didates of that party sufficient to insure
control of the Legislature was elected
n with it all the candidates on the Re
publican state ticket. Wells, for gov
ernor, ran ahead of his associates, and
his plurality may reach 700.
The Republican state centrai commit
tee has received returns from 1853 pre-
cincts, covering portions of twenty-three
counties. and the most populous part OF
the territory, giving Allen Repl, for
Congress, 1868, and Roberts Oem:),
1917, being a majority OF 6ol, which,
it is claimed, will be increased to 1000.
Bonaparte VS.. Wellington.
Baltimore, Md, Nov. Returns at
hand confirm the estimate previously
made. Not only have the Republicans
elected their entire state and city ticket,
| which, according to figures at hand now,
will stand in the lower house sixty-eight
Republicans to twenty-four Democrats,
and in the Senate, fifteen Democrats to
eleven Republicans. Candidates for the
seat Of Senator Gibson are already
are Charles j. Bonaparte, the reform
leader of this city, and Congressman
Wellington, who is the hero of the hour,
because of his successful campaign.
Three of the Democrats in the Senate
are said to be bitter anti-Gorman men.
who will vote with the Republicans eX-
cept on party issues of a national char
acter.
The Sweep in New Jersey.
Jersey City. n. j., Nov. THE magni-
tude of the Republican sweep in New
jersey did not become apparent until the
official returns, as filed with the different
county clerks, showed that the widest
claims of the Republicans and the best
previous returns that could be obtained
fell short of the actual result. The re-
suits as filed show that Griggs, for gov
ernor, received 26,96O plurality over Me
Gill. This is the first time in thirty
years that the Republicans have elected
q governor.
Quay is Jubilant.
Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. Returns
from all the sixty-Seven counties of Penn
Sylvania show that the Republican sweep
was overwhelming. The majority for
State Treasurer Haywood will exceed
$4,000, and the six superior court candi-
dates are elected by majorities almost
as large. Philadelphia went Republican
by 1869. The friends of State Chair
man NJ. S. Quay feel jubilant and de-
clare that this triumph in Pennsylvania
after his hard fractional battle fairly in
trenches him once more in the absolute
leadership of the state.
Nebraska Returns Are Slow.
Omaha, Neb., Nov. Returns from
the several counties in the state upon
the vote cast for judge of the Supreme
court are being received with unusual
slowness. The partial returns indicate
the election of Judge Norval (Rep.) by
q safe plurality. Upon the other hand,
Gov. Holcomb and J.. w. Edgerton.
chairman of the Populist state central
committee, assert that Judge Maxwell
has been elected. Neither will make
public the figures upon which they base
their assertions. Notwithstanding these
claims, the best indications are that Nor
val is elected by over 10000.
No Democrat Could Garry Kentucky.
Louisville, KY, Nov. 7.-Republican
claims and Democratic concessions show
tonight that not only has Kentucky elect
ed the full Republican state ticket, but
that the complexion of the Legislature
assures a Republican successor to Unit
ed States Senator Blackburn DEM.
State Auditor Norman, the Democratic
campaign chairman, says that Black
burns defeat is assured.
The Republicans, with the help of the
Populists, will assuredly control the
Legislature" he said, "and Blackburn
is sure to be defeated, Kentucky is now
a change. and they took it, the Republic
ans being aided by both Populists and A.
L. AS. No Democrat could have carried
Kentucky at this election, not even Car
isle"
Bradley's Plurality at Least II, 600.
The returns sent in up to this morn
ing give Bradley q plurality of over
17,OOQ, n the few counties not yet
heard from, some seven or eight, includ-
ing those from which only incomplete
returns have been received, are expect
ed to swell the figures above 1900.
The result in the Legislature is still
doubtful, with the chances in favor of
the Republicans on joint ballot. The
prospects of Blackburn's return to the
Senate do not look very good at present.
hio fractional Wounds Healed.
Columbus, O., Nov. chairman
Kurtz of the state Republican executive
committee said tonight that of the 112
members of the next House of Repre-
sentatives the Republicans would have
81 members and the Democrats 25.
This estimate admits the election of Da-
Wis (Dem) in this county, whose plurali-
ty by the unofficial returns is only 3.
The Senate will stand 80 Republicans
and Z Democrats. This is allowing that
the two districts, the Second and the
Thirty-second. have elected Democratic
senator's, and gives the Republicans a
majority on joint ballot of So. Hoeffer
1Rep), candidate for representative i'll
Darke county, is defeated by 70 votes.
One result of the Republican victory
in Ohio seems likely to be the wiping
out, for a time ut least, of the factionai
lines that have long separated the friends
OF eX-GoV. Foraker and those of Senator
Sherman, the latter element of the party
being now under the command of Gov.
Mckinley.
Neither the Republican nor Demo
cratic state committee has attempted to
give anything like exact figures on the
election returns. Chairman Anderson
conceded the state to the Republicans
by 10000. Chairman Kurtz says Bush
nelPs plurality will not be less than 1OO.-
600. The vote for Coxey, Populist, will
be about $4,000 less than last years
Populist vote of 10000.
Chairman Kurtz says Bushnelrs plu-
rallty will exceed 10000.
Returns from Kansas.
Topeka, Kas., Nov. Additional re-
turns from the local election over Kan
sas show that the Republican party has
generally held the vote polled last year
and in some counties it has made gains.
The total vote of the state will not ex-
coed 100000, and David Marks is elect
ed chief justice over c.. *. Holiday. in
dependent candidate, by 100000 major
ity.
