NEW JERSEY.

= Trenton, n. J.-Returns from every
mart of New Jersey indicate the heavi-
ast vote ever cast in the State, and q
ouiet election. Up to midnight the
Republicans claimed from $4,000 to
660OO majority for Mckinley and
Roosevelt and the Democrats conceded
their election by $4,000 to 10000. Six
of the eight Congressman chosen are
Republicans. which leaves the dele
cation the same as it Is at present.
The reelection of General William
T. Sewall to the United States Senate
ia assured, as the next Legislature will
be overwhelmingly Republican. The
Assembly will remain just as it was
year ago, but the Democrats lost fonr
Senators. The Republicans Will haye
d majority on joint ballot of forty.

PENNSYLVANIA.

Philadelphia, Penn. - Estimates
from a majority of the counties
in Pennsylvania indicate a plurality
for Mckinley of over 100000. In this
city the fusion Of the Democrats with
the Municipal League cut down the
Republican county ticket, but j. Hamp-
ton Moore, for City Treasurer. and
Jacob Singer for Register of Wills, are
elected by more than $4,000 plurality;
Pennsylvania's delegation in the
next Congress will probably be u te-
publicans and Democrats, a Reppb-
lican gain of 4.
The incoming Legislature will vote
for a United States Senator to sue
ceed Matthew S. Quay, whose term
expired March last.
NJ. s. Quay's friends are claiming
they have 4 majority on joint ballot
favorable to his reelection to the
United States Senate. -.
The control of the State Senate as
between Quay and anti-Quay is il
doubt with chances favoring the
Quayites, though the complete returns
may give the organization of that body
to the opponents of Mr.. Quay.

A Reform in "To Letn Signs. !,

New York City. the most beautifulS
city in America, has one sad blot ofl
its street scenes in the ugly ito let'sS.
signs that stand in front of, eyer \

annoying to persons VINO are 65tSins
for beauty or fopsfomes: They repeEs
the searched foEfiats and displease thesS
man who has1lready fixed his. home ink
n building. Real estate managers Of
Harlem are beginning to realize this,
and 1t is expected that reform will
come swiftly. - S. Ss
The new plan is to have a standard
size and shape of sign adopted bySF
the Landlords Association. A small,
sign,. artistically gotten up, will not
disfgure the entrances to the buildings
and will attract more attention than
the big, crude, board signs now used
The proof Of this is in actual practice,
where artistic signs are used II ALL
signs of not over an agreed size. II isI
argued, none will have the advantage
and the public and the tenants will bak3
happy. 81 81
Some landlords excuse the cheap
signs by saying that they have Yacan-js
cies so seldom that it does not pay
to get up nice signs, but, no matter
how desirable building is, 1t will
have a vacancy once in awhile. The
many neat signs that are appearing !
in Harlem are surprising residents,
who wonder that the city has tolerated s
the ugly signs for so many years with 4

!. washington, D. c. (SpeciaD.-The
next House of Representatives will be
Republican by small majority. The
Republicans have enough Congressman
to outvote the Democrats and all 9TH
ers in the House. The Senate also re-
mains Republican. From the present
outlook the makeup Of the upper house
wilfebe: Republicans, So; Democrats,
81; all others, 4. Thus the Republi-
cans will continue to hold their effec-
tive working majority against the
Democrats and the Independents tn
the Senate. The Republicans have q
majority Of fourteen over all oppo-
sition. o.,
The House of Representatives has
been carried by veritable Republican
landslide. The Republican gains. have
not been confined to any one section of
the country. The East, the West, and
even the South have contributed to
the increased Republican majority.
In the next House the Republicans
will have, according to present re-
turns, POP members, and this will give
them a majority of At. Their major
ity in the present House is IS. .r
In the House the most important
gains have been in the East-New
York, Pennsylvania and Maryland be.
ing the chief contributors. The West
Is so strongly Republican in the pres.
ent House that no material gains could
be expected in that direction.
One of the striking features. of the
membership Of the new Congress Is
the small number of Populists, Silver
Republicans and Fuslonists who will
hold seats in the Senate and Houses

ILLINOIS.

= Chicago, Ill.-McKinley has carried
the State of Illinois by tremendous
majority. At this hour it seems that
his plurality will be increased by at
least 10000 over that Of 1896. Samuel
Alschuler, Democratic candidate for
Governor, Is beaten by very close
vote. He ran ahead Of his ticket by
at least 100000 The surprise of poll
ticians is the enormous vote cast for
Mckinley in Chicago, which Chairman
Jones, Mayor Harrison and others had
claimed to be Democratic. The Re-
publicans will lose four Representa-
tives in Congress, including William
