OHIO.
Columbus, Nov. a.—The statisticians
at the republican headquarters were
busy yesterday endeavoring' to secure
some accurate figures on the plurality
of Judge Nash, the republican candi
date for governor, and last night an
unofficial table of pluralities by coun
ties was completed. This shows that
in 57 counties Nash has 84,399 over Mc-
Lean, and in 31 counties McLean has
34,035 over Nash This gives Nash
over McLean in the state 50,31)4. It is
not believed the official returns will

mnke any important change in these
figures. No figures are available on
tin' total vote in the state, as the coir.- |
mittee sought to obtain only plural- '
ities. Notwithstanding efforts were
made to get the vote for Jones, returns j
have been secured from only 40 of the I
.88 counties. These include the coun
ties in which the heaviest Jones vote
was polled and show a total of 84,000. |
The remaining counties will swell the !
Jones vote to 100,000.

NEW YORK.
New York. Nov. S. —Returns from
state and city so far received indicate
that the republicans will have about
the same majority in the next assem
bly as in the last, the democrat gains
in this city being offset by losses in the
smaller counties. In 113 assembly
districts which have reported, includ
ing 29 in this city, 75 republicans and
38 democrats were elected.
The democrats suffered grave re
verses in Erie county (Buffalo) and
Chemung county, the home of cx-Sen

every county being elected but Gray,
4candidate for recorder of Kings,
against whom charges of corruption
had been made.

which was computed lirst. The re
publicans made a clean sweep, electing
city treasurer and other city officers
by majorities ranging from '.'.000 10
9.000. The republicans also elect their
coitneilmanie ticket, giving them seven
members and the democrats two. They

publican .ictory, the lirst in many
years.

republican by about 1,000. Black and
Milt, '<v personally conducted the con

from up the state increase the republi
can assembly membership to 93,

Thomas 55,670. Joseph F. Daly , fusion
candidate for supreme judge, who was
expected to yet many democrat votes,
did not head the poll for his ticket.
The independent labor vote, as indi
cated by the vote for John S. Crosby
for supreme judge, was 5,700. or 3,000
less than the socialist vote. The lam
many pluralities in the several coun
lies are about normal.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Philadelphia, Nov. 8. Complete re
turns from the 40 wards ill this city
give Burnett, rep., for state treasurer,
a plurality over Creasy, dem., of 69,407,
against a plurality of 74,7 is for Hay
wood, the republican candidate in 1895,
and a plurality of 70.953 for Bcacom,
rep., in 1897. The total vote cast yes
terday was 150,440, against 158,588 in
1895 and 145,047 i/\ 1897.
The vote on the question of authoriz
ing a $12,000,000 loan for the improve
ment of the city water supply shows
the citizens to be overwhelmingly in
favor of the proposition, the average
ratio of favorable votes being about
10 to 1.
The republican city committee esti
mates a republican plurality of 40,000
in Philadelphia, a republic.lll loss of
over 30.000 as compared with 1897. The
loss is due to the small vote oast.
In the state the following ticket was
elected: State treausrer, James E.
Ilarnett, republican; supreme court
judge, J. 11. Brown, republican; S. L.
Mestrczat, democrat; superior court

preme court and each party elect one
judge.
One congressman, Ninth district,
was elected. 11. 1). Green, dcm., was
chosen by a majority of 5,000 to suc
ceed 1). M. Frmentrout. deceased.
Pittsburg. Nov. ,8. Burnett, republi
can candidate for state treasurer, has
carried Allegheny county by 20.000, ac
cording to Republican Chairman l!oi>-
crtson. The entire republican state
and county tickets are elected by the
same majority, which amount practi
cally to pluralities. In the city of
I'ittsburg Harnett's majority is esti
mated at 10,000.
Philadelphia. Nov. 10. —Complete fig
ures from every county in the state
show that the plurality of Barnett, re
publican candidate for state treasurer,
over Creasy, dem., is 106,217. Ihe full

