cratic) a favorite over Seth Low {fus-
ionist). for Mayor. 1t is estimated that
about s.. 900, 900 will change hands on
the result. There is every indication
this morning that the race will be close;
BROOKLYN is expected togiye Low good
sized plurality while Manhattan and the
Bronx are expected to do the same tor
Mcclellan. The size of the respective
pluralities 10 those boroughs will deter
mine the election. On the State ticket
only Judge of the court of appeals is to
be chosen. Judge Dennis o Brien (dem)
has been endorsed by the republicans,
and his election will be practically unan-
imous. A constitutional amendment,
whether the Erie canal shall or shall
not be deepened and widened into
| 900 ton barge canal, is up for decision.
1t will receive big vote in Greater
New York, where both sides have de-
cIared in favor of the project.
Albany, n. y. Nov. S.-Thirty Pink
erton detectives employed by the demo-
Gratis in the interest of a pure ballot have
been keeping tabs on republican workers
throughout the city today. The weather
conditions are perfect and heavy vote
is being polled early. The republicans
expect to carry three out of the four as
sembly districts in the county and are |
predicting the reelection of Mayor Cause |
over Rice, the democratic candidate, by |
1900.
MARYLAND.
Baltimore, Nov. 9.-The day was |
beautiful and the voting in the early |
morning was unexpectedly heavy. This |
was especially true of the wards in the |
better sections of the city. Apparently |
there is some cutting of the legislative |
ticket but for the State ticket they are
generally going in straight. 1t looks as
though Edwin Warfeld, Democratic can
didate for Governor, would carry the
city by small plurality, probably not
more than 1000. The legislature elect
ed today will elect United States Sena-
tor to succeed Louis L. McComas. The |
democrats are claiming the State by
good plurality and a big majority on
Joint ballot in the legislature. The re-
publicans are not giving any figures, ex-
cept to say they expect majority Of six |
in the legislature, which very few except |
the most ardent republicans are willing |
to swear by.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Philadelphia, Nov. 3.-Today's is one |
of the most interesting elections in the |
history of Pennsylvania. The balloting |
in the State is for State treasurer, au-
ditor general and two judges of the
supreme court. A republicans victory is
conceded. In this city there will be
elected a treasurer, register of wills,
district attorney, common pleas judges,
a member of Congress from the Fourth |
district, and city councilmenin the three
wards. In Philadelphia it is only a
question of the republican majority. All
of them will be. elected, together with
one democrat, Judge Carr, of common
pleas court No. 4, who has the repub-
ican endorsement.
Reading, Nov. S.-The vote here to-
day is the lightest in years. The demo-
cratic nominees for auditor general, State
treasurer and superior court will carry
both city and county.
OHIO.
Cincinnati, o., Nov. 3.-The sky
was overcast this morning, but later the
sun appeared, and the weather is now
ideal. A heavy vote began to be polled
as soon as the polls were opened in the
down town wards where the registration
is large. The indications are that al
most the entire registered vote will be
cast in these wards. Reports from the
hill tops are to the effect that a large
vote is being polled. Enthusiastic re
publicans claim that their ticket will be
elected by not less than 10000 plu-
rality.
George b. Cox, republican leader,
stated today the republican majority in
Hamilton county would be 80, 600.
Cleveland, o., Nov. 9.-Enthusiastic
republicans are claiming that Herrick
will carry Cuyahoga county by 5000.
Democrats can see no reason why John
son shall not poll as heavily as he did
last spring in the mayoralty campaign
when he had plurality Of nearly 5000.
MASSACHUSETTS.
Boston, Nov. 3.-So-called repub-
lican weather prevails throughout the
State today. 1t is expected that the
total vote will be unusually large, for
an "off year" in politics. The demo-
cratic managers are confident that Col.
Gaston's vote will show an increase Of
10 per cent. over his vote of 1902, and
decrease for Bates of ten per cent. out
side of Boston. On the republican side
Chairman Talbot expresses the belief
that Governor Bates will be reelected.
IOWA.
Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. AT demo-
cratic headquarters forecasts of a reduced
republican majority were enlarged upon
solely because of the weather, but the re-
publican managers continue to maintain
that Cummings and the entire state ticket
would be elected by $4,000.
RHODE ISLAND.
Providence, R. l., Nov. 4.-The re-
publican managers claim that the fair
weather will result in both Providence
