In the Hnwkcyc state.

of 10000 and majority of over $4,000, the
largest majority ever given governor in
Iowa Carpenter in 1881 obtained 41,O00
majority, which has been the record till
this year. Governor Shaw was asked to-
day what he Thought of the election re-
turns. The following is his reply
Every republican in the United States
is glad today and most of them are and
all ought to be thankful Our national
policy, mapped out in the treaty OF peace
with Spain, ratified by a two-thirds non
partisan vote of the United States senate,
strengthened by the enactment of the army
bill for the express purpose of pacihcation
and splendidly executed by President Nc
Knley. has now been endorsed by the people.
The election in Nebraska insures the re-
nomination for president OF w. J. Bryan, for
which republicans should also be glad and
thankful"
Chairman Huffman of the democratic state
committee and Charles Walsh, who has
assisted in the conduct of the campaign
and who acted as secretary OF the democratic
national committee had little to say con-
cerning the causes. Chairman Huffman said:
I'VE attribute the victory Of the repub-
! licans to the senatorial fight between Cum
Minis and Gear and to the use Of amounts
OF money in various districts"
Secretary Walsh said:
II attribute the result to the voters. or
course, the United States senatorial question
cut big figure and the republicans used
lots Of money. Where there was hight
on between Cummins and Gear there was
| a large republican vote and 1t Knocked our
calculations all to pieces
| The claim that the Fifty first Iowa when
/ II returned would rebuke both President
Mckinley and Governor Shaw was illus
trated at Glenwood and several other places
where the members of the companies went
in a body to the polls in uniform demo-
Gratis and republicans, and voted the solid
straight republican ticket.
The first estimate of 115 republicans in the
legislature has proved too low. There will
! ba eighty-three republicans in the house
and thirty five in the senate, vote OF llS
on joint ballot. ----"-~.--' '
