New York, Nov, THE elections
yesterday show overwhelming republi-
can gains throughout the country
In New York Morton Is elected COVER
nor by about 100000 plurality. The re-
publicans will control both branches
of the legislature. They have gained
largely in their congressional delega-
ton, not more than five or six demo-
Gratis at most having been elected.
In the city of New York Senator Hill
has the astonishingly small plurality
of 2549, while In Kings county Mr..
Morton has reversed the plurality of
$4,000 given to Mr. Flower and has put
that plurality to his own credit, max
Ing a republican gain Of $4,000 The
entire republican ticket is elected In
Kings.
Pennsylvania has gone republican
by an overwhelming majority.
The house of representatives will
contain a republican majority. Some
of the old members defeated are Mr..

Of Illinois.
In Col. Breckinridge's congress dis
who beat Breckenridge after a sensa-
tional campaign, is said to have been
beaten by from 1000 to 1000. Breckin-
ridge treachery is said to have
caused it.
In Cleveland, where Tom Johnson,
the great free trader conducted cam
paign from ward to ward and drew
thousands to his meetings, he is de-
feated. according to his own estimate,
by from 1000 to 5000
Connecticut is republican by from
5000 to 10000, and the congress dele
cation is solidly republican.
The Tilmanites swept everything be-
fore them in South Carolina. Tillman
will go to the United States Senate,
and the congress delegation will be
solidly democratic.
Iowa republicans elected the entire
state ticket by $4,000 plurality, with
the exception of two judges of the su-
preme court. The democrats saved
one of the eleven congressman.
Blood-to-the- e-bridles Waite, the pop
ulist governor of Colorado, who was a
candidate for reelection. was buried
under a republican plurality of 10000.
Louisiana has probably sent solid
democratic delegation to congress, the
planters bolt having failed in the eff
fort to carry the state.
New York 10000 for Morton.
New York, Nov. THE Empire state
was swept by the greatest tidal wave
in it's political history. Hon. Levi P.
Morton has been elected governor by a
plurality very close to 100000. The con-
gressional delegation has been changed
from 10 democrats and 15 republicans
to 20 republicans and democrats.
The state assembly will stand 1o4 re-
publicans to "a democrats. The repub-
lican gains have been greater in the
democratic strongholds in the cities
than in the country districts, but in no
county and in no town has the democ-
racy held its own. New York city
which was counted on for from $4,000
to 10000 for HILL gave him only $500
plurality over Morton. William L.
Strong, republican and citizens candi-
date for mayor, is elected by 42.600 over
Hugh ]. Grant Tammany's candidate
John w. Goff of LeXow committe
fame is elected recorder, and the en-
tire reform city ticket wins by hand
some majorities Brooklyn, which gave
Grover Cleveland 10000 in 1892, was
carried by Morton by 1880. Five New
yprl- rit dapnnnratin cr,,a m
were defeated by republicans, and the
result was known early in the evening.
The result on constitutional amend
ments will not be known positively for
O. day, but the returns received indicate
that all the amendments have been
carried, including the new apportion-
ment, which Senator Hill declared will
retire the democratic party for twenty
years.
Pennsylvania Is All One Way.
Philadelphia, Nov. 7.-Pennsylvania
was borne on the topmost crest of the
republican tidal wave and leads the
van Of the republican majorities with
a plurality of 100000 for Hastings for
governor. Out of sixty counties heard
from all but one show large republi-
can gains, and, as there are still seven
counties to be heard from, Hastings
majority will probably be increased.
In the congressional delegation from
Pennsylvania, the democrats in the
last house had ten mernbers. They
have lost eight congressman, held one,
and one is in doubt, with the proba-
bility of the democrats winning In
both the senate and house of the state
Legislature the republicans have made
unprecedented gains and the demo-
cratic minority will be little more than
a shadow. In this city the republic
cans elected every one of their county
officers with big gains over any pre-
yious vote.
New Jersey Joins the Procession.
Trenton, N. j., Nov. THE republi-
cans have elected six state senators
and forty-seven assemblymen. The re-
publicans have certainly elected five
out of the eight congressman, gain of

houses of the Legislature will be over
whelmingly republican. Mcpherson
will be succeeded I'm tho Tinted States
