The SPRING ELECTIONS.


Republicans Carry Their State Ticket IN
acknowledgements Carry Detroit and
Cincinnati for Municipal Onicers-A Re-
publican Victory In Cleveland.
DETROIT, April 6.-William' @. May
bury dem was elected mayor yester-
lay by about 900 majority over Capt.
Albert e. Stewart (rep.). In view Of
Maybury'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 May bury.
Maybury's election is looked up as a
| decided defeat for Gov. Pingree, who
practically named Capt Stewart as his
successor as mayor after the courts
had overruled the governors conten-
ton that he could hold both the office
of governor and mayor
City republicans are preparing to
contest the election. They charge that
voting 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 20, 600 plurality
for supreme court justice The repub-
lican candidates for regents of the
university are elected by probably
sons what 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 election in
Cincinnati yesterday was for mayor
and other city officers and members of
the board of legislation. The repub-
lican ticket was headed by Levi c.
| 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 90, 900 last November and Cald-
well (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 Gustav Tafel
was victorious throughout, the lowest
plurality being for one of the republi-
cans, e. o. Eshelby, for city treasurer,
who received only 800 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, as compared with $4,000 last
| November, being an unusually large
vote for local election. The issue here
was on George b. Cox, who has been
recognized as boss in the city and
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
1t as Cox ticket. The democratic
gains were made in republican wards
CLEVELAND, April 6.-Robert E. Nc
Kisson (rep.) was reelected mayor of
this city yesterday, defeating John
Farley (dem.) by plurality of nearly
5000. The entire republican ticket was
elected by large majorities. McKisson
ran behind his ticket. A light vote
was polled.
COLUMBUS, April 6.-For mayor, Sam
uel d. Black (dem.) was elected over
Emmett Tompllins (rep.) by 427 plural
ity. Total vote 24,6O7, about 5000 less
than registration. Last fall the city
gave Mckinley 3,100 plurality.
