THE SAD DETAILS.


sweep at the election on Tuesday,
Roosevelt and Fairbanks carrying all
of the doubtful States and making
vast gains in almost every direction.
Roosevelt will have 343 electoral
votes and Parker but 1873, Republi-
can majority of 80, while the plural
ity of the popular vote for Roosevelt
will be about L. 100000.
Both branches of Congress will still
be overwhelmingly Republican. The
House of Representatives will have
larger Republican majority than it
has had the past term, and the ad-
ministration will have full control Of
all departments Of the government.
There was great disappointment
among Democrats over the vote in
New York CITY and State. In great
er New York Parker's plurality was
only about SO 600. This unaccount-
ably small figure was swallowed up
bv the balance of the State, and the
Republican electors will probably
bave a plurality of 1875 900 in the
State. Higgins, Republican, is elect
Ell Governor by large majority.
Maryland has gone Republican by
about 125. Baltimore city Annked
badly, the Democratic plural y being
only about 400, and the counties
overcame these figures. Three Demo.
cratic Congressman were elected IN
the State. The result was surprise
to both parties,.as it was generally be-
lieved that the Democrats would
easily win. 1t is said that very little
money was spent in the State.
The Southern States gave the usual
Democratic majorities. 1t was not
necessary to give big vote, as there
were no State issues Of Importance.
Indiana goe, Republican by about
$4,000, despite the persistent claims
of Taggart before election that the
State would go Democratic. The Re-
publican majority is about double
what it was four years ago.
Wisconsin gives Roosevelt plu-
rality of about 10000, while LsFol-
lette carries the State by somewhat
smaller vote The Republican dis
seusions did the Democrats no good.
Nebraska gives Roosevelt plural.
ity of about 10000 Berge, the fus-
ION candidate for Governor, will have
a plurality of about 5000.
A very light vote was polled in
Virginia. Nine Democratic Congress
men were elected, and one Republ-
can was reelected.
W. l. Douglas, Democrat, was elect.
ed Governor OF Massachusetts by
about 10000 plurality. He is the
famous shoe manufacturer. The State
gave its electoral vote to Roosevelt
by about 10000. The Republicans
elect tel Congressman and the Dem
ocrsts three.
New Jersey went Republican by
about $4,000 and the Democrats lose
a couple of Congressman. The Re-
publican plurality four years ago was
Sc 900.
The Republicans made enormous
gains in Illinois. They carried the
State by $4,000 four years ago and
this year their plurality may reach
100000.

lican. Roosevelt's plurality is >esti-
mated at $4,000.

States roll up their usual enormous
majorities for the Republican candi-
dates, and Delaware gives Roosevelt
about 1000 plurality.
