pired term of the late James McMil-
Ian, Senator Fairbanks is the choice
of the Indiana Republicans as his
own successor, and Locke Craig that
of the North Carolina Democrats to
succeed Peter G. Pritchard, Republic
can. Senators Platt, of New York,
Spooner, of Wisconsin, Platt, of Con-
necticut, Perkins, of California, Pen
rose. of Pennsylvania, Gallinger, of
New Hampshire, Hansbrough, of
North Dakota and Kittredge, of South
Dakota, Republicans; Teller, of Colo
RADIO, Silverite, and Mallory, of Flori-

coed themselves. Senator Turner, of
Washington, Fusionist-Democrat will
likely be displaced by former Senator
John L. Wilson, Republican, and Sen

CALIFORNIA.
Complete returns from San Fran
cisco and partial returns from all
over the State indicate that George
G. Pardee, the Republican nominee
for Governor, is elected by a majority
of 1000 to 5000. The plurality of 5000
given by San Francisco to F. X. Lane,
the Democratic nominee, has been al
mos wiped out by Republican major
tiles in the interior counties. The
Republican vote for Pardee in South
ern California has undoubtedly elect

MASSACHUSETTS.
Massachusetts elected a Republi-
can State ticket, Congressional del

OF Representatives of 155 Republicans,
50 Democrats and Socialists.
The total vote was the largest ever
cast for governor. reaching approx
mately 100000 against 1856, 100 for gov

Lieutenant Governor Bates in be-
ing chosen governor led Col. VIM. A.
CASTOR, the Democratic candidate,
by plurality of 37,479; but Colonel
CASTOR made a gain of 40 per cent. in

that given Josiah Quincy last year,

ADDIGKS' ELECTION WILL AGAIN BIZ

Returns from throughout the State
show that the Republicans carried
