this year that the vote fell TO 100000 a
plurality Of So 600 over williams. The
Democrats, pursuing a more vigorous
course, received $4,000 votes, as com
pared with 100000 last year. while the
National Democrats not only came
within 1000 of their vote of $4,000 last
year, but actually made a gain of 1 per
cent In ratio to the total vote Of the
state, and obtaining more than the nee
essary 3 per cent, will continue to hold
a place on the state ticket. The Prohi-
bition and Socialist candidates split
up the balance of the total vote this
year of 260, 900, as compared with 1885,
900 last year.
In ratio to last year the Republican
vote fell off 30 per cent, the Democratic
10 and the National Democratic /. There
were but 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 hohse than In 1897. As the Re
publican majority will be about It's, the
few defeats will make no difference.
The senate however, will remain un-
changed, ~ Republicans and Demo-
Gratis j ID II. Sullivan, in this city. re-
gained hE seat as member of the ex-
ecutive founch. which has been oceu-
pied thlAr year by Isaac b. Allen, a coll
ored man whose sensational victory
last year was one Of the features Of the
1896 election. The council thus returns
to its old state Of Z Republicans and 1
Democrat Sullivan had as his opponent
Stanley Ruffan, another colored man,
but the latter was defeated by over
5000.
There was one congressional contest,
in the First district, made necessary by
the death Of Hon. Ashley p. Wright,
and here again the Republican candi-
date, Hon. George r. Lawrence, was
successful. There were few local con-
tests to add to the election, and the day
was one of the quletest in the history
of the state.
A proposition to consolidate the legis-
lative departments Of the city of Boston
in single chamber was voted down by
a majority of about 5000.

control. The certain loss Of Hamilton
county by the Republican legislative
ticket does not necessarily give the
Democrats majority. but It makes 1t
certain the Republicans will have a mar
row margin, II any at all.
The Democrats claim confidently a
majority In both branches Of the legis-
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 except In
Cleveland. The gains in Cincinnati and
Columbus were very large. The Re
publieans gained In the rural districts,
but most Of the changes were due to
the stay at home vote in the rural dis
tricts. which was fully IS per cent.
Editor Charles Christie Of the Gin
cinnati Commercial Tribune says:
Governor Bushnell and the entire
Republican state ticket are elected in
Ohio by about $4,000 plurality. Later
information may increase the figures
given. The legislature Is absolutely
safe for the, Republicans on joint bal
lot thereby insuring the election OF

Judge Carries New York State.
Albany, Nov. S.-Alton B. Parker.
Democratic candidate for chief Judge of
the court of appeals, has defeated Judge
william J. Wallace, his Republican op-
ponent. by upward of 10000 plurality.
The Republican party also suffered
losses in the cities of the state, which
resulted in defeating the Republican
candidates for mayor in Albany, Bing-
hamton, Rochester and Buffalo The
Democratic candidates for mayor who
were elected were: Thomas j. Van AL
styne, in Albany; Conrad Diehl, in Buff
falo; George B. Warner, in Rochester
and Mr.. Dewitt, in Binghamton.
The assembly Of 1898 will, according
to returns received here, have a Repub-

The figures of the total vote of each
candidate shows that had the solid vote
of Low and Tracy been combined on Mr..
Low he would have beaten Judge Van
Wyck by $4,000. In other words, Judge
Van Wycks vote falls that number
short Of equalne the united vote Of
Low and Tracy. He win also fall about
$4,000 votes short of having a majority
over all the candidates
Although the day was rainy the vote
was heavy. In the round up at the polls
Tammany was able to make its thor
ough organization felt.
The Van Wyck voters in the boroughs
of Manhattan and the Bronx simply
overwhelmed everything. The returns
show that his vote in these two bor-
oughs will be almost equal to the COM
bined vote of Low and Tracy.

been received or will be received to-

From fusion headquarters the follow
ing was given out
we lhave carried Nebraska for the
fusion Ticket by a plurality Of from TO-
900 to 50 900. Together with the mag
nihcent victory for the state ticket we
have carried a majority Of the county

THE SEAL TREATY.


Agreement Between United States, Japan
and Russia Ready For stgnsturee.
Washington, Nov. At is expected
that treaty between the United States
Russia and Japan win be formally sign
ed and executed il the state depart
ment during the present week carry
ing out the proposition before the Ber-
ing sea conference for a suspension OF
pelagic sealing. The signing win repre-
sent the completed efforts Of the con
ference, and after il the conference will
adjourn.
The japanese government has ap-
proved the proposition, and there is
no doubt OF its acceptance by Russia
The essential feature Of the treaty Is
for the suspension Of pelagic sealing for
such period as will permit the seal
herd to revive.
The attitude which Great Britain will
assume Is awaited with much interest.
The British expert, Professor darcy
Thompson, has had several talks with
Mr. Foster and Mr.. Hamlin. and these
have been Of such a satisfactory nature
that II was believed an amlcable un-
derstanding would be reached by all
parties concerned II Canada showed a
disposition to assent to the agreement.
But Canada still stands in the way, and
the continued absence Of the Canadian
expert, Mr.. Maeoun, is regarded in the
light Of a diplomatic discourtesy, not
only TO the United States, but 10 the
British government.
No mention is made IN the conven-
ton OF the killing Of seals in case Great
Britain and Canada 60 not cooperate.
II is pointed cut that Russia and Japan
could not adopt retaHatory steps
against Canada, as they have no bor-
der interests with her. ANY action
against Canada, therefore, must be ia
ken by the United States alone

Baltimore, Nov. 3.--The Republicans
have elected their municipal ticket in
Baltimore by majorities ranging from
1900 to 5000, but the state ticket Is in
doubt and there is some reason for be-
lieving that the Democrats have carried
the legislature and that United States
Senator German may succeed himself.
Official returns from the state are Of a
meager and unsatisfactory character, so
that even the chaifmen of the state
central committees hesitate TO express
an unqualified opinion as TO the result
on the state and legislative tickets. A
conservative estimate, based upon par
tial returns indicates that the Demo
Gratis win have 60 votes on joint ballot.
while the Republicans win have g. The
list Of delegates and senators elected by
each party win probably be as follows:
