MISSISSIPPI AND VIRGINIA
HOLD THEIR OWN,
WHILE MARYLAND LOSES AND
KENTUCKY SEEMS FATED.
Many Democratic Stronghold Cap
tured by the Republicans.

states where q general vote was cast
only four could reasonably have been
considered doubtful These were New
York, New Jersey, Maryland and Ken
lucky. In every one of these doubt
full states the democrats were defeated.
The dispatches below.tell the tale Of the
battle of ballots:
KentuclSy's Tale of Woe.
The story of Tuesday in Kentucky
was very much like that of a year ago.
It was something in tao nature Of
landslide. Old democratic strongholds
have gone republican, while others
have suffered serious diminution Of
their accustomed mniorities. The re-
turns from one hundred and five of the
one hundred and nineteen counties
give Colonel William o. Bradley, re-
publican candidate for governor, a ma
iority over p. Wat Hardin, the demo-
catic candidate, of 1906 votes. The
other fourteen counties, estimated &c
cording to the vote cast at the last gu
bernatorial race, will swell this major
ity to nearly 5000. The Courier
journal says: Democrats of Ken
lucky are asking where they stand
today. 1t was an avalanche. The
governors race is in doubt The
legislature is in doubt. Democratic
majorities in democratic strongholds
have been shaved TO almost nothing.
As it stands, with reports from about
eight counties, Bradley has a lead of
about 4, 900 votes for governor. There
may be better news to come from the
unreported counties, but the same
ratio of democratic losses would land
Mr.. Bradley in the executive mansion
at Frankfort. 1t is an open question
whether either Senator Blackburn or
Mr.. McCreary or either will be United
States senator from Kentucky"
The legislature may be republican
but the hold-over senators will save
the democrats on joint ballots. The
legislature appears to be 65 democrats
against 60 opposition. The populists
hold the balance of power. Black
burns friends claim his election with
the aid of the populists.
NEW YORK, November 5.-The re-
publicans have carried New York state
and Tammany has swept the city clean.

Vanwyck, John p. Schuchman, Ed
ward E. Odwyer, justices of the city
court; William Sohmer, register. Ac-
cording to returns so far received,

men out of thirty. five.
The republicans have elected the fol-
lowing state ticket:

James A. Roberts, comptroller; Addi-
son B. Colvin, treasurer; Theodore E.
Hancock, attorney general; Campbell

or Celora E. Martin, associate judge

was orderly and rapidly conducted and
the results were quickly complied.
United Press bulletins say that the
senators elected in New York state
comprise thirty-four republicans and
sixteen democrats.
New YORK, November 6.-There is
no doubt that the republican state Of
ficers have been elected by pluralities
averaging about50, 900. The estimated
pluralities above the Harlem are about
100, 900. The democrats carried New
York city by fully 10000 and the city
of Brooklyn by something like 1000
to 3, 1000, leaving safe margin in the
state at large of $4,000 votes in the re-
publicans' favor.
From Mississippi.
JACKSON, Miss. The absolute GER
tainty of the election of the en-
tire democratic state ticket by a
majority anywhere from $4,000 to
$1,000, tended to make small vote
except in counties where the populista
had hopes of electing their candidates
for the legislature and county officers.
In such instances the full vote has been
polled.
The contested counties are mostly
remote from telegraph connections and
the chairman of the state democratic
committee does not expect to receive
