DIVIDED THE SPOILS
Republicans Garry New York
State and the Democrats
the City.
Former CinCh the Victory by
Capturing the Legis-
lature.

NEW YORK, Nov. New York state
has been carried by the Republicans by
pluralities ranging from $4,000 to 55,-
600, compared with plurality of "a, 484
for the head of the ticket two years
ago. Returns from more than one-haf
of the election districts outside Of the
cities of New York and Brooklyn, or
"above the Harlem" show net Re-
publican gain of IL, $50 compared with
the vote two years ago. Maintaining
the same average the gains will reach
$4,000 outside of Greater New York. III
the two cities below the Harlem, the
Democratic plurality Of 90, ,343 two years
ago has been reduced about 1900, CIV
ing the state to the head of the Repub-
lican ticket by $4,000 plurality i'll round
numbers. The two branches OF the Leg
islature remain as before under the di-
rection of the Republicans. The elec-
ton throughout the state was orderly
and rapidly conducted.
Vote Shows a Falling on.
The figures from New York city in
the early evening showed that there
was little or no chance for the Demo-
cratic state ticket, for the meager ma
jorities given in the various districts
indicated so small plurality that it
would not affect the nominal plurality
which the Republicans bring down to
Harlem bridge.
The total vote of the state shows o
falling off compared with the vote of
1898, the decrease being confined, how.
ever, to the districts north OF the Har-
lem river. The city vote is fully equal
to that of two years ago.
David B. Hill will not go back to the
senate at Washington unless the Dem
ocrats should elect big enough major

come the Republican majority in the

'The returns at this hour are too far

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Great interest
was manifested here III the Legislative
elections throughout the country, as
they will materially affect the control
of the United States senate. Up to
now the standing in the senate was as
follows: Republicans, ~; Democrats,
80; Populists g. vacant (Dem.), L;

tions the Democrats will lose and the
Republicans will gain senator from
Maryland and Ohio. The other legis-
lative elections do not appear to affect
the standing in the senate, as Ken

COLUMBUS, Nov. 7.-Ex- Congressman
Anderson, chairman of the Democratic
state committee, gives out the follow
ing: We concede the state to the Re-
publicans by 10000 plurality, and both
branches of the Legislature by a large
majority. The Populist vote of over
10000 for Coxey for governor hurt US.
The hard times were too fresh i'll the

this led to our defeat. There is nothing

OMAHA, Nov. 7.-Returns from vari-
GUS portions of Nebraska show that
Norval, Republican candidate for su-
preme court, is elected by large ma
jority, and Republican gains on all
sides. One of the surprises developed
by late returns is the great strength Of
Maxwell, Populist candidate FOR su-
preme Judge. His vote is next to Nor
val, and is almost double that Of both
the Democratic candidates for the same
position. This might be construed as
Populist gains, but taken in the light of
the knowledge that Maxwell never re-
nounced his Republicanism in accepting
the nomination, complicates the situa.
ton.

Virginia.

Virginia.
RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 1.-THE cleo
ton closed one Of the most apathetic
campaigns known in Virginia for many
years. For several days past the Demo-
cratic managers have feared that some
of the senatorial as well as a number Of
the house districts were in danger Of
being lost by this lack Of activity Of the
canvass. The returns justify the fears
The election was for half Of the senate
(20) and the whole membership of the
house of delegates (100.) The detailed
returns, so far as received, show that
the new senate will contain 81 Demo
Gratis and 6 anti-Democrats, and the
house about 80 Democrats and 20 anti
Democrats.

GREENHALGE REFLECTED.
Republicans Mae, Clean Sweep In
Massachusetts.


Boston, Nov. THE question in
Massachusetts from the first was one Of
majority, since the Democratic leaders
admitted the reelection Of Governor
Greenhalge. How strong his endorse
ment would be was the point upon
which the two parties differed. Re-
suits show that the claims of the Re-
publicans made prior to the election
were we'll grounded, since Governor
Greenhalge and the entire Republican
ticket is endorsed by plurality prac-
tically the same as that of 1894.
The legislative department of the
government is also solidly Republican,
BS of the 40 senators elected being of
that political basiS. There is slight
gain for the Democratic party, the sem
ate last year having stood 36 Republi-
cans and Democrats.
In the house of representatives the
Republicans have practically the same
majority as last year, which was an
overwhelming one The governor s
council will contain but one Democrat
as an advisor in the executive chamber
In brief, the result is clean sweep for
the Republican party in the state, it
having suffered in no way from the
supposed detection caused by the A. P.
A. movement.
