Boston Goes Republican for the Soc
ond Time In Two Years.

Boston Goes RcpuDllcan Tor inc soc.
ond Time In Two Yenrs.
Boston, Nov. 3-At the elections yes
terday the Republicans swept the state
by substantial majority, electing
their entire ticket as well as three
Quarters of the members Of both
branches Of the legislature. The
apathy which marked the entire cam
paign extended to the election, although
the stormy weather which prevailed all
day probably accounted for consider
able portion of the decrease in the vote.
The tremendous majority which last
year elected Governor Wolcott fell off
considerably, while George Fred Will
Jams, the Democratic leader, also suf-
fered, but not nearly as much.
Last year the Republicans, after
vigorous campaign on national issues,
rolled up q vote Of 25S,0O0, but such was
the lack of interest this year that the
vote fell to $4,000, a plurality Of $1,000
over Williams. The Democrats, pursu-
Ing q more vigorous course, received
10000 votes, as compared with 1O3,C0O
last year, while the National Demo-
Gratis not only came within 100 of their
vote of IA 1874 last year, but actually
made gain Of 2 per cent. in ratio to
the vote of the state, and obtaining
more than the necessary 3 per cent,
vii! continue to hold a place on the
state ticket.
For the second time in two years this
city, ordinarily strongly Democratic.
gave a substantial majority to Roger
Wolcott. There was, however, de-
ci6sA falling off in the vote for
both candidates, and in this VOL
colt suffered more than Williams. With
a lead of 1900 over his opponent last
year, the governor this year had a
trilie over $500 in total vote of about
$4,000. Wolcott's vote Of $1,000 this
year shows a decrease of 30 per cent
from that given him last year, while
Williams vote Of 2i5O0 shows less than
20 per cent decrease. The attempt to
consolidate the Legislative departments
| of the city in single chamber was
voted down by a majority of about
5000
There are few close contests for seats
in either branch of the legislature, but
singularly enough nearly all resulted in
victories for the Democrats. SO that
there will be four less Republicans in
| the 1898 house than in 1897. AS the Re-
publican majority will be about 1888, the
few defeats will make no difference
The senate will remain unchanged-34
Republicans and G Democrats.

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

tDo prisoners, was u person of a weak and
/. not perfectly sound mind; that he was
considered burdensome to the family Of
the prisoners, who were obliged to sup.
port him; that on the day OF his disap-
pearance, being in distant field, where
the prisoners were at work, violent
f'arrel broke out between them, and that
one OF them struck him violent blow on
the back OF tho head with club which
folled him to the ground.

THE RESULT IN PENNSYLVANIA.
DR.. Swallow Gets l25, 200 Votes and
Carries Nine Counties.


Philadelphia, Nov. 3.--Returns from
one-half the wards of this city indi-
cate the election of Colonel Clayton
McMichael Qtep) for city treasurer and
Horatio =. Hackett (Rep) for register
of wills by majorities approXimating
5000. Judges Breezy, Wiltbanh. Auden-
ried and Ferguson were unanimously
reelected, they having been endorsed
by both parties. The proposition to
increase the Indebtedness of the city
81, 900 for public improvements has
been carried by about 10000. Under the
provisions of the constitution the citys
debt could not be further increased
except by the approving vote of the
people. The vote Is about 30 per cent
under that of last year and will not
quite equal the "off year" vote of 1895.
Chairman John M. Garman, of the
state Democratic committee was in
tervlewed in Harrisburg last night. He
said; 1.-THE returns from Pennsylvania
show that the Republican party and its
management have been severely re-
buked by the people, Notwithstanding
ceived highly complimentary vote In
many localities. Though many Demo-
Gratis voiced their protest by voting for
Swallow instead of their own ticket
yet the gains shown by Brown and
Ritter indicate that the people are not
averse to sustaining the Democratic
party when the candidates are clean
and honest. This election indicates that
in 1898 the congressional and guberna-
toral elections will probably be favor
able to the Democrats"
Returns from the state Indicate that
DR.. S. C. Swallow. Prohibition candi-
date for state treasurer, known in poll
ties as "the fighting parson," has re-
ceived more than 125000 votes. In the
counties of Blair. Clinton, Cumber-
land, Dauphin, Huntington, Lycoming,
Juniata, Montour and Northumberland
the returns indicate that Swallow de-
feated Beacon, the regular Republican
candidate. In 1895 the Prohibition vote
in the state was 20,779 and last year it
was 1924
The result in Dauphin county caused
a jubilation by the friends of DR.. Swal-
low in Harrisburg. The doctors friends
did not anticipate such a result and
paraded the streets with a band. In
that county the Republicans carried
everything but state treasurer.
The incomplete figures show an ap-
parent plurality for Beacon. the head
of the Republican ticket, of $4,000, as
against Haywood's plurality of 174,-
264 in 1895. The indications are that Nc
Cauley, the Republican candidate for
auditor general. received about no.
0cO plurality.
The vote throughout the state shows
that General McCauley, the candidate
for auditor general ran several thou
sand ahead Of Beacon, the Republic

