Republicans Won.
THEY WERE SUCCESSFUL NEAR
LY EVERYWHERE EVEN IN
DEMOCRATIC STATES.
Where Elections Were Held-States
In Which Some Officers We're Chosen
Democratic Loss and Gain.


FROM the st. Louis Republic.
Incomplete returns from the States
in which, elections were held yester-
day show some surprising results:
In Maryland, the fight on Senator
German has given the State to the
Republicans, and Lowndes (Rep.) is
elected Governor, to succeed Frank
Brown (Dem.) by a substantial ma
jority, which may exceed 10000. The
Republicans have apparently carried
the Maryland Legislature and the re-
tirement of Senator Gibson Dem is,
therefore, assured.
Campbell CDem.) in Ohio has been
beaten and it looks as if Senator Brice
would fail of reelection. The ma
jority against Campbell! is about $4,000.
In New York the Republicans have
elected their State ticket bya MAORI
ty of $1,000, or more. The Legislature
will also be Republican. The State
Senators elected yesterday will par
ticipate in the election of a successor
to David B. Hill.
In New York City Tammany wins
by an average majority of $4,000 and
Amos Cummings, the Democratic can
didate for Congress in the Tenth Dis
trict, is returned by a majority of
about 1000. The election in Brooklyn
ia close and both sides claim the vic
tory. Edward M. Shepard, the jim
dependent Democratic candidate for
Mayor, polled more than $4,000 votes,
which is sufficient probably to over
whelm the regular Democratic ticket
and elect Wurster (Rep.) Mayor. New
York City gave the Democratic State
ticket about 10000 majority and Kings
County added about 5000 votes. The
total Democratic majority below the
Harlem River is perhaps $4,000. The
Republican majority above the Har-
lem may run as high as 1O0, 900. The
Republicans claim it will exceed 1885,
600.
In New Jersey Griggs (Rep.) is
elected Governor by from 5000 to 49,
600 votes. McGill, the Democratic
candidate, was knitted by the A. P. A.
because, although a Presbyterian, he
voted in the Assembly some years ago
for a bill favorable to the Catholic
Protectory in Trenton.
Massachusetts, returns the usual Re
publican majority and Greenhalge is
r reelected Governor. The Republi-
can majority in the Legislature, how
ever, has been reduced.
The returns from Virginia indicate
that the Democratic candidates for
the Legislature have nearly all been
elected. The Senators chosen this
year will vote for a United States
Senator to succeed Senator Daniel.
Pennsylvania elects a Republican
State Treasurer and the seven Judges
| of the new Superior Court of that
State will probably be Republicans.
The day passed off quietly as a rule,
but in Maryland, Virginia and Massa-
chusetts incipient riots occurred;
which, however, were quelied without
b~loodshed.
The woman suffrage idea has been
rejected by the voters of Massachu-
sets, the women themselves refusing
to vote on the proposition.
In Kentucky the issue appears to be
in doubt, but the election of Bradley
is claimed by the Republicans. The
Democrats are confident Hardin is
elected.
Iowa has gone Republican by a
large majority and Republican Judges
were elected in Kansas and Nebraska.
Ed. Lane, Democrat, was defeated
for Congress in the Eighteenth ILL
nois District by over 5000 plurality.
