York-Reform in Philadelphia.
Washington, Nov. 8. - Election re-
turns received by the Associated Press
up to 2 o'clock this morning show that
the Democrats have carried the mayor
atty campaign in New York City, the
state ticket in Pennsylvania, the state
ticket in Virginia and the city ticket in
Louisville, while the Republicans made
clean sweep in Massachusetts and in
Chicago and Cook county, and have
carried their tickets in New Jersey,
Rhode Island, Nebraska and Maryland.
In New York Hearst has plurality
in the Borough of Brooklyn of almost
16, 900, with IA election districts miss
ing. The returns indicate McClellan's
reelection by several thousand plural
ity. Hearst has charged fraud in the
voting. Bird S. Coler was elected bor-
ough president of Brooklyn on the Mu-
nicipal Ownership ticket. The New
York election shows that municipal
ownership will be considerable factor
in the citys politics.
In Ohio the result is still doubtful,
though the returns up to late hour
indicated the election of Pattison, the
Democratic candidate for governor.
