Tho story of the elections Tuesday
is soon told. The Republicans nave
rcneated substantially their phenom-
email victories of last year and nave
added more to them. In all the long
list Of states voting there is not
Democratic victory anywhere except
in Mississippi and there the majority Is
heavily reduced. New York state
GOES Republican by $4,000, and the
Isoislat,,re is Republican in both
branches by heavy majorities, WIN
Hamilton Fish. Lexow, Haines ana
Coggeshall all back in their old seats.
The Republican majority is less than
the l6O. GOO last year, but considering
that the state has been Democratic
two. thirds of the time for the past
20 years, it is enough,
In New York city Tammany swept
the board electing Croker's nominees
for iudpe and county officers by from
d. 600 to 1880 majority Ten OF
Tammany's candidates for the state
senate appear to be elected. Inc
Steckler ticket polled less than $ 600
votes. while the Good Government
Glib candidate got less than one vote
TO an election district. Brooklyn, how
ever. went Democratic, giving 1870
nluralitv for Gen. King candidate 1or
SECRETARY of state and the head OF tne
ticket. and electing Democratlc
mayor by small plurality. Inc
Democrats claim the election OF five
senators and ten out of the q assem-
bly men from the city. In both New
York city and Brooklyn republican
senators and assemblymen were elect
ed where Democrats have been re-
turned year after year. In Albany,
Buffalo and other cities Republican
gains were made.
New Jersey gives Griggs, Republican,
IA, 600 plurality for governor, ana the
Republicans also gain the assembly ana
increase their majority in the senate;
The New Jersey Democracy deserved
success. 1t cast out Its rascals. LII
freed itself from the domination OF
corrupt ring. 1t nominated for gov
ernor the very best man 1t could nave
named. and by this means it cut down
the Republican majority of last year
from AS. 600 to 1000: but the reform
was too late to save for this year what
has always been the most reliably
Democratic of the northern states.
The gallant and able fight made 10y
Campbell in Ohio was unavailing;;
Bushnell, Republican, was elected
Governor by about 100, 600 majority,
even more than McKinley's in '&, and
over two thirds that of last year. II
is as much surprise to Republicans
as TO Democrats, for the former were
claiming only 10000 to $4,000 Just
before election. The legislature is Re
publican by over so on joint ballot,
thus insuring the election OF Foraker
senator to succeed Brice
The fight IN Maryland was very hot,
but Germans man for governor,
Hurst. has been beaten, by about
II. 600 majority. The Legislature will
be Republican on joint ballot, by Az ma
iority thereby insuring Republican
successor to United States Senator Glib
son. The Democrats get hardly a
third of the representatives. Gorman
lost his own county by 4W In
baltimore the returns indicate the
complete overthrow of the German
Raisin ring. Hooper, Republican, Tor
MAYOR, has an apparent majority OF more
than 1900. The Republicans have also
elected majority Of the city council
and clerks of the courts. The heavlest
vote ever cast in Baltimore was pollcd.
It was the most exciting day Balti-
more has known since the war. Vio-
lence and disorder were the features
throughout. The police commits
sioners and Police Marshal Frey, IN
one particular instance admitted
their helplessness and encouraged an
appeal which was made to Henry
Williams, the Democratic candidate
for MAYOR, to assist in quelling the
disturbance. NJ Williams readily
responded by saying that he would
not accept the office if he were elected
by fraud, and he at once set out to IN
fuence Mr.. Hurst, the gubernatoria
candidate, in the same direction.
Their combined efforts had a salutars
effect. Several arrests were made; al
occasional shot was fired, ballot boxes
were smashed and registration books
were torn to bits. The day closed
however, without political deatf
record. -,
Through prohibition and antl-rall
road defections it had been expected
that Iowa would barely be won by thu
Republicans. But the returns SHOW
a Democratic slump much worse thai
that of two years ago and as bad a
that of a year ago, when the Repub
