THE SPRING ELECTIONS.


Republicans Carry Their State Ticket In
acknowledgements Carry Detroit and
Cincinnati for Municipal Oficers-A Re-
publican Victory in Cleveland.
DETROIT, April 6.-William c. May
bury (dem.) was elected mayor yester-
day by about 800 majority over Capt.
Albert E. Stewart rep.). In view of
May bury's victory it is surprising that
Judge John Miner, democratic candi-
date for police justice, was defeated by
Judge Albert F. Sellers, republican,
who was reelected by majority fully
equal to that received by Maybury.
Mayburys election is looked up as
decided defeat for Gov. Pingree, who
practically named Capt. Stewart as his
successor as mayor after the courts
had overruled the governors conten-
tion that he could hold both the office
of governor and mayor.
City republicans are preparing to
contest the election. They charge that
avoting machine used in one precinct
disfranchised lot of voters and that
some Polish votes were bought by
democrats.
Midnight estimates based on returns
thus far received from the state give
Long rep upwards of 10000 plurality
for supreme court justice. The repub-
lican candidates for regents of the
university are elected by probably
somewhat lesser pluralities, as Judge
Long ran ahead of his ticket generally
McKinley's majority in Michigan was
about $4,000, Pingree's for governor
was 10000 greater Yesterdays vote
was light at most points and while
many free silver gains are noted in the
smaller cities there were few slumps
favorable to the republicans.
CINCINNATI, April 6.-The elect ion in
Cincinnati yesterday was for mayor
and other city officers and member of
the board of legislation. The repub-
lican ticket was headed by Levi G..
Goodale for mayor and the democratic
ticket by Gustav Tafel, the latter being
elected by plurality of 1890, while
the city gave Mckinley plurality of
almost 20, 900 last November and Cald-
we'll rep for mayor three years ago a
plurality of 6,755. The democratic
ticket had three republicans on it for
city auditor, treasurer and corporation
counsel, but under the recently enacted
Dana law it could not be called fusion
or independent ticket.
The ticket headed by Gust,v Tafel
was victorious aout, thy lowest
plurality being = !, ole of the republi.
cans, E. o. Eshi BY, for city treasurer,
who received only 300 plurality and
against whom fight was made on
account of the construction of new
water works and for other local rea
sons. There was total vote of over
$4,000, T compared with $4,000 last
November, being an unusually large
vote for a local election. The issue here
was on George B. Cox, who has beer
recognized as boss in the city anC
county politics for years and as a con
trolling factor in state politics. The
ticket headed by Goodale was named
by Cox and the issue was made against
it as Cox ticket. The democratic
gains were made in republican wards
CLEVELAND, April 6.-Robert E. Nc
Kisson (rep.) was reelected mayor o
this city yesterday, defeating Johr
Farley (dem.) by plurality of nearly

: was polled

ity. Total vote 24,6O7, about 5000 les
than registration. Last fall the city
