LEGISLATURE REPUBLICAN.

The State OF New York elected Charles
J.. Hughes, Republican, its Governor yes
terday by the very substantial plurality
Of SO 5000. The remainder Of the State ticket
seems also to be elected, although Mr.. Hearst
ran sadly behind the other nominees in the
Democratic column. The feature Of the
voting was the big poll for Mr.. Hearst in
the large cities and in the manufacturing
towns.
Such cities as Buffalo, Rochester, Elmira;
Osweso, Rome and ~PoHkhkeepsie gave
materially reduced Republican majorities.
In the western part Of the State this Re-
publican detection extended into the rural
districts also, such counties as Catta-
rauous, Chautauqua, the rural districts OF
Erie and other counties nearly cutting the
normal Republican majority in half.
New York city ave a large vote for Mr..
Hearst; Kings county gave him a small
plurality, Queens gave him about the same
vote it gave Coler four years g and
Richmond shows a large Republican loss.
W~estohester county made IN astonishing
Republican gain and there were good gains
for the Republicans in jefferson; Nassau;
Oneida and Suffolk.
There were Republican losses also in the
Legislature. and some Congress districts
which were supposed to be sure Republican
are in doubt.

plurality. which is n heavy loss compared
with his plurality OF three years ~ T
voting has peer heavy and h number

The only returns on congressman are

that r. W. Hamilton is elected. ,
In the First district s. G. Tracey, Demo-

man Dawson, Republican, claims reelection
by a small plurality. The district is also
claimed by Ball, the Democratic nominee.
The Democrats concede the election OF the
rest OF the Republican delegation.

Hearst's Leaguers GIOat over the Defeat
OF Democrats.

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-Incomplete returns
show that the Republicans have elected
the State ticket by a majority OF about
2O, 900.
Heavy votes we're polled in every county,
and in only a few did the Democratic candi-
dates take a lead. In many Of the
ties the vote was SO close that the winning
candidates barely pulled through.
About $1,000 Of the plurality came from
Cook county, in which John M. Smulski
candidate for State Treasurer; ran con-
sideraby ahead Of his tick et
A feature Of the election was the heavy
Prohibition vote. Allin carried Sangamon
county by large majority and also beat the
other candidates In White and Edwards
counties.
The Legislature is safely Republican,
insuring the return Of Senator Cullom.
The Republicans swept Cook county in
the county and municipal elections ,electiDg
the entire Republican ticket by pluralities
ranging from IS 900 to 80 900.
John r. Smulski; Republican candidate
for State Treasurer, has a plurality in the
county approximating $4,000 and this May
be increased to 10000 by later returns, as

INDIANA
Hut Plural ~ Is Much Reduced From hi
Secured Two Years Ago

IDDIANAPoLIs. Ind. Nov. 6.-Returns
from a majority of the counties in Indiana
give the State to the Republicans by a
plurality OF from 1000 to 40 900, which is a
reduction OF so 900 from the plurality OF two
years ago. The Legislature will be N.epub-
lear on joint ballot, but the indications
point TO large gains by the Democrats in
members Of the lower house, but not enough
to give them a majority.
The returns from the Congress districts
indicate that the Democrats have made a
gain OF one congressman n that the
Eleventh district, which was carried by
Fred Lands by 5000 plurality two years
ago, il doubtful. The Democrats carried
Wabash county in hat district for the first
time since the war, and Miami county
which gaveL andis 100 plurality two years
ago. went against him to-day. There were
anti-L andis clubs, in which only Repub-
leans were eligible to membership, in every
county and the members worked openly
against him. The party managers believ
he in elected. but there il room for doubt.
The Indiana delegation in Congress will
probably stand ten to three in favor OF the
Republicans, but later returns may change
this estimate.
