Be He-elected—Penusylranla and
Ohio Turn Up Bigger Republican
Majorities Than Ever—Little Com
fort IW Democrats North or South.
Now York, Nov. 7.—The election!
yesterday show overwhelming republi
can gains throughout the country.
In Now York Morton is elected gover
nor by about 140,000 plurality. The re
publicans will control both branches
of the legislature. They have gained
largely in their congressional delega
tion, not more than five or six demo
crats at most having been elected.
In the city of New York Senator Hill
has the astonishingly small plurality
of 2,649, while In Kings county Mr.
Morton has reversed the plurality of
16,000 given to Mr. Flower and has put
that plurality to his own credit, mak
ing a republican gain of 82,000. The
entire republican ticket Is elected In
Kings.
Pennsylvania has gone republican
by an overwhelming majority.
The house of representatives will
contain a republican majority. Some
of the old members defeated are Mr.
Wilson, the author of the now cele
brated Wilson bill, and Mr. Springer
of Illinois.
In Col. Breckinridge's congress dis
trict in Kentucky, Owens, the man
who beat Breckinridge after a sensa
tional campaign, is said to have been
beaten by from 1,000 to 2,000. Breckin
ridge treachery is said to have
caused it.
In Cleveland, where Tom Johnson,
the great free trader conducted a cam
paign from ward to ward and drew
thousands to his meetings, he is de
feated, according to his own estimate,
by from 4,000 to 5,000.
Connecticut is republican by from
6,000 to 10,000, and the congress dele
gation is solidly republican.
The Tilmanltes swept everything be
fore them in South Carolina. Tillman
will go to the United States Senate,
and the congress delegation will be
solidly democratic.
lowa republicans elected the entire
state ticket by 50,000 plurality, with
the exception of two judges of the su
preme court. The democrats saved
one of the eleven congressman.
Blood-to-the-bridles Waite, the pop
ulist governor of Colorado, who was a
candidate for re-election, was buried
under a republican plurality of 20,000.
Louisiana has probably sent a solid
democratic delegation to congress, the
planters' bolt having failed in the ef
fort to carry the state.
New York 140,000 for Morton.
New York, Nov. 7. —The Empire state
was swept by the greatest tidal wave
In its political history. Hon. Levi P.
Morton has been elected governor by a
plurality very close to 150,000. The con
gressional delegation has been changed
from 19 democrats and 15 republicans
to 29 republicans and 5 democrats.
The state assembly will stand 104 re
publicans to 24 democrats. The repub
lican gains have been greater in the
democratic strongholds in the cities
than In the country districts, but in no
county and in no town has the democ
racy held Its own. New York city
which was counted on for from 60,000
to 70,000 for Hill, gave him only 2,800
plurality over Morton. William L.
Strong, republican and citizen's candi
date for mayor, is elected by 42.600 over
Hugh J. Grant, Tammany's candidate.
John W. Goff, of Lexow committe
fame, is elected recorder, and the en
tire reform city ticket wins by hund
fiome majorities. Brooklyn, which gave
Grover Cleveland 30,000 In 1892, was
carried by Morton by 16,500. Five New
York city democratic congressmen
were defeated by republicans, and the
result was known early in the evening.
The r suit on constitutional amend
ments will not be known positively for
a day, but the returns received indicate
that all the amendments have been
carried, Including the new apportion
ment, which Senator Hill declared will
retire the democratic party for twenty
years.
Pennsylvania Is All One Way.
Philadelphia, Nov. 7.—Pennsylvania
was borne on the topmost crest of the
republican tidal wave and leads the
van of the republican majorities with
a plurality of 206,000 for Hastings for
governor. Out of sixty counties heard
from all but one show large republi
can gains, and, as there are still seven
counties to be heard from, Hastlng's
majority will probably be increased.
In the congressional delegation from
Pennsylvania, the * democrats In the
last house had ten members. They
have lost eight congressmen, held one,
and one is in doubt, with the proba
bility of the democrats winning. In
both the senate and house of the state
legislature the republicans have made
unprecedented gains and the demo
cratic minority will be little more than
a shadow. In this city the republi
cans elected every one of their county
officers with big gains over any pre
vious vote.
New Jersey Joins the Procession.
