has been carried by the Republicans
by pluralities ranging from $4,000 to
$1,000, compared with plurality Of
4.4S4 for the head of the ticket two
years ago. Returns from more than
one-half Of the election districts out
side Of the cities of New York and
Brooklyn. or "above the Harlem"
show a net Republican gain of 1850
as compared with the vote of two
years ago. Maintaining the same av-
erage the gains will reach $1,000 ont
side Of Greater New York. In the
two cities below the Harlem the Dem
ocratic plurality of 6O,343 of two years
ago has been reduced about 1900,
giving the state to the head Of the
Republican ticket by $4,000 plurality
in round numbers.
The two branches of the Legislature
remain as before, under the direction
Of the Republicans. The election
throughout the state was orderly and
rapidly conducted. and the results
were quickly compiled.
All the talk about the difficulty Of
handling the blanket ballot went for
naught. So far as the success or fail
ure Of the blanket ballot was con-
cerned the advices from all over the
state show that there was little or no
trouble, and thar the ballot was SO
much of success that the vote was
lOlled quicker than ever before.
Returns received by the Associ-
ated Press from all but 407 out of
1883 election districts north Of the
Harlem river, give Palmer, Rep, for
secretary of state, 344, 4,7O9: King,
Den.. 224,715; Republican plurality
of 119,994 outside of New York and
Kings counties. showing Republic
an gain of 2ti.::s3:. compared with 1S93.
Deducting the Democratic plurality
below the Harlem, the Republican plu.
l1lity in the state at large will he in
excess of 10000.
Maryland
Baltimore. Nov. There is enough
returns to indicate that there has been
a landslide in Maryland and that the
Democratic ticket is underneath by
majorities ranging from 6.OO0 upward.
There seems to be no room for doubt
that the Republicans have elected
their entire state and city ticket, ind
that they will have a working ma
jority in the next legislature, which
will choose a successor to United
States Senator Gibson. Even Howard
county. the home of German. has ap-
parently reversed his ma aiority of 800
and gives Lowndes (Rep.). for govern
or, a majority of at least that number
of votes. Baltimore goes for the Re
publican ticket. both state and mu-
nicipal. by ma iorities ranging from
5000 to 5000. and both branches of
the city council will probably be Re-
publican for the first time in many
years. In fact there is not u leg left
for the Democratic party to stand on
in what has long been considered one
of the safest Democratic states in tlc
Union.
Columbus. Nov. While the high
water mark OF l37.OOO Republican plu-
rality last year for Secretary of State
Taylor will not lie reached, the Kepub-
lican state committee claim that their
record will be broken for the vote Of
any governor. The highest Republic
an plurality for governor heretofore
was that of John BrOugh over G. L..
Vallandigham In 1863 when the latter
was refugee in Canada. The Repub-
licans claim that this plurality will be
surpassed and the Democratic state
conceded the state to the Republicans
by $4,000. or as much as the plurality
Of two years ago. Chairman Ander
son, of the Democratic committee,
had no figures to give out on the leg.
islature. Chairman kurtz, of the Re.
publican state committee. states that
the Republicans have surely elected
q out of the l12 members of the
house, and q out of the 81 members
of the senate, a majority of AZ on joint
ballot for senator.
MaSsachuaetts
Boston. Nov. Z. - The question in
Massachusetts from the first was one
of majority, since the Democratic
leaders admitted the reelection of
Gov. Grecnhalge. How strong his en-
dorsement would he was the point
upon which the two parties differed.
Results show that the claims Of the
Gcpmblicans made prior to the election
were we'll grounded, since Gov. Green
llalge and the entire Republican ticket
is endorsed by plurality practically
'he same as that of 1894. The legis.
lative department of the government
is also solidly Republican.
The hopes of the friends Of female
suffrage have been buried hereath an
avalanche Of ballots. Hardly Il town
that voted shows n majority in favor
Of the proposition to grant suffrage
TO women in municipal affairs. A
fair estimate Of the result would be
three votes against to one in its favor.
Iowa.
Des NIoincs. Nov. 7.--The Republic.
ans claimed the state by 6GO0O, while
the Democrats conceded $1,000. which
was tho Jackson plurality two years
ago. Tile final figures will proba bly,
place it nearer the former than the
latter. Present Indications nre that 1t
cannot 20 below GO.O00. as tahulated
precincts show an average gain over
two years ago of 16. The total vote
cast will be about 27OOO less than
two years ago, and about $4,000 less
than last year. Most Of the losses are
Democrat. The Populists made some
gains. The Prohibitionists are not
polling as large vote as they did two
years ago. The Republican committee
