Republicans Carry the State by
$4,000 Plurality.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2.-The COM
plete returns from all the wards in

rality was 14.54S and last year Nc
Kinley had 113, 139.
Returns at midnight from the State
indicate that Or. s. c. Swallow, Pro-
hibition candidate Tor State Treasurer,
known in politics as "the fighting par
son. has received more than 12o.U00
votes. In the count es of Blair, Clin-
ton. Cumberland, Dauphin. Huntington.
Lyoming, Juaniata, Montour and
Northumberland, the returns indicate
that Swallow defeated Beacon, the reg
ular Republican candidate.
In 1895 the prohibition vote in the
State was 20,779, and last year it was
1874.
Estimates from sixty out of sixty
seven counties in Pennsylvania indi-
cate that Dr. Swallow, Prohibitionist,
has carried the counties of Blair, Clin-
ton, Cumberland, Dauphin. Huntington,
Juniata. Lycoming, MontOur and
Northumberland The complete fig
ures show an apparent plurality for
Beacon. the head of the Republican
ticket. of $4,000 against Haywood's
plurality of ia. .265 in 1895. The indi-
cations are that McCauley, the Repubh-
can candidate for Auditor General, re-
ceived about 10000 plurality.

Looks as Though the Democrats
Have the Legislature.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 2.-The Republi-
cans have elected their municipal ticket
in Baltimore by majorities ranging
from 1000 to 5000, but the State ticket
is in doubt, and there is some reason
for believing the Democrats have car
ried the Legislature, and that Senator
German may succeed himself. Official
returns from the State are of the most
meager and unsatisfactory character
so that even the Chairman of the State
Central Committee hesitates TO ex-
press an unqualified opinion as to the
result of the State and Legislative
tickets.
A conservative estimate based upon
partial returns indicate that the Demo-
Gratis viii have sixty votes on joint
ballot, while the Republicans have fif
ty-seven.
The list of delegates and Senators
elected to-day by each party will prob
ably be as follows:
Republicans-Al1eghe g. Anne and

There are twelve hold-over Senator's,
of whom nine are Republican and three
Democrats. When these are added to
the list of those chosen to-day the total
will be: Republicans 81. Democrats 60.
Major Johnston, Chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee,
gave the Associated Press the follow
ing statement: ''The State Democratic
ticket will be elected by majority of
not less than 1900. Seventy per cent.
of the 121 members of the Legislature
will be Democratic. All of the old
Democratic counties and many of the
Republicans elect Democratic local Of

Tammany's Candidate Carries New

NEW YORK, Nov. ,. - Tammany

Greater New York is a sweeping one.
The only question remaining 10 be set

plurality by which the entire ticket

can scarcely be less than 10000, anu
may be larger than that.
Van Wyck has polled a vote whicn
falls possibly 10000 under the COM
baned votes Of Tracy tRep) and Low
(Citizens Union). The latter was sue
eessful to the extent of polling an ag-
gregate vote in excess OF the 10000
pledged, implied by the signatures OF
the petition upon which he became a
candidate of an independent govern
n1ent, which at the outset offered 10

The total number of votes cast was
not far either way from half mill
ion. The indications are that Van
Wyck received 210,000, Low 14o,O0u,
Tracy 100000 and George 1000. The
aggregate is swelled by a few thou
sand votes cast for Gleason, independ-
ent Democrat; Danial, Socialist, and
Wardwell, Prohibitionist
On the city ticket with Judge Van
Wyck, Byrd S. Coler is elected Con-
troller and Randolph Guggenheim
President of the Municipal Council.
Charles S. Fairchild, who was Secre-
tary of the Treasury during Cleve

whom the Citizens Union put up for
Comptroller did not hold the pace with
Mr.. Low
Ashbel Fitch, originally Republican,
and afterwards a Democratic member
of Congress from a Tammany district
of this city, was the Republican nom
inee for Comptroller. He is defeated
by about the same vote as the head of
his ticket. He was nominated with
General Tracy in recognition of the ser
vices he rendered in the Presidential
campaign last year, fighting as a gold
standard Democrat against the Dem
ocrats who had accepted the 16 to l
platform of the Chicago Convention.
Coler, the successful candidate, is new
to public life.
Charles w. Dayton, the ex-Post-
master of this city, who was nominated
for Comptroller on the George ticket,
polled probably half as many votes
again as We're given to Mr.. George.
The legislative branch of the city
government is Tammany Democratic.
1t is a double-headed body, one branch
being the Municipal Council consist
ing of the President and twenty eight
members, and the other the Board Of
Aldermen, comprising sixty members.
The precise number of Democrats chos-
en- cannot be stated at the present
writing. There appears to be a strong
probability that the Democrats have
won a majority of the country and bor-
ough offices, along with the municipal
places.

