Great interest was manifested in the outcome all over the country despite the fact that this is an "off year." TAMMANY WiNS IN GOTHAM. Chairman Rob -rt 3laz -t Defeated For the Assembly. NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The receipt of later returns of yesterday's election in this city and state shows practically nc changes in the figures given cut last night. In New York county the entire regular Democratic ticket was elected by pluralities averaging about 50,000. Of the assembly districts in New York county, the Democrats elected 31 assem blymen, a gain of four. The Republi cans will probably have a majority of U4 in the assembly, a Republican gain of 10. In Kings county (Brooklyn) the Dem ocratic ticket was elected by pluralities averaging 14,000, except that Gray, (Dem.) for registrar, was defeated by Howe (Rep.) by 166 votes. This was due to internal strife in the party, a number of the Democratic leaders hav ing practically withheld support from Gray. Practically all political interest in this city and even throughout the state is now centered in the question as to whether or not there will be a contest made by Robert Mazet (Rep.), who was defeated yesterday by 400 votes by Perez M. Stewart, Tammany and Citi zens' Union candidate for assembly in the Nineteenth Ne w York district. While the Republicans admit that Perez M. Stewart received the greater number of votes in the Nineteenth as sembly district, they unanimously de clare that Mazet will again occupy his seat in the assembly. Stewart's plural iy is less than the number of alleged fraudulent votes cast in the district for the Tammnany ticket. It was announced that Mazet would miale a contest and there was ample evidence to justify a Reublican legislature in throwing out more than 400 votes which were cast against him. REPUBLICANS CARRY OHIO. Plurality of Nash Miay Reach Sisxty Thcusanda Votecs. CoLttxnLs, 0., Nov. 9.-The Demo. cratic state committee has no additional returns today and nothing to anncunce. It is understood that Mr. McLean may make a short statement soon bearing on the causes that brought about the re sult. Judge Nash, the governor-elect, has received many congratulations, es pecially over carrying his own county of Franklin by over 2,000. The county was carried by the Democrats for gov ernor by 1,300 two years ago. Chairman Dick today has revised his fiures so as to claim from 55,000 to 60, 000 plurality for Jlud;;o Nash for gov ernor and the rest of the Republican state ticket and an unusually large ma jority in both branches of the legis lature. No senator, however, is to be selected by this legislature. The total vote was perhaps exceeded only at the last presidential election. It will reach 920,000, as compared with 704,000 last year and 64,000) in 1897, with which year the vote was compared. The plurality of Judge Nash exceeds that of President McKinley mn 1806 and almost doubles that of Governor Bush nell in 1697. The Jones vote, although the largest ever polled for a third candidate, is not regarded as large today as indicated in the earlier returns last night. It is not likely to exceed 100,000 and almost half of this vote was cast in Cleveland, C.n cinnati and Toledo. The senate stands 19 Republicans. 8 Democrats, 4 d oubtful, inclnding 3 from Hamilton county. The house stands 58 Republicans. 34 Democrats and 17 doubtful, including the 10 members from Hamilton. REPUBLICAN GA!NS SHOWN. Democrats Los" a Number of Cities lIn N-w York State. ALBANY, Nov. 9.-The result of the election in th~e state shows Republican gains in assembiymen and a gain of mu nicial offices in many of the cities. In Albany, which is normally Demo Icratic, only three Democrats have been elected on the city and county tickets and the common council is Republican. In Troy, th~e mayor elected is aninde . lMayor Molloy, who is a membr of the state Democratic committee. In Rochester, the Republican organ ization, headed by Georgo W. Aldrich. elected their candidate for mayor over the present Democratic mayor, who was returned twice by large pluralities. In the city of Amsterdam, a Demo cratic mayor is replaced by a Republi can, Samuel Failin. The Democrats re-elected DeWitt mayor of Binghamp ton by a plurality of L160. In Syracuse the Republicans did not gain, former Attorney General Han cock, the candidate for mayor, being defeated by the preseut mayor, Maguire. In Utica, the Republicans gained, but the Democrats still control. In the city of Rensaiaer, the Demo crats gained, electing the mayor. In the assiembly the Republicans will have more nembers than their most sanguine leaders claimed Lef ore o'ection. TAYLOR DEFEATS C'BEL. Republicans Carry Kent::eky by a LOUISVILU:, Nov. .-With returns from all but 13 counties in the state, some of which are uncfi hial, and with the vote of 1897 as the basis Gf calcula tion, at the same ratio of Renublican gains, Taylor's pluralty in the state ligures 6,700. A majority of the ni.simg counties are frcm the Eleventh district, which is large'y Republican. At Republican headquarters it is still maintained that Taylor's plurality will reach 15,000. Complete re-urns from every precinct in the cizv of L-nisville give Gorbel 15, 006; Brown, 21,7-J, and Taylor, 1.3,60, giving Tayor a plurality of 3,::54 Chairman Blackburn of the Demo cratic stato campaign committee gave out the followinz s:atement at noon: "Goebel is elected by 3,000 to 4,000 mojority on face of returns. If contest is made his majority will be increased. Legislature is safely Democratic, both branches Democratle, majority on joint ballot not less than 20." Chairman Long of the Republican committee said at 1 p. m.: "We have received oflicial returns from two-thirds of- the counties, and these, based upon very conservative es timates from the missing counties, give Taylor a plurality of about 10,000. As the reports come in they are more fa. vorable ann will undcubtedly increase the Republican plurality. Every effort has been made to circumvent any fraud, should it be attempted." REPUBLICANS CARRY IOWA. They Capt ure Se-veral Couties Here tofore Dincratic. DES "OINEs, Nov. .