BATTLE OF THE BALLOTS.'
Results of the November Elections
in Various States,
SEVEN GOVERNORS SELECTED.
The I'.epnblicans SncccMfal In Nearly nil

ltpaM'eaii by tarte Majorities A,
! Republican Governor for Maryland
iaminirty M'Ins in Vtxr York City.
The November elections of 1895, although
held in what is called "an off year," excited
unusual interest in all the thirteen States
and in the one Territory in which the ba'.tlo
of the ballots was fought. In nearly every'
State there was a fierce fight within tno
party that is usually predominant, bocause
of some local issue and this made it almost
impossible to successfully forecast tho re
sults. Good weather prevailo 1 all over the
Union and because of this heavy votes were
polled everywhere. In many places new
methods of voting wcro tr.ed, all of which
workel Fucces-Jiiliy.
"evr York.
The weather throughout New York Slala
was fine an 1 favorablo to iha Republican
ticket. Full votes were polled in the cities,
and about two-thirds of the vote seems to
have been brought out in the country. Not
ono county went Derr.oTvtio above Harierr)
River. There was a marked tendency to vot
straight tickets in handling the blanket bal
lot. The number of spoiled bailot was sur
prisingly email.
FECHETARY OF STATK TArrrt.
Tiie Btate ro-eleots the present State of
ficers and elects Judge Colora E. Martin to
the Court of Appeals by pluralities of about
70,000. Tho same ticket was carried ia 1893
by about 24,000 plurality. Rochester Is the
only city showing Democratic gains. Re
publicans carried Rensselaer and Albany
Counties, electing Senators In each. , Rained
was elected to theSenate la the Forty-seeond
District, and Cotrgeshali. independent was
elected in Oneida. Nobody but Republicans
were elected in Erie County.
Senator Clarence Lexow was re-eleoted in
the Thirty-second District by a reduced ma
jority. Westchester County went with tho
jtepublican wave. J. Irving Burns was
chosen Senator against Charies P. McClel
land. Tho county went about 1750 Republic
can on State officers. .
The Senate and Assembly are now Repub
lican by good working majorities. In each'
House tho Republican majority has been
largely increased. The New York State Sen-?
ate, whioh will hold for three vears and vote
for a United States Senator in 1897, will
probably stand: Republicans, 37; Demo4
crats, 12; independent, 1; Republican mai
j.irity, 24. The Assembly will stand: Repub
licans, 108; Democrats, 42; Republican ma-
jority, f.5.
The Republican State officers were re
elected by an average plurality of about
ftf.000.
It is estimated that the proposition to ex
pend ? 0,000.000 upon canal improvements Is
carried. Tho measure is a Republican one,'
aud it is believed the ticket carried It
through. The canal vote was, however,'
very light in some parts of the State, and
the question was misunderstood in others. !
In New York City Tammany Hall elected
every one of its candidates for city and
county offlcos, ten out of twelve candidates
for the State Senate, thirty out of thirty-five
candidates for the Assembly, and Amos J.
Cummlngs, its eandldate for the United
States House of Representatives. Out of a
total registration or 281,008, lioratlo U.
King, Democratic candidate for Secretary of
State, received 139,901 yotes. against 87,379
for John Talmer, the Republican candidate.
Of the entire vote for all the city and county
officers Tammany Hall had a large majority.
Tammany Hall elected its entire city and
county ticket by pluralities varying from
18,000 to 28,000. It was estimated that the
Steckler vote would not exceed 7500,
and that tho Good Government
ticket vote would not exceed 1000.
Tho plurality in New York City for Horatio
C. Kins, Democrat, for Secretary of State,
over John Talmer, Republican, Is 43,000.
For County Clerk, Henry D. Purroy, Tam
: -any, has 17.000 plurality over Thomas L.
Hamilton. Fusion. For Register. Will
iam Sohmer, Tammany, defeats Thomas
F. Keating, Fusion, by about 25.000.
Contrary to all expectation, the new ballot
caused practically no trouble at all, and ex
cept in a few instances it seemed to give per
fect satisfaction. A unique feature of tho
.lay was the presenee at some or the polls of
women, who invited voters to cast ballots
for some particular candidate.
Brooklyn and Kians County gave the head
of th. f)fm.crri? State ticket. General
Horatio C. King, a resident of Brooklyn,
about P000 majority. Fourteen out of twen-ty-ono
Republican Assemblymen and possi
bly sixteen: at least five of the seven Repub
lican candidates for Senate wero elected.
The Republicans, it was said, had elected a
majorpy of the Board of Aldermen.
E-iward M. Grout, the Democratic candidate,
was elected Mayor of Brooklyn by a small
plurality. The vote for Shepard
was smaller than was anticipated.
Later the authoritative statement that the
entire regular Democratic city and county
ticket had leea elected in Brooklyn and
Kings County was made by John L. Shea,
Chairman of the Campaign Committee.
In Long Island City corrected returns
showed the election of Patrick J. Gleaon's
friends by a plurality of about 200.
Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania has elected Haywood, Re
publican, for Ste.te Treasurer, by a majority
approximating 175,000. against 135,14 ma
jority in 1S33 for Jackson, Republican, State
Treasurer. The six Republican candidates
for Superior Judtjes are ele-.-ted by majorities
slightly below that for Haywood.
Kinui.
The only State contes-t in the election in
Kansas was for Chief Justice of the Supreme
C iurt to till the unexpired term of Chief
Justice Horton. The election of David Mar
tin. Rrublicau, is conceded.
In tho county iections generally throuzh-
i out the State tne returns sd iar inaicate ive
I publican success and show that the Populist
have lost ground.

