THE ELECTION.
Their Were No Great Surprises in
the Result.
REPUBLICANS WIN The HOUSE,
But the Democrats Made Big Gain.
in Nearly Ali the States. The
South Once More Solid.

The election on Tuesday. 4th in
Stant. resulted in no great surprises
In New York the Republican candi
! date for governor claims his election
by small majority. which the De.
mocrats refuse to concede. The result
is so close that there will probably be
contest. In almost all cities Cf the
state of New York the Republican
party organizations went to smash be-
fore the assault Of the labor vote. The
Democrats win four congressman in
the State.
Pennypacker has been elected gov
ernor of Pennsylvania BY a plurality
of at least 10000. This was done in
the face of the bittereSt campaign
that has racked the keystone state in
recent years of hard fighting in the
race OF discomfort caused by coal
strike. and Of revolt in Alleghany
county. which, when the votes were
counted, was found to have caused
complete party chaos. Pennsylvania
will probably elect u Republican
representatives and eight DEM era tic
representatives Quay has saved the
legislature and, having won this VIC
tory. is ready to retire from politics.
Connecticut has gone Republican by
probably $4,000 apd it is likely that
not only has Mr.. Lilly. Republican
candidate for representative at large,
been elected. in spite Of his connection
with the beef trust but that all the
four districts have been carried by the
Republicans.
In Ohio the Tom. Johnson ticket
has been showed under by the COM
bined efforts Of Senators Hanna and
Foraker. HannaS home city went
Democratic. The Republicans carry
Ohio by greatly reduced majority.
In Wisconsin the Republicans have
won in spite Of themselves. The Bit
ter quarrel between Governor Lafol-
lette and Senator Spooner was carried
directly to the polls. The surprising
result is that Lafollette has been
elected governor and the legislature
is Republican insuring Spooner's re-
turn to the senate and ten Of the
eleven congressional districts have
been carried by the Republicans.
There was a light vote in Illinois,
but the Republicans apparently held
their own. Indications are that the
Republicans will have the legislature,
insuring the election Of Represen Ia
tive Hopkins to the senate as the stlc-
ceSSors of William E. Mason.
Indiana remains Republican. The
legislature will be controlled by Re-
publicans and Senator Fairbanks will
succeed himselt.
There have been heavy Democratic
gains in Massachusetts,, but the Re-
publican state ticket has been elected
by fair majority.
1t is probable that three or four
members of congress have been elect
ed. but the Democrats Of Maryland
which now has six Republican repre-
sentativeS have elected four repre-
SentatiYS.
Delaware has probably been carried
by the Democrats and Houston has
been elected to congress. The legisla-
ture is close, but is believed the De-
mocrats will control and elect two
United States senators.
In the far west the Republicans have
made gains. Colorado is believed to
be safely in their column.
Nevada has probably elected Re-
publican to congress.
The Pacific coast states are gener-
ally Republican and the Republicans
in California have elected their state
ticket and six of the eight representa-
tiveS.
Rhode Island has elected Demo
cratic governor and two Denocrtic
members Of congress. This is sur
prising result and is due to the up
rising of labor in the cities Of Provi-
dence and Pawtucket.
The South is once more solid. The
Republicans carried very few congress
sional districts in this section.
A Collision.
The United Fruit company's steam
er Admiral Sampson which arrived at
Boston Tuesday reports that she
collided with the three masted Schoon-
er Charley Bucki bound from Eddy
vile, n. Y, for Boston, about ten
miles off the Cape Cod lightShip at :
o'clock this morning. The schooner was
sunk and Capt. Freeman Huntley OF
Jonesport, Me-: James Ulmer Hunt
ley, mate, and two seaman of the
Bucki were drowned. The mate was
a son of the captain. The lost sailors
were Norman Sampson of Sydney, c.
B.. and Mark Board of Two Rivers
