LY TO REPUBLICANS.
Indications Wednesday Morning Were
that Washington Went Republican,
Gov. eooding, in Idaho, was Defeat
ed-Hearst Lost Out in New York
Johnson Reelected in Minnesota.

Washington state has given the re-
court ticket handsome majority.
The majority may run up to more than
10000.
Spokane County.
Total returns in 81 out of 101 pre-
cincts in Spokane county compiled at
o'clock Wednesday morning show
ed that republican county candidates
led their democratic opponents by
from $50 to 1000 plurality. 1t was
claimed by Chairman Pugh of the re-
publican county central committee,
and not disputed by the democrats
that the entire republican county and
congressional ticAet was elected.
King County.
The entire republican ticket in King
county has been elected with the ex-
ception of Joseph Lyons, republican
candidate for state senator from the
Sixth district, and Williams, from the
Thirty-second district. While the re-
turns are incomplete it is practically
admitted in republican strongholds
that George f. Cotterell, democrat,
will run ahead Of Lyons.
In Idaho.
1t is shown that: Ada county has
gone against Governor Gooding by
about 500, though the legislative and
county tickets carried by some 2000.
Washington went against the governor
by about 1000 and elected the entire
democratic ticket.
Boise county is democratic, also
Owyhee and Gilmore, though the lat
ter seems to elect one republican to
the legislature. Canyon county is very
close on governor with chances that
the republican legislative ticket is
elected. Custer and Lemhi have not
been heard from. They are conceded
to the democrats. Cassia is close, with
chances favoring the republicans, as
is Blaine. Lincoln has not been heard
from, but it is claimed by the repub-
licans. Dubois claims the election of
his American party ticket in Bingham.
The other southeastern counties have
gone republican, Or eida by 1000 and
Bannock by 1000 Bingham is claimed
by the republicans by 1900 and Ere
mont by $500.

III WOH edilds
Incomplete returns from the state
of Montana indicate the election to
congress of Charles N. Pray, republi-
can, and Henry G. Smith, republican
candidate for the state supreme court.
Republicans appear to be making
gains throughout the state. The big
democratic precincts of Silver Bow
county, however, are not yet heard
from, but it is thought that the vote
in these districts will not be high
enough to save the state to the dem
ocrats.
In New York.
New York.=According to returns
received up to an early hour Wednes-
day morning, Charles e. Hughes, re-
publican candidate for governor has
been elected by $4,000 or more plurali-
ty. Outside of Greater New York, with
100 election districts missing, Mr..
Hughes had plurality of about 1884,
900. In Greater New York, with 90
election districts missing, William
Randolph Hearst, the democratic and
Independence League candidate, had a
plurality of 75,036. Mr. Hearst carried
all the boroughs of the Greater city,
despite the fact that the early re-
turns seemed to indicate that he had
lost Brooklyn.
Colorado Republican.
There is no reason to doubt the
claim of Chairman Vivian of the re-
publican state central committee that
the entire republican state ticket has
been elected in Colorado by majorities
ranging from $1,000 to 10000. 1t is
conceded that the republicans have
elected at least two of three congress-
men, and, more likely, all three.
In Pennsylvania.
The most exciting campaign in
Pennsylvania in 25 years has ended in
triumph for Edwin S. Stuart, republi-
can, for governor, over Lewis Emery,
Jr., democrat and Lincoln party, by
plurality, which late tonight the To-
cal republican leaders claim will
reach 1000 Aside from the contest
for other state officers, the chief in
terest conferred in the battle in Phila-
delphia for district attorney and in
few of the congressional districts.
Members of the house of representa-
tives and county officers were elected
in every county. and state senators
were chosen in 25 of the so districts.
Johnson in Minnesota.
The indications are that Governor
John A. Johnson, democrat, is re-
elected by $4,000 plurality. A. L. Cole,
republican candidate for governor, ran
far behind the rest of his ticket, the
election of which is claimed by from
$4,000 to $4,000 plurality.