573, Caldwell (pro.) 16,863. Total vote

for state treasurer ill 1 5 97 and 185,941
less than the vote for governor last

NEW JERSEY.
Trenton, N. J„ Nov. 8. The returns!
indicate that the republicans have car-j
ried the state bv ibout 20.000 plurality,
although there was 110 direct vote on
a state tiekei. The republicans will
control both houses of the legislature'
by good working majorities and will
have an increased representation in ;
the horse of assembly. The republi- j
cans have elected senators in Camden,,
Gloucester, Somerset. I'nion and l-'ssex •
and probably in Salem and Monmouth
counties. The democrats have elected,
but one senator, in Warren. The sen
ate will stand 14 republicans to 7 dem-1
oerats. The democrats lost three as- i
semblymen 111 Middlesex and one in I
Salem, and the next assembly will be ]
composed of 11 republicans and 19 j
democrats, as against 37 republicans '
and 23 democrat- last year. The re
sult in Monmouth is very close, but it 1
is believed that the republicans have I
elected Francis senator and that the!
democrats have 1 leeted assemblymen
and county officers. The republicans
carried Cumberland for the assembly,
but the democrats elected the county
clerk and sheriff. The republicans i
carried their entire ticket in Middlesex
and Union counties.
MASSACHUSETTS.
Boston, Nov, s.-—Complete returns ;
show that I'aine, dem., ha* carried the ;
city by 0,190. Pnine's total vote was j
32 592. (Vane's total vote was 2'i,390. !
Last year Wolcolt, 1 op., carried Boston |
bv 1,897 over Bruce, dcm. Wolcott's j
total vote was 33,575 and Bruce's 31,678. !
These li cures show a loss to Crane of
7.011 and a gain lor i'aine of 902.
In the Franklin-Hampshire district
11. C. I'arson, an anti-imperialist who
ran on an independent ticket, was de
feated by the regular republican nomi-I
nee for the legislature.
Host< n, .Nov. 9.—The complete vote
of Massachusetts for governor is as j
follows: Crane, rep.. 168.576, I'aine,
dem., 103.814; republican plurality 65,-j
The vote of 1 si.'s wa-: Woleott, rep.,!
191,146, Bruce, dem., 107,960.
MICHIGAN.
Port Huron, Mich., Nov. B.—The re-!
publicans elect their city ticket!
and seven aldermen. The democrats j
el 'ct three aldermen.
Detroit, Mich.. Nov, 8. —The official
count from all of the city's 120 pre
cincts shows that Mayor May bury,
dem., has been re-elected to a third j
term bv 2.957 majority. City 'lrcasur- 1
er Thompson received 6.1.7 majority '
over his republican opponent and is re
elected to a second term. City Clerk
John Schmidt, republican, gets a third
term by 1.338 majority.
The democrats elected eight alder
men and ihe republicans nine, making
the cot ncil stand 19 republicans to 14
democrats. The election of two ot
the democr: tic aldermen will be con
to-ted, the republicans claiming crook
ed vvoil at tic polls. Justice 1'c.v.;..11,
a republican, was elected by 40 major
ity and a contest of this is probable.
MARYLAND.
Baltimore, Nov. 8. —Tlie returns from
the state are v rv meagre, but those
thus far received show substantial
denioctatii gains and indicate that
Smith, dem., for governor will have at
least 3,000 majority outside of Balti
more; that the lower bouse of the gen
eral assembly is surely democratic by
a good majority, and that the dem
ocrats will probably control the state
senate. The Sun estimates Smith s
majority in the city at 12,000 and i'i
the state at 15,000.
The democrats ire wild with enthu
siasm, while the republicans are cor
respondingly depressed over the result,
which they are inclined to attribute to
treachery among the followers of
Mayor Malsterand Senator Wellington.
The latter has taken 110 part in the
campaign and has not hesitated since
his resignation as chairman of the
state committee a few days agoto pre
dict the overwhelming defeat of the re
publican ticket. The gold democrats
as an organization supported Gov.
Lowndes, but they seem to have but
little if any effect on the resrlt.
Baltimore, Nov. 0. —Unofficial re
turns from Baltimore city ami all the
counties of the state show that the
democrats swept practically every
thing before thein in Tuesday's con
test. John W. Smith. Joshua lfering
and Isidor Ravnor, their candidates
for governor, comptroller and attorney
general, respectively, were elected
over the republican candidates by ap
proximately 11,300 majority. 'I Inof
ficial count, if. is thought, will not ma
terially change these figures. They
elected II state senators for four-year
terms, which, with four holdovers, will
srive them 15 out of a total member
ship of 26 in the upper house of the
general assembly. In the lower house,
composed of 91 members, the demo
crats elected 66, while the republicans
will have only 25. In Baltimore city
the democrats elected a judge of the
court of appeals, a clerk of the city
court, sheriff, state attorney, city sur
veyor and three judges.
NEBRASKA.
Lincoln, Nov. 9. —Complete returns
do not materially change the early
estimates of the results of Tuesday's
election. The fusionists carry the
state by 12,000, perhaps more, on the
face of returns from neatly half the
counties. They elect William Neville
to congress over Moses P. Kinl.aid in
the Sixth district, hut by tt reduced
majority, and gain slightly in judicial
districts. Chairman Kdniiston, of the
fusion state central committee, insists
that S. A. Holeomb is elected judge of
the supreme court by 15,000. The re
publican committee gave up the tight
and quit counting early Wednesday
morning.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 10. Complete re
turns from 87 of the 90 counties in the
state give Holeomb (fusion) 10.3,951,
Reese (rep.) 90,259, a fusion majority
of 13,692.
KENTUCKY.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 10. —A confu
