Tuesdays election resulted in the
defeat Of w. R. Hearst for governor
of New York by majority of fully
$4,000. The state never experienced
a more thrilling campaign. The re-
suit is accepted as disposing Of
Hearst as a political force in this
country since his defeat by $4,000 in
an off year when the vote is light is
regarded as equivalent to 100000 on a
full vote. Moran, who was running
as a Hearst candidate for governor
of Massachusetts. was also badly
beaten. The Tammany judicial ticket
swept New York City. That city
gave Hearst about 5000 majority,
but the adverse up-country vote was
$4,000 greater.
j. o. Davidson and the republican
state tisket carry Wisconsin by 10000
to $4,000 and the congressional del
egation stands the same as at pres
ent, with the dramatic exception that
J. w Babcock. republican, is defeated

Elver, democrat, to the assembly to
succeed Ernest N. Warner, republi-
caE who was defeated at the prim-
aries by A. G. Kroncke, backed
freely by the brewing interests. Rev.

man, prohbitionist and independent,

AS Viewed From Washington.
Washington, Nov. THAT the re-
publican party will have complete con
troll OF the sixtieth congress is indi-
Gated by the election returns received
up to 1880 this morning. James W.
Wadsworth, notable republican fig
ure in congress, was defeated in New
York.
OF 273 congressional districts heard
from at this hour, democrats have
made net gain of 10. These re-
turns show the republicans have elect
1856 congressman, the democrats lis,
of which So are from southern states.
No returns have been received from
113 districts. Indications are that the
gain of the democrats docs not exceed
the same ratio regarding remaining
districts.
Arizona voted against political un-
ion with New Mexico, which kills the
project.
Rhode Island elected Higgins, dem,
governor, and Pennsylvania chose the
regular republican (Penrose) ticket by

very much in doubt both committees

In Minnesota Governor Johnson,
democrat, has an enormous majority
of 10000 or more.
Hughes by 10000.
New York, Nov. THE Post at $3.50
claims the election of Hughes by
10000.
Woodruff's Estimates.
Republican state Chairman Wood
ruff says: Il believe Hughes plurality
above the Bronx is 10000. Hearst
probably got $4,000 in New York,
while Kings county gives Hughes
10000, that will leave Suffolk and
Nassau as a stand off for Queens
county, which | think we've lost"
New York, Nov. 1855 districts
outside of New York city give Hughes
220.10o. Hearst, 10000. The same in
1904 gave Higgins 249,O0O, Herrick
