MICHIGAN PLURALITY
JUST LIKE OLD TIMES

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 9.-Michigan
went Republican by ~pluralities more
like those of the old days before the
advent of Bryan than the abnormal
ones which have prevailed for the last
sixteen years. Chase S. Osborn, of
Sault Ste. Marie, was elected governor
by $4,000 plurality. The remainder of
the State ticket had more comfortable
margins, the personality and business
record of Lawton T. Hemans, Demo-
cratic candidate for governor, having
pulled him considerably ahead of his
colleagues.
The Legislature will be safely Re-
publican, though the number of Demo-
cratic members will be greater than
since 1892. There may be twenty OF
them. The last Legislature contained
four. Representative Charles e. Town
send, of Jackson (Rep) who won the
senatorial Endorsement in the Septem-
Der primaries, is thus assured of cleo
ton by the Legislature.
The Republican candidates for Con-
gress all appear to have been elected
with the possible exception of DENLY
IN the First District, Detroit. In the
old lays this district generally was u
Democratic one, and of late has shown
symptoms of returning to that camp.

DELAWARE STILL REPUBLICAN.

WILMINGTON, Del, Nov. 9.-Dela-
ware successfully evaded the flood OF
Democratic sentiment which swept over
so much of the country yesterday and
stood by the Republican party prac-

in the Legislature-four OF joint bal

Incomplete returns show that ongress-
