MASSACHUSETTS.
Crane REELECTED by Plurality
over Seventy Thousand-Boston
Goes for Quincy.

Boston, Nov. CIV. Murray Crane
of Dalton, republican, was reelected
governor of Massachusetts, for the
third time, yesterday, by a plurality
of 70,40S over Josiah Quincy, the dem
ocratic candidate. The republicans
also elected their entire state ticket
and will have the usual heavy majori
ity in the legislature of 1902.
Returns from every city and town
in the state, with the exception O,
Dartmouth, give Crane, republican
1876, 500; Quincy, democrat, 1880.
Much interest in the returns cen
tered in this city, which went foi
Quincy by almost 7.700, a little more
than the republican estimate, and q
little less than the democratic. The
democrats also elected all their can.
didates for offices in Suffolk county
by much larger margins than thai
given Mr.. Quincy.
The-state legislature of 1902 will be
strongly republican, although the
democrats gained few votes. Josiah
Quincy, the democratic candidate foi
governor, ran about 10000 behind the
vote cast for the party candidate in
the presidential election, last year,
but he SO materially increased the
democratic vote in Boston as to give
the local leaders great confidence for
party victory in the municipal elec.
ton next month.
Fine weather proved an excellent
Incentive for gonig to the polls
which probably accounted for the
heavy vote cast in all districts.
The election was remarkably
quiet one, although there were one
or two contests for state senators
that aroused some interest.

Providence, r. l., Nov. 5.-With
nearly half the district in the state
heard from, the republican plurality
for the state ticket promises to run
well over 5000. This is net loss OF
e,50o from last year, due to the light
vote. Seventy districts in the state
out of 1870 give Gregory (rep.) 10,133;
Garvin (dem.) 6,i72.
The general assembly will be re.
publican strongly. Pawtucket and

New York, Nov. 6.--Seth Low, for

Greater New York, was elected, yes
terday, the second mayor of Greater
New York by plurality anywher,
from 10000 to 10000, defeating Ed
ward M. Shepard, of Brooklyn, tn,
democratic nominee. The campaign
was an exciting one, and the vote
though somewhat less than in the
presidential election year ago, was
the largest ever polled in a municipal
contest in this country.
In addition to the canvass for may.
or, public interest largely centered in
the nomination by the fusionists OF
William Travers Jerome, for district
attorney, and Mayor Robert A. Van
Wyck, by the democrats, for justice
of the supreme court, who were voted
for only in the territory contained in
New York county. Returns received
up to II p. m. indicated that Jerome
had been elected by comfortable
plurality and that Mayor Van Wyck
had been defeated, the latter running
behind his ticket from $4,000 to 2O,-
eco.
Returns also indicate the complete
triumph here of The Greater New
York fusion ticket, Charles Vincent
Fornes, the nominee of the citizens
union and the republicans for presi-
deEt of the board of aldermen, defeat
ing George II. Van Hoesen, the demo

In the various municipal contests
