The Democrats carried Maryland, Mississippi, Virginia and Nebraska, the latter beinr won after a hard campaign, In which William Jennings Bryan took an active part. Great interest was manifested in the outcome all over the country despite the fact that this is an "off year." TAMMANY WINS IN GOTHAM. Chairman Robert Mnz t Defeated For the Assembly. . . New York, Nov. 8 The receipt of later returns of yesterday's election in this city and state shows practically no changes in the figures given out last night In New York county the entire regular Democratic ticket 'was elected by pluralities averaging about 50,000. Of the assembly districts iu New York county, the Democrats elected 31 assem blymen, a gain of four. The Republi cans will probably have a majority of B4 in the assembly, a Republicau gain Of 10. In Kings county (Brooklyn) the Dim ocratic ticket was elected by. pluralities averaging 14.000, except that Gray, '(Dem.) for registrar, was aefiated Dy Howe (Rep.) by lbs votes. I his was due to internal strife iu the party, a number of the Democratic leaders uav ing tractically withheld support Ironi o-ray. Practically all political interest in cm city and even throughout the stat'i i now centered in the question yis to whether or not there will be a couu-tt made by Robert Mazet (R'ep ), vio ws defeated yesterday by 41)0 voLs by Perez M. Stewart, Tammany atrd Citi zens' Union candidate for assembly in the Nineteenth New Yoik district. While the Republicans admit that Perez M. Stewart received the greater number of votes in the Nineteenth as sembly 4isrrict they unanimously de clare that Mazet will again occupy bis seat in the assembly. Stewart's plural ity is less than the number of alleged fraudulent votes cast in the district for the Tammany ticket. It was announced that Mazet would mase a contest ana there was ample evidence to justify a Republican legislature in throwiug out more than 400 votes which were cast against him. . REPUBLICANS CARRY OHIO. Plurality of Nash May Rxach Sixty Thousand Vots. Coixmbus. O., Nov. S. The Demo cratic state committee has no additional returns today and nothing to announce. It is understood that Mr. McLean may make a short statement soon bearing on the causes that brought about the re sult Juige Nash, the governor-elect, has received many congratulations, es pecially over carrying his own county of Franklin by over 53,000. The county was carried by the Democrats for gov ernor by 1.800 two years ago. . Chairman Dick today has revised his figures so as to claim from 55,000 to 60, 000 Dlurality for Judge Nash for gov ernor and the rest of the Republican state ticket and an unusually large ma jority in both branches of the legis latnre. No senator, however, is to be elected by this legislature. The total vote was perhaps exceeded onlv at the last presidential electiou. I will reach 920.000, as compared with 794,000 last year and 864 000 in 1 Vl7 with which year tbuvote was compared The pluralitv of Judge A ash -exceeds that of President McKinley in 181-G au; almost doubles that of (jovercor Bush nell in 1897- The Jones vote, although the larges. ever polled for a third candidate is not regarded as large today as indicated iu the earlier returns last night It is not iikely to exceed 100,000 and almost half f this vote was cast in Cleveland, Cin cinnati and Toledo. t The senate stands 19 Republicans, 8 Democrats, 4 doubtful, including 3 from Hamilton county. The house stands 58 Republicans, 34 Democrats and 1? doubtful, including the 10 members fjrom Hamilton. CO., NEW YORK. REPUBLICAN GAINS SHOWN. Democrats Lose a Number of Cities In N'W York State. Albany, Nov. 8. The result of the election in the state shows Republican gains in assemblymen and a gain of mu nicipal offices in many of the cities. In Albany, which is normally Demo cratic, only three Democrats have been elected on the city and county tickets and the common council is Republican. In Troy, the mayor elected is an inde pendent Democrat, elected to succeed juayor Mouoy, wno Is a member or tno State Democratic committee. In Rochester, the Republican organ izatioa, headed by George W. Aldrich, elected their candidate for mayor over the present Democratic mayor, who was raturned twice by large pluralities. In the city of Amsterdam, a Demo cratic mayor is replaced by a Republi can, Samuel Fallin. The Democrats re-elected Da Witt mayor of Binghamp ton by a plurality of 2.i0. In Syracuse the Republicans did not gain, former Attorney General Han cock, the candidate for mayor, being defeated by the present mayor,' Maguire. In Utica, the Republicans gained, but the Democrats still control. In the