THE CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION.
Chicago, 111. —Returns received up to
1 o'clock Thursday morning show that
the republicans have elected 223 con
gressmen and the democrats 163.
NEW YORK—With the official
vote of but three counties missing,
Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler apparently
is elected lieutenant governor on the
democratic-Independence league ticket
by a plurality approximating 1,700
votes over Linn Bruce, republican. To
arrive at these figures, liruce's prob
able pluralities in the counties of Es
sex, Ontario and Niagara are based on
the vote for the republican guberna
torial candidate. Fulton county is
also missing, excepting a statement of
Bruce's plurality over Chanler. While
slight changes may be made in the re
turns from several counties, it is not
believed they will materially reduce
Chanler's lead, but may increase it.it
appears that all the other candidates
on the democratic state ticket are
elected by small pluralities.
The republican managers have de
cided to make applications in the su
preme court of the several counties in
this vicinity for orders compelling the
production in court of all "void and
protested" ballots. These will be
in court.
m *'
CHARLES E. HUGHES.
It is expected that Herbert Parsons,
•chairman of the republican county
•committee, will have charge of this
matter for New York City, in every
county where a count of these ballots
is deemed necessary, the county chair
man will make like application to the
supreme court.
Very nearly full returns from all
counties o! the vote for governor give
Hughes 746,334, Hearst 684,722;
Hughes' plurality 61,612.
Hughes' plurality outside of Greater
New York was 136,338; Hearst's plu
rality in Greater New York was 74,726.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Complete re
turns from 61 of the 67 counties in
Pennsylvania and careful estimates
from the other six counties give Ed
win S. Stuart, republican candidate
for governor, a plurality of 52,.">;i:i over
Lewis Emery, the fusion candidate.
Samuel P. Rotan, republican, was
elected as district attorney in Phila
delphia by 40,000, his friends say, <ie
feating Clarence D. Gibboney, who
had the support of the reform forces
and the democrats.
The incoming legislature will be
strongly republican, although not so
overwhelmingly as it was two years
ago.
One of the chief issues in the state
campaign was the new capitol, which
was dedicated on October 4. The fu
sionists claimed that several millici.
dollars of overcharges and duplica
tions are represented in furnishing
and equipping the building. The re
publican candidates pledged them
selves if elected to honestly investi
gate those charges and to place the
responsibility for the alleged extrava
gance where it rightfully belonged.
BOSTON, Mass. —The republicans
after a short but spirited campaign,
were victorious in the state election
Tuesday, Gov. Guild being re-elected
by a considerably increased plurality
over last year, while his opponent,
District Attorney John B. Moran, of
Boston, the candidate of the demo
cratic and prohibition parties and In
dependence league, received a some
what larger vote than that given the
democratic candidate a year ago.
A Murder and Robbery.
Stafford Springs, Conn. Mrs.
Henry Williams, about 50 years
old, was found murdered in her home
near here Thursday afternoon. Rob
bery apparently was the motive, and
the murderer is believed to be a
tramp. The body of Mrs. Williams
was found lying near a stove on the
floor of the kitchen, with the throat
cut, head battered and a towel twisted
around her neck. Near the body lay
a knife and a club. Following the
murder the man made a search for
money, for the house was ransacked
and about SIOO in money taken.
With two-thirds of the state vote
tabulated, Mr. Guild's plurality was es
timated late last night at about 37,000.
The republicans re-elected their en
tire state ticket, although Lieut. Gov.
Draper fell considerably behind Gov.
Guild. The next legislature will be
republican by the usual large majority
in both houses, and this will ensure
the election of United States Senator
Murray Crane, of Dalton, who is at
present completing a brief term.
The Massachusetts delegation in
congress will remain practically the
same, although spirited contests in the
Fifth, Sixth, Tenth and Eleventh dis
tricts made the results in those sec
tions doubtful at an early stage of the
tabulation.
CARMI
COLUMBUS, O. —It is definitely
settled by later returns that the
Fourth, Ninth and Seventeenth con
gressional districts have gone demo
cratic.
Chairman Dick last night reiterated
his claim of a plurality of 75,000 for
Oarmi Thompson, republican candi
date for secretary of state, although
the committee has received complete
returns from only 59 out of the 88
counties in the state. Chairman Gar
ber, of the democratic state commit
tee, does not dispute Dick's figures,
but he is claiming the election of five
out of the 21 congressmen in the state,
the late returns indicating a plurality
of 48 for Sherwood, the independent
democratic candidate in the Ninth
district. Chairman Dick refuses to
concede Sherwood's election, saying
that with the result so close, it will re
quire the official canvass of the vote
to determine it.
Secretary Flickinger, of the govern
or's office, who came up from Dayton,
gives Harding's plurality for congress,
over ex-Gov. James E. Campbell, as
1,600. Butler county defeated the ex
governor, as he ran enough ahead of
Hardin# in Montgomery county alone
to have elected him.
Cincinnati, O. —According to the
returns, Thompson, republican, for
secretary of state, carried the state by
a plurality of 47,256. Thompson's plu
rality in Hamilton county is 8,671. All
the republicans on the county ticket
are elected, except the infirmary di
rector, by pluralities ranging from 581
to 3,502.
Returns indicate that Stanley Mat
thews, democratic candidate for cir
cuit judge, ran ahead of the rest of
the democratic ticket and that he is
elected by a plurality of about 75. The
circuit comprises Hamilton, Butler,
Warren, Clermont and Clinton coun
ties.
Cleveland, O. Cuyahoga coun
ty has gone democratic, except for
Herman Baehr (rep.), who lias been
elected county recorder. Returns in
dicate that every other democrat has I
been elected by pluralities probably
running from 3,000 to 6,000.
EDMUND A. JONES.
McGorray, for sheriff, is leading the
democratic ticket, with Addams, for
insolvency judge, a close second.

