IN MASSACHUSETTS.

Boston Goes Republican for the Sec
ond Time in Two Years.
Boston, Nov. 3.-At the elections yes
terday the Republicans swept the state
by a substantial majority, electing
their entire ticket as we'll 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 a
vigorous campaign on national issues,
rolled up vote of 25S, 900, but such was
the lack of interest this year that the
vote fell to 1854, 600, a plurality of $1,000
over Williams. The Democrats, pursu-
ing a more vigorous course, received
$4,000 votes, as compared with 100, 600
last year, while the National Demo-
Gratis not only came within 100 of their
vote of 14164 last year, but actually
made a gain of per cent. in ratio to
the vote of the state, and obtaining
more than the necessary 8 per cent,
will 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 The attempt to consolidate
the legislative departments of the city
in a 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 1873, the
few defeats will make no difference
The senate viii remain unehanged-34
Republicans and Democrats.
John H. Sullivan, in this city, re-
gained his seat as a member of the
executive council, which has been oc-
cupied this year by Isaac B. Allen, a
colored man, whose sensational VIC
tory last year was one of the features
of the 1886 election. The council thus
returns to its old state of Republicans
and / Democrat
There was one congressional contest,
In the First district, made necessary
by the death of Hon. Ashley B. Wright,
and here the Republican candidate,
Hon. George P. Lawson, was success
full.
Boston, Nov. 4.-The entire vote of
the state, with the exception of the
town of Gosnold, was completed last
night, and the returns give Wolcott,
I65, $40; Williams, 7s,414; Everett, 14,134
In the second Hapden senatorial dis
trict William 3. Mahoney Oem.) was
elected over D. H. Ives (Rep.), the pres
ent incumbent. This makes the senate

ocrats. The house remains unchanged,