Trenton, N. J., Nov. 7.—The republi
cans have elected six state senators
and forty-seven assemblymen. The re
publicans have certainly elected five
out of the eight congressmen, a gain of
three. Later returns may give them
still another congressman. Both
houses of the legislature will be over
whalmlngly republican. McPherson
will be succeeded in the United States
senate by a republican, probably
Gen. Sewell. The returns indicate that
the following congressmen have been
elected In this state: First district, R.
C. Loudenslager, rep.; 2d, John J.
Gardner, rep.; 3d, Benjamin F. Robell,
rep.; 4th, Mahlon Pitney, rep.; stli,
James F. Stewart, rep.; 6th, R. Wayne
Parker, rep.; 7th, Edwin A. Stevens,
dem.; Bth, Charles Newell Fowler, rep.
Massachusetts Safely Republican.
Boson, Nov. 7.—The state goes re
publican, Greenhalge making a clean
sweep, with Increased pluralities over
last year, although with a somewhat
smaller vote, in part accounted for
by the storm and snow-blockcd roads.
The seventh congressional dlsrlct
gives W. E. Barrett, rep., 6,812 plural
ity over B. K. Hamilton, dem. John
F. Fitzgerald, dem., Is elected to con
gress In the ninth district. The repub
licans carry the other 12 districts.
One city and 21 towns In the
third congressional district give Wal
ker, rep., for congress, 12,528; Hagger
ty. dem., 0,935.
Connecticut Elects Collin Governor.
New Haven, Nov. 7.—lt Is known
thftt the republicans have carried the
state on their state ticket by from
6.000 to 10,000. Collin Is elected gover
nor. Besides this they have gained
three congressmen—Henry In the Ist
district, Sperry In the 2d, and 1111 l in
the 4th. Russell in the 3d was safe be
yond peradventure. This makes the
entire delegation republican.
Illinois.
Chicago, Nov. 7.—The returns are
coming in slowly, owing to the heavy
vote which was polled and r.o one
can give absolutely correct estimates
on the result of the election In this
Btate but everything points to n com
plete victory for the republican forces,
a largely Increased vote for the popu
lists with little hope for the democrats
anywhere. It Is now certain that the
republican state ticket Is elected
by a big majority; that the republi
cans have elected a majority of the
Cook county commissioners and thst
they will have a majority in the state
assembly. They have also elected a
number of congressmen If not most of
them. The republicans with a few ex
ceptions say they have won signal vic
tories everywhere by Increased majori
ties. Wulff, republican candidate for
treasurer, It Is claimed, will win In the
state by at least 20,000 majority. The
populists polled a vote in Cook county
of 25,000 and it 13 to them many demo
crats are Inclined to attribute their de
feat. It Is certain that nearly all this
vote was taken from the democratic
party.
Wisconsin.
Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 7.—The repub.
Moans of Wisconsin have carried the
state by over 15,000 plurality for Gov
ernor Upham and their state ticket.
D. C. Wall, chairman of the democratic
state central committee has just ad
mitted this and has given up ail hopes.
The republicans have made gains in
almost every voting precinct while the
demoreats have lost votes so that they
are down to the populistlc votes in the
cities. The county of Milwaukee (in
cluding the city) will give a republican
plurality of from 7,000 to 8,000 and the
election of Otjen, republican candidate
for congress in the 4th district is prob
able. The republicans claim the elec
tion of eight, and probably nine, con
gressmen.
Virginia.
Richmond. Va., Nov. 7.—The returns
thus far received from all parts of the
state Indicate that the democrats have
carried every district. The 6th Is the
most doubtful but the democrats claim
that Otey is elected. In the'2d and 4th
districts the democratic majorities will .
be very small. The Walton election
law, used for the first time, seems to
have given perfect satisfaction to
everybody but the populists, who are
Inclined to blame the new law for their
defeat. The fight throughout the state
has been between the democrats and
republicans, the populists not being in
the battle at all.
Maryland.
Baltimore, Nov. 7.—Maryland's solid
democratic front has been broken and
the republicans have made unprece
dented gains In every direction. It is
certain that three republican congress
men have been elected—Baker in the
2d district, Coffin in the sth and Wel
lington In the 6th. The democrats car
ried the 3d and 4th districts with Rusk
and Cowen, but by very largely re
duced pluralities. The Ist district is
still In doubt.