the entire republican state ticket have i
been elected by 60,000 to 100,000 ma
jority, the republican congressional

in the state legislature, with a possi
bility of its entire membership.
CHICAGO, 111. —Illinois went re
publican by over 100,000; the vote for
Smulski, state treasurer, footing about
120,000. Chicago gave the state ticket
Preacher Hinshaw Is Rearrested.
Indianapolis, Ind. —William E. Hin
shaw, a Methodist minister con
victed and sentenced to prison for
wife murder in 1895 and paroled condi
tionally in 1905, was arrested Thurs
day near Winchester on orders issued
by Gov. Hanly and was brought to the
governor's office to show cause why he
should not be returned to prison. The
complaint was made to the governor
by George R. Freeman, sheriff-elect of
Wabash county, that Hinshaw and
Freeman's wife have been guilty of
improper conduct since Hinshaw's re
lease from prison.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1906.

licans lost three congressional dis
tricts in Chicago and two more down

non, speaker of the national house of

four years ago.
ST. FAUL, Minn.—Gov. John John
son, democrat, lias been re-elected
governor of Minnesota by at least 40,-
000 plurality. The remainder of the
state ticket is republican with the pos
sible exception of secretary of state.
Minnesota will not send a solid re
publican delegation to congress this
year, as has been the case for a de
cade. James T. McCleary, representa
tive from the Second congressional
district, and member of the ways and
means committee of the house, has
been defeated by his democratic op
ponent, Win field S. Hammond.

TOPEKA, Kan. —Chairman Crum
mer, of the republican state commit
tee, declared last evening that there
was absolutely no question of Hoch's
re-election for governor by at least
2,500 majority. "We have returns
from 93 of the 105 counties in Kan
sas," he said, "and the information is
almost as correct as official. There is
no chance for Hoch's defeat."
Topeka, Kan. Although there
are still five Kansas counties not
heard from, it is generally believed
that Hoch, rep., for governor, has been
elected by between 3,500 and 4,000 plu
rality over Harris.
ST. LOUIS, Mo. —From nearly com-'
plete returns from all counties, the
democrats have carried the state by a
plurality of 7,640, electing all candi
dates on the jstate ticket and 12 of the
16 congressmen. The republicans
elected congressmen in Kansas City
and St. Louis, but lost all the districts
in the state which had been swept into
the republican ranks two years ago.
WHEELING, W. Va. —The complete
turns from the different counties in
West Virginia increase the size of the
republican victory. The congressional

