Washington, Nov 9.-The election
of John NJ PattisOn, Democrat, as gov
ernor Of Ohio. by approximately 40,-
900 plurality. over Myron T. Herrick,
the present Republican governor; a
Democratic working majority in both
houses of the Ohio legislature; an i'm
mediate appeal of VIM. r. Hearst, the
Municipal Ownership candidate for
the New York mayOralty, to the SUI
preme court to contest McClellan's
election in that city on the basis of
alleged evidence of wholesale illegal
acts at the polls; a plurality of 3,4S5
votes for Mcclellan; and the imme-
diate contest by the Fusionists in Lou
isvlle in the courts against the elec-
ton of Democratic municipal officers
and members of the legislature, were
the developments in todays election
aftermath.
McClellan's plurality is the mini
mum on record for a successful mayor
atty candidate in New York. Mr..
Hearts managers claim evidence of
illegal acts against 1000 inspectors
of election and that 10000 of his ad-
herents were turned back from the
polls because their names already had
been voted. District Attorney Jerome
has announced that he would make
searching investigation of the alleged
wholesale frauds. and has ordered the
4. =. Il
tcth assembly districts to be care
; fully guarded. These are the home
: districts of the Tammany leaders, Muir
ply and Sullivan.
In Louisville, the Fusion party man.
ayers claim a non-election in fourteen
precincts because of the disappear
ance of the election paraphernalia;
that Democratic workers cOnfiscated
the ballot boxes in IA other precincts
and allowed Justification of returns;
and allege activity of "thugs" and re-
:. peaters.
All through Ohio ,Ge belated returns
showed Republican losses, and the
+ Republicans cOncede that PattisOn's
v plurality reaches $4,000. The Demo-
: Gratis claim that Pattisons plurality
, approximates $4,000 which would elect
= the entire Democratic ticket. Repub-
. |
+ two and five majority in the senate
a and from 10 to Is in the house. while
the Democrats claim five in the SEN
ate and 27 in the house.
The city reform party's plurality in
Philadelphia is 43.333 for sheriff; and
the fusionist candidate for state treas
urer Derry carried the city by over
$4,000 plurality. The upheaval was
l the greatest in Pennsylvania for many
years.
The Maryland legislature situation
. is in doubt. In Rhode Island the Re-
publican gubernatorial candidate has
plurality estimated at 5000. and
Providence elects Republican mayor
for the first time in many years. In
Massachusetts Democratic threats are
a made for recount of the votes on
lieutenant governor, though Draper for
lieutenant governor got less than q
g 900 plurality. The Democrats gained
three senators and one representative
n in the legislature.
Every candidate of the Union Labor
T. party in San Francisco was elected by
n a substantial majority. In Salt Lake
Is the anti-MOrmOn victory is made COM
}, plete by the election of the entire
American party ticket.
u The Kentucky legislature. which will
elect a successor to Senator Black
IS burn, apparently will include 81 Dem
V, ocrats, Republicans and two doubt
.e ful in the house. The Democrats elect
r. ed a mayor in Louisville by about g.
r. 500.
" Nebraska was carried by the Repub-
n licans. Returns from other states and
n. cities show no notable changes.
