Boston, No V. 6.-M-assachusetts repu-
dated Moranism at the polls in a no I'M
certain manner to-day. electing the Re-
publican ticket from top to bottom and
giving both Guild and Draper increased
pluralities.
At midnight the indications are that the
Republicans have elected eleven Congress
men. the same number they chose two
years ago, the Democrats carrying the
Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh districts az
before.
The returns from the Fifth district, where
a hot fight had been waged against Con-
gre ssman Butler Ames, had not all been
received up to midnight, but the indications
are that he has been successful.
Gov. Gu lids plurality over Moran is
near ~ 1000, while last year he beat Bartlett
by ass.
Draper won over Henry NJ. Whitney,
the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant
Governor last year, by i,s4l, but this year
he gave E. Gerry Brown, the Democratic
Independence League can didate. a much
more decisive beating. Diapers gains
were about IL per cent. over his vote OF last
year.
In view OF the hostile criticism Of his
views on labor unionism, much fear was
noticeable among the Republican leaders
that he would be defeated to-day and the
State committee is jubilant.
As was predicted, the knife was used on
Moran in the city Of Boston, his plurality
being only 13.Os2.
Last year Bartlett carried Boston by
II, 43o, and the year before Douglas swept
the city by 33, O7s.
Many Democrats voted for Guild and
Brown to-day, the result being that the lat
ter had a plurality in Boston of about Fl 900.
Tn conservative Democrats undoubtedly
voted for Guild. and Moranis managers are
angry over the treatment their candidate
got in the city proper. Mayor Fitzgerald.
who had been watched suspiciously by the
Moran people throughout the campaign,
first predicted a plurality of 80, 900 In Boston
for the Democratic Observation-Disclosures
dence League candidate. Then he dropped
to 1000. Last nights rumors that the
word had been passed out TO knife Moran
were verified at the polls to-day and he was
slaughtered in all the Democratic wards.
Guild got a total vote in Boston Of 81 1893,
against 80 ,849 last year. Moran got so ,3I5
votes in the city, against A., 0s4 for Bartlett
a year ago. Guild made a big gain in per-
centa ge all over the State, due to the heavy
vote which was cast to-day, and Moran
also gained in percentage over Bartlett's
vote of 1895.
Guilds gain outside Of Boston was about
ID per cent, while that Of Moran over Bart
let's vote was about 4 per cent.
There was a tremendous interest in the
fight throughout Massachusetts, and the
vote was nearly az great as that cast in the
last Presidential campaign. In Boston
nearly 30 per cent. Of the registration voted.
Guild gained greatly in the small towns,
and in the mill centres and factory towns
Moran gained heavily, but the Republican
candidate came down to Boston with a
plurality OF 10000. To Offset this Moran had
a plurality of 10 900 in the city.
Returns from 300 cities and towns out Of
32l outside Of Boston gave Guild 70,l4S
and Moran is,9ss, which gives the Re
publican candidate a plurality Of 9o,leO,
Nbut some Of the large mill centres have
not been heard from, and il is predicted
that Moran's gains will reduce these figures
slightly.
Senator Lodge telegraphed to Presi-
lent Roosevelt tonight saying that Guild
and Draper had been reelected by increased
pluralities, and that the Congressional
delegation would probably stand the same.
II Republicans and 3 Democrats.
Lieut., Gov. Diapers plurality is about
1000. Brown made a pretty fight, but
he lacked the popularity in Boston and
vicinity which 30 nearly elected Henry
NJ. Whitney last year.
After hearing the first forecasts after
the polls closed indicating his overwhelm-
ing defeat, John B. Moran folded his tent
and stole silently away. At a quarter to
8 he drove to the South Station and
took the S o'clock Merchants Limited for
New York. Even his closest friends did
not know Of his intention TO leave the city.