Michigan.
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 7.—Careful com
pilation of reports received by both
state committees indicate the elec
tion of John T. Rich, rep., for gover
nor over S. O. Fisher, dem., by from
30,000 to 50,000. The whole republican
state ticket is elected. There is a
solid republican delegation to con
gress, and Wayne county, in which
Detroit Is located, Is republican on all
offices, except treasurer.
Delaware.
Wilmington, Del., Nov. 7.—Tho Dela
ware republicans have carried Newcas
tle and Sussex counties, electing the
governor and congressman and giving
the republicans a majority on joint bnl
lot In the general assembly Insuring a
republican United States senator. Kent
county has probably gone democratic,
which would give the democrats the
state senate and block much desired
legislation.
lowa.
Des Moines, la., Nov. 7.—lowa elects
the entire republican state ticket by
50,000, with the exception of Judge
Granger and B. I. Sallinger for the
supreme court, whose opponents were
endorsed by the populists. The repub
licans elect ten congressmen, and the
result in the second district Is in doubt
with the in favor of Walter
I. Hayes, democrat, by a small plu
rality.
West Virginia.
Gharlestown, W Va., Nov. 7.—Day
ton, rep., has been elected to congress
from this district, defeating W. L.
Wilson. Miller has also defeated Har
vey In the fourth district, and the re
publican committee claims all four con
gressmen. The Indications are that a
republican legislature has been elect
ed This will give the republicans a
senator In place of Camden, democrat.
Kentucky.
Lexington, Ky., Nov. 7.—The repub
licans claim the election of three re
publican congressmen in Kentucky, the
Indications being that they have car
ried the sth, 7th and 11 th districts.
Denny, it is conceded, has a safe ma
jority over Owens in the Ashland dis
trict, Breckinridge's old district. His
friends say he will win by from 2,000
to 3,000.
Minnesota.
St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 7.—Returns so
far received indicate that the demo
crats are losing to both republican
and populist candidates for governor.
There Is no doubt of the election ol
Nelson, rep., for governor, by at least
20,000 plurality.
white republicans, who are strong in
the district, went for Tate. In the
seventh Judge Madox has had a very
hard fight. His opponent was Dr. W.
11. Felton, the old-time Independent,
who has cut such a sensational figure
In Georgia politics in recent years.
Moses has won nicely In the fourth;
he had something like a thousand
majority to overcome and has gained
all over the district. The other close
district was the tenth. The democrats
have rolled up over 12,000 majority in
the city of Augusta and the majority
against Watson, the populist leader, is
therefore about 8.000. Two years ago
Black had 6,000 majority and the popu
lists charged all kinds of fraud. They
claim thut tho frauds this year are
more flagrant than ever.
California.
San Francisco, Nov. 7. —Chairman
Gould, of the democratic state cen
tral committee, In answer to what the
outlook was for the democratic candi
date for governor, said:
"Budd, has to the best of my judg
ment carried San Francisco by 10,000
majority. As to the state, It has gone
for the democratic standard bearer. We
will get three, possibly five, of the
seven congressmen. The state senate
will be democratic and there will
not be a majority of any party in
the assembly. The populists elect a
number of assemblymen. To the best
of my judgment there will be no vote
for any one person on a joint ballot
and no party will get a clear major
ity."
Tennessee.
Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 7.—The com
plexion of the official rooster of Ten
nessee is not changed by Jthe elections.
Peter Turney, dem., retains the guber
natorial chair, a delegation of ten dem
ocrats and two republicans will go tc
congress and a democratic legislature
will return Isham G. Harris to the
senate. But the democratic majorities
will be the smallest ever known in the
life of that party. Two years ago
Peter Turney was elected governor by
a plurality of 27,000. This is reduced to
a plurality of 7,000.
Ohio,
Columbus, 0., Nov. 7.—lt Is evident
that the republicans have carried Ohio
by a greater plurality than was given
McKlnley last year. That plurality
was 80,995. The 100,000 mark will prob
ably be reached and passed. While
the vote on congressmen may not fol
low the head of the ticket closely,
this result indicates that the republi
cans will at least carry all the con
gressional districts they claimed—l 6
out of 21 —apd probably more.
Texas.
