IbSutOo, NOV. U.-NctuyNb % Iut EO'
ceived indicate that the Republicans
have carried the state by about 10000
plurality, although there was NO direct
vote ON q state ticket. The Republic
cans will control both houses Of the
legislature by good working majori-
ties, ard will have an increased repre-
sentation In the house Of assembly.
The Republicans have elected sena-
tors In Camden, Gloucester, Somerset,
Union and Essex, and probably In
Salem and Monmouth. Tho Democrats
have elected but one senator. in War
rem.
The senate will stand IA Republi-
cans to Democrats. The Democrats
lost three assemblymen In Middlesex
and one in Salem, and the next assem-
bly, will be composed Of Al Republicans
and 10 Democrats. as against 81 Re-
publlcans and 20 Democrats last year.
The result In Monmouth is very close,
have elected Francis senator, and that
the Democrats have elected assembly,
men and county officers.
The Republicans carried Cumberland
for the assembly, but the Democrats
elected the county clerk and sheriff.
The Republicans carried their entire
ticket in Middlesex and Union coun-
ties.
The Republicans made a clean
sweep In Passaic county, elscting four
assemblymen and the two coroners.
The assemblymen got about $500.
The Republicans carry Union coun-
ty by about 1900 for senator and as
sembly. William Howard (Rep.), for
county clerk, ran behind his ticket
by about 800. but is safe. Robert G.
Houston (Rep.), for sheriff, Is elected
by about 1000.
Sussex county went Democratic,
electing Elvin z. Smith, the retiring
member. to the assembly for another
term. John M. Hotalen (Dem) was
elected sheriff.
The result Of Yesterdays election
greatly improves the chances Of Uni
ted States Senator William J. Sewell
to succeed himself in the senate. The
senate will remain Republican for two
years more. as next year the senator's
9 retiring are all Democrats except one,
who 10 from county almost certainly
Republican, SO the Democrats cannot
make any gain, and In the senatorial
elections next year they will have ev--
erything to lose and nothing to gain.
Yesterdays elections for assembly,
men are taken here to indicate that
the Republicans cannot lose next year.
The appointment Of Republicans for
state treasurer and other state Of
ficers this winter Is assured.
Massachusetts epublican Plurality,
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
jority. there being few changes in
either branch. The total vote for gov
ernor. with one town missing, was as
follows w. Murray Crane, Republic
can, 16S,S46; Robert Treat Paine, Jr.,
Democrat, 103,S12. The senate of 1900
will stand practically the same, 80 Re-
publicans and Democrats, while the
house will have about 165 Republicans
and 68 Democrats, with the balance d.
vided among the Socialists and Prohi-
bitionists. While the Socialists lost a
representative In Haverhill, their can
didate for governor led the Democratic
nominee In that city, and In other parts
of the state the Socialists doctrine was
given some endorsement
virginia Overwhelmi nRly Democratic
Richmond, Nov. 8.-Returns thus
far received show that both branches
of the legislature will be overwhelm-
ingIy Democratic. The vote was ex-
ceedingly light, the only contests be-
ing between Democrats and Independ-
ents and the warmest of these fights
was in the Isle of Wight senatorial
district, where the Democrats lost.
Another warm fight was in Shenan-
doah county for the house, the Inde-
pendent candidate winning there also.
Seven anti-Democrats are elected to
the legislature.
