BLISS is AGAIN ELECTED



and 10000 Plurality.
Detroit, Nov. 5.-The Republicans Of
Michigan have elected Governor A. T..
Bliss and their entire state ticket, elev-
en- of the twelve representatives and an
overwhelming majority of the members
of, the legislature. The vote was light
throughout the state, and the Repub-
lican majority is estimated at between
10000 and 10000, although Republic
an State Chairman G. J. Diekema in
sists that it will be nearer $4,000, bas-
ing his statement on advices received
from the various county chairmen.
Governor Bliss ran heavily behind
his ticket-from 10000 to 1900, it is
estimated. l.. T. Durand, the Demo
cratic candidate for governor, polled a
correspondingly heavy vote, especially
I'm Detroit. which he carried by from
1000 to 5000. Al, indications pointed
to the election Of Alfred Lucking,
Dem. to congress from the First dis
trict.

SOME ONE BLUNDEREp
Mortar Falls Over and Shoots It's Bomb
into the Throng.

into the Throng.
A few minutes after 10 O'Clock the
first row of mortars was touched off,
but before the discharge took place
one of them fell over on its side and
the next instant the bomb was shot in
70 the thickest Of the crowd, where it
exploded and hurled the people into
Aeaps. The fall of the mortar and the
Oncussion of the explosion knocked
down the rest OF the row of mOrtars
md laundering volley of huge prof.
ectileS plOwed through the crowd.
Almost instantaneously the second
group of twenty mortars about 100 feet
farther up the avenue discharged their
contents into the crowd, and a moment
later the third group, evidently ignited
by the showers of falling sparks, ex-
plOded in the same manner. In the
panic that ensued thousands ran blind
ly across the square, tripping over the
seats and benches, and falling were
trampled on The police were carried
along by the rush and for half an hour
the widest confusion reigned.
After the smoke of the explosion
had clearedaway sixteen persons were
found lying on Madison avenue be-
tween Twenty-third and Twenty-fifth
streets. Scores Of injured were scat
tered about the avenue and the square.
Among the dead was policeman who
was standing close to the first mortar
and whose body was frightfully man
gled.
The following le-sons connected
with the fireworks company In charge
of the display were arrested: henry
Temple, Frank Listvan, James T. AL
len, Edward Smith, Herman Rogers,
Charles Holman, John Fullan. None
of them could offer an explanation of
how the explosions took place.

VIII Give Them Nothing.
Philadelphia, Nov. 4. - Ex-Judge
Pennypacker, Republican candidate for
governor, spent yesterday at home in
Montgomery county. Robert E, Pat
tison, his Democratic opponent, was
at his Office here most of the day.
Insurance Commissioner Durham, lead
er of the local Republican organization,
said: ''As result Of the reports /
have received 1 predict Republican
majority in Philadelphia of 100000.
The total may be higher. 1 look for
$4,000 majority for Judge Pennypack-
er outside Of Philadelphia. The city
will send a solid delegation to both
branches of the legislature"
Those of the Democratic leaders still
here say that there is no doubt of Pat
tison's ability to carry the state out
side of Philadelphia. Chairman Don
nelly, of the city committee, expressed
the belief that Pattison's vote in this
city will be more than $4,000, which
he said will insure his election, if
the Democratic expectations are real
lied outside Of Philadelphia.
Senator Quay, chairman of the Re
publican state committee, issued a
statement In which he shows a plu-
rality in the state for Pennypacker
Rep.) of 163, ,435. The senator con-
cedes but one of the thirty-two con-
gressiOnal districts to the Democrats
and claims that the Republicans will
have two-thirdS majority in both
branches of the legislature
Democratic State Chairman Creasey
said before leaving here for his home
that Pattison would have 10000 plu-
raity, and that the next legislature will
be anti-PenroSe.

Districts Are Doubtful.
Chicago, Nov. 5.-The Republicans
nave carried Illinois by plurality of
about $1,000. The Republican leaders
claim that they have elected Busse for
state treasurer by 1900 and Manner
for clerk of the supreme court by A.
600. The Republicans will have at
least fourteen representatives in con-
gress, as against eleven in the last
congress. The Democrats are sure of
nine representatives, and may secure
two more The contest in the Sixth
congressional district is exceedingly
close, and it may, require the official
count to determine the result. Lori
mer has a slight lead, but Durborrow
was gaining slowly as the late returns
came in. The election of FOSS In the
Tenth district is doubtful
On returns on the election for men,
bers of the state legislature the best
information is that the Republicans
will have a majority of both the sena-
tors and representatives from this
county, and control the legislature. In
the city of Chicago the election was
full of surprises. The Republicans
triumphed in Democratic strOnghOlds
and the Democrats returned the COM
pliment in fullest measure. The head
of the Republican ticket, Busse, the
candidate for state treasurer, has car
ried the city Of Chicago and county Of
Cook by approximately 11Oc0. and at
the same time Barrett. the Democratic
candidate for sheriff. has undoubtedly
beaten the Republican nominee by
about 10000.

