teen To- the Precinct

Returns Give Republican Gain of Thir-
teen to the Precinct.
] Des Moines, Ia, Nov. Sat 80 this
morning, CSC precincts of the 2,OS2 in
the state give Shaw Rep.) for COVER
nor, 81 SOB; White Dem.), g. $50. The
same precincts two years ago gave
Shaw S6,565; White, 1882. This is q
net Republican gain of 1888, or about
IA to the precinct. The same ratio, it
kept up for the state, will give a Re-
publican plurality of about 10000.
There are a few Republican gains in
the legislature and the indications are
the Republicans will have 10 of the
$50 members.
Many of the precincts heard from
are in Democratic districts, and it is
very likely that the ratio of gain will
be increased by subsequent returns
rather than decreased. In some places
where the opposition to the admins
tratiOn expected to show real force
and to carry the day by large maJOrl-
ty they have been disappointed. The
indications are that the Republican total
vote will show decrease Of per cent.
from two years ago and that the
Democratic total vote will show loss
of about 10 per cent.
The probabilities are that there will
be 80 Republican members in the
house and So Republican members in
the senate, net Republican gain of
10. 1t seems that this strength is GER
tain, and it is probable that it will be
increased when all the returns are in.
Chairman Hoffman, of the Demo
cratic state central committee, con-
cedes the state by 10000, while the
Republican state chairman claims that
it will 90 $4,000 or better. There is no
discussion here Of the reasons for the
changes in the votes.
REPUBLICANS HOLD THEIR OWN.
Retain the Legislature in New York While
Mazet Is Beaten.
New York, Nov. S.-Secretary Fox,
of the Republican state committee,
said that the legislature would be sure
if there was not a Republican elected
in New York city. Up to that time
there had been reported gains of eight
districts up the state. Chairman Odell
said, after hearing the Republican fig
lican membership in the assembly now
figures up to about ninety. This eX-
ceeds my greatest expectations"
Tammany shows no citation over the
plurality of $4,000 for it's New York
county ticket, having expected it. The
rejoicing is over the defeat of Assem-
blyman Robert Mazet, Republican, by
Perez NJ. Stewart in the Nineteenth as
sembly district, which usually is
strongly Republican. DR.. Nelson H.
Henry, Republican, in the Fifth as
sembly district, against whom the
labor unions made fight, was re-
elected.
In the Thirty-fourth congressional
district e. B. Vreeland, Republican,
was elected by a majority of at least
10000.
The assembly stands Republicans,
81; Democrats, SO; Republican plurall-
ty, 80; Republican gain IA. The Re
publicans elected only four assembly
men in New York county and one OF
these is an anti-OrganiZation man. Inc
Tammany majority in New York coun-
ty is more than $4,000. At Tammany
hall Croker was more interested in
the returns from the Nineteenth dis
trict than anywhere else. He repeated
ly asked if Mazet was beaten beyond
q doubt. and kept constantly repeat
ing: "Well, Mazet is beaten; that's
consolation" Assemblyman Mazet took
his defeat very much to heart, but de-
clined to be interviewed.
The election in the four counties that
make up the city of New York resulted
in the election of every Democratic
candidate on every county ticket ex-
cept Gray, Democratic candidate for
register in Kings, who was beaten be-
cause of his refusal to put in an ap-
pearance before the Mazet Investigate
ing committee and answer charges
made against him.
Troy, N. Y, Nov. S.-After one Of
the hottest fights ever known here, in
which Ex-Governor Black led on one
side and ex-senator Edward Murphy
on the other, the city of Troy has gone
Republican by about 1000. Black and
Murphy personally conducted the con-
test, night and day, and the result is
the election of Blacks entire ticket
city, county and assembly. This is the
first time in thirty years that Troy has
gone Republican.
DEMOCRATS RECOVER MARYLAND.
Republicans There Are Beaten by Plu
rality of 10000.
Baltimore, Nov. S.-Returns from the
city of Baltimore and reports from the
state indicate that the Republicans of
