York While Rest Of the Ticket Goes Dem
ocratic-Other State Contests.
The latest returns from elections in
the states outside of New York show
few important changes in the results
given last week. In Iowa Governor
Cummins, who was apparently de-
feated, has been reelected. The Re-
publican managers claim 90, 900 plura-
lily for him and the Democrats concede
5000 In Massachusetts Guilds
plurality over Moran is placed at $4,000
The remainder of the Republican
ticket was elected by smaller plurali-
ties. Rhode Island elected James II.
Higgins, Democrat, Governor. The
other state officers will be Republicans,
and the Legislature, which is to choose
a successor to United States Senator
Wetmore, will be Republican. There
was no choice by the people in New
Hampshire, and the election will go to
the Legislature. The entire Republi-
can state ticket was elected in Con-
necticut by large majorities, and the
Legislature will be strongly Republi-
can. New Jersey remained Republi-
can, but the Democrats made gains.
The next Assembly will stand 81 Dem
ocrats to 80 Republicans, and the SEN
ate 10 Republicans to 6 Democrats.
The Republicans retain majority of
on joint ballot, which insures the cleo
tion of a Republican United States
Senator. In Penns Jlvania the Fusion
party, headed by Louis Emery, Jr.,
was badly defeated, the plurality for
Edwin S. Stuart, the Republican can
didate for Governor, being about 3d.
900. The rest of the Republican ticket
was elected by slightly smaller plurali-
ties. The result of the election in
Philadelphia was keenly felt by the re-
form party. The principal fight was
made for the office of District Attor-
ney, and was bitter one. The lead
ers of the City party, which had eff
fected fusion with the Democrats and
Prohibitionists on the local ticket, felt
certain that ID. Clarence Gibboney,
their candidate for District Attorney,
would win, but Samuel P. Rotan, his
Republican opponent, carried the city
by II, 1874. The next Legislature will
remain strongly Republican. A nota-
blefeature of the campaign in Pennsvl-
vania was the success of the United
Mine Workers of America. This or
ganization entered the political field
- for the first time in the state. The
miners will be represented in the mex
Congress by two of the officers of the
organization and in the Legislature by
about half dozen members of the
union, all of whom were candidates or
the Democratic ticket.
In Ohio all the candidates ON the Re
publican state ticket were elected by
pluralities of about $4,000.
Illinois went Republican by over
100000, and the Legislature will be-
Republican, insuring the reelection o.
Senator Cullom. In Wisconsin the
Republican state ticket was elected by
about 50, 900 plurality, and the Legis
lature will be strongly Republican

against whom Senator La Follett,
made fight was defeated.

johnson, Democrat, was reelected b,
at least 40, 900 plurality. The remain
der of the state ticket is Republican
with the possible exception of Secre
tary of State. Missouri returns to tn
Democratic column, the party mans
gers claiming a majority of at leas
$4,000.

close, the Republican managers claim
ing the reelection of Governor Hoe
by $500 plurality.