city of Rensalaer, the Demo crats gained, electing the mayor. In the assembly the Republicans will have more members than their most sanguine leaders claimed before election. TAYLOR DEFEATS GOEBEL. Republicans Carry Kentucky ; by a Small Plurality. Louisville, Nov. 8. With returns from all . but 13 counties in the state, some of which are unofficial, and with the vote of 1897 as the basis of calcula tion, at the same ratio of Republican gains, Taylor's plurality in the state figures 6,700.' . ; , A majority of the missing counties aro from the Eleventh district, which is largely Republican. At Republican headquarters it is still maintained that Taylor's plurality will reach 15,000. Complete returns from every precinct In the city of Louisville give Goebel 15, 606; Brown, 2.749, and Taylor, 1S.S60, giving Taylor a plurality of 3,254. Chairman Blackburn of the Demo cratic state campaign committee gave out the following statement at noon: "Goebel is elected by 3,000 to 4,000 mojority on face of returns. If oontest is made his majority will be increased. Legislature Is safely Democratic, both branches Democratic, majority on joint ballot not less than 20." Chairman Long of the Republican committee said at 1 p. m. : "We have received official returns from two-thirds of the counties', and these, based upon very com rvative es timates from the missing counties, give Taylor a plurality of abous 10,000. As the reports come in they are more fa vorable ann will undoubtedly increase the Republican plurality. Every effort has been made to circumvent any fraud, should it be attempted." REPUBLICANS CARRY IOWA. They Capture Several Counties Here tofore Democratic. Des Moises, Nov. 8. Election re turns come in slowly, but continue to b more favorable to the TUoK)iiano crovernor siiaw s ixvep.; piuram.ituicn last night was figured at 52,000, is now declared to be 61,000 by the Republican committee, the Democrats conceding 60,000. Comparison with the vote of two years ago shows Republican gains, al though the vote is much lighter than then. Several counties heretofore Dem ocratic, notably Monroe, have given good sized Republican pluralities. The 67 counties so far reported give Shaw a plurality of 40,301. Twenty-three conn ties are yet to be heard from. The indications point to Republican gains in the lower house of the legis lature. Cummins, candidate for United States senate, claims he will have a clear majority in the house and that the senate will be evenly divided between himself and his chief opponent, Gear. The indications are that the resnlt of the senatorial contest will not be de cided by yesterday's election and that the nomination will depend on the leg islative caucus in January. QUAKER STATE REPUBLICAN. Harnett Defeats Creasy For Treasurer by Big Plurality. ' Philadelphia, Nov. 8. In this city yesterday the total vote cast was 15,- 833. The registration was 218,354. The oontest on the state ticket was over the office of state treasurer, and Colonel James E. Barnett (Rep.) had 69,543 plurality over his Democratic opponent. William T. Creasy. J. Hay Browne (Rep.), candidate for the supreme court, had 90,874 plurality over Mestrezat (Dem.), but both were elected, as there are two vancancies in that body. -For state superior court, Mitchell (Rep.) had 87,485 plurality over Reiljy (Dem.). These figures would indicate that as a result of the attack on Barnett's mili tary record he wag oat about 10,000 votes in this city. The latest figures indicate that Bar- sett had from 110.000 to 120,000 plural ity in the state. The extent of the cut ting cannot yet be ascertained properly, but it is believed that he suffered the loss of at least 20,000 votes in this way. There was scarcely any sign of a fight in the state at large, and the vote gen erally was light. BAY STATE IS REPUBLICAN. Democrats Say Their Gains Indicate a Rebuke to McKinley. Boston. Nov. 8. The vote of Massa chusetts for governor complete is as fol lows: Crane, (Rep.) 168.876; Paine, (Dem ) 103,814. Republican plurality. The vote of 1898 was: Wolcott, (Rep.) 191.146; Bruce, (Dem.) 107.960. Comment among Republicans today was in effect that the result was an in dorsement on the part of the Massachu setts people of the policy of the national administration in the Philippines. On the other hand the Democrats point to the great loss in the Republi can vote and claim that Massachusetts thereby has entered a protest against expansion. Especial emphasis is laid on the fact that 22,000 Republicans re frained from voting. The Democrats are jubilant over the victory in Boston, which, after giving a Republican plurality for governor in the