Fusionists Garry the State by a
Large Plurality.

LINCOLN (Neb.), Nov. 2.-Nebraska
to-day renewed her allegiance to fu
sion by electing the three candidates
on that ticket by pluralities ranging
from 10000 to 25,000. Nothing like
complete returns have been received
or will be received tonight. but enough
are in TO measure the result and indi-
cate a greater fusion victory than n
the Presidential year.
From fusion headquarters the follow
ing was given out: 1--WE have carried
Nebraska for the fusion ticket from
10000 tc 10000 plurality. With the
magnificent victory of the State ticket
we have carried a majority of the
county tickets. The causes leading to
the result is a determination on the

Vote in Kentucky Close.

Elections for State and municipal Of
fcers took place yesterday in New
York, Ohio, Massachusetts, Kentucky,
Maryland, Nebraska, Kansas, Penn
sylvania, South Dakota, Iowa, Virginia,
Colorado and Rhode Island.
Interest, perhaps, was most generally
centered in the city election in New York
City and the State election in Ohio.
In New York City Tammany made a
sweeping victory, electing Van Wyck
by plurality of over $4,000 votes. The
Democrats also carried the State for
Justice of the Court of Appeals by a
large majority.
In Ohio the result at a late hour was
in doubt, both Democrats and Republi-
cans claiming the State ticket and the
Legislature. Indications, however, were
favorable to the reelection of Bushnell
CR.) for Governor by a small plurality,
which official figures Will probably be
required to settle the Legislatures COM
rlexion.
Massachusetts went Overwhelmingly
Republican, but a reduced majority
over the last election.
In Kentucky the result is close, with
probable Democratic success.
Maryland probably elects a Demo-
cratic Legislature, insuring the return
of German to the Senate.
Nebraska stays with the silver cause,
the State being carried by the Fusion
lists by a good plurality.
The Republican majority in Pennsyl-
vania is estimated at 145, 900.
Though Iowa still stays in the Re
publican column, the Democratic gains
are estimated at over forty thousand
in the State.
In Colorado the vote for Supreme
Judge is close, both he silver Repub-
licans and fusionists claiming victory.
Late returns are favorable to the lat
ter.
Rhode Island and Kansas voted only
for municipal officers and District
Judges.
Virginia voted for State and legisla-
tive officers, the Democrats sweeping
everything in sight.

various States according tot he latest

At 1:3o a. m. 124 precincts outside

DENVER. Nov. 2.-The election in
this city passed off in the quietest man
ner imaginable, with hardly an arrest
and very little challenging. The vote
was but little over half that cast last
year. Returns received from the city

REEDER ON A FOUL,

There was twenty-five dollars worth
of boxing for one dollar for the happy
sports at the Metropolitan club last
night. Jerry Marshall, OF Australia,
well known about this city, and Jimmy
Reeder from Altoona, Pa, were billed
for twenty rounds, and Patsy Gavin as
referee, but Marshall fouled his man In
the middle OF the ninth round.
The bout was pretty one from start
10 foul, everything being even with the
exception that Marshall got In the larger
number OF blows. The blows were land
ed on Reeders face and neck, but they
we're OF small account, as Reeder can
take hard punishment In that direction
and demonstrated that Marshall had
hard proposition on that line of battle.
Marshall did all the rushing, while
R9eder did more scientific work and
aimed for body blows, which were eff
iective, and, II followed up, he would
probably have got his man.
Marshall proved himself 10 be very
hard man, and would make himself a
formidable foe 10 most boxers or his
class There were several fouls made
on the part OF Marshall during the sew
Gnth, eighth and ninth rounds, but the
most glaring one was that Of the ninth,
when Marshall rushed his man to the
ropes, and they clinched, Marshall hold
ing his man by the throat and giving
him several blows below the belt and
one In the face. OF course this was con-
trary TO the rules OF the club, and In
structlons were so given the contest
ants at the ring side, This OF course,
wound up the mill In favor Of Reeder.
The rounds are as follows:
First round-BOth lead and q cllnch.
The start was lively, but too much
clInching. Marshall landed hot one
IN the face Rceder landed mean one,
and then the round ended.
Second round-Marshall forces Reed

Reeder lands hot one on the right Jaw
Another clinch, and then Marshall lands
q heavy one.
Third round-Marshal lands heavily

clInch and a cry of foul. Too much

landing heavily and often.