Columbus, o., Nov. 4.-Before the

last night to vote no unusual develop

state. The Democratic, managers still
persist that there may be a surprise
In the vote on the state ticket and
that they will gain three representa-
tives-surely two. Chairman Dick, be-
fore leaving for Akron yesterday, said
he expected a Republican gain of one
by A. II. Jackson defeating James A.
Norton in the Thirteenth district. A
Republican plurality on the state ticket
of from 70,0C0to 100000 is claimed.

Oyster Bay, L. l., Nov. 4.-President

Pennsylvania,

Philadelphia, Nov. 5. - Estimates
from more than half the counties in
Pennsylvania outside of Philadelphia
and Allegheny county show gains for
the Democratic state ticket. These
gains are Offset, however, by heavy
Republican gains in Philadelphia and
Pittsburg. The returns indicate the
Republican plurality in the state Of
from 10000 to 100000. The Republic
ans will have an increased majority
in the state senate and house, which
assures the reelection Of United States
Senator PenrOse.

New York Democrats Who Look for O
Landslide-New England.
New York, Nov. 4.-The lull before
the opening Of the final struggle found
the leaders of both great parties still
claiming large-and in many instances
increased-pluralities for their respec-
tive candidates. Frank Campbell,
chairman of the Democratic state COM
mittee, declared himself convinced that
his estimate of $4,000 plurality in the
state for Coler for governor erred on
the side Of modesty and expressed con-
fidence that the candidate is sure of
election by ut least $4,000, and said
he had information which indicated
that a landslide for the Democratic
party might be expected.
Colonel George w. Dunn, chairman
Of the Republican state committee, on
the other hand, stands fast to his orig
inal estimate of $1,000 plurality for
Odell which is practically the same as
that of the candidate himself.
New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 4.-The Re
publican state committee Is confident

Chairman Gates believes the plurality

Boston, Nov. 4.-Republicans are ex
ceedingly confident and the Democrats
very hopeful. The former claim the
state by $4,000, while the latter be-
lieve they will elect THEN candidate

Byrne, the Union (Addicks) Republic

Baltimore, Nov. 4.-Both parties ex-

Columbus, O., Nov. 5.-The Repub-
licans carried Ohio yesterday by next
to their highest plurality on record
Nothing above 10000 had been pre-
dicted, but partial returns indicate that
1t will greatly exceed those figures. At
the same time the Republicans are
likely to lose representative in con-
gress. The present Ohio delegation
consists Of seventeen Republicans and
four Democrats and the returns show
sixteen Republicans and four Demo
Gratis elected, with the Twelfth district
in doubt
Chairman Dick said: Returns to
this hour do not change our estimate
of 100000 Republican plurality" Dur
ing the campaign it was said that any
reduction of the Republican plurality
in Ohio would be considered prelim-
mary victory for Mayor Johnson over
Senator Hanna in the senatorial con-
test Of next year.

Battle of Ballots.
New York, Nov. 5.-In spite of the
pbenomenally large vote in New York
and Kings county for Bird s. Coler,
Dem., the returns up to late hour
last night indicated the reelection of
Benjamin B. OdeII, Rep, to the gov
ernOrship Of New York state by plu-
raIity of 1,604. Coler's plurality in the
Greater New York exceeded 115,00O, a
surplus of 5000 above the claim made
by Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many Hall, but even that large vote
was not sufficient to overcome the Re-
publican majorities from up the state.
Odelrs vote in the country districts
was lighter than two years ago, but
COler's was also lower than Stanch-
fields in the same year.
In New York city Coler's plurality
was approximately 1850, made up
as follows: New York county, $1,000:
Kings county, 26,5OO; Queens. $500.
and Richmond, $500. Figures from the
congressional districts in New York

parently show a loss of four members

COLORADO ELECTS REPUBLICANS
Legislature Ia Democratic and Teller Re-

Denver, Nov. 5.-ReturnS from the
state indicate that Colorado has elect
ed a full Republican ticket by small
majorities. This is conceded by lead

min Smith. The Democratic congress
sional candidates are claimed to have
run ahead OF their ticket, and one or
more of them may be elected.
The legislature will undoubtedly be
Democratic on joint ballot, as there
are seventeen Democratic hold-ove1
senators. This insures the return of
Teller to the United States senate, as
he was indorsed by the Democratic
state convention. .s,.,.lH