New York, Nov S.-Tammany's VIC
tory In the first municipal election in
greater New York Is sweeping one.
The only question remaining to be
settled is the one of the plurality by
which the entire ticket headed by Rob-
ert A. Van Wyck has carried the gi-
gantic municipality. 1t can scarcely be
less than 10000, and may be larger
than that. Van Wyck has polled
vote which falls possibly 10000 under
the combined votes of General Tracy,
Republican, and Seth Low, Citizens
Union The latter was successful to the
extent Of polling an aggregate vote In
excess Of the 10000 pledges implied by
the signatures to the petition upon
which at the outset offered to Join
hands with the Republican party or
sanitation in q concerted effort to ex-
clude Tammany from power in the
greater city to como into being Jan. l,
1SsS. with population the second in
magnitude Of the great cities of the
world. The offer was declined on the
ground that in any such movement the
Republican organization would par
ticipate only coincidentally with the
other party to the compact, and the
Citizens Union, on the other hand,
refused to recall its nomination of Mr.
Low In order that the form Of select
Ing O candidate might be carried out
oonjointly with the Republican organi-
xation.

Columbus, O., Nov. 3.-The result in
Ohio Is SO close that 1t may require the
official count to determine the result.
especially on the political complexion of
the legislature. The Republicans and
the Democrats are both claiming the
state and the legislature with such per-
sistence that it will require the official
count at least to get one or the other
to concede defeat. Incomplete returns
indicate the election of the Republican
state ticket by 10000 to 1900, but the
result on the legislature is so close that
no definite figures can be given out
now. The Democrats claim confidently
majority In both branches of the leg
islature, but give no figures on the
number Of representatives and sena-
tors. The Republicans claim "a repre-
sentatives and II senators sure or II
votes on joint ballot, 70 being necessary
to elect senator. They also claim all
the IL representatives whose counties
have not been definitely heard from and
all Of which are in the doubtful list.
Out of the five state senators yet to
hear from the Republicans claim three,
SO that the result on the legislature
cannot be determined until all the
doubtful counties and districts are
heard from. Both sides are watching
the count very carefully, especially on
the legislative candidates that are in
doubt.
The change from the result Of last
year shows that the Democrats have
gained in all of the cities largely ex-
cept in Cleveland. The gains in Gin
clnnati and Columbus were very large.
The Republicans gained in the rural
districts, but most of the changes were
due to the stay at home vote in the
rural districts, which was fully Is per
cent.
A telegram from Cleveland announces
that at 1 o'clock this morning Senator
Hanna claimed a majority of the legis-
lature on Joint ballot. OF the result he
said Il am not surprised that the re-
suit Of the election has been a victory
for the Republican party l have con-
fidently predicted from the outset that
the people of Ohio would by their votes
stamp their approval of the national
administration"