Galveston, Nov. 7.—Texas voted for a
governor and other state officers, a
legislature which will chose a United
States senator, and thirteen representa
tives in congress.
The News claims the usual democra
tic majority for state officers and the
legislature, also the election of demo
cratic congressmen In all the districts,
with the possible exception of the 9th
and 10th districts.
Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 7. —Georgia will
send a solid democratic delegation tc
congress. All of the doubtful dls
tricts have gohe into the democratic
column. The closest contest seems tc
be in the ninth district, where Cartel
Tate, dem., will have about 1,000 ma
jority. The district went populist in
the gubernatorial election but the
Mississippi.
Jackson, Miss., Nov. 7. —Returns from
all congressional districts in the state
indicate the election of the seven demo
cratic congressmen by safe majorities.
There was a populist nominee In every
district and in four districts prohibi
tionists had nomineees. In the othei
three the prohibitionists endorsed the
populists.
Florida.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 7.—The Flori
da Citizen estimates that one-half of
the vote has been cast. In the 2d con
gressional district Cooper, dem., Is re
elected. The populist vote Is small,
possibly under 1,000. In the Ist district
Sparkman Is elected by a large major
ity. McKinnon, pop., will receive about
1,500 votes.
Kansas.
Topeka, Kan., Nov. 7.—Returns in
dicate the election of Morrill for gov
ernor and the entire republican state
ticket. The republicans probably carry
all but two congressional districts.
The legislature will probably be re
publican on Joint ballot.
South Dakota.
Pierre, fl. D.. Nov. 7.—The re
publican ticket, including two
eongressmen-at-largo, is elected by
not less than 12,000 plurality. Returns
from legislative districts indicate that
the legislature will be safely two
thirds republican.
North Carolina.
Wilmington, N. C., Nov. 7.—lt is esti
mated that the democrats have elected
state and judicial tickets, seven of the
nine congressmen, with one district in
doubt, and that democrats will have a
small majority in the legislature on
j joint ballot.
Washington.
Seattle, Wash., Nov. 7.—The indica
tions are that the republican state
ticket is elected by 6,000 plurality. The
republicans claim 14 majority on Joint
ballot in the legislature.
Louisiana.
New Orleans, Nov. 7.—Returns indi
cate the election of five, and possibly
six, democratic congressmen in this
state.
Idaho,
Boise City, Idaho, Nov. 7.—-Indica
tions favor the election of the republi
can state ticket and the congressman.
Arkansas.
Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 7.—The indi
cations are that the democrats elect
all congressmen.
Criticism of the Late Czar.
Vienna, Nov. 7.—Dr. Lewskowskl,
the Polish deputy, Who tried In the
lower house to criticise the reign of
Alexander 111., has received numerous
congratulations from Galiela. Most of
the senders are workingmen, students
and women. The most influential
Polish newspapers condemn his con
duct. Dr. Wekerle, Hungarian pre
mier, refrained from proposing a reso
lution of condolence in the reichstag.
as he feared the protest of the na
tional independence pary.
A California Bride.
San Francisco, Nov. 7.—A. J. Mount
ney Jepson, the explorer and author,
who went Into Africa with Henry M.
Stanley and found Emln Pasha, will
come to California to be married. In
a few weeks the wedding of Mr. Jep
son and Miss Anna Head, daughter of
A. R. Head, the well-known million
aire mining man of this city, will be
delegated.
MINOO'S FIFTH HAND.
The Remarkable Things a Monkey Could
Do with His Tall.
I was standing- one day by the house
of a larg-e Newfoundland dog, whose
uttention was evidently much taken up
by a number of lusty puppies, writes
Charles Frederick Holder, when evi
dently I noticed a slendery snake-liko
object gradually slip out of a neighbor
ing- dog house, and insert its tip into
the door of the first dog house.
The shaggy mother within blinked
quite peacefully, and one of the pup
pies galloped toward the intruder.
Evidently this was what was wanted,
for immediately the object coiled
around the leg of the puppy in a gentle,
friendly manner and began to pull him
toward tho door.
The little dog protested after the
manner of his kind, but the visitor was
persistent, and slowly the puppy was
dragged out of his own house, across
the foot of space between, and after
some little scuffling disappeared into
the other house.
