MASSACHUSETTS,.

Boston, Nov. 7.--President Mckinley
has carried Massachusetts by about
10000 plurality, reduction Of nearly
100000 from four years ago. The Re-
publicans have elected 10 and possibly
IL congressman, a few by an increased
plurality over 1896, but in the major
ity of districts here candidates ran
behind those of four years ago, while
the total vote for governor was some
what behind that given the national
candidate. w. w. Crane was re-elect-
ed by a somewhat larger plurality
than that received by President Nc
Kinley. Reduction in the Republican
plurality was due not so much to the
falling off in the party vote, but to the
return of the so-called gold Democrats
of 1896 to the regular Democratic
ranks.

veritable landslide for Republicans in
Michigan and President Mckinley has
carried the state by majority vari-

The entire Republican state ticket has
also been elected although by small
er majority. Mayor Maybury of De-
troit. the Democratic candidate for
governor. has run far ahead of his
ticket. The state legislature, which
elects a successor to Senator James

election is a certainty. 1t seems al
most certain that the Republicans
have elected all their congressional

Chicago, Nov. 7.-Complete returns
from Is counties in state and partial
returns from the others, in studying
the full vote of Chicago in Cook coun-
ty, indicate a plurality for William
Mckinley that will probably exceed
10000. Chairman Watson. of the Dem
ocratic state central committee, con-
cedes the state to Mckinley by $4,000.
Returns also indicate tn, election of
the full Republican state ticket by
majorities considerably under the
presidential figures. the scratching on
the state ticket being confined almost
entirely to Cook county, where Mr.. AL
schulers personal popularity told
heavily in favor of the Mckinley NOM
inees, so much so, in fact, that 1t is
probable that the county was carried
for the Democratic state ticket. Re-
turns so far also indicate that the Re-
publicans have lost two and possibly
three congressman in Chicago, the
most sensational defeat being that OF
William Lorimer, one OF the most
prominent members of the Cook coun-
ty Republican organization, in the Sec
ond district. Outside OF Cook cor-ty
the congressional delegation is in
doubt.
