RHODE ISLAND.
Providence. r. I. - Returns show
slight Republican gains, which indi-
cate the election Of all the Republican
State ticket, except Governor, and Re-
publican control Of the Legislature.
The gains are not sufficient to over
come Garvin's plurality of 1900 last
year. Colt, the Republican candidate
for Governor, made his heaviest gains
in Providence. The Legislature Is Re-
publican in both branches. The May
ors Of the five cities in the State, four
Democrats and one Republican, were
reelected. Miller, the Democratic
Mayor Of Providence, is reelected by
an increased plurality. The Republi-
cans elected their Mayor in Woon-
socket.
MARYLAND.
Baltimore. Md.-The indications on
the morning after election are that the
Democrats have not only carried the
Legislature, but have elected Warfeld
Governor by a plurality Of 5000. Balti-
more went Democratic by 1000. In
complete returns from the counties in
dicate Democratic gains. Kent went
Democratic by about 100. Hartford POO,
Howard 500. Anne Arundel 100. A
Democrat will probably succeed Nc
Comas in the United States Senate.
All reports up to midnight from scat
tering precincts in the city show that
Warheld, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, will carry the city by about
1000 majority. The reports from these
precincts are from Democratic strong
holds and a large number of ballots
were thrown out on account Of de-
fectiveness.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Philadelphia, Pa.-Estimates from
the sixty seven counties Of the State in
dicate a plurality for Matthews (Rep)
for State Treasurer, of 217,7S4. Sny-
der, for Auditor General. and Morrison
and Henderson, for Judges Of the Su-
perior Court, eceivedapproXimately the
same immense pluralities. Snyder, who
| became the object Of criticism because
as q State Senator he voted for what
| Is popularity known as the press
Muzzle' law. was apparently cut very
little. The returns indicate Republican
gains in forty-nine counties, and Dem
ocratic gains in the remaining eighteen
counties. 1t is apparent from the ma
| ture of the estimates received during
the night that the official count will in
crease the Republican plurality to such
an extent that it may exceed 20O,OOO.
IOWA.
Des Moines, Iowa.-Returns from
thirty eight precincts in Iowa at 0
o'clock give a net Democratic gain
of 6S2, establishing q ratio Of gain Of
| twenty-one per cent. Should this be
maintained, Governor Cummins' piu-
rality will be $4,000, or less than
forty per cent. of what it was
two years ago. The voting was light.
but was full as heavy as was expected
Republicans attribute the falling off IN
their plurality to a factional fight
against Cummins. owing to his advo-
cacy of tariff reform. Polk County.
| Cummins' home, shows even heavier
percentage of loss than precincts from
other parts of the State. Governor
Cummins has been reelected by ap-
proximately 10000 plurality. Repub-
| licans, at II o'clock, estimated their
plurality at $1,000, while the Dem
ocrats said that it would not exceed
5000. They regard this as great VIC
tory for Sullivan. their nominee. Cum
MINIS plurality two years ago was So
900.
