THE TIDAL WAVE

1t Is a Clean Republican Sweep
With the Exception of New

The Republicans of the old Bay state
are rightfully iubilant over the reelection
of Gov. Greenhalge by a plurality of 64,-
400 over George Fred Williams, the Demo
cratic candidate. The vote stood: Green
halge, 1S5, 800; Kendall, S760; Williams,
121, ,401. Greenhalge's plurality last year
was 65,377. The other state officers elect
ed are: Lieutenant-governor, Roger VOL
colt of Boston; secretary of state, William
NJ. Olin of Boston; treasurer, Edward z.
Shaw of Newburyport; auditor, John w.
Kimball of Fitchburg; attorney-general,
Hosea M. Knowlton of New Bedford, all
Republicans.
The strongest work of the Democrats
was put forth for the election of members
of the legislature. As the result of this
they appear to have gained IL members-3
senators and representatives. The Sen
ate will have 33 Republicans, Democrats,
and the House 1874 Republicans and 55
Democrats. The governors council will
have only one Democratic member. The
question of municipal suffrage for women.
which excited much interest and discussion,
was defeated by majority of about ~
900. The interest in the campaign CEN
tered in the figure the A. =. A. would cut
The notable result is that the secret order
was not able to affect Gov. Greenhalge's
vote seriously, though they pushed some of
their legislative candidates through.
In New York, save only the triumph of
Tammany in the city, the result is a Repub-
lican victory of magnificent proportions.
The minor state officers elected two years
ago by the Republican party have been re-
elected, and the two branches of the legis-
lature remain under Republican control.
The Democratic state ticket has plurality
of 10000 votes in the city, but the remain
der of the state shows immense Republican
gains, and the Republican state ticket is
elected by 10000, and perhaps much more
The Republican plurality "above the Har-
LEM will probably reach round 130 900.
New Jersey 10000.
One of the most notable victories of the
day was that won by the Republicans in
New Jersey. One year ago the people,
largely without regard to party lines, turn
ed against the corrupt rings that ruled the
state and redeemed it from their grasp.
This year the victory amounts to a land
slide. For the first time since Grant car
ried the state in 1872 straight Republi-
can victory has been won. More than
this, it is 81 years since Marcus l.. Ward
was elected Republican governor of New
Jersey, in an hour when the shouts of vic
tory over rebellion made Democracy help
less. Never since has the state chosen
Republican executive, until Tuesday John
w. Griggs was elected by a majority
so large as to cast into eclipse all Demo
cratic triumphs. His plurality will reach
or exceed $4,000. Five of the seven new
state senators are Republican, and at least
40 of the go assembly men. In all depart
ments the state is strongly Republican.
The triumph of the Republicans in Ohio
has exceeded the expectations of the most
sanguine. In ex-Gov. Campbell the Demo-
Gratis nominated their most popular man
and stout fight was made for him. The
Republicans expected to see big cut made
in Gov. McKinley's plurality of $4,000 in
1898, but to their surprise it has been
largely increased, and the plurality for
Gov. Bushnell, the Republican candidate,
will be more than 100000. The Republi-
cans have large majority on joint ballot
in the assembly and a gratifying outcome
will be the election of a Republican to sue
ceed Mr.. Brice in the United States Senate
The issue of the elections was the Demo
cratic tariff and the wool growers showed
once more by their votes their opinion of
free wool and the woolen schedules of the
new Wilson German act.
GOrmanIsm Overthrow.
One of the most satisfactory features of
the days work was the overthrow of Cor
man and his bosssm in Maryland. 1t was
a hot fight on both sides, but Hurst, Cor
mans man for governor, was beaten and
Lowndes, Republican, was elected by 20
000 1t was clean victory for honest poll
tics and good government. In Baltimore
it was the worst day for violence since the
war, but the Republicans triumphed in the
city by 10000 plurality. The election of
Lowndes for governor and of the Republi-
can nominee for mayor of Baltimore, is the
most signal defeat which Senator German
has ever suffered. 1t is notable that his
own county went against him. The legs-
lature will be Republican on joint ballot,
thereby ensuring Republican successor to
United States Senator Gibson.
The story of Pennsylvania is quickly
told, Haywood, the Republican candidate
for state treasurer, having been elected by
a majority of about 175, ,000,-and the six
Republican candidates for the superior
court, by majorlties slightly below that of
Haywood.
Inc Iowa elecJlon was IOr Iull STATE
ticket and legislature. The plurality for
Drake, Republican, for governor, is at
least $4,000. The Republican state COM
mittee claims the state by that figure and
the legislature by two-thirds majority.
The Populists made gains all over the
state. Their total vote may be $4,000.
In Nebraska the election was for one
| justice of the supreme court and two re-
gents of the state university. The state
has gone Republican by at least 10000.
The Populists lost heavily.
