New York.

NHr'" x0xKs
Col. Roosevelt, Republican, is elected
Governor Of New York by about 10000
plurality. The Democrats carried eleven
counties as against only one two years
ago, and Greater New York gave Van
Wyck 5000 majority. As compared
with the election Of 1896, when Black de-
feated Porter, this shows a Republican
loss Of from 10000 to $4,000. Roose-
welt came to the Harlem river with 1885,
600 plurality, and Van Wyck had but 49,
600 in Greater New York with which to
meet It. The vote outside the city shows
that Roosevelt lost 61,O00 as compared
with Black. In the city his vote was 61,-
600 smaller than Blacks. In the country
districts Van Wyck ran about 10000 and
in the city about $4,000 ahead Of Porter.
Michigan.
The next congressional delegation from
Michigan will be Republican, Congress-
men Todd and Brucker, Democrats, be-
ing succeeded by Washington Gardner
and j. w. Fordney. Gov. Pingree has
been reelected by a plurality Of 10000.
The vote throughout the State was light,
and, although the Governor was badly cut
at many points, his Democratic friends
rallied to his support with more than
enough votes to Offset the Republican de-
lection. OF the thirty-two State Senators
the Democrats elected FIVE and possibly
six. In the House they will have FIVE
votes, while eight others IRE in doubt. The
Republicans will have a majority Of
eighty-seven and a majority on joint bal
lot Of 1O4.
Iowa.
Iowa voters elected the Republican can
didates in the eleven congressional dis
tricts Of the State, the safe ones by sweep
ing and almost ~unlooked-for majorities,
and the few who had contests on their
hands by increased pluralities, except in
one district. Major John r. Lacey, men,
Der Of Congress, defeated Gen. James B.
Weaver by a plurality Of 1924, a gain of
80 over his plurality in 1896. The Sixth
district wal the central battle ground dur
ing the campaign. The Republican State
ticket will have about 10000 majority.
The falling off in the vote is about Is to
10 per cent as compared with 1896. Flu
sionists suffered from this cause.
Minnesota.
John Lind, silver Republican, with
Democratic and gold Populist indorse-
ment, who, a few years ago, as a Republic
can, represented a Minnesota district in
the national Congress, has a large plu-
rality in the State over Eustis, Rep. The
rest Of the Republican ticket has been
chosen. All seven Republican Congress-
men have been elected. The Legislature
will be Republican, but not by SO great a
majority as at first thought. Seventy
seven Republicans are known to have been
elected.
Nearly complete returns from about
eighty counties Of the ninety-two in In
diana emphasize the Republican victory
and indicate that the majority on the
State ticket will be in the neighborhood of
$4,000, that the Republicans have carried
eight certainly and possibly nine out of
the thirteen congressional districts, and
have elected a majority in both branches
Of the General Assembly and will control
that body on joint ballot by from twenty
to twenty-five votes.
Kentucky.
The latest returns from the Ninth con-
grcssional district indicate that Mordecai
Williams, Democrat, Of Catlettsville, has
defeated the incumbent, Samuel Pugh,
Republican, Of Vanceburg, by a majority
Of about $50. This gives the Democrats
ten Of the eleven Congressman from Ken
lucky, a gain Of three Congressman for
the Democrats in the State. The Fifth,
Eighth and Ninth are the districts that
s~omersaulted into the Democratic camp.
Ohio,
The election returns received Wednes-
day bear out the regular Republican gain
Of 8 per cent. From the rate of gains it
is clear that the plurality for Kinney,
! Rep, for Secretary Of State, will be over
$1,000. The bitter fight made ON personal
grounds against j. q. Blackburn, Repub-
lican candidate for Food Commissioner,
shows in the returns from the country, es-
pecially in the butter-making districts Of
the Western Reserve.
The Republicans made a sweep in Kan
sas, electing seven Of the eight Congress
men. This is q gain Of five Republican
Congressman. The Republican State
ticket is elected by from 6,O00 to 10000
majority. Before the farmers were heard
from, Republicans conceded victory to the
fusionists. Leaders Of both parties are
unable to account for the heavy Republi-
can gains throughout the agricultural dis.
tricts.
North Dakota.
Late returns from over the State have
swelled the Republican majority. Spald-
ing, Republican nominee for Governor,
gets the largest vote. Returns show that
twenty-one out Of t~hirty-one Senators are
Republican, while in the House ffty-four
Republicans Of sixty-two have been elect
ed. This gives the Republicans ffty-six
majority on joint ballot.
Colorado.

by Charles 8. Thomas, Dem, for Gov.
