Senatorship, From Tone of

DETROIT, May 1.--Secretary Alger,
being asked whether he will be a candi-
date before the next Michigan legis-
lature for United States senator to sue
ceed Senator Mcmillan, replied:
II will say frankly that 1 did think
that if the state should see fit to send

FRAUD ALLEGED.
Claimed That Illegal Votes Were Cast for
Stewart.


New York, Nov. s-The Herald says:
While the republicans admitted that
Perez M. Stewart had received the
greatest number of votes in the Nine
tenth assembly district, they unani-
mously declared that Robert Mazet
would again occupy his seat in the
assembly. Stewards plurality is less
than the number of alleged fraudulent
votes cast in the district for the Tam
many hall ticket. 1t was announced
that Mr.. Mazet would make contest
and there was ample evidence to jus
tify republican legislature in throw
ing out more than 400 votes which
were cast against him. The report
spread through the district last night
before the figures became known. The
fight had been so bitter that the small
plurality was held to be insufficient
to seat Stewart. Charges of bribery
were freely made on each side. re-
port was taken to the republican head
quarters that Is men who had gone
to the Thirty-Fourth election district
intending to vote for MaZet found that
Tammany men had cast ballots in their
names. This was said to have been
one of the many fragrant frauds.
1T is surprise that we were not
defeated by 1000 or more" said Col
lector Bidweil. "Mazet's defeat is due
to illegal voting, illegal registration
and to every fraud in the calendar
Mr.. Quigg made these comments:
1.-THE strange feature of the fight is
that in the democratic districts Ste
wart has run behind, while in repub-
lican districts Mazet has run behind
him. Mazet's losses were heavier. My
present estimate is that thes total vote
of the citizens union in the assembly
district was about ESQ There were at
least 400 fraudulent Tammany votes
cast. The intention had been to have
1000 votes, but we managed to pre-
vent about 800"
Does Mr.. Mazet assert that he has
been beaten by fraud?" l asked.
Il assert it," was the reply.

Democrats Elect Their Ticket in Mary

Baltimore. Nov. s.-Unofficial returns
from Baltimore city and all the coun-
ties of the state show that the demo-
Gratis swept practically everything be-
fore them in yesterdays contest. John
Walter Smith. DR.. Joshua Herring and
Isidor Raynor, the democratic candi-
dates for governor. comptroller and at
torney general, respectively, were elect
ed over the republican candidates by
approximately 1900 majority. The
official count it is thought will not ma
terially change these figures. They
elected II state senators for four-year
terms, which, with their four followers
will give them 15 out of total mem
bership of 26 in the upper house of the
general assembly. In the lower house.
composed of 81 members, the demo-
Gratis elected 66. while the republicans
will have only % delegates in the legs-
lature to meet in January of next year
Many theories have been advanced
as to the cause of the democratic land
slide, but careful analysis shows that
the democratic independent voters
supported Colonel Smith, while many
disgruntled republicans either remained
away from the polls or cast their ball
lot for the democratic candidates.

UNOFFICIAL FIGURES.
They Give Nash Plurality of 10000
Over Mclean.


Over Mclean.
Columbus. Ohio. Nov. S.-The sta tisti-
clans at the republican headquarters
have been busy all day and night en-
devoring to secure some accurate figure
on the plurality of Judge Nash. the re-
publican candidate for governor, and
tonight an unofficial table of plurali-
ties by counties was completed. This
shows that in 81 counties Nash has
81 1893 over Mclean, and in 81 counties
Mclean has 34,035 over Nash. This
gives Nash over Mclean in the state,
50,364. 1t is not believed that the CT
fetal returns will make any important
change in these figures. No figures ara
available on the total vote in the state,
as the committee sought to obtain only
pluralities. Notwithstanding that eff
forts We're made to get the vote for
Jones, returns have been secured from
only 40 Of the IS countieR. This in
cludes the counties in which the heav-
lest Jones vote was polled and shows

Shaw Receives Majority Over All of
$4,000.


Des Moines, Iowa, Nov S.--Returns
from 80 of the 90 counties of the state,
with estimates on the others, show that
the republican claim of $4,000 plurality
for Governor Shaw is easily maintained.
His majority over all candidates for
governor is estimated at $4,000, which
is the largest in the history Of the state
on the gubernatorial vote. Based on
the vote of 1898. the vote this ysar
shows an increase of about per cent
for the republicans and 10 per cent for
the democrats. which make the entire
republican vote in the neighborhood of
100000 and the total democratic vote
10000. But this is falling off from
the vote of. 1897 of about 6 and 10 per
cent respectively. The legislature will
stand:
senate-Republicans IS; democrats.
Is. House-republicans "a; demo-
Gratis. Ii.
This is gain of II votes on joint
ballot for the republicans. Both the
Gear and Cummns forces claim ma
jority of the republican votes for the
