
the returns OF yesterdays election this
morning confirms the hasSy estimates
and partial returns of last night. In
the West, Northwest and on the Facif.
tc coast the Republican landslide seems
TO be over whelmiDg, and in the South.
west the Republican gains reported
are OF such magnitude as to suggest
almost revolution. The only excep
tions to the rule appear to be in Cali
fornis and Nevada. In the former
State the Democratic candidate fol
Governor (Budd) is apparently In ad
vance Of Estse, lis Republican, compel
itor, although the rest OF the Republl
can State ticket seems TO be certain o.
election. In Nevada the silver party
which exists as patty in that State
only, has to all appearances beaten the
Republicans, Democrats and regular
Populists, electing Its State ticket snC
Congressman. There is also an ele
ment Of doubt in Nebraska, where the
election Of Majors (Rep) over Bolcomt
(Pcp- Dem is by no means assured.
With these exceptions, however, the
tide of Republican success appears Il
be overwhelming. Ohio has given tht
largest Republican majority in its his
tory. wipipg out not only Mckinley

high water mark set by John Brougf

Colorado has repudiated Populist doc
trines and swung back into the Repub
IIcan column, electins a full Republt
can ticket and both Congressmen
Kansas, too, has returned to the Re
publican faith and Jerry Simpson Ii

other Populist candidates. Wisconsin
has reversed her verdict of two year
ago and has elected Republican Stat
government and nine out OF ten Con
gressmep of the same political faith.
In Illinois the Democrats have me
q crushing defeat. Not only hss th
State shown preference for Repu Scal
candidates as expressed by sons 20,
