NARROW CONGRESSIONAL MARGIN Forty-two States Choose Representatives — Penny- packer Governor of Pennsylvania and Odell Re-Elected in New York—Ohio Republican. The final returns do not seriously alter the figures in the general re- sult. The Republican majority in Congress will be at least 22, and may reach 25, compared with 41 in the present house. The Republicans gained in Illfnois and Nebraska and added one congressman each in Kan- sas and Virginia. The Democrats gained in California, Kentucky, Mary- land, New York and Missouri and ad- ded one each in Iowa and Kansas. It is significant that in the Middle West, where the sentiment for tariff re- vision was considered a possible danger, the Republicans lost but one Representative, and that in Iowa, where the party was most outspoken platform. Pennsylvania re- turns 28 Republicans and 4 Demb- crats, as against 27 Republicans and 3 Democrats now. On the State contests California is believed to have been retained by the Republicans with a majority of some- thing over 2,000. Colorado is claimed and ex-Senator Wolcott is "° SAMUEL W. PENNYPACKER, Governor-Elect of Pennsylvania. hurrying back to enter the campaign against Senator Teller. Nebraska is safely Republican. The Democrats appear to have cavtured Rhode Is- land. In New York Odell’s plurality is about 10,000. Tom Johnson saved Cleveland from the wreck and is out in active warfare against McLean for control of the Ohio Democracy in the next national convention. One of the most curious results is- in Delaware, where the Republicans have won the Legislature, but find themselves in the same position as before. Addicks still controls enough members to prevent the election of anyone to the Senate. The net re- sult of his influence has been to give the Democrats a Congressman. A significant feature of the general election returns is the way in which the western states lost to the Repub- lican party on the silver issue are changing. The Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Washington, Nebras- ka, and Colorado have ranged them- selves in the Republican column again. Returns from forty-two states show that the next congress will have a Re- publican majority. The membership of the house is 386. The next con- gress will stand: Republican, 204; Democrat, 179, with three, the Eighth Tennessee and the First and Second California districts to hear from yet. In Pennsylvania Samuel W. Penny- packer’s plurality is about 135,000. In New York the returns indicate that Governor Odell has been re-elect- ed by a plurality ranging between 11,000 and 12,000. Ohio presented the surprise of the year by resuming her place at the head of the Republican states with a majority for the state ticket approxi- mating 100,000. PENNSYLVANIA. Republicans Have Majority in Both Branches of Legislature. Practically complete returns from the state indicate a plurality for Samuel W. Pennypacker (R.), for gov- ernor, of ahout 135,000.

Dickerman, Six- teenth district, and Joseph H. Shull, Twenty-sixth district. The incoming house of representatives will be made up of 157 Republicans and 47 Demo- crats, and the senate will contain 39 Republicans and 11 Democrats. On joint ballot 128 votes are required to elect a United States senator, and Boise Penrose claims to have elected more than enough members pledged to him to insure his re-election to the. senate in January next. Complete returns from all but ten counties in Pennsylvania show a Republican plu- rality for governor of 93.255. Of the 10 missing counties eight are Repub- lican and two Democratic. The eight Republican counties show an estimai- ed plurality for Pennypacker of 43,- 800, while the Democratic counties give an estimated plurality for Patti son of 2,600, a net Republican plural- ity in the missing counties of 41,200, or a total plurality for Pennypacker in the state of 134,455.

Aliegheny County.—Gives Penny- packer 30,000 plurality. The Democratic-Citizens Fusion | ticket carried the county by majority of 7,000, and claims to have elected four Congressmen, both State Sena- tors, and all the members of the Leg- islature, except three. It will re- quire the official count to decide who is elected.

Graham and about 1,- 200 to the fusion county ticket. Armstrong County.—The Republi, can state and county ticket will carry the coundy with 1,500 plurality.

