The elections in various States, Tues
day last, were fully as satisfactory to
Republican as anticipated.
Ohio was the State ia which the con-
test was waged most energetically and
the policy of the Republican administra.
ton was most fiereely assaulted. There
were three nominees for governor Nash
the Republican, Mclean, the Demo-
cratic, and Jones known as the Golden
Rule candidate. Nash appears to have
about $4,000 plurality, and the legisla-
ture will be Republican by an increased
majority.
The State of Kentucky elects w. s
Taylor, the Republican candidate for
governor. by lead of $4,000 or MORE
Ofacourse there was no question about
Massachusetts. Crane WAS elected by
$4,000, but Paine carried Boston by
6,l96, which was not unexpected.
In New York, Republicans will have
about the same majority in the next as.
sembly az in the last one. Democrats
showigains in New York city but losses
enough to offset this in other cities such
as Buffalo, Troy, Albany, etc.
Republicans carry New Jersey by
20 900 plurality. Republicans will have
good working maiorities in both
branches in the legislature.
The.Republican gain is estimated to
be about 10 per cent in Kansas.
Fusionists won in Nebraska, and sus-
tain Bryan by a lead of H. 900 or more.
Maryland has returned To the Demo-
cratic fold, electing John Walter Smith,
governor by $1,000 or thereabouts.
Pennsylvania gives its usual old time
majority for Republican nominees for
State officers.
There was very little contest in Vir-
ginia. Democrats had about everything
their own way. Both houses of the
legislature will be overwhelmingly
| Democratic.
Mississippi, as matter of course,
goes strongly Democratic.
Iowa elects Republican legislature in
both branches by large majority.
South Dakota shows Republican
gains.

Elsewhere we give, this week. an
epltome of the report of the Philippine
commission as it will be pres ented to
Congress. Admiral Dewey signed this
report and it is very plainly set forth
that no promise of independence was
made by him at any time. Agninaldo
had no standing in Luzon before Dewey
gained his great victory. Indeed he
was not there but in India. This report
shows very plainly that Agninaldo
forced war upon the United States in
stead of the United States forcing it
upon Aguinaldo. There was no breach
Of faith on the part of the United States
With the rebel leader, but there was
gross treachery on his part. The report
worthy of careful perusal.
