The Buffalo Commercial is right when
it says;
Not all OF our merchants or business
men are wide awake; many of them
drive along in the old rut. But it will
be noticed that the merchants who to-
day are the leaders IN Buffalo trade :;
who are taking the new and superb
stores: whose stores are crowded every
day in the week, and who are continual
ly crying out for more roOm-those
are the men who advertise freely-and
every day in the year. They do not put
in few inches occasionally, and then
drop out of the paper and out of notice.
These remarks apply with equal force
to other towns than Buffalo.

POPULisTs
Republicans Win n Decided Victory
Throughout Kansas.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Nov. 5.-Returns up
to about midnight indicate that the Re-
publicans of Kansas have carried a ma
jority OF their county tickets in their en-
tirety by pluralities of from two hundred
to eight hundred and that David Martin.
Republican candidate for Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court, is reelected by a hand
some majority. In many instances Martin
ran ahead of his ticket. Charles X. Holli-
day. jr, Democrat, however. made a bet
ter showing than was generally anticipated
for him. Republicans carry Wyandotte,
Butler, Cherokee. Montgomery. Reno and
Johnston counties. but as a rule losses
are shown over last years elections. The
Populists carry Clay county and the fusion
lists Lyons and Sedwick counties Atchison
and Shawnee counties are missing. 1t has
been raining for several hours and re-
turns from many counties will not be re-
ceived until morning.
Additional returns increase the number of
counties carried by the Republicans and in
dictate that they will nave practically all
of the offices. Martins majority over Hol-
liday for Chief Justice will probably reach
10000. a decided record on the resubmission
question which the latter candidate rep
resented. Holiday was a free silver can
didate. 1t IS that 100000 votes
were polled. Chairman Breidenthal. of The
Populist State central committee, asserts
that his party held their own and elected
about thirty county officers now
held by Republicans. lie claims
further that Populist judges were
elected in the Sixth. Eighth and
Eighteenth districts and that the result in
the Seventh. Ninth and Twentieth districts
is in doubt. The others are admittedly
Republican. The Democratic and Repub-
lican chairmen have not made any state
ments publicly. but ii is generally conceded
that the Democrats got practically no
offices and that the Republicans with few
exceptions carried everything. The fusion
tickets detracted to some extent from the
Republican support and the A. z. A. con-
tingent aided the Republicans.

years. For several days past the Demo-
cratic managers have feared that some of
the senatorial, as we'll as a number of the
house districts, were in LANCER of being
lost by this lack of activity of the can
vass. The returns justify the fears. The
election was for half of the Senate (twen-
typ and the whole membership of the
House of Delegates Q00. In many cour-
ties the Republicans combined with the
Pcpulists and other anti-Democratic ele-
ments, and made the issue on a cry of
fair elections. Long before his death Gen.
Malone advocated this issue. and at a con-
ference held in Petersburg. last May, there
was adopted a so-called fair-election bill,
which it was proposed should be made the
issue in this campaign. The indications are
that in most sections of the State a small
vote was polled. In many Of the black
belt counties, notably in the section of
Norfolk, the negroes seem to have sup
ported the Democratic candidate. The de-
tailed returns. so far as received, show
that the new senate will stand thirty-four
Democrats and six anti-Demccrats, and
the House about eighty Democrats and
twenty democrats. Reports from
woodstock indicate the defeat Of Walton,
Democrat, for the State Senate. He was
the author of the new election measure.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Sowing to the

MASSACHUSETTS.
The Great Republican Victory Of 1874
Duplicated This Year.

Duplicated This Year.
BOSTON, Nov. 1.-THE question in Messa-
chusetts from the first was one of majority,
since the Democratic leaders admitted the
reelection of Governor Greenhalge. How
strong his Endorsement would be was the
point on which the two parties differed. Re-
suits show that the claims of the Repub-
leans made prior TO the election were well
grounded, since Governor Greenhalge and
the entire Republican ticket is Endorsed by
a plurality practically the. same as that of
1894. The legislative department of the gov
eminent is also solidly Republican, 3 of the
40 Senators elected being of that political
faith. There is a slight gain for the Demo-
cratic party, the Senate last year having
stood SO Republic ans and 4 Democrats. In
the House of Representatives the Republic
ans nave practically the same majority as
last year, which was an overwhelming one.
The Governors council will contain but one
Democrat as an adviser in the executive
chamber. In brief. the result is a clean
sweep for the Republican party in the State,
1t having suffered in no way from the sup
posed detection caused by the A. p. A.
movement.
The hopes of the friends of female suf-
frage have been buried beneath an avalanche
of ballots. Hardly a Town that voted shows
q majority in favor of the proposition to
grant suffrage to woman in municipal af-
fairs. A fair estimate of the result would
be three votes against female suffrage to
one in its favor.
The Greenhalge plurality in Massachu-
sets, estimating the vote of Brockton to
be the same as last year, will he 63S5S.

No Doubt About Mr. Aliison's Re-
Election TO the Senate.

DES MONIES. Ia, Nov. Sat II o'clock
Republicans claim the State by $1,000, while
the Democrats concede 1900. which was
Jackson's plurality two years ago. The final
figures will probably place ii nearer the
former than the latter. Present indications
are that IL cannot go below 6O.0C0, as tabu-
lated precincts show an average gain over
two years ago of about 16. The total vote
cast will be about 1900 less than two years
ago. and about $1,000 less than last year.
Most of these losses are Democratic. The
PopuliSts make some gains. mostly from
the Democrats. The Prohibitionists are not
polling as large a vote as they did two years
ago. All these figures are liable to change,
as the precincts not yet reported are liable
to show important changes. On the Legis-
lature few returns have been received. The
Republican committee estimates the House
"a Republicans and 26 Democrats, and the
Senate AZ Republicans and s Democrats.
This gives Senator Allison 116 out of $50

ably, while Iowa continues Republican.
Utah chooses two United States Senators
for the first time, but the complexion of
the Legislature is not yet certain. The
Utah Senators take their seats in the Sem
ate shortly after Congress assemblies. The
changes in Ohio and Maryland will not
affect the Senate until after March 4, 1897.
The Republican majority in the next Ohio
Legislature, as shown by the returns from
Ohio, insures the retirement of Senator
Brice, Democrat, and the succession of a
Republican. 1t appears to be settled that
Ex-Governor Foraker will be the choice of

In Maryland the election of a Republic
an Legislature-the first in many years
will bring about the retirement of Senator
Gibson and the election Of a Republican in
his place. AS yet no names have been
mentioned in connection with the success
sion. The election of a Republican Legls-
lature in Iowa is not unexpected, and IL is
considered settled that Senator Allison will
be elected to succeed himself, his present
term expiring March 4. 1897. In Kentucky
incomplete returns indicate a Democratic
Legislature, which will elect Senator Black
burn to succeed himself, but up to 1 q. m.
the Legislature is in doubt. The return
of a Democratic Legislature in Mississippi
has been a foregone conclusion. Ii Will
elect a successor to Senator George. The
returns from New York and New Jersey
indicate Republican gains. These Legisla-
lures do not elect United States Senator's
this year, but, as part OF the legislators
hold over, the present election is important
in Influencing those bodies. which will elect
successors TO Senator Hill. of New York,
and Senator Smith. of New Jersey, whose
terms expire March 1. 1897.
