from the state indicate the reelection
of Judge Charles d. Long, Republican
as justice of the supreme court and the
defeat of George L. Yople, fusion cant
dldate. Charles D. Long and William
j. Cocker, Republican candidate for
regents Of the University of Michigan,
are also elected. The vote was light
ana the free silver sentiment was
SHOWN in several of the cities more
strongly than in the November election.
This appears to have been especially
true in the southern tier of counties.
In few cases, Republican majorities
Of last fall were turned into fusion vic
tories. AS usual, the result as to local
officers is considerably split up politi-
cally.
William G. Maybury Oem1 was
elected mayor of this city by about
1000 majority over Capt Albert E.
Stewart (Rep.). In view Of Mr.. May
bury's victory it is considered surpris-
ing that Judge John Miner, Democratic
candidate for police justice, was de-
feated by Judge Albert F. Sellers (RepE,
who was elected by a majority fully
equal to that received by Maybury.
Maybury's election is looked upon as
a decided defeat for Gov Pingree.
who practically named Capt. Stewart
as his successor as mayor after the
court had overruled the governors con-
tention that he could hold both the
oti1ces OF governor and mayor.
AS the official count proceed, May
bury s supposed majority decreased. AT
midnight with seven precintS yet to
hear from, Maybury's lead amounted
to but 400. Sellers, Rep9 for police
justice, has a majority which win APP
proximate 1000.
Midnight estimates based on returns
thus far received from the state, give
Long upwards of 10000 plurality fo1
supreme court justice. The Republican
candidates for regents of the uniVer-
sity, are elected by probably somewhat
lesser pluralities, as Judge Long ran
ahead of his ticket generally. McKin-
ley's majority in Michigan, was about
$4,000, Pingree's, for governor, was
10000 greater. TOdays vote was light
at most points, and while many free
silver gains are noted in the smaller
cities, there were a few slumps favor
able to the Republicans.
With returns from two precincts,
which will not be canvassed until to-
morrow, still to come, Maybury has 600
majority; Sellers about l. 100. A mistake
in the delivery of these returns ac-
counts for their delay and they will be
held by the police until tomorrow.
City Republicans are preparing to
contest today's election. They charge
that voting machine used in one pre-
cinct disfranchised a lot of voters, and
that some Polish votes were bought
by Democrats
