where from 10000 to 10000, defeating

aker claims the reelection of Gov. Nash
by 10000 plurality, with both houses of
the Legislature safely republican.

more than 10000.

(rep. for governor) plurality will be
at least $4,000. The republicans
claim that in the legislative contests
they have gained three or four mem
bers to add to their majority in the
senate, while in the house their now
great majority will be increased by
seven or eight. 1t is estimated that
the republican vote will be slightly
above 1000 Gov. Shaw two years

New Jersey.
Trenton, n. j., Nov. 6.-Late returns
bear out the earlier indications that
Franklin Murphy (rep.) has been elect
ed governor by about 10000 plurality.
Partial returns from the different
counties show that most of them gave
about the same pluralities as were
given three years ago, when Voorhees,
(rep.) was elected governor by 5,499
plurality. One of the exceptions is
Essex county, which gave Voorhees,
4,6S7, and is expected to be carried by
Murphy by from 5000 to 10000. Both
branches of the legislature will be re-
publican.

turns show large republican gains in

districts in Baltimore city.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 6.-The demo-
Gratis elected every candidate on their
ticket for school trustees in Louis
vile. Trustees were elected by viva
voce vote, so the result was known
early. Based on the vote for trus-
tees, the majority for Granger
(dem.), for mayor, is put by demo-
Gratis at $500 to 5000. The Courier
Journal claims the democrats will
have increased majorities in both
houses of the next general assembly,
which will elect successor to United

there We're no issues of special impor-
lance involved in the election in Massa-
chusetts, the vote was comparatively
large for what is termed an 'off year"
in politics. The vote for governor was:
w. NJ. Crane (rep.), 1854; Josiah
Quincy (dem.), 1869; Cranes plural
ity, 7O,919. The vote indicates repub-
lican loss of about 10000 from last
years figures. In the city of Boston
Josiah Quincy polled 39,155, plurality
of 1869, Gov. Cranes vote being 81 ,456.

Providence, r. l., Nov. 6.-With near
ly half the districts in the state heard
from, the republican plurality for the
state ticket promises to run well over
6,OOO This is a net loss of $500 from
last year, due to the light vote. Sew
enty districts in the state out of 139
give Gregory (rep) 1913; Garvin
(dem.), 6,172. The general assembly
will be republican strongly. Paw
tucket and Woonsocket have elected
democratic mayors, as has also Provi-
dence. In Newport and Contra! Fallz
the contest is close.