. The Senate will remain Republican, as
last year, and so will the House of Assem
bly. Tho Democrats made gains in the latf
terbody. Last winter they liad but six ol
the sixty members. Next Jointer they wil
have a membership of more than one-third.
Maryland.
Maryland went Republican by a plurality
of over 5000. The Republican "majority in
Baltimore will be narly lO.aiO.
Lowndes ran ahead of his ticket, but the
others' are not as far behind as it was be
lieved they would be.
Senator Gorman's own county Howard
has gone agaiat him. The Republican ma
jority there will probably reach 500. In 1891
it jrave Brown, Democrat, about 400.
The Herald (Tnd.) concedes tho election of
Lowndes, Republican, an I says his majority
in tho State may reach 20,000. lt also con
cede the election of a Republican Legisla
ture, which me.ms a Republican successor to
jSenator Gibson, tuid says the entire Republi
can State and city ticket is elected by good
majorities.
Lowndes carried Allegheny, his own
ounty, by a majority of about 1500, an in-

At 11 p. m. the Democratic, State Commit-',

Massachusetts. 1
A very largo vote was polled in Massa
chusetts aud Frederic T. Greenhalge was re
elected Governor by a plurality estimated at
70.000, against 65,000 last year.
The vote in boston gives Greenhalge 30,
786 and Williams 33,217; Williams's plurality,
2501.
Tho defeat of tho woman suffrage referen

are both arrayed against tho movement.

given 100.000 plurality to General BushnelL
General Anderson, Chairman of the Demo
cratic State Committee, admitted that upon,
the face ot the returns It looked like
plurality for Bushnell of at least 40,000.;
Campbell admits his defeat.
Coxey, the Populist candidate for "Gov

either party credited to htm. Chairman
Anderson, of the Democratic State Commit

The elections in Colorado were for county
officers. A light vote was east in many
counties, due to a snow storm lasting most
of the day. In tbe three large counties.
Arapehoe. El Paso and Pueblo, the Repub

will be fit least 250), which js nearly 1000
greater than of Rcmanns, Republican, a year

the Democrats cut him mercilessly.
Republicans have carried tho election by
pluralities of about 30,009 on the entire

Judge of the Supreme Court, has defeated

The Legislature, which will elect a Senator
to succeed Allison, will bo stiongly Republi
can in both branches. The Republicans
claim at least 70 out of 100 representatives
and 35 out of 50 Senators. Late newsoaper
estimates, based upon returns from all over
the State, place Drake'3 plurality at 30,000,
with the rest of the ticket running from 5000
to 10.000 ahead of him.
The contest was fof the Legislature and

follows: Governor, Francis Marion Drake;

