COLUMBUS, O, Nov. AT 80 the re-

Senator Hanna and Chairman Dick.

night said:
"The result of the election is crafty
ing to me, as it muet be TO every lover
of liberty The vote for the nonpartisan
idea is large enough TO justify the claim
that the cause mas won the greatest vic
tory in the political history of the state.
/ believe the moral force will lead the leg
islature to pass the municipal code. which
provides that every municipal officer in
Ohio shall be elected by the nonpartisan
plan and do away entirely with political
parties in all our cities Furthermore,
the vote for the nonpartisan idea will have
its influence in shaping national issues next
year. There will be more of morals in
the national platforms by reason of it. l
am thankful that the nonpartisan vote in
Ohio may be regarded as favoring Chris
tian policy toward the Philippines"

MASSACHUSETTS,.
Republicans Garry the State by $4,000
Majority, Elccting w. Murray
Crane Governor.

BOSTON Nov. THE republicans car
red Massachusetts today by $4,000 majority,
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 governor, with
one town missing, was as follows: W. MUIR
ray Crane (rep), 16S,S46; Robert Treat
Paine, jr., (dem), 1O3,1S2.
The senate OF 1900 will stand practically
the same, 33 republicans and z democrats,
while the house will have about 165 repub-
licans, 6S democrats. with the balance di-
vided among the socialists and prohibition
lists While the socialists lost a representa-
tive in HaverhilI, theiE candidate for gov
ernor led the democratic spominee in that
city, and in other parts of the state the
socialist doctrine was given some endorse
ment.
The expansion question apparently played
little part in the election and Senator Her.
bert C. Parsons of Greenfield. where the
question was an issue before the people, was
defeated. Mr.. Parsons ran independently
and was assisted in his campaign by num-
Der of anti-expansionists from this city.
The democrats mad no dlfnculty In carry
ing the city of Boston For the past three
years the city has endorsed the republican
candidate for governor, but this year Rob-
ert Treat Paine received plurality Of 6,915
over w. Murray Crane (rep) Paine's total
vote was 32,592 and Crane received 1886.
Last year Wolcott (rep) carried the city
by a plurality of 1887 over Bruce (dem.)
The decrease in the Crane vote is partly due
to the fact that he comes from the western
part of the state and did not have the local
popularity that Wolcott had.
The election passed off quietly, compar-
stively little interest being taken by the
republicans, while the democrats tried to
rally a big plurality to strengthen them
selves for the city election next month.
Robert Treat Paine, jr., when asked for
a statement on the results, said:
1.-THE returns are most gratifying, for
the campaign was conducted not as an
appeal for votes, but solely with the idea
Of awakening Massachusetts to stand by
its own principles The results are especially
gratifying when one looks back to the
opening of the campaign in September,
especially gratifying is the great majority in
Boston,"

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. Returns received
up to midnight indicate that the republican
gain over the state at large will average 10
per cent.
Cowley county is in the lead so far as
heard from, showing an average republican
gain of 400 over last year.
In Sedgwick county, of which Wichita Is
the principal town, the entire republican
ticket Is elected, except district Judge, Hale
(dem) who is reelected. There seems to
be no great gain or loss in Sedgwick
county.
In Leavenworth county the ticket is di-
vided. Everhart (dem) is elected sheriff by
400, defeating Captain Albright (repJ OF the
Twentieth Kansas regiment.
Atchison county is republican by a re-
duced majority. The fusionists elect one

The republicans elected the only two can
didates for state senator. They were John
Chaney OF Shawnee county and C. G. Nc
Carthy OF Jefferson county.

Reports Show Heavy Republican
Gains and the Election Of All
Three Judges.

PIERRE, S. D., Nov. 7-(Special Tele-
gram )-Reports which have come to private
parties here, and the claim of Chairman
Herreid, show heavy republican gains in all
precincts heard from. Latest reports would
indicate republican majority Of about 5000
on all three judges, although Fuller. on
whom the fusionists concentrate their fight,
is running slightly behind but not enough
to place him in danger. No reports have been
received here as to the claims Of the fusion
committee, but leading populists say they
expect defeat. They had hoped to carry
through Bennett, but the indifference Of the
voters leaves them behind on all their cand-
dates.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Nov. THE Argus
Leader. basing its estimate on reports thus
far received from points in South Dakota,
claims the election of the republican nomi-
nees for state supreme court by 10000 ma
jority. This is also the estimate of the ma
tional committeeman.
Partial reports from nearly every county
east Of the Missouri river show republican
gains, especially in the cities. Sioux Falls
gives republican gain of nearly 200 and
Aberdeen republican gain of 100 over last
year. Judge Fuller, on whom the fusion
forces concentrated their fire, Is running
some behind his ticket. but not enough to
defeat him. Returns so far indicate a repub-
lican majority of at least 500.
YANKTON, S. D., Nov. 7-(Special Tele-
egram.)-A little over half a vote was poled
today in the city and county election. Re-
turns are coming in very slowly. The city
with four outside precincts gives republican
supreme judges 100 majority. The Second
commissioner district, which includes two
Of the largest wards in the city, gives Nc
Gregor 100 majority over Wyman, repub-
lican. Yankton county will probably ge

lican two TO one. Deadwood gives Judge
Corson a majority of 272; Lead majority of

92 All the other towns in Pennington county
have gone republican by handsome majori-
tiee. Fall River and Custer counties went
solid for Corson. The vote was very light
PIERRE, s. d., Nov. 7.-Seven precincts
in Hughes county including the city and
Fort Pierre Stanley county, give Corson,
$40; Haney. 355; Fuller, S57; Smith. 1876;
Bennett, 147; Kennedy 1872. This city, with
lighter vote than last year, shows repub-
lican gains of 54. Country precincts show re-
publican gains.
Republicans Win at Mitchell.

tain Control of Both Houses
of the Legislature.

