Pennsylvania and Probably Ken
tucky-The Majorities Large.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 6.-The Post,
democratic, in its extra issued at IL
o'clock, says: It appears that Hardin
leads the democratic ticket, but it also
appears that Bradley leads Hardin, or,
if not, Hardin's majority is so small as
to amount to a virtual defeat. Out
side of Louisville, Bradley carries the
county of Jefferson by 240, and Speed,
the republican candidate for the legis-
lature, is elected, thus depriving Black
burn of one vote. Summarizing the
results, it may be said at this writing
that the majority will not be 5000
either way. Mercer, the home county
of Hardin, at the previous election for
governor, gave a democratic majority
of 35S. At this election Hardin carries
the county by ~, a democratic loss of
ESQ.
NEW YORK GOES REPUBLICAN.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6. Returns from
2,519 election districts out of $3.50
north of the Harlem river, leaving 864
districts to be heard from, give Palmer
frep), for secretary of state, 321, Ats;
King (dem.), 2O7, 5S7, a republican plu-
rality of 113, S9l, showing a republican
gain of %, 1872, compared with the vote
of 1893. The same relative gain will
leave the republicans a plurality of
118, 500 north of the Harlem river. De-
Quoting the democratic plurality of Al
.612 for the head of the state ticket in
New York city, and the estimated plu
rality of 5000 in Brooklyn, the repub-
lican plurality in the state at large
will be settled to fully 10000. The
two branches of the legislature remain
as before, under the direction of the
republicans.
REPUBLICANS CARRY IOWA.
Dies MONIES, Ia, Nov. 6.-At IL
o'clock the republicans claimed the
state by &c, 900. while democrats con-
cede 33, 600, which was Jackson's plur-
ality two years ago. Present indica-
tions are that it cannot go below Co.
600. The populists make some gains,
mostly from the democrats. The pro-
hibitionists are not polling as large
vote as they did two years ago. On
the legislature, few returns have been
received. The republican committee
estimates the house, "A republicans
and 26 democrats, and the senate, AZ
repu biicans and democrats. This
gives Senator Allison 116 out of 15C
votes on joint ballot next winter,
when he comes up for reelection.
DEMOCRATS CONCEDE NEW JERSEY.
TRENTON, n. J., Nov. 6.-The official
vote for governor is: Griggs, IS, 422:
McGill, 1900. Griggs' plurality, 2O,822.
Of the seven senators voted for, five re-
publicans and one democrat were
elected, one being still doubtful. OF
the sixty assemblymen elected, forty
are surely republican, thirteen assur-
eddy democratic, and seven are still in
doubt. If Bergen county, which is re
ported to be in doubt, has been carried
by the republicans, as is probable, the
new senate will stand eighteen repub-
licans and fourteen democrats The
chairman of the Mercer county demo
cratic county committee comedies the
state to the republicans by from 10, 600
to 5000
REPUBLICANS SWEEP OHIO.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 6.-The chair
man of the democratic state central
committee gave out the following:
I'VE concede the state to the repub-
licans by 5000 plurality, and both
branches of the legislature by a large
majority. The populist vote of over
10000 votes for Coxey for governor
hurt us. The hard times were too
fresh in the minds of the people to be
forgotten, and this tended to our de-
feat There is nothing left us on
which to begin the campaign of 1885,
A ~ 1oo
last bulletin claimed 111,OOO plurality
and ia memb of the legislature to
35 democrats.
A LARGE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6. -Returns re-
ceived up to midnight indicate that
Benjamin J. Haywood, republican, has
been elected state treasurer by about
$50, 900 plurality, a repu blican gain over
1893. which was also an off year, OF
about $1,000. This state also elects
seven judges of the new superior court.
Of these the six repu blicans nominated
are elected.
GREENHALGE'S MAJORITY.
BosToN, Nov. 6.-Returns now indi-
cate the majority of Greenhalge will
be about Co. 900 in the state. The ques-
ton in Massachusetts, from the first
was one of majority, since the demo
cratic leaders admitted the reelection
of Gov. Greenhalge. In the house OF
representatives the republicans have
practically the same majority as last
year; which was an overwhelming one.
REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR ELECTED.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. 6.-The returns
from city and state are still far from
complete. The Sun estimates that
Lowndes, republicancandidate for gov
ernor, has carried the city by 10000,
and the state by 10000. In the city
Hurst carried but four wards, the
Second, Fourth, Eighth and Ninth.
