known with ony degree of accuracy fol-
a day or two, it can be taken as fact
that the heavy straight Republican
vote in the big machine counties c.
Philadelphia and Allegheny has smoth
cred Munson's country majorities
When Berry, Democrat, won the
state treasurership four years ago by
$4,000 plurality he had plurality OF
$4,000 in Philadelphia. The Republican
nominee for the supreme court has a
much larger Philadelphia majority
than that, while Munson's country ma
jorities don't seem to run as high as
Berry's.
Stober, for state treasurer, and Sis
son, for auditor general, are elected
by good margins, though they received
nowhere near the normal Republican
vote.
No attempt was made to gather re
turns through the state on the ten
proposed constitutional amendments
but it is regarded as pretty certain
that they have carried, with the posi-
bic exception of number seven, which
carried a provision allowing the ap
pointment of election officers in cities
Number seven was cut heavily every
where.

Republicans Garry Massachusetts by
Reduced Plurality.
Boston, Nov 8. = The Republican
state ticket was again successful at
the polls, but it has been some years
eince the head of the ticket has been
elected by so small plurality.
Returns indicate that Governor
Eben F. Diapers plurality over James
H. Vahey, Democrat, is less than 5000,
and Lieutenant Governor rockingham
only beat out Eugene H. Foss, his
Democratic opponent, by about 5000.
Last year Draper defeated Vahey by
100000 Vahey made big gains because
of Diapers alleged feeling toward or
ganized labor; the straddle of the Re-
publican convention on the income tax
amendment; the failure of. congress to
revise the tariff downwa-1. and the
increased cost of living. These were
points that Valley dwelt upon in his
campaign, and they brought him many
votes from the laboring classe3.
Draper came out of the towns, the
Republican strongholds of the state,
with about $4,000 plurality, while
Valley carried Boston by approximate
lv 1880.

Samuel L. Shank Elected Mayor Of
indianapolis.
Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 3.-Samuel
Lewis Shank, the auctioneer candidate
of the Republicans, who began his
business life as the driver of deliv-
cry wagon, wa selected mayor of this
city by majority of about 1900 over
Charles Gauss, his Democratic oppon-
ent. The entire Republican ticket is
elected.
The closing days of the campaign
conferred entirely upon the moral as.
poets of the race, and the temperance
people generally came gradually to the
support of Shank, under the belief that
the election of Gauss would mean the
triumph of the brewery element and
give that class complete control of
the city.
The most notable Republican victory
in Indiana appears to have been won
i'll the city of Fort Wayne, where the
Berghoff brewery interests nominated
a man by the name of Schmidt for
mayor on the Democratic ticket The
Republicans nominated a man named
Grice. The campaign was waged
against the saloon influences that have
so lonf dominated that city, and the
Republicans elected their candidate by
a majority of about 800.

stationed early in the day at a Third

however, proved such an attraction to
the East Side crowd that the police
were called upon to dispense the

are they were Scotch spooks,

them.