A moment later along came a kitten,
and stopped before the doorway of the
second doghouse, and out came the
long, insinuating object again, and be
fore the kitten could object, even had
she been so disposed, one of her hind
legs was encircled, and she, like tho
P u PP.Yi moved toward the doorway,
dragged along tail first.
She uttered a single plaintive meow,
which, understanding something of the
cat language, I considered more a
sound of passive acquiescence than
anything else.
My eyes soon again reverting to the
opening encountered a pair of great
brown ones, pathetic and mournful to a
degree, peering from beneath gray eye
brows.
For a moment the eyes looked at mo,
then seeing that I was friendly, the
head to which they belonged came out,
and there roso before me the owner of
the mysterious serpentine object—a
monster so tall and slender, so com
pletely given over to arms and tail that
I could only compare it to a gigantic
spider coming out of its den.
It stood up, reaching one long, atten
uated arm almost to my shoulder, and
THE MONKEY, TIIE PUI'PY AND THE KITTEN.
then I perceived that it held under tl. d
other the puppy, whose blue eyes
blinked at me in amazement.
Another step and out came the kit
ten, the monkey's marvelous tail,
which was like a fifth hand, still
clasped firmly about her leg.
Upon leaving his house Mingo as
sumed a perfectly upright position,
holding one hand over his head, and,
then occasionally dropping to all four,
ho crossed the little grass plot an*l
easily swung himself into a tree.
His long tall stretched out to its full
length, and by it he actually lifted the
kitten until, when four or more feet
from the ground she scrambled at tho
limb and aided herself up.
Mingo finally settled himself on a
bougli with the puppy, which ho held
closely in his arms.
Mingo, the Spider monkey, belonged
to a tribe known as Conita, and came
from the valley of the Amazon.
Mingo's fifth hand or tail was so deft
and cunning in all its movements that
one wondered whether somewhere
there was not an eye or two concealed
in the coarse hairs to enable it to find
its way about.
When Mingo walked a limb the fifth
hand was invariably caught on a
higher limb so that, when he lost his
hold, as lie somitimes did, with his
hands and feet, lie swung in safety by
the tail.
The tail was frequently employed to
inspect crevices in its owner's house,
and it could pick up very small objects
with the greatest egse.
When approached, Mingo would
often extend his tail and grasp one's
finger with it in a most confiding man
ner.
A Serious t'uHr, Indeed.
Few things vex a physician more
than to-be sent for in great haste at an
unseasonable hour, only to find upon
arrival that little or nothing is the
matter with the patient. An eminent
English surgeon was called to an
"urgent case" of this sort, and found
that tho putient, who was a man of
great wealth but small courage, hiul
received a very slight wound from a
fall. The surgeon's face did not he
tray his irritation, hut he gave his
servant orders to go home with all pos
sible haste and return with a certain
plaster. The patient, turning very
pale, said, anxiously:
"I trust, sir, thero is no great and
immediate danger?"
"Indeed there is," answered the sur
geon. "Why, if that follow doesn't
run like a racehorse, there's no telling
but your wound will heal before lie
gets back with the plaster!"

An Impromptu Tug of War.
Delata, Pa., Nov. 7.—A novel tug ot
war occurred at the Hotel Auditorium
a few nights ago. Constable Prymer
has for several years been looking for
a Mr. Wllmer Ber.nlngton, but he has
never succeeded in getting him. Ben
nington was in the hotel on this night,
and the constable endeavored to arrest
him, but failed. He called men to his
assistance, some of whom helped, and
the others assisted Bennington. It
then became a question of who could
pull the hardest. The Bennington aids
tried to drag their man across the line
into Maryland, and the constable tritd
to keep him on this side. The Audi
torium is situated on the margin of
Pennsylvania. Bennington was pulled
across the line, and, although some
what injured, made his escape into
Maryland.
I)ilke on France and England.
Paris, Nov. 7. —The Matin publishes
an article by Sir Charles Dilke on the
relations between Groat Britain and
France, In which the writer asserts
that the difficulty existing between the
two nations with regard to New
Foundland faces England rather
than France, but has not at present
reached an acute stage. Sir Charles
expresses regret over the warlike at
titude assumed by the French govern
ment toward Madagascar, which
will work injury to the most valuable
experiment ever made in native gov
ernment by a Christian population un
der the auspices of French, English
and American teachers.

the result. The latter said he might say
something later.