Third district —Gaines, rep., 3,500.
Fourth district—Woodyard, rep., 2,-
900.
Fifth district —Hughes, rep., 4,850.

a single town missing, Woodruff,
the republican candidate for governor,
has a plurality of 20,709 votes over

joint ballot by about 30.
BOISE, Idaho. —Gov. Gooding is re
elected by a plurality of from 7,000 to
9,000. The legislature will contain 48
republicans and 24 democrats. This
insures the election of William Borah
as United States senator to succeed
Senator Dubois.
FARGO, N. D. —"We concede the de
feat of Gov. Sarles by Mr. Burke, his
democratic opponent, by a probable
plurality of 2,000," said Chairman
Hanna, of the republican state central
committee, last evening. "We also
concede the defeat of John K. Nauff,
our candidate for judge of the su
preme court, i>y Judge Fisk on the
democratic ticket by 6,000. We are
confident that the rest of the repub
lican ticket has been elected."
DENVER, Col. —Returns show the
election of the entire republican state,
congressional and judicial tickets and
a republican majority of 30 or more
on joint ballot in the next legislature,
which will elect a senator to succeed
Thomas M. Patterson. Simon Guggen
heim is the only avowed republican
candidate for the senatorship and he
has the support of the party leaders.
LOUISVILLE, Ky.—With only a few
mountain counties to hear from, and
these probably increasing his lead,
Gov. Heckhaiu has won his fight
against Senator McCreary for the
nomination for the United States sen
atorship in the democratic primaries.
Samuel W. Hager was nominated for
governor in the same primary by a
majority of about 15,000. The com

gram announces the death at
Cedar Kapids, la., of H. J. O'Neill,
aged 59 years, known as the "Barley
King" from 1890 to 1898, during which
time he was at the head of the O'Neill
Grain Co., which had offices in Chicago
and in Winona. The concern during
these years controlled the barley mar
ket and had under its direction the
largest string of grain elevators in the
world. At one time O'Neill was re
puted to have been worth several mil
lion dollars. Family troubles cost him
almost his entire fortune.

have more than five members in the
legislature.

party scored an overwhelming victory
at the polls Tuesday, carrying all the

tion in the next house of delegates. In
the last election the unionists carried
five districts and the republicans two.
The unionists won in a majority of the
municipalities.

waii went democratic, except for dele
| gate to congress, Kalanianaole, repub
lican, receiving a majority.
SALT LAKE, Utah. The re
publicans in Utah have elected their
state ticket by the usual plurality, re

the supreme court.
In Salt Lake county, where the
American or anti-Mormon party cen
tered its efforts, the result, is in doubt.
I The Americns have a plurality of the
votes in Salt Lake City, but this may
be overcome by the republicans In the
country outside of the city. The dem
ocratic vote in Salt Lake city shows
a falling off of probably 30 per
cent.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.—At 9 o'clock
| last night George Stone, chairman of
j the republican state central commit
| tee, said: "Reports from the state are
coming in slowly. There is no doubt
as to the result, it. is only a question
of plurality. Gillette has carried San

and the entire republican state ticket,
including eight congressmen, has been
I elected by a plurality exceeding 25,-
I 000."

ocrats slightly in the lead.

cialist labor and prohibition parties.

candidates.

majority of 2,000. Reports so far re

As Englishmen View the Election.
London, Eng.—All the morning
newspapers publish editorial articles
on the result of the election in New
York. With scarcely an exception they
comment on the close vote as an indi
cation of the popular discontent with
enormous combinations of capital.
The Daily Telegraph thinks the moral
is that Americans, while "not quite
ready to accept 'Hearstism' in full,"
are "heartily sick of being robbed by
trusts and corporations." The Mail
considers the result as an evidence of
"growing exasperation against trusts
and their tactics,".