TRENTON, N. j., Nov. THE returns at
midnight indicate that the republicans have
carried the state by about 10000 plurality
although there was no direct vote on state
ticket The republicans will control both
houses OF the legislature by good working
malorltles and viii have an increased repre-
sentation IN the house OF assembly. The re-
puolleans have elected senators in Camden
Gloucester. Somerset, Union and Essex, and
probably in Salem and Monmouth. The dem
ocrats have elected but one senator, in War
ren. The senate will stand IA republicans TO
democrats. Tho democrats lost three as
sembymen in Middlesex and one in Salem
and the next assembly will be Al .repub-

publicans and 20 democrats last year.

BulltR DEMANDS A SECOND ARMY CORPS

(Corvrlght, 1897, by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, Nov. 7.-Midnight.-tNew York
World Cablegram-Sp telegram 1.-THE
war situation tonight is regarded in British
military and official circles as Increasingly
grave. The dispatch from the British gen.
eral at Estcourt to General Butler, pub
lished this evening, makes no mention OF
the brilliant victory and the capture OF 2,ooo
Beers described in Capetown messages, so
no reliance is now placed in that story.
General Whites request, sent to General
Joubert for permission for noncombatants
and the sick to leave Ladysmith for Pieter-
maritzbure. evidently was dictated by a
shortage of stores.
General Joubert's refusal, accompanied by
leave to move them to camp four miles
out where they would still have to rely on
Ladysmith for food, is another evidence OF
the Boer generals extreme astuteness Jou-
bert's only hope Of reducing Ladysmith is
nv famine. unless the ammunition for the
heavy naval guns gives out-wnlch also Is
apprehended as probable fresh intensiflca-
tion of Whites difficulties, the statement
being made that he had not time to get up
fresh supplies of ammunition after the nrst
days engagement. The Beers cannot take
Ladysmith by assault, having neither bayo-
nets nor swords but IL the British naval
guns were silent the Boer artillery could
dominate the town.
The most ominous indications OF serious
outlook, however, is the positive statement
that Butler has demanded second army
corps and that the order will be issued in
two days for its mobilization. This points
not only to the anticipation OF a long Boer
campaign, but also to the necessity of taking
precautions against both native rislngs anu
Dutch disaffection, which are becoming
more and more pronounced even in Cape
town.
A Censored Message.
Copyright 1899, by Press Publishing Coz
ESTCOURT, Natal, Nov. 5.-(Sunday, 1873
a. m)-(New York World Cablegram-Spe-
clal Telegram )-(Message held back two
days by the British censors and evidently
"edited ")-Efforts are being made to re-
establish Communication with General
Whites British force. which is surrounded
at Ladysmith by the Beers. British
f1anking force moved out from Ladysmitt
on Thursday to attack the Boer commando
which was advancing on Colenso "a railway
station fifteen miles SOUTH.
The English artillery sheled the position
of the Beers in the hills and after time
the Beers were located and cut to pieces by
General Whites cavalry. The Beers lost
according to reports in circulation, 1000
killed or wounded and 1000 taken prisoners
A reconnaissance was made with an ar
mored train last night and it was found that
the railroad bridge at Colenso is intact The
Beers are in force near Pieters station
(about half way between Ladysmith and
Colenso), where the railway has been
torn up.

Republican Plurality In Philadelphia
is Estimated at 10000, a Loss of
10000 Stay-at-HOme Votes.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 7.-Complete re-
turns from ten of the forty wards in this city
give Barnett (rep), for state treasurer. a
plurality of 1880 over Greasy (dem.) The
same wards in 1897, when Swallow was run
ming as Independent candidate, gave Beacon
(rep.) plurality Of 1885, and in 1895 the
republican plurality was 1S.443.
The vote on the question authorizing a
S12, 900 600 loan for the Improvement of the
city water supply shows the citizens to be
overwhelmingly in favor OF the proposition,
the average ratio of favorable votes being
about ten to one.
The republican city committee estimates
a republican plurality of 10000 in PhiladeI-
phia, a republican loss of over 10000 as COM
pared with 1897.
The loss Is due to the small vote cast. In
the state the following ticket was elected:
State treasurer, James E. Barnett (rep.y (;
supreme court Judge, j. Hay Brown (rep.);
s. Leslie Mestersat (dem.) , superior Judge,
John /. Mitchell (rep) There are two va
cancies in the supreme court and each party
gets one Judge.
