dates. The great slump in Republican
vote is attributed to the surprisingly
large vote polled by Mayor Jones, of

most respectable third. Complete re-
turns will undoubtedly show election

those Of Bushnell two years ago.

plurality OF $4,000.

state and city so far received indicate
that the Republicans will have about
the same majority In the next assem-
bly, as In the last, the Democratic gains
in this city being Offset by losses In
the smaller counties.

elected at least ninety members Of the
lower house Of the legislature. He said
that the returns SO far received from

tribute to Senator Platts management

Democrats Carry Boston.
Boston, Nov. S.-The Democrats nad
no difficulty in carrying the city of Bos-
ton. For the past three years the city
has Endorsed the Republican candidate
for governor, but this year Robert
Treat Paine, Jr., the Democratic nom.
lnee, received a plurality Of 6,196 over
w. Murray Crane, Republican. The
decrease in the Crane vote Is partly due

ocratic candidate, has been elected by
q majority v8riously estimated at
from 10000 to $4,000. There is also a
certainty that the lower
house of the general assembly will be
Democratic by a large majority and
that the Democrats will elect enough
state senators to overcome the Repub-
lican advantage among the hold-Over

branches of the Legislature The Dem
Dcrats are wild with enthusiasm