Eighteen of the Twenty-One Congress: men Claimed by Repubiicans. A Republican plurality of aboul 90,000 was the main outcome of tae election in Ohio. Sixteen Republican and four Democratic represcntatives, and one district, the Thirteenth, in doubt. As a result of the' election Ohio takes rank as the chief Republi- can state of the Union. All the other Republican states showed a falling off, as compared with previous rec- ords. Ohio Republicans had one of the largest pluralities in the history of the state. With more complete returns the Re- publicans claim their plurality on the state ticket will approximate 100,0C0, and that the Ohio congressmen stand 17 Republicans to four Democrats, as in the last congress. The pluralities in all of the four Democratic districts were greatly reduced, and in the Re- publican districts increased. The only changes were in the Twelfth and Thirteenth districts, and they offset each other. The Democrats gained: the Twelfth by clecting Judge DeWitt C. Badger over Cyrus Huling, and lose 5 the Thirteenth by the defeat of Dr. James A. Norton, who has been in congress many years. The plurality of A. H. Jackson over Norton was 647, but the result was not close in other districts. The Republicans car- ried 62 of the 8S counties. The Re- publicans carried the First, Second, Third, Sixth, Seventh, Kighth, Ninth, Tenth, Fleventh, Thirteenth, Four- teenth, Fifteenth, Sixtcenth, Right- eenth, Nineteenth, Twentieth and Twenty-first and the Democrats the Fourth, Fifth, Twelfth and Seven- teenth districts.

