New York. Nov. ?. Tammany's
victory in the first municipal election in
Greater New York is a sweeping one
The only question remaining TO be set
lied at II O'Clock is the one ii the plu-
rality by which the entire ticket headed
1y Robert A. Van Wyck has carried the
gigantic municipality. 1t can scarcely
he less than 10000 and may be larger
.han that. Van Wyck has polled vote
which falls possibly 10000 under the
combined votes OF General Tracy, Re
publican, and Seth Low, Citizens
Union.
The indications are the Democrats
have a small majority OF the state as
Sembly. In the greater city il is eSti-
mated from very meager returns that
he representation will be 81 Democrats
and 10 Republicans. while in the upper
part OF the state there are said to have
been changes from Republicans to Dem
ocrats in 70 districts In the last as
sembly the Republicans had a majority
Of 7S. Conceding all that is claimed by
the Republicans the next house will have
10 Democratic majority. State senator's
were not elected this year. Other esti-
mates give a Republican majority in the
assembly OF 8.
Estimates OF the majority OF Parker
(Dem.) for chief Judge OF the court OF
appeals range all the way from $4,000
to $4,000.
Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 1.-The re-
suit in Ohio is so close that it may re-
quire the official count to determine the
result especially on the political COM
plcXion OF the legislature The Repub-
licanS and Democrats are both claiming
the state and the legislature with such
persistence that II will require the Off
cial count at last to get one or the other
to cQncede defeat. Incomplete returns
indicate the election of the Republican
state ticket by from 10000 TO $4,000, but
the result on the legislature is so close
that no definite figures can be given on
it tonight
The Democrats claim confidently a
majority in both branches of the legisla-
ture. but give no figures on the number
OF state senators and representatives
The Republicans claim 81 representa-
tivcS and II senators sure, or II votes
on join ballot, - being necessary 10 elect
a senator.
Nebraska.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 2.-Nebraska
today renewed her allegiance to fusion
by electing the three candidates on that
ticket by pluralities ranging from 10000
to $4,000. Nothing like complete re
turns have been received or will be re-
measure the result and indicate a greater
fusion victory than in the presidential
yea1.
Iowa Republican.
Des MoineS. Iowa, Nov. Re
turns from about one-fourth OF the 1904
precincts in the state show that the Re
publican plurality will be about 10000
These returns are from all parts OF the
state. including both city and country
precincts. and it is believed that the ratio
established thereby will be substantially
maintained. The ratio OF Democratic
gain has been at about g to a precinct
Tor nearly 500 precincts. That will give
the Democrats a net gain in the state
OF about 1900. The legislative ticket
returns are slow in coming in The best
estimates obtainable here give to the
senate 50 Republicans, II Democrats and
two districts in doubt OF the members
OF the house probably 6s out of 100
will be Republican. giving them a safe
working majority.
Maryland.
Baltimore. Nov 2-Thc Republicans
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 be-
lieveing that the Democrats have carried
the legislature and that United States
Senator German may succeed himself
Massachusetts,
Boston, Mass, Nov. corrected re-
turns from 348 cities and towns in the
state. including the complete vote OF
Boston, give Everett 1900; Williams
7o.I23; Wolcott I6I, 100. The same cities
and towns last year gave Prince I4,248;
Williams Io3,457; WOlcOtt 2S5767.
But five small towns aggregatng less
than 400 votes, are necessary to complete
the vote OF the state On the basis of
last year vote in these towns. the total
will be: Everett, I4o64: Williams. 90
no; Wolcott. Io+544. This gives
Wolcott plurality OF S5,358 and the
final figures will be within few votes
of this
South Dakota.
Sioux Falls. S. D., Nov. 2.-Indica-
tions are that the republicans have
won in South Dakota. Smith (rep) Is
elected Judge in the first district.
The republicans have elected Judges