past three years, gave Paine a plurality of 6, 200. It is claimed that this fore casts the election of a Democratic mayor in December. The Democrats get seven scats in the legislature, two in the senate and five in the house. Maryland Goes Democratic. Baltimore, Nov. 8. Returns from the close counties in Maryland continne to come in slowly, but enough is now known to assure to the Democrats the control of both Drancnes Oitne genetc. assembly. They have carried the lower house by such a decisive majority as to make it almost unanimous, and have the senate by a majority of three. Full unofficial returns from Baltimore City give Smith (Dem ) for governor a ma jority of 8, 192 in the city, and returns from the rest of the state give his total majority as 11,295. Republican Gain In Khiishs. Topkka, Nov 8 Reports from yes terday's election in Kansas show Re publican gains throughout the state. lhe votes cast were for sheriff, county clerk, county treasurer, register of deeds, surveyor, coroner and commis sioner in each of the 105 counties. judges in eight judicial distriots, judges of two courts of common pleas, and two state senators to nil vacancies caused by resignations. Very little interest was taken in the election and the vote gen erally was light. Democrats Win lu 'Frisco. San Francisco. Nov. 8. The full re turns of the municipal election had not been received this morning, but a close estimate places the plurality of James u. rneian, (Dem.) lor mayor, at over 6,000. . The Democrats also elected the assessor, city attorney, recorder, district attorney, coroner, public administrator, lour police judges and lo of the 18 su pervisors. The Republicans have prob- ably elected the auditor, sheriff, county clerk, tax collector, treasurer and three supervisors. Light Vote In SIlsslsslppl. Jackson, Miss., Nov. 8. Returns from over the state this morning indi cate that the vote polled yesterday was much smaller than expected, especially in the country precincts. The total vote cast will not exceed 60,000. The Noel amendment is nndoubtedly defeated, although the vote is somewhat close. Many electors neglected to vote on the question, which is practically a vote against the amendment, as it must re ceive a majority of all the votes cast. Fusionlsts Carry Nebraska. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 8. Additional tnrns received this morning only servea to erapnanlze tne iusioa victory in Nebraska at yesterday's election. The fusion majority will not be less than 12,000 and may reach 18,000. Republi cans matte no ertort to explain tne -causes, although a number of leaders in this city differ with W. J. Bryan in his statement that it is a rebuke to the na tional administration. ' Dt-mocmtt Win In Virginia. Richmond, Nov, 8. The returns show that, the state senate will be entirely Democratic, the only member outside of the regular party nominees being W. R Shands (Ind. Dem.) from Isle of Wight. The house will be composed of 93 regular Democrats, three independ ents and four Republicans. Martin will secure the nomination in the party cau cus for United States senator by a safe majority. ' -.McKlnlfy at Washington. Washington, Nov. 8. President M Kinley reached Washington at 1 o'clock. Secretary Porter met the president at the station and gave him Beveral tele grams containing election returns. The president made no comment on the re sult, but his smiling countenance showed that he was well pleased. He and Mrs. McKinley drove directly toc the White House. Republicans Sweep Jersey. Newark, N. J., Nov. 8. Revision to day of the election returns shows no change in the figures of last night. The state senate stands as last year, while in the assembly the Republicans have gained seven seats, the division being 41 Republicans and 19 Democrats.

A caucus of dispensary advocates, headed by Sen ator Tillman, was held in Columbia last night. The senator tcok a promiaent part, promising his coadjutors to take a hand in the dispensary fight and make things warm in the next campaign. Senator Tillman stigmatized the row of the state dispensary as a stench. and he is reported as advocating a com plete change in the system ol govern ment. He is said to favor the abolition of the personnel of the state board with the view of placing the management ox the state's liquor business in the hands of the governor, the state treasurer and the attorney general. He also favors the abolition of county boards, letting the intendents of towns and county auditors and treasurers be the members ex-officio of their respec tive county boards, the dispensers to be elected by the people. : CROP OF 9,500,000 BALES.
