didate for governor of Rhode Island is


one of the big surprises.
In Illinois while ofnc1at figures are
lacking, there is every indication that
the Republican ticket has been elect
ed by a good majority, and that the
next legislature, which will elect a sue
cessor to United States Senator Ma
son, will be safely Republican. The
Republicans in Connecticut elected
their entire ticket by a plurality esti-
mated to be at least $4,000, with the
general assembly safely Republican
on joint ballot.
In Maryland the election was only
for congressman, the Republicans
electing four of the six members.
Virginia's election was confined to
congressman and the returns indicate
that the Democrats have elected nine,
with one district doubtful. The Dem
ocratic majority in North Carolina is
estimated to be about $4,000, with 4
solid Democratic delegation in con-
gress and a Democratic legislature.
Tennessee rolled up a Democratic
majority for governor and the state
ticket estimated at $4,000. The leg
islature is also Democratic.
Bliss Elected.
In Michigan the Republicans elect
ed Governor Bliss and the entire state
ticket, besides securing II of the IL
congressman.
In New Jersey there was no change
in the present situation.
Massachusetts went strongly Repub-
lican.
In Rhode Island the Democrats have
elected L. e, Garvin for governor. but
with this exception the Republican
state ticket will go through. The leg
islature is Republican.
In California the returns indicate
that the governorship is in doubt.
The latest reports from Montana
give the state to the Republicans.
Indications in Kansas are that the
Republican state ticket has been elect
with eight congressman. The legis-
lature will De safely Republican.
Returns from Nevada point to a
Illusion victory in the state.
Heavy Republican gains are conced-
ed throughout the state of Colorado
Returns from Iowa go to show that
the Republicans have elected their
state ticket ~ $4,000 majority.
The result in Delaware seems to be

Ohio is claimed by the Republicans

PORTO RICAN ELECTION.
Passed of Notwithstanding Repub
lican Victory,

San Juan, p r., Nov. 5.-There were
no serious disorders anywhere in Por-
to Rico yesterday. The election,
which resulted in a sweeping Repub-
lican victory, passed off quietly. This
was largely due to the fact sthat Gov
ernor Hunt sent them two special rep
resentatives covering the whole island
with plenary powers to adjust differ
ences summary. FREDERICK de Gotau
was reelected resident minister at
Washington by a large majority.
The federals receive seven delegates
in the legislature and the Republicans
%. In most of the rural districts
and cities Guayama, Cuayay, San Lo.
renzo ,ibenito and other federals,
through intimidation, abstained entire.
ly from voting and lost five delegates

ed everywhere, and the government

DEAR SIR:-Some years ago operated float

account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic and I determined to give the
medicine trial. l procured it, and those who
were sick were put this treatment and those who
we're feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In a short time every one ofthe one hundred hands

on I used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,

CLAY IS REELECTED SENATOR.
Almost Unanimously Chosen by Geor
gia Legislature.

ga Legislature.
Atlanta, Nov. By the separate
vote of the senate and house of repre-.
sentatives Hon. A. S. Clay, of Cobb
county, was yesterday almost unani-
mously elected to succeed himself as
United States senator from Georgia
for a term of six years.
The law requires that the election
for senator shall be held on the second
Tuesday after the general assembly
convenes, the vote being taken sep
arately In each house. On the day
following the general assembly must
meet in joint session and bal
lot of both bodies is taken for that
office. The house and senate will
therefore, meet in joint session at noon
today to take the final ballot, after
which Senator Clay will address the
legislature in accordance with the
usual custom.
Only three votes were cast against
Senator Clay, two in the house and
one in the senate. These votes were
cast by Republican members for Wal
ter H. Johnson, marshal for the north
ern district of Georgia, who was the
Republican nominee for the senate.

Columbus, O., Nov. 5.-With more
complete returns the Republicans to-
day say their plurality on the state
ticket will approximate 100000, that
the Ohio congressman stand GIT Re
publicans to 4 Democrats, as in the

that Mayor Tom Johnson and mis-
friends had the organization of the
Democratic party everywhere in the
state except in Cincinnati, and that
they would seek to secure the control
OF the Hamilton county committee this
year. It has been recognized that
Johnson has been opposed to Mclean
for the Democratic caucus nomination
for United States senator next year,

REPUBLICANS HAVE
MAJORITY IN HOUSE
Some Returns From Late
State Elections.
oDELL WINS IN NEW YORK
Election of a Democratic Governor In
Rhode Island One of the Big Sur
prises-Tom johnson, of Ohio, Bad
Iy Left.

Washington, Nov. objections were
held yesterday in forty-two states,
and up to an early hour this morning
the returns indicated that the con
troll of the national congress lies with
the Republican party. While official
returns may make the working major.
ity of the Republican party in the
house a close one, there is no doubs
that it will be sufficient for all party
purposes.
From a national standpoint, the
control Of the lower branch of con-
gress was the real contest. Many Of
the states elected legislatures which
will choose United States senators,
but the result of these elections has,
in no way imperilled the Republican
majority of the upper house. In those
states which elected governors there
was no state in which the party IL
power was not continued in that posi-
ton. In some of the states, however,
there was a decided change from the
vote cast two years ago.
In the east the main interest cen
tered in the two great states Of New
York and Pennsylvania In the lat
ter because of the conditions brought
about by the recent coal strike, and in
New York because of its bearing Oh
the future in his party Of the Republic
an governor. New York reelected
Governor B. B. Odell and the entire
state ticket, though the falling off in
the Republican plurality as compared
to 1900 was enormous. At late hour
last night Odells plurality was plac-
ed at about 10000 The Democrats
made very slight gain in the legib-
lature, out not enough to enjoin the
election of a Republican successor to
Senator Platt.
In Pennsylvania, former Governor
Pattison has materially reduced the
Republican majority, but the odds
against him were too great.
Waterloo Defeat for johnson.
In Ohio, Mayor Tom Johnson, Of
Cleveland, who has led the Democrat
ic forces, seems to have met a Water
loo defeat His candidate for secre-
tary OF state, Bigelow, has been de-
feated by a majority approximating
100,0 900. The aim of Johnson and his
lieuteHants has been to make a ma
terial reduction in the normal Repub-
lican majority, but they have failed.
This may in some degree be attribut-
ed to factional differences inside the
Democratic party.
The Republicans have held their
own in the middle and western states,
and made some gains.
In Delaware, the Democratic candt-
date for congress has been given
good plurality. The official vote will
probably be necessary to determine
the complexion of the legislature,
which may have the opportunity Of
electing two senators.
The democrats of Massachusetts,, un-
der the leadership of Colonel Castor,
have made decided gains, but there
was NO hope of carrying the state.
