mittee. comedies the reelection of Gov
ernor Pingree by a plurality of perhaps
$4,000 The Democratic committee is
much perplexed TO account as to where

sort OF opposition he ran particularly
well. Chairman Campau declined TO
make formal statement on the re-
suits until the causes become more evil
dent.

of the Republican state committee. gave
the following statement to the Asso-
ciated Press: The official count will

has been elected governor of this state
by a plurality anywhere from $4,000 to

ciates on the Republican state ticket
are probaly elected with him. The re-
turns both from Greater New York and
from the counties outside of this mu-
nicipality are incomplete, but enough
have been received to indicate a heavy
falling off in the vote UP the state,
while that in the city was we'll sus

in the Republican plurality in the state

pears to be a loss of four Republican
congressman in the Brooklyn districts.
Congressman Quigg. who had a majority
OF about 5000 at the election last year,
has been defeated by William Astor
Chanler. There is a total Democratic
gain Of seven congressman.
Standing of the Legislature.
Enough returns from assembly dis
tricts have been received to show the
probable election of eighty Republicans
and sixty-one Democrats, with nine
districts doubtful or not heard from.
Conceding all the latter to the Demo-
Gratis, the Republicans will still have
a majority of ten in the assembly and
fourteen on joint ballot. This computa-
tion. if borne out by official returns,
will mean the election of a Republican
to the United States senate in place of
Edward Murphy. Jr., Democrat. The
state senate will probably stand TWEEN
ty-seven Republicans and twenty-three
Democrats. The last senate contained
thirty-five Republicans, fourteen Demo-
lcrats and one independent.

"Ohio has given a plurality to the Re

congressman, who will support the mag

state committee, in conceding the state
said the result was due to the admins
