Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1897-11-04
ELECTION News.
Results in the Various States Last
Tuesday.
DEMOCRATS CARRY VIRGINIA.

Maryland and South Dakota Remain
in Republican Column. Nebraska
and Utah Stand by Bryan and Colo
rado Probably Gone Republican.
The indications are that the Democrats
have carried Virginia by an overwhelming
majority. Ofthe State Senator's twenty
in number, the Democrats elected all their
candidates on Tuesday and "a or 95 of the
one hundred members of the House of
Delegates. The responsibility of all legis-
lation will be placed upon the Democratic
party and we may depend upon it that
with such complete control Of the Legisla-
ture much unwise legislation will come.
In Ohio fierce battle was fought and
the Democrats were very hopeful of carry
ing the Legislature if not their candidate
for governor. But they have met with
disappointment. Bushnell isre-elected by
governor by very large plurality and the
Republicans will have majority of seven
in the legislature on joint ballot. This in.
sures the election of Republican as sue
cessor of Mark Hanna to the United States
Senate. We suppose MIR. Hanna will sue
ceed himself. This was considered the
year for the Democrats to carry Ohio.
Their failure to do SO is great blow to
Organism and dooms it in the Buckeye
State.
In Iowa the Republicans have elected
their State ticket by large plurality, es-
timated at about $4,000. Both branches
ofthe Legislature have a Republican major :
ity that will amount to nearly fifty on joint
ballot.
In Pennsylvania the Republicans won by
their normal plurality of about 10000.
There was heavy plurality for the Re-
publican ticket throughout the State.
Beacon, Republican candidate for State
Treasurer, received 5000 plurality. Swal-
lowl the Prohibition candidate, for Threas-
urer received over 100, 900 votes.
There was Republican flood in Mas
sachusetts. Governor Roger Wolcott was
elected by huge plurality which is es-
timated at $1,000. The city of Boston
goes Republican as does every other city
in the State.
Maryland has gone Republican again
and German is completely showed under.
This is significant. 1t tells what Mary
land will do i'll 1900 with Organism and
free silver ss the issues. The monumen-
tai city elects Malster, Republican. Mayor.
A late telegram received by MIR. w. G.
HARRISON gives the intelligence that the
Republicans will have majority of 10 in
the State Senate and in the House, which
will give them majority of 13 in the
Legislature on joint ballot, and will insure
another U. S. Senator for the Republicans.
South Dakota has gone Republican it is
claimed, and Colorado is also claimed to
have been carried by Hayt, candidate Of
the Republicans and Silver Republicans,
over Gabbert, candidate Of Populists and
Democrats.
Nebraska has been won blythe Bryanite
fusion ticket by plurality about equal
to that given Bryan last year. The claim
first made that the plurality had been
increased has been abandoned, and later
returns may reduce it.
In Utah the results are very much
mixed.
In Ogden the Democrats elected the
mayor by twenty majority, while the Re-
publicans elected all the other city officers
including set of ten members of council.
In Salt Lake the city officers are divided
between the Citizens Reform party, the
Democrats and Republicans.
Upon the whole the elections this year
give very little encouragement to Organism.
But for the great victory in Virginia there
would be very little comfort for our Pop
ocratic friends coming from the elections
of last Tuesday. In State elections in
Virginia victoty for the. Democrats is
about like the Dutch taking Holland.
The following is the vote in Tazewell
county:
FOR GOVERNOR;
]. Hoge Tyler........ ....... ...............1S96
Patrick II. McCaull.. .......................1270
