New York, Nov. New York State
has been carried by the Republicans
by pluralities, ranging from $4,000 to
5000, compared with plurality, of
o4,4S4 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 net Republican gain Of 1880
as compared with the vote of two
years ago. Maintaining the same av-
erage the gains will reach $4,000 out
side Of Greater New York. In the
two cities below the Harlem the Dem
ocratic plurality Of 60, 343 of two years
ago has been reduced about 10000,
giving the state to the head Of the
Republican ticket by $4,000 plurality
in round numbers.
The two branchessof 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 that the ballot was so
much Of a success that the vote was
polled quicker than ever before.
Returns received by the Associ-
ated Press from all but 497 out of
al 1iof,. iatc of %ho
Harlem river, give Palmer, Rep, for
Dem, 224,715; Republican plurality
Kings counties, showing Republics
an gain Of 2G,333 compared with 1893.
Deducting the Democratic plurality
below the Harlem, the Republican plu-
l1lity in the state at large will be IN
excess of 10000.
Z, Maryland.
baltimore, Nov. .7.-There is enough
returns to indicate that there has been
landslide in Maryland and that the
Democratic ticket is underneath by
nlajorities ranging from 5000 upward.
There seems to be no room for dOuht
that the Republicans have elected
their entire state and city ticket, end
that they will have 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 majority of 500
and gives Lowrdes (Rep), for govern
or, majority of at least that number
Of votes. Baltimore goes for the Re-
publican ticket, both state and mu-
nj 1>v mo iorif{o, fyo,,,
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 leg left
for the Democratic party to stand on
in what has long been considered one
Of the safest Democratic states in Ike
Union.
Ohio.
Columbus, Nov. ,7.-W1lile the high
water mark Of 1877 600 Republican plu-
rality last year for Secretary Of State
Taylor will not be reached, the Repub-
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. Il.
Vallandigham in 1868 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 112 members Of the
house. and 81 out Of the 81 members
of the senate, majority of Al on joint
ballot for senator.
Massachusetts.
Boston, Nov. Z. - The question in
Massachusetts from the first was one
of majority, since the Democratic
leaders admitted the reelection Of
Gov. Greenhalge. How strong his en-
dorsement 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 we'll grounded, since Gov. Green
halge and the entire Republican ticket
is endorsed by plurality practically
the 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 beneath an
avalanche Of ballots. Hardly town
that voted shows 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 Moines. Nov. 1.-THE Republic
ans claimed the state by $4,000, while
the Democrats conceded $4,000. which
was the Jackson plurality two years
ago. The final figures will probably
place it nearer the former than the
latter. Present Indications are that it
cannot 20 below 10000, us tabulated
precincts show an average gain over
two-years ago of 16. The total vote
cast win be about $1,000 less than
two years ago, and about $4,000 less
than last year. Most of the losses are
. Democrat. The Popullsts made some
gains. The Prohibitionists are not
