NEBRASKA RETURNS.
SeuT-Ftfths of the Democrats Voted
wan the Cleveland, or Gold
Wing.

OAlAt1A, Nov. 6.-Returns from the
several counties in the state On the
vote cast for Judge Of the supreme
court are being received with unusual
siowness. The partial returns indicate
the election of Judge Norval CRep) by
a safe plurality. On the. other hand,
Governor Holconb and J. W. Edger-
ton, chairman of the Populist central
committee, assert that Judge Maxwell
has been elected. Neither will make
public the figures upon which they
base their assertions. The vote of the
administration or sound money wing
OF the Democratic party is four-fifths
of the entire party vote of
the state probably $4,000. This
is very surprising feature
OF the election. The silver element
of the Democratic party is urging,
with some justice and much effect,
that the entire machinery of the fede
raj government in the state was used
TO secure votes for Mahoney the sound
money candidate. M3hoIey's personal
popularity contributed largely to his
success. The great tight in the party
was for the avowed purpose of estab
fishing the relative strength of the two
factions with a view of sending a del
egation ID the next national conVen-
tioI. This assures the defeat of the
silver interests unless there is a great
change of sentiment in the party ranks
during the next six months along finan-
cial lines

IOWA ABOUT $4,000.
Claimed the Legislature is Over
whe1mingly Republican,.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 6.-Iowa is
Republican this year by from $4,000 to
10000 plurality. Returns from seventy
three out of ninety-<ene counties show
that General Drake, Republican candi-
date for governor, has gained $4,000
over the Jackson vote for governor in
1893. The same ratio means that he will
carry the state by little more than
$4,000 plurality. His colleagues on the
Republican ticket are running much
ahead of him, however.
The candidate for lieutenant govern
or will be elected by about 10000 plu-
rality Perkins, candidate for railroad
commissioner, Sabin for school super
intendent, and Given, candidate for
supreme judge, will run from 10000 to
$4,000 ahead of the ticket
The general assembly is overwhelm-
ingly Republican, assuring the return
of Senator Allison. On joint ballot the
Republicans have Sc majority out of
$50 votes Henry county, the home of
Judge Babb, Democratic nominee for
governor, went Republican by a large
majority.
The silver Democrats attribute their
defeat to the silver issue, the Demo-
Gratis having endorsed gold and Cleve-
land.

NEW JERSEY $1,000.

JERSEY CITY, n. J., Nov. 6-The
magnitude of the Republican sweep in
New Jersey did not become apparent
until today when the official returns as

MASSACHUSETTS, $4,000.
Republican Leaders, Particularly
Pleased at the Result.

BOSTON, Nov. 6.-The smoke of the
political battle has cleared away and
tonight the leaders of both parties are
discussing the result, and from it are
already forming plans for next years
work.
The Republican leaders are particu-
larly pleased over the gains of Gov
ernor Greenhalge in this city, for they
claim it shows that slowly but surely
the people are coming over to their
ranks. The Democrats on the other
hand say that they attach no signifi-
canoe whatever to the decreased DEM
ocratic plurality in the city other than
that their candidate was not person.
ally as popular as Russell, the can
didate of 1894, and for proof of their as
sertion point to the fact that the De-
mocracy gained a senator in Suffolk
county, which is practically Boston.
The figures of the Associated Press
last night placed the plurality conserv-
atively at little over $4,000, and all
of the returns have justified that es-
innate. The size of the Populist vote
in Massachusetts will probably be
known tomorrow. There are indica-
tons that there is a falling Off E.
Gerry Brown, the candidate for gov
ernor, got about 500 votes in Boston,
while last year the candidate got over
100 in Lynn. The question of wo-
man suffrage has been lost sight Of
except by those directly interested, but
the suffragists claim that they are en-
couraged as the vote against them was
smaller than that anticipated.

Increased Plurality.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Later the re-
turns from al sections of the state do
not lessen the extent of the Republic
can victory in New York. The total
vote. unofficially compiled gives Pal
ner. the candidate for secretary of
state. at the head of the Republican
ticket. a total of $40, 525, while his
Democratic opponent, King, polled 505.-
500 making the Republican plurality
sc. 935. While this is Of course q falling
off from the phenomenal plurality of
156.10S given to Governor Morton last
year, il shows a large gain over Pal
1ner's plurality of "a 4S4 in 1893, the last
minor office year. Both branches of the
state legislature will be Republican by
a majority of more than two to one.
Although Tammany elected most of the
assemblymen in the city the seats
gained Wy the Republicans and forty
eight Democrats, which, with the pres
ent complexion of the senate gives a
Republican majority of forty-four on
Joint ballot.
The Tammany victory in the city is
not greatly changed by the complete
returns, from the estimates of last
might The head Of the Tommany ticket,
Purry. candidate for county clerk, has
a majority Of 16,429.
The fusionists figure that Tammany's
majority was given by the stay at
homes and not by gains in votes, be-
cause while last year Hugh J. Grant,
the Tammany candidate for mayor.
polled 1O9. 600 votes and was defeated by
a. 600. Yesterday William Sohmer. the
strongest man on the Tammany county
ticket. polled in round numbers 1921 900
or only 10000 more than Grant, and was
elected by more than 10000 Had
Grant polled the number Of votes given
to Sohmer he would still have been de-
feated by more than 10000.

SUSTAINS THE GRAB.
Secretary Smith Defines What Min
eraI Lands Are Under the Law.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Elm denying
protest made by citizen of Cali
fornia against the patenting of lands
in Southern California to the Southern
Pacific railroad because the same were
mineral, the secretary of the interior
says that every effort has been made
to ascertain the character of the lands
previous to the time when patents were
about to issue. The secretary adds that
the country in which the lands are 10
Gated is well explored, and it is pre-
sumed that if mineral exists it would
have been found previous to the pres
ent time. AS to the mineral lands in
Idaho and Montana, to which the
protest alludes, he says that it is to be
presumed that if congress had thought
it necessary to have the same precau-
lions taken in California, that state
would have been included in the law
providing for mineral commissioners.
He says that possibly in patenting
lands to the Southern Pacific some
tracts may be included which are min
eral, but they will be so rare as to be
of little Importance.
