Toledo, Nov. 8.--Mayor Jones said
today: 1.-The result of the election is
extremely gratifying to me, as it must
be to every lover of liberty. The vote
for the non-partisan idea is large
enough to justify the claim that the
cause has won the greatest victory
ever recorded in the political history
of the state. / believe the moral force
will lead the legislature to pass the
municipal code commission bill, which
provides that every municipal officer
in Ohio shall be elected by the nom
partisan plan. doing away entirely
with political parties in all our cities. %

have made heavy gains in most all Of

Republicans have carried the city Of
louisville by from 5000 to 5000 ma

Democrats Make some Gains In the
h Election OF LEGISLATORS
Boston, Nov. S.-The Republicans
carried Massachusetts, yesterday by
$4,000 votes, electing w. Murray Crane
governor. The entire Republican state
ticket was elected by practically the
same plurality as the head of the ticket.
and the legislature of 1900 will also
be Republican by the usual large ma
jorfty, there being few changes in
either branch. The total vote for gov
ernor. with one town missing. was as
follows: w: Murray Crane. Republi-
can, 16S. S46; Robert Treat Paine. Jr..
Democrat. 10S.S12. The senate OF 1900
will stand 81 Republicans to 9 Demo-
Gratis, and the house 166 Republicans.
20 Democrats. Socialists and indie
pendents- This shows a loss Of two
Republican senators and three Repub-
lican representatives. In addition to
the three Republican places the Demo-
Gratis this year also have filed two
seats held by Independents last year.
The Socialists lost a representative in
Haverhill, but member OF that party
was chosen from the Fourth Plymouth
district. thereby giving them the same
quota as last year. The Socialists at
HaverhiIl made up for their loss by
giving their candidate for governor a
greater vote than that received by the
Democratic nominees In other parts
of the state the Socialist doctrine was
given some Endorsement
Tie expansion question apparently
played little part in the election, and
Senator Herbert c. Parsons, of Green
field, where the question was an Issue
before the people. was defeated. Mr.
Parsons ran Independently, and was
assisted in his campaign by a number
of anti-expansionists from this city.

Republican Gains in Kansas.

Topeka, Nov. S--Very meagre re-
turns indicate Republican gains in the
county elections held over Kansas yes

politicians that the Republican gain
will reach 10 per cent. In Shawnee
county the whole Republican ticket is
elected by a gain of 20 per cent. over
last year. A very light vote was polled
all over the state. In 1896 the Fusion
lists carried so out of 100 counties. Last
year the Republicans carried 81 coun-
ties out of the 105.

Buffalo, Nov. S.-The Standard vot-

terday for the first time, and accom-
plIshed all that was expected of it.
The result in the city was known IS
minutes after the polls were closed,
on the head of the ticket, which was
computed first. The Republicans made
a clean sweep, electing city treasurer
and other city officers by majorities
ranging from 1000 to 5000. The Re-
publicans also elect their entire coun-
cilmanic ticket, giving them seven
members and the Democrats two. They
also elect IS of the 25 aldermen. In
the county Thomas Penny (Rep), for
district attorney, is elected by about
10000 plurality, and John w. Men,
for county auditor, by 1000.

STOCKS AND noNns.

New York, Nov 2S.-The furry IN call
money in the last half hour to-day induc-
ed a selling movement which carried
prices in a majority Of the list below last
night. Stocks which had advanced strong
~ suffered from proft-taking and their
gains were much reduced where they
were not entirely wiped out.
The market was spotty and irregular
throughout, and the maintenance Of the
price level was due rather to a cessation
OF yesterdays factors of weakness than TO
any elements Of positive strength Lon
don. which was a heavy seller yesterday,
was inclined to buy to-day ON the new
account succeeding the settlement. The
large profit-taking in Baltimore and Ohio
stocks was so far digested that those
stocks resumed their advance. United
States Leather, by comparison with recent
performances, displayed a stable equili-
brium, and the increase In the dividend
rate on the preferred stock did not move
II over a fraction. Yesterdays aggression
upon Sugar was also discontinued and the
stock was strong for the greater part OF
the day. When these conditions were de-
veloped an attempt was made to inaugu-
rate bull campaign in the iron and steel
stocks. but II proved abortive. The move
ment In the Baltimore and Ohio stocks.
Pennsylvania and New York Central was
the most conspicuous movement of the
day and did more than anything else to
sustain prices. Chesapeake ana ONO also
rose about its previous high level.
There were notable advances in a num-
Der of obscure stocks, including Peoria.
Decatur and Evansville, Duluth. South
Shore and Atlantic. the Buffalo. Rochester
and Pittsburg stocks and some of the
minor industrials. Manhattan lost all its
gain before the close. Enthusiasm over
Saturdays strong bank statement was
much diminished by the discovery that
the whole strength of the showing was due
TO the operations of one bank. The re-
newaI of apprehension over the money
outlook was emphasized by several devel-
opments There were renewed shipments
OF currency to New Orleans through de-
poslts for transfer at the sub-treasury and
New York exchange at Chicago weakened
suddenly TO % cents discount compared
with par yesterday.
The operations OF the sub-treasury yes
terday with the banks resulted In a gain
by that institution of 100000 in spite OF
the government bond redemptions. Yes
terday's receipts Of revenue by the United
States treasury exceeded expenditures by
s.. t54.097, more than offsetting the total OF

the prospect Of an advance in the Bank Of

hension that London would want money

Jacksonville Gail: From all accounts,
the game law enacted by the last legisla-
ture has already been tried and found
wanting; and the indications now are thar
at the next legislative session the act will
go the way of It's innumeraole and ineftec-
tive predecessors. The most conspicuous
feature of the new law is the provision
requiring the sportsman from another state
10 pay $40 for the privilege of hunting
in any given county. Now there are forty
five counties in Florida, and as many of
the points most in favor with our North
ern tourists are near the county line II
is not al all difficult to see how a party Of
so required by law in the county in which
they were temporarily residing, might cas-
lily wander over into an adjoining county
with dogs and guns, and unconscious OF
all evil, suddenly find themselves amenable
to the law. In our opinion such a license,
once paid for shsuld@ enable its possessor
to shoot in any county in the state; and
We fear that the ultimate operation of
the law will be TO diminish rather than
to Increase, the public revenue; and that
the indirect loss will, by forcing Northern
tourists out of Florida altogether, be still
greater. The sportsmen are few and far
between who would pay $50, for instance,
for the privilege of shooting quail in five
counties of the state; and we are of the
opinion that when the provisions of this
law are fully understood, the necessity for
its modification or repeal will become fully
apparent.
