Republican State Ticket Elected Prob

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 6.-The election in
Nebraska was extremely quiet, but fair
~ satisfactory vote was polled. All of the
returns received up to l o'clock this morn
ing indicate the Republican state ticket
was elected, perhaps by as much as 10000
majority. The figures upon which this
estimate is based are given on precinct re-
turns, which show average Republican
gains OF about four to the precinct.
The returns from 15S precincts outside of
Lincoln and Omaha give Sedgewick, Rep,
for Supreme judge, a total of 1870, against
Il 29S for Hollenbeck, fusion. These same
precincts a year ago gave Marsh, Rep,

ity in these precincts is about 1l,O0O more
than the majority received by Mr.. Marsh.
AS Mr.. Marsh carried the State by nearly
5000, this means that If the remaining pre-
cincts make the anne comparative showing
there can be no question as TO the electlop
of Judge Sedgewick by a very handsome
majority.

no harm befell the chief executive.

The party remained within the car and
avoided moving about to any extent. At
Jersey City the President shook hands and
conversed with a number Of friends while
waiting for the train TO depart. At Phila-

BIG VOTE IN MASSACHUSETTS,
Republican Plurality About the Same
as Given Two Years Ago.

BOSTON, Nov. 5.-With no state or ma
tional issues and but few local contests to
arouse interest there were more ballots

any off year in the history of the State.
The total vote exceeded 100000. AS usual,

by practically the same majority as when
he first ran for the office in 1899.
The State Legislature of 1902 will be
strongly Republican, although the Demo-
Gratis gained a few votes Josiah Quincy,
the Democratic candidate for Governor, ran
about 10000 behind the vote cast for the
party candidate in the presidential election
last year, but so materially increased the
Democratic vote in Boston as to give the
local leaders great confidence for a party
victory in the municipal election next
month.
Fine weather proved an excellent in
centive for going to the polls. which prob
ably accounted for the heavy vote cast in
all districts. The election was a remark
ably quiet one, although there were one or
two contests for state senators that
aroused some interest
Quincy, former mayor of Boston, carried
the city to-day by a plurality of 1853 in
his contest for the governorship. This is
a gain of about 1900 over the plurality &C
corded in this city last year to Robert
Treat Paine. jr., in his contest with Gov
ernor Crane. The total vote cast shows
a natural falling off this year. Last No
vember Governor Crane received 1851 and
to-day his votes numbered 81, 456. Paine's
vote in 1900 was 1886; Quincy's in 1901 is
39,155.
At midnight ii was announced that Crane
had been reelected by plurality of 20, 4OS

Notwithstanding the interest. the election
throughout the city was conducted gen.

disputants came away with broken heads,
but no very serious rows occurred any