sion of claims, to quiet which the olli
eiid count or perhaps a contest before
the legislature will be necessary, is all
that is left of Tuesday's election.
Above it all vehement cries ot fraud,
committed or contemplated are heard. '
Kaeli side claims the election of its j
ticket and presents figures to back up
the claims. These figures in some ;
counties vary widely and it is impos- '
sible to tell which side, if either, has
accurate returns.
Chairman Long, of the republican
campaign committee, when a-.ked fori
an estimate ol the Vote on the guber-j
natorial race, said: "1 have no esti
mate to give, but I can furnish the I
actual figures. On the face of there- j
turns Taylor's plurality is 4,130. Ali J
o!' the precincts have been heard from, i
Twelve counties are not official, includ- j
ing the returns from Kenton aud
Breathitt."
(ien. Taylor said lie was sure of his
election by a majority that will not
be less than 1,000.
A special from Frankfort quotes 1
Gov. Bradley as saying: "Taylor has |
been elected by at least 10,000 majority j
and he will be the next governor of
On the other hand returns from
democratic sources show a plurality
on the face of the reurns of about 2,-
000 for Goeliel. This they claim is to
be affected by returns from some
missing precincts where the democrats
can hardly do worse Ihan break even. |
Mr. Goebel aud Senator Blackburn, in I
interviews at Frankfort openly charge
the republicans with fraud in the i
Eleventh district, from which the re-I
turns are coming in very slowly.
Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 10.—The county :
returning boards will meet in all the j
counties to-day to canvass the returns, j
Gov. Bradley is being telegraphed by I
hundreds of republicans offering to]
come to the state capital to prevent |
Taylor being counted out.
The county boards of canvassers, j
which meet to-day simply count and |
tabulate the ret urns. The stale board (
of election commissioners then re
views their work and decides all ques- 1
tions affecting contested ballots. This |
committee certifies to the s crctary of
state tin' election of officers receiving
the highest number of votes, after the
decisions of the commissioners on con- i
tested returns have been recorded.
Under the Gocfcel law. The duties of
the secretary of state are confined I
simply to making public the result as
found by Ihe commissioners, the lan
guage of the statute being: "ft shall
be the duty of the secretary of the
state, immediately after the eompari- !
son of the returns, to cause a state-j
went therefrom of the votes given in
every county for each candidate to be j
published in two newspapers."
There is no appeal from the findings !
of the state board of election cominis- !
sinners except in the case of governor
and lieutenant governor. In case of |
a contest for those offices the matter i
goes to the legislature.
Louisville, Nov. ft. —The official
cot nt of the ballots cast on Tuesday
was begun Friday throughout the;
state In this city a large crowd gath
ered at the courthouse. Kepresenta- •
fives of all the parties were admitted j
by the commissioners and the examin
ation iif the ballots proceeded quietly.
Judging from the progress already
made the otti ial returns show 110 ureal
variation from the unofficial figures
which give Louisville and Jefferson
Counties to the republicans by a plu
rality of about 3.000.
Hi ere was no change in the claims
of 11n' party managers. The demo
crats assert that Goebel will have a
plurality of 5.000, vhile the nominee
himself places it at 7,000. Tin- repub
licans claim Taylor is elected by a plu
rality of 4,000.
VIRGINIA.
Richmond, Ya., Nov. B.—The indi
cations are' that the elections in Vir
ginia went overwhelmingly demo
cratic. In the most hotly contested
senatorial district, that made up of
Isle of Wight, Southampton and Nan
semond, the independent candidate is
elected. The vote was generally light.
Richmond, Nov. 9.—The returns
show that the state senate will be cn
tirely democratic, the only member
outside of tin' regular party nominees
being \Y. I!. Shands, independent
democrat in Isle of Wight county.
The house w ill be composed of 93 dem
ocrats, three independents and lour
republicans. Martin will secure the
nomination in Ihe party caucus for
United States senator by a safe ma
jority.
IOWA.
I)es Moines, Nov. 9.—Returns from
90 counties out of 99 in the state, with
estimates on the others, show that the
republican claim of (K),000 plurality lor
Gov. Shaw is easily maintained and
may go slightly above that figure. His
majority over all candidates for gov
ernor is estimated at 4K.000. which is
the largest in the history of the state
on the gubernatorial vote. I'.ased on
the vote of IS9S. the vote this year
shows a republican increase of about
3 per cent, and 10 per cent, for the
democrats. The legislature will stand:
Senate 35 republicans and 1 demoM
crats; house, S3 republicans and 17
democrats, a gain of 17 votes on joint
ballot for the republicans.
KANSAS.
Topeka. Nov. B.—Very meagre re
turns indicate republican gains in the
county elect ions held in Kansas. It is
predicted by conservative politician.,
that tin- republican g::in will reach 10
per cent.
In Shawnee county the whole repub
lican ticket is elected by a gain of 20
per cent, over last year. A very light
vote was polled all over the state.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
Sioux Falls, Nov. B.—The Sioux Falls
Argus-Leader, basing estimates on re
ports thus far received from points in
South Dakota, claims the election of
republican nominee for state supremo
court by 10,000 majority. This is
also the estimate of the national re
| publican committeemen.
MISSISSIPPI.
Jackson. Miss., Nov. S. —The election
passed oil' very quietly throughout the

