There is a falling off in the vote in
several of the states, but the Repub-
licans have made gains in Iowa.
The Ohio Republicans are surprised
themselves at their splendid victory.
The plurality for Governor Nash will
exceed 10000. The reelection of Sen
ator Foraker is assured. The Repub-
licans attribute their success largely
to the popular desire not to disturb
prevailing prosperity. The failure of
the Silver Democrats to vote and the
attitude of John R. Mclean contrib
uted to the Republican sweep.
w. Murray Crane, Republican, was
elected governor of Massachusetts for
the third time by a plurality of TO-
900, and the legislature will be strong
ly Republican. The total vote, 3OO,-
600, was the heaviest in any off-year
i'll the history of the State.
The Kentucky legislature will be
Democratic on joint ballot by an in
creased majority, which assures the
election of Democratic United States
Senator to succeed w. j. Deboe. Re-
publican.
In New Jersey the Republican plu-
rality for Franklin Murphy for gov
ernor is estimated to be nearly double
that of Voorhees, three years ago.
Both branches of the legislature are
Republican.
Republicans were generally success
full in the local elections in Kansas.
OHIO.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 5.-The Re-
publicans to-day carried Ohio by such
an increased plurality on their State
ticket, and with such an enlarged
majority in the legislature, as to cause
all sorts of comment on what did it. -
The result continues the Republicans
in power in the State, making an
epoch of 70 years in succession for
that party in Ohio, and it insures the
reelection of Senator Foraker.
The extent of the Republican sue
cess is attributed to the Silver Demo
Gratis not voting; to the attitude of
John R. Mclean, years ago an Ohio
member of the Democratic National
Committee; to the superior organiza-
ton of the Republican and other
causes.
The Republicans attribute the re-
suit largely to the popular desire not
to disturb the prevailing prosperity
in accordance with Senator Hanna s
appeal to ''let well enough alone" to
the desire to support President Roose-
welt in carrying out the policy of Nc
kinley and to the Endorsement of
Governor Nash and Senator Foraker.
PENNSYLVANIA.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 5.-Returns
from the State indicate the election
of Frank g. Harris, Republican, for
State treasurer, and William Potter,
Republican, for Supreme Court jus
tice by pluralities considerably below
those of 1899, when Barnett, Repub-
lican, had ITO, 5ss plurality. The re-
duction of the Republican plurality
is due in part to the light vote cast.
Secretary Clements, of the Union
party, comedies the defeat of the State
and county ticket of the Union party
in Philadelphia. He declines to give
figures on the ground that the re-
turns so far received are not sufficient
for basing an estimate.
g. Harry Davis, Fusion, is proba-
bly, elected Common Pleas Judge in
Philadelphia, defeating Maxwell Ste
yenson, Democrat. Stevenson was
also on the Public Opinion party
ticket and received Republican sup
port, but not enough to elect him.
The Republicans elected the other
two judges, Robert Rolston and J..
