IN MICHIGAN
Results Mixed but the Silverites
Were There

from the state indicate the reelection
of Charles D. Long, Republican, as JUS
tice of the supreme court, and the de-
feat Of George L. Yaple, Fusion candi-
date.
Charles d. Lawton and William
Crocker, Republican candidates for re-
gents of the state university, were also
elected. The vote was light, and the
free silver sentiment was shown in sew
eral Of the cities more strongly than in
the November election. In few cases
in votes for city officers the Republican
majorities of last fall were turned into
Fusion victories. AS usual, the result
as to local officers is considerably split
up politically
Midnight estimates based on returns
thus far received from the state give
Long upwards of 10000 plurality for su-
preme court justice. The Republican
candidates for regents of the university
were elected by probably somewhat
lesser pluralities, as Judge Long ran
ahead of his ticket generally. McKin-
ley's majority in Michigan was about
58, ,000 Pingree, for governor, was 20,-
900 greater.
With returns from two precincts,
which will not be canvaesed until to-
morrow, still to come, Maybury has 600
majority, Sellers about HOO. A mistake
in the delivery Of these two returns ac-
counts for their delay, and they will be
held by the police until tomorrow.
MAYORS ELECTED.
DETROIT, Mich, April 5.-William
C. Maybury. Democrat, was elected
mayor today by about 1000 majority over
Captain A. p. Stewart Republican. In
view of Mr.. Maybury's victory it is con-
sidered surprising that Judge John
Miner, Democratic candidate for police
justice, was defeated by Judge Albert
F. Sellers, Republican. who was re-
elected by majority fully equal to that
received by Maybury.

a decided defeat for Governor Pingree.