Bar
W, IL Jvha- ton, Ex r, (appellant) vs. W. T.
Knight et aL, from Vane county. Opin
ion t-y Faireloth, C. J.
1. If tho done of a power in
tends to execute that power, that in
tention, however manifested, whether
directly or indirectly, jo9itiTtly or by
jnst implication, will make the execu
tion valid and operative.
2. A residuary devise will operate as
an execution of a power to dispose of
a property by will, aniens there is
something to hbow that such was not
the testator's intention.
3. As thcro ia nothing to ahow a
contrary intention, tho fact that the
donee of tho power devises to the
identical persons and no others, who
were designated in the will giving the
power intended thereby to exercise the
authority given her; and as the doneo
could not Lave devised the property to
anyone else, a rabiduary clause in such
will includes all the property which
the devisor could dispose of.
4. Where a will provides "that tho
balance of my estate be equally di
vided between A, 11, and the children
of C and I), and the children of E;"
Held, that these words require a dis
tribution per capita, as any other con
struction would do violence to the ap
parent intent of the will.
Aflirmed.
A. W. Shaffer vs. Bryan Gaynor (appellant),
From Beaufort county. Opinion by Avery,
J.
1. Testimony tending to locate the
boundaries of land by the general
reputation in tho neighborhood is ad
missible under any circumstances.
2. AVhero tho acts of dominion con
noted in cutting timber some time dur
ing a particular year on a piece of
woodland, but there was uo evidence
to show that the acts were continuous,
or that the land, though while covered
with timber, wa3 not susceptible to
other use and might not h;ive been
cleared and cultivated, rcgardlehs of
its capacity for proiitable production :
Held, that such acts are not such as
sertions of ownership as would ripen
into title.
8. Parol proof is not, as a general
rule, admissible to vary or contradict a
plain written description, but it is al
ways competent to show where the
parties to u deed located the lines and
corners by a contemporaneous survey
in order to deiiuo more exactly what
was intended to pnes. Henco it is
competent to prove that a contempor
aneous, but not a hubsequent survey,
located a corner at a place different
from that ascertained by following
course and distance.
4. Where declarations are made by
ono in possession of land, characteriz
ing tr explaining his claim of owner
ship, or in disparagement of his own
tit!e, they arc competent as evidence,
nol only against the declarant, but
against all persons claiming under him.
liut such declarations, when offered to
contradict a plain, unambiguous de
scription, are incompetent.
5. Where the defendant, with a view
of showing damages, offered to show
that one Liuke prevented tho sale of
the lumber cut by him on tho land in
dispute; Held, that it was not error to
exclude such evidence, ns there had
been no testimony to show that Linse
was the agent of the plaintiff.
t). Where the executions tinder
which the land was sold issued upon
:k-Mn crtatcd before the year lHf'.M,
title passed to the purchaser discharg
ed of nil liability to allotment as n
homestead. Aflirmed.
Howell & Jeffreys vs. J. B. Col. man and
wife (appellants) from Edge-r'ix-.-ounty.
Opinion by Faireloth, C. J.
1. Where it was admitted that when
Hie mortgage for $!,')') was signed by
the defendants it secured only $ 00,
ind that in that con lition the defi.-nd-iit,
J. I. Coleman, carried it to the
tore of the plaintiffs, the mortgages,
and where there was conflicting evi
dence as to the time when the change
was made in the mortgage; Held, that
the one issue submitted: "Is the
mortgage and crop lieu for l,0i):),
dated duly 27, 1KU, an 1 probated Sep
tember 1 '!, the deed of tho de
fendants?" together with his Honor's
charge that the change being admitted,
the burden ws on the plaintiffs to
satisfy the jury that Mich change wa
made with the consent of the defend
ants, or was known and approved by
ttem at or before the acknowledge
ment for probate and registration, was I
sufficient Loth in form and substince.
2. The i et that the feme defendant
admitted that she re.-id and examined
the deed when she acknowledged it for
probate is sufficient evidence of knowl
edge and approval of the change to go
to the jury.
No error.

GIa-.s t. al.. from Wake county. Opin
ion by Fair.-loth, C. J.
In an action for damages for breach
of contract in building a bout, where
the issue: "Did defendant, Glaa,
make the contract with the plaintiff as
alleged?" was answered "No;" Held,
that tbe plaintiffs right to a quantum
meruit iuqniry does not depend solely
upon the contract, but upon tbe ground
that he rendered service in work and
labor performed, and that question
should have leen heard under the issue:
"Was the bttil ling accepted by defend
ant or his agent?" and "Was the build
ing completed according to contract?"

In re the will of Frank Palmer, from Wak
county. Opinion by Montgomery, J.
1. After a will has been admitted to
probate in common form and lettera
testamentary issued to the executor,
tho Clerk of the Superior Court cannot
remove such executor and appoint a
collector for the estate without a hear
ing based u)on notice to ahow cause
why he should not be removed.
2. In such case it is the duty of th
Clerk, upon the caveators giving the
lnnd required of them by law, to
transfer the case to the Superior Court
for trial, and also to issue an order to
the executor, requiring him to pre
serve tbe property and collect the debts
of the defendant until tho issue of de
visavit Tel non should be determined.
Xo error.
State vs. George Darden et al, (appellant)
from Pitt county. Opinion by Clark, J.
1. Whero an indictment on it? faoo
was good and sufficient as a chargo for
stealing the temporary use of a horse,
tho addition of the buggy doea not vit
iate the indictment as to the horse, but
was simply harmless surplusage so far
as tho face of the indictment goa.
2. Whero sufficient matter appears
in the bill to enable tho Court to pro
ceed to judgement, the code, sect. 11R3
forbils an arrest of judgment.
