plurality of about $4,000. He carries
not only Brooklyn, where he was
known to be strong, but has also car
ried the boroughs of Manhattan and
the Bronx by about 5000 It's likely
that Low has carried every borough.
The entire fusion ticket is elected
The Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment will be controlled by the
anti-Tammanyites, which means that
about $100,0O0,0OO annually will be
expended under men opposed to Tam
many Hall. The worst blow that
Tammany has received is through the
election of Justice Jerome as district
attorney. He will have charge of the
indictments filed against Tammany
office holders, and this has already
thrown scare into Tammany ranks.
Van Wyck, candidate for Judge, is

He made the sorriest kind of fight.
He failed to carry his own election

and was beaten everywhere. AS was
predicted there has been landslide
against the forces of vice and indie
cency. With Tammany beaten. hui
inflated and powerless, Croker as
figure in the Democratic politics of
the nation has been destroyed.
NEBRASKA.
LINCOLN, NEB., November Bias
ed on scattering and rather incom-
plete precincts nearly every Sec
ton of the state where there are tele-
graph stations, Republican managers
at half-past 10 o'clock tonight are
confidently claiming the election of
s. H. Sedgwick for justice of the Su-
preme Court. The figures seem to
Justify their claims, and indicate a
larger plurality for Sedgwick than
was given Deitrick for governor a
year ago, and that, too, ON a greatly
reduced total vote. The gains appear
to have been made in Fusion commu-
mites. Early reports are always
from towns, where Republicans hold
their strength, and naturally early
returns are favorable to that party.
Country precincts will offset this, but
not in great degree.
The vote in the city of Lincoln is a
surprise, insOmuch as, with a falling
off of 80 per cent. in the total vote,
Sedgwick makes a gain of nearly five
to the precinct over a year ago.
The claim of the Republicans at
this hour of 1000 plurality for Sedg-
wick over Hollenbeck for Supreme
justice and the election of the two
Republican regents of the university
by nearly the same plurality does not
seem to be unreasonable.
All the returns received this morn
ing indicate that the Republican
state ticket has been elected, per-
haps, by as much as 10000 majority
The figures upon which this estimate
is based are given ON precinct re-
turns, which show average Republi-
can gains of about four to the pre-
cinct
KENTUCKY.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. ). - The
General Assembly that was elected in
Kentucky today, with the exception
of half the Senate, which holds over,
will be Democratic on joint ballot by
an increased majority, according to
the latest returns. This General As
sembly will elect successor to Uni
ted States Senator William ]. Deboe,
Rep, for the term beginning March
4, 1908. AT A. M. the returns indi-
Gated that the Senate will stand 90
Democrats to 10 Republicans. The
same as the old Senate and the House
III Democrats to 90 Republicans

time in years the returns do not show
the election of a single Populist to the
Assembly. In addition to electing a
United States senator, the new As
sembly will redistrict the state as to
senatorial, representative, Appellate
Court and Circuit Court districts for
10 years.
MASSACHUSETTS,.
Boston, Noy. with no state or
national issues, and but few local
contests to arouse interest, there
were more ballots cast in the state
election today than in any off year in
the history of the state. The total
vote exceeded 100000.
AS usual, the Republicans had no
difficulty in carrying the state, w.
hurry Crane, of Dalton, being elected
governor for the third time by prac-
tically the same plurality as when he
first ran for Office in 1899, which was
65,O37.
The state legislature of 1902 will be
strongly Republican, although the
Democrats have gained a few votes.
Josiah Quincy, the Democratic candi-
date for governor, ran about 10000
behind the vote cast for the party
candidate in the presidential election