ltiiklii««M In Canada.
Washington, Nov. 11. —The industrial
commission yesterday listened to the
| testimony of .Mr. Andrew li. (Jail, of
Montreal, Canada, a dealer in petro
■ lenm products. Mr. (tail's statement
i dealt almost entirely with the opcr
■ itions of the Standard Oil Co. in Can
ada. lie represented that that com
j pany has a monopoly of tin- oil refin
ing business in the Dominion and that
. it is impossible to purchase from the
company unless the purchaser agrees
to buy all his goods from the Stand
i ard refiners. lie complained especial
ly of the freight rates which he said
I are extremely discriminative against
Vmerican oils. lie gave instances in
which only cents a hundred were
charged on Canadian oil from Montreal
to St. Johns, whereas 24 cents was
charged upon the American product.
Mso the through rate on oil from
Vruerican points had been almost
doubled in the past year, the entire
increase being on the Canadian end of
the roads.
Mr. Call also said that the Standard
people were in the habit of sending
men into the yards of opposition com
panies and taking out snniples.
"Then the Standard Oil Co. practical
ly runs your country its railroads and
its governmentV" suggested Mr. Liv
ingston.
"It certainly controls our roads," re
sponded tin* witness, "but I would not
say so much concerning the govern
ment. "
He was satisfied that the polic\ of
the railroads and the freight rates
were not the result of a policy of re
taliation on the part of tin* Canadian
government against tin* United States.
He said that there were nine refiner
ies in Canada before the combination
was effected but that most of them
had been since demolished. The own
er of a refinery had told him that he
had received s»>."> 000 for a plant that
was not worth to exceed SIO,OOO. lliis
consolidation had been effected in IS9S
and since that the price of oil had ad
advanced from 12 1 /; cents to 17 cents
per gallon. He was satisfied that the
Standard company eived rebates
from the railroad companies, but dirt
not have the proof that such was the
ease.