-Election re turns come in slowly, but continue to be more favorable to the Republicans. Governor Shaw's (Rep.) plurality,which last night was figured at 52,000, is now declared to be 61,000 by the Republican committee, the Democrats conceding 50,000. Comparison with the vote of two years ago shows Republican gains, al though the vote is much lighter than then. Several counties heretofore Dem ocratic, notably Monroe, have given good sized Republican pluralities. The 67 counties so far reported give Shaw a plurality of 40,301. T wenty-three coun ties are yet to be heard from. The indications point to Republican gains in the lower house of the legis lature. Cummins, candidate for United States senate, claims he will have a clear majority in the house and that the senate will be evenly divided between himself and his chief opponent, Gear. The indications are that the result of the senatorial contest will not be de cidod by yesterday's election and that the nomination will depend on the leg islative caucus in January. QUAKER STATE REPUBLICAN. B Jarnett D. c..: a em For Treasurer by I>Vr Plurality. PHILADE:LPHIa, Nov. 0.-In this city yesterday the total vote cast was 15', 333. The registra:ienl was O18,354. The contest on the state tielket was over the officee of state treasnier, and Colonel James E Earnett (Rep.) had 69,543 plurality over his Democratic opponent, William T. Creasy. J. Hay Browne (Rep.), candidate for the supreme court, hadi 90,874 plurality over 31estrezat (Denm.), but both were elected, as there are two vaucancies in that body. For state superior court, Mitchell (Rep.) had 87,4S5 plurality over Reilly (Dem.). Th~ese fitgures would indicate that as a result of the attack on Barnett's mili tary record he was cut about 10,000 votes in this city. The latest figures indicate that Bar nett had from 110,000 to 120.000 plural ity in the state. The extent of the cut ting cannot yet be ascertained properly, but it is lelieved that he suffered the loss of at least 20,000 votes in this way. There was searcely any signx of a fight in thfestate at large, and the vote gen erally was: light. BAY STATE IS REPUBLICAN. Demrcc:-ats Say Thei!r Gaiuns Indicate a ilebuke' to 3* eKinrley. BosTON, Nov. 9.-The vote of Massa chasetts icr governor complete is as fel lows: Crane, (Rep.) 108,870; Paine, (Dem.) 103,814. Republican plurality, 65,052. The vote of 1898 was: Wolcott, (Rep.) 191146; Bruce, (Dem.) 107,9060. Comment among Republicans today was in effect that the result was an in dorsement on the part of the Massachu setts people of the policy of the national administration in the Philippines. On the other hand the Democrats point to the great loss in the Republi can vote and claim that Massachusetts thereby has entered a protest against expansion. Especial emphasis is laid on the fact that 2:2,000 Republicans re frained fronm voting. The Democrats are jubilant over the victory in Boston, wvhich, after giving a Republican plurality for governor in the past three years, gave Paine a plurality of 6,200. It is claimed that this fore casts the election of a Democratic mayor in December. The Democrats get seven seats in the legislature, two in the senate and five in the house. 31aryland Goes Democratic. BALTIORE, Nov. 9.-Returns from the close counties in Maryland continue to come in slowly, but enough is now control of both branches of 7the general assembly. They have carried the lower house by such a decisive majority as to make it almost unanimous, and have I the senate by a majority of three. Full unofficial returns from Baltimore City give Smith (Dem ) for governor a ma jority of 8,192 in the city, and returns from the rest of the state give his total majority as 11,295. Republican Gain In Kansas. TOPEKA, Nov. 9.-Reports from yes terday's election in Kansas show Re publican gains throughout the state. The votes cast were for sheriff, county clerk, county treasurer, register of deeds, surveyor, coroner and ccmmis sioner in each cf the 105 counties, judges in eight judicial districts, judges of two courts of common pleas, and two state senators to fill vacancies caused by resignations. Very little interest was taken in the election and the va:. ;en erally was light. Democrats Win In 'Frisco. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 9.-The full re turns of the municipal election had not been received this morning, but a close estimate places the plurality of James D. Phelan, (Dem.) for mayor, at over 6.000. The Democrats also elected the assessor, city attorney, recorder, district attorney, coroner, public administrator, four police judges and 15 of the 18 su pervisors. The Republicans have prob ably elected the auditor, sheriff, county clerk, tax collector, treasurer 2nd three supervisors. Light Voto In Mississippi. JACKSON, Miss., Nov. 9.-Returns from over the state this morning indi cate that the vdte polled yesterday was much smaller than expected, especially in the country precincts. The total vote cast will not exceed 60,000. The Noel amendment is undoubtedly defeated, although the vote is somewhat close. Many electors neglected to vote on the question, which is practically a voto against the amendment, as it must re ceive a majority of all the votes cast. Fusionists Carry N,-braska. LiNCOLN. Neb., Nov. 9.-Additional returns received this morning only served to emphasize the fusion victory in Nebraska at yesterday's election. The fusion majority will not be less than 12,000 and may reach 18,000. Republi cans make no effort to explain the causes, although a number of leaders in this city differ with W. J. Bryan in his statement that it is a rebuke to the na tional administration. Dtmocrats Win In Virginia. RICHMOND, Nov. 9.-Thereturns show that the state senate will be entirely Democratic, the only member outside of the regular party nominees being W. B. Shands (Ind. Dem.) from Isle of Wight. The house will be composed of 93 regular Democrats, three independ ents and four Republicans. Martin will secure the nomination in the party cau cus for United States senator by a safe majority. McKinley at Washington. WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-President Mc Kinley reached Washington at 1 o'clock.

J., Nov. 9.-Revision to day of the election returns shows no change in the figures of last night.
