elected in Iowa, Kentucky, Ohio, Mary
land and Mississippi. Utah as a Ter
ritory voted for a State constitution
and a full complement of State Of
ticials.
The results show a continuance Of the
Republican sweep Of last year, the ma
jorties being reduced in most States.
but still remaining of a decisive char
acter. Taken as a whole, the Republi-
| can majorities were unexpectedly large
and indicate the continuance of the
sentiment that for the past two years
has been turning State and Legislative
power into their hands.
Perhaps the most remarkable result
was shown in New York city, where
the great anti-Tammany triumph Of a
year ago was turned into a decisive
Tammany victory, by pluralities rang
ing from 1900 to $4,000. This resul:
was largely brought about by the re-
volt of the German voters against the
policy Of enforcing the Sunday lave
adopted by the new reform admins.

Republicans, however, scored a decisive
success for Mayor and county officers ir

ocratic strongholds of New Jersey anG

jcrity in New Jersey was reduced from
last year, but in Maryland the formd-
able power Of Senator German has re

Iowa are also Indicative Of the present
sweep of national political sentiment.
