THE ELECTIONS.
The Republicans Have a Shade the
Best Of the Results
New York State Goes Republican. While
Tammany Carries the City-The
Democrats showed Under
In Maryland.
New York.


New York, Nov. 6.-Returns received
from all but 497 out of the 8. 3s3 election
districts north of the Harlem river in
New York state, give Palmer (Rep). for
secretary of state, S44, 700; King Dem. J.
224, us; a Republican plurality of 119, 1874
outside of New York and Kings county
showing a Republican gain of 20, 333
compared with 1898. Deducting the
Democratic plurality below Harlem.
the Republican plurality IN the state
at large will be in excess of 10000.
The nearly completed returns show
that the Tammany county ticket fell
behind the vote for Democratic state
ticket by from 90, 900 to "a, 900.
Maryland.
Baltimore, Nov. S. There are re-
turns to indicate that there has been a
landslide in Maryland and that the
Democratic ticket is underneath it by
majorities ranging form 5000 upward.
There seems to be no room for doubt
that the Republicans have elected their
entire state and city ticket, and that
they will have a working majority in
the next legislature, which will choose
Gibson. Even Howard county. the
home of Senator German, has appar-
emily reversed its normal Democratic
majority of 500 and gives Lowndes
(Rep.), for governor, majority of at
least that number of votes.
Baltimore city goes for the Repub-
lican ticket, both state and municipal,
by majorities of from 5000 TO 5000.
Ohio.
Columbus, o.. Nov 5.-While the high
water mark of 1000 Republican plu-
rality last year for Secretary of State
Taylor will not be reached, the Repub-
lican state committee since midnight
CLAIM that their record will be broken
for the vote on any governor. The
highest Republican plurality for gov
ernor heretofore was that for John
Brough over Clement l.. Vallandigham
in 1868, when the latter was a refugee
in Canada. The Republicans claim
that this plurality will be surpassed
and the Democratic state committee
conceded the state to the Republicans
at IL o'clock, when they closed their
headquarters, by $4,000, or as much as
the plurality of two years ago.
Iowa.
Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 5.-Reports
from the state show that the weather
was generally pleasant, but the vote
polled was up to expectations. Large
Republican gains are reported from
every county. One hundred precincts
heard from at 10 p. m. show net Rep
ublican gain of about "a to the pre-
cinct. If this ratio is kept up the Re-
publican plurality over two years ago
will be upwards of $4,000
The Republican state central COM
mittee claims plurality for Drake of
$4,000, a gain of $4,000 over that of
Jackson's two years ago.
New Jersey.
Trenton, n. j., Nov. 5.--Franklin
Murphy, chairman of the state Repub-
lican committee, claims to have figures
from the 81 counties of the state, which
give Griggs Is, 900 plurality. On the
other hand, Edward f. C. Young chair
man of the Democratic state commit
tee, claims the state for McGill by from
5000 to 10000 plurality. 1t Is certain,
however, that the Republicans have
elected four of the seven senators. This
is not material, as the senate would
still be Republican, even though the
Democrats were to elect all seven.
Kentucky.
Louisville, X, Nov. 5.-The returns
are coming in scattering from all por-
tions of the state. 1t appears that
Hardin leads the Democrat ticket
But it also appears that Bradley leads
Hardin, or. if not, Hardin's majority is
so small as to amount to a virtual de-
feat. Outside of Louisville, Bradley
carries the county of jefferson by 240,
and Speed, the Republican candidate
for the legislature, is elected, thus de-
priving Senator Blackburn of one vote.
Returns to midnight from 95 counties
and towns, mostly incomplete, give
Hardin, 80, 1855; Bradley, 2s, 536. Other
returns received give Bradley MAORI
ty aggregating 1896, leaving a net
majority of 1928 for Hardin.
Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, Nov. 5.-Careful esti-
mates of the vote in the 81 counties of
Pennsylvania show plurality for Ben
jamin j. Haywood (Rep.), for state
treasurer, over benjamin X. Mayors
Dem. }, of 157, 919, gain as compared
with the vote of 1898, for the same Of
fee, of 2e,273. 1t will probably re-
quire the official count to determine
who is the Democratic member of the
superior court
massachusetts.
Roston, Nov. 5.-The question in Mas
sachusetts from the first was one of
majority, since the Democratic leaders
admitted the reelection of Gov. Green
halge. How strong his Endorsement
would be was the point upon which the
two parties differed. Results show
that the claims of the Republicans
made prior to the election were well
grounded, since Gov. Greenhalge and
the entire Republican ticket is Endorsed
by plurality practically the same as
that Of 1894, some 60, 900.