By He revised figures Governor Odell, '8f New York, ‘has a plurality of 12,887. President Roosevelt has sent him this message: “From what we hear now, I think I can safely con- gratulate you and the party, which I do with all my heart.” Senator Platt said: “We have to be satisfied. Odell’s plurality is not nearly as large as I had expected.” Mr. Platt said that the trust question and the coal strike had nothing to do with the re- sult. “The Democrats got togetner,” he said, “and held together, and a few Republicans slipped over to them.” At the Democratic headquar- ters Bird S. Coler said: “I think it would be a good thing to watch tie official count up the state 3 Suppose the Democratic ticket had received in the neighborhood of 150, 000 majority in Greater New York, there was nothing to have stopped the Republicans from claiming ihc upper section of the state by at least 200,000. I don’t mean that I concede the election of my opponent. I want to wait for the official count, for my latest advices are that the vcte is very close.” John A. Masen, secre- tary of the Democratic state commit- tee, said: “We concede nothing. Odell’s “election is simply a claim. We will not admit his election until cvery defective ballot or alleged dc- fective ballot has been scrutinized, and every vote that by right belongs to our party is counted. The alleged defective ballots uncounted for the Democratic ticket by Republican in- spectors are more than enough to elect Coler. We have evidence of wholesale debauchery and corruption in Orange, Oneida, Albany and Erie counties, and in the cities along thc line of the New York Central! rail road. The defective ballots and the chicanery practiced in the judicial districts where the Republican state machine bent every energy to elect Attorney General Davies are alone sufficient to change the result. We shall contest every foot of ground.” GOV. BENJAMIN B. ODELL, Re-Elected in New York. - Colonel Dunn, chairman of the Re- publican state committee, when in- formed of the report that the Demo- crate threatened to contest the elec- tion, said: “If they start anything of that kind we will give them all ihv contest they want right here in New York city, and they will wish they had never heard of contests.” Gov- ernor Odell telephoned the following from Newburg concerning the state- ment of Secretary Mason, of the Dem- ocratic state committee: “Let them claim all they please. I.et them cry fraud. I am elected and that is ail there is about it.” The New York delegation in con- gress will consist of 20 Republicans and 17 Democrats. The present dele- gation is 22 Republicans and 12 Dem- ocrats. In the newly formed Thir- teenth district, which was supposed to be Republican by from 5,000 to 7,000, Francis Burton Harrison, Demo- crat, was elected.! William Randolph Hearst was elected from the Eleventh district. Others elected to the Na- tional house from New York county are Timothy D. Sullivan, Tammany, and Henry M. Goldfogle, Tammany, who beat Charles Adler, formerly Re- publican = assemblyman from the Eighth district. This district wag carried for assemblyman by the Dem- ocrats, their candidate, Isidor Cohn, having a fair plurality. The Deraon- crats won four assembly districts in New York county. The town of Oyster Bay, President Roosevelt's township, complete, gives Odell 1,526; Coler, 1,657. In 1900 the town gave Odell 2,041, and Stanch- field 1,529. President Roosevelt's own district, the Fifth, gives a plurality of 31 for the Democratic state ticket. WEST VIRGINIA. Vote Light—Constitutional Amend- ments Ignored by Voters. The vote in West Virginia was light, not more than 75 or 80 per cent being cast. Returns coming in very slowly, and at midnight the result in but one district was known certainly. Meager returns indicate general Re- publican losses, compared with the vote of 1900. In redistricting the state for ccngress, all present dis- tricts were Republican in 1900, but two were Democratic is 1898. Demo- crats concede the election of Dovener, Republican, in the: First district, but claim all others to be in doubt. Dov- ener’s majority will be largely re- duced. In the Second district, John T. McGraw, Democrat, who was de- feated by Dayton, in 1898, has proba- bly wiped out the majority of 1,856 given for Dayton, Republican, in 1900, and appears to be elected by a small plurality. He carried his own county of Taylor, which has been normally Republican by 500, by about 200 ma- joritiy, and the gains in Monongahela, Berkeley and Mineral are suflicient to justify the claim of his election, which is not conceded by the Republicans. |- Republican factional fights in several counties cut down the Republican ma- jorities. The Third district is in doubt, claimed by both Miller, Demo- crat, and Gaines, Republican. Miller gains heavily in the coal regions along the Chesapeake & Ohio rail- road, but will have to overcome a ma- jority of 6,000. The result will be very close in the Fourth, but indi- cation point to the election of Wood- yard, Republican. In the Fifth the re- sult may not be definitely known un- til iate to-morrow. Johnson has made substantial gains in the interior coun- ‘ties that have been heard from, but the Republicans confidently claim the election of Hughes by from 15,000 to 20,000 majority. Five constitutional amendments were voted upon, but all but 5 to 10 per cent of the voters ignored them entirely. The election of J. L. Foreman, Republican, to the state senate from the Fourteenth dis- trict, is conceded. His majority will be nearly 4,000. The district is com- posed of Preston, Mineral, Grant, Hardy and Tucker counties. Taylor county gives Dayton (R.) over Mec- Graw (D.) for congress less than 100 majority. Grafton City gave McGraw a majority of 142. The entire Repub- lican ticket is elected in the county. On the basis of returns received Dayton, Rep., will carry Monongalia county by 1,300 majority. Charles W. Swisher, Rep., for state senate, will have 700 majority. Both Republican candidates for the legislature are elected by 1,300 majority, as are alse all Republican candidates for county cftices. MARYLAND. Republicans Lose Two Congressmén and one Slipped in by a Ma- jority of 100. The election in Maryland, which was only for Congressmen, passed off quietly. Of the six Congressmen the Republicans elect four and the Democrats two. The vote in the. Third district was very close. Woch- ter having a majority of about 100. The judges in one precinct of the Third district had a dispute because of the imperfect marking of ballots, and the ballot box was sealed and placed in the care of the election supervisors. The disputed precinct is normally Republican and will not affect the result. At Cumberland 33 out of the 39 precincts of Allegany county gave Pearre, Republican, for Congress 1,500 majority. He carried Cumberland by a majority of 443 over Kenneweg, Democrat. The combined Republican majority in the State is 8,000. Senator Mec- Comas received the following dis- patch from President Roosevelt: “Hearty thanks for your telegram. Maryland has done excellently.” OTHER STATES. CALIFORNIA. — Pardee (Rep.), probably is elected governor by from 3,000 to 4,000 majority, though the Democrats claim Cane’s elgction Lane’s lead of 9,000 in San Francisco is offset by Pardee’s big pluralities in the interior. The Democrats have elected Theodore Bell in the Second congressional district and W. J. Wynn, Union Labor, in the Fifth. IDAHO.— The Republicans sweep the state by 3,000, electing governor, congressmen and legislature. Hith. erto tig Democratic counties swung over to the Republicans.

It takes 103 to elect an United States senator. INDIANA. — Republican Chairman Goodrich claims the state hy 27,000. The Republicans elected nine out of thirteen congressm:=n and the legis. Jature is Republican in both branches. The result of the election makes sura the return of Fairbanks to the sen: ate. MINNESOTA.—The entire Repubii can ticket is elected by large plurali- ties. Van Sandt’s plurality for gov- ernor is 39,000 to 50,000, as against 2,200 over Lind at the last election. The legislature is Republican in both branches. PORTO RICO.—The election, which resulted in a Republican victory pass- ed off quietly. This was largely due te the fact that Governor Hunt sent 22 special representatives to adjust differences summarily.
