However, the Tammany Men Elected Their Candidates. SWEEP OF THE GREAT WAVE. Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsyl- ia, Maryland, Ohio, Iowa and Nebraska All Right. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov.6.—3 A. M.— The sum total of Tuesday’s elections is another Waterloo for the Democrats. New York, Massachusetts, New Jer: sylvania, Maryland, Ohio, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas go Republican. Tammany, with the aid of disreputable elements and Bowery boys, carries New York city, but the State of New York elects Republican officers. Gorman met his Waterloo in Maryland. Lowndes’ majority may reach 15,000. Ohio is Republican by a heavy majority, variously estimated at from 50,000 to £0,000. Kentucky seems to have joined the in- numerable caravan, though Democrats still claim that Hardin is elected by a small majority. Mississippi is the only State saved to the Democrats. The Republican majority in New York State may reach 60.000. The Republicans eain four Senators—two from Utah, one from Ohio (to succeed Brice) and one from Maryland (to succeea Gibson), though the successors of Brice and Gibson do not take their seats until 189 The Senate next session will probably stand: Republicans, 45; Democrats, 39; Populists, 4; doubtful, 2. Of the doubtful one, Jones (Nevada) will probably affiliate with the Republicans, and Marion Butler (North Carolina) with the Demo- crats. The Republicans’ strength will probably beg prty-six out of ninety Senators, ora cof\trolling number, and both branches of thélcoming Congress will therefore be Re- publican. The Utah Senators will take their seats the latter part of January. —_— NEW YORK WENT KEPUBLICAN. But the Tammany Crowd Won Out in the Metropolis. NEW YORK, N.Y., Nov. 5—The Re- publicans carried New York State by 80,000 plurality, New Jersey by over 15,000, Maryland by 10,000, and claims to have captured Kentucky.

TRENTON, N. J., Nov. 5.—It is esti- mated that Griggs (R.) carries eighteen of the twenty-one counties by a majority of 23,700. Indications are that six out of seven Senators elected are Republican and thirty-five out of sixty members of the Assembly are Republicans. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 5.—The result of the election in New Jersey indicates a sweeping victory for the Republicans in nearly every district, even in portions which have. been for years strongholds of Democragy. John W. Griggs, the Repub- | lican candidate for Governor, has been elected by a surprisingly large plurality, | probably by about 15,000. Five of the | seven new State Senators are Republioan and in the Assembly the Democrats have lost much ground. While New Jersey has had a Republican Senate and Assembly more than once of | | John W.

Massachusetts Republicans Will Seat All two cities below the Harlem the Demo- cratic plurality of 60,343 two years ago has been reduced about 12,000, giving the State to the head of the Republican ticket by 50,000 plurality in round numbers. The two branches of the Legislature re- main, as before, under the direction of the Republicans. The election throughout the State was orderly and rapidly conducted and the resuits were quickly compiled. All the talk about the difficulty of handling the blanket ballot went for naucht. So far as the success or failure of the blanket | ballot was concerned, the advices from all over the State show that there was little or no trouble and that the ballot was so much of a success that the vote was polled quicker than ever before. The total vote of the State shows a falling off compared with the vote of 1893, the decrease being confined, however, to the districts north of the Harlem River. The city vote was equal to that of two years ago. The Tammany men were wildly enthusi- astic to-night when it became authorita- tively known that the fusion ticket had | William H.

So far as received the State returns indi- cate that Hardin will come to Louisville with a small plurality, but whether it will exceed Bradley’s plurality in the city is problematical. The returns of the vote for members of the Legislature are scatter- ing, but it will probably remain Demo- cratic. el e BUSHNELL WON EASILY. Ohio Republicans Secured a Plurality of One Hundred Thousand. COLUMBTUS, Oxro, Nov.5.—At midnight Chairman Kurtz of the Republican State Committee sent a telegram to General Asa S. Bushnell, candidate for Governor, General Jones of Youngstown, candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, and to ex-Gover- nor Foraker stating that the whole Repub- lican State ticket was elected by pluralities bordering close around 100,000, and con- gratulating them.

Caroline County has also gone Republican —a Democratic loss. Allegany County, the home of Mr. Lowndes, the Republican candidate for Governor, gives him 1500 plurality. Talbott, Senotor Gibson’s own county, has gone Republican, and at midnight the indications are that both branches of the Legislatuge will be Republican, thus giv- ing Senator Gorman a ! :publiean col- league instead of Senator Gibson. Latest estimates indicate that the Re- publican plurality in the State will be | 20,000.

The Demo- crats nominated five trustees for the sani- tary board, as did the Republicans, and as there are but nine offices to fill, but one man could be defeated. Joseph J. Duffy, receiving the smallest number of votes, was the defeated man. In the Judgeship contest, Farlin Q. Ball (R.) received a majority of 30,000 over R. ‘W. Meyerson (D.). The drainage trustees elected are: J. C. Braden, J. P. Mallette, Z. R. Carter, R. A. Eckhart, William Boldenwreck, Frank ‘Wenter, Thomas A. Smyth, Thomas Kelly and A. J. Jones. The Republicans, having a majority in the board, will choose Mr. Eckhart president. The election passed off quietly, the vote polled being about 125,000 below that of last- year. SRS FOR CHIEF JUSTICE. Littls Interest Was Taken in the Kansas Contest. TOPEKA, Kaxs, Nov. 5—There has been a very light vote polled in Kansas to-day. Little interest was taken in the contest for Chief Justice. David Martin (Republican) was generally considered a sure winner, but the returns from a few precincts indicate that the vote for Charles K. Holliday (Independent free silver can- didate) will be much larger than was anticipated, Populists generally voting for him. Martin’s majority may be reduced 0 20,000. In this county Holliday will cut down the usual Republican majority more than 20,000, but he does not expect to do as well elsewhere. Out of eight District Judges the Republicans will elect five and the Populists and Democrats three, being a loss of two to the Republicans. Returns are coming in slowly, and it is impossible at 11 o'clock to make comparative esti- mates. REPUBLICANS WILL CONTROL. WITH A LOSS OF THREE MILLION DOLLARS, which comparisons are made. The loss to | each party is about the same, and unless | radical changes oecur in outlying counties | the Republican State ticket will be elected | by average pluralities of 13,000. The Republican State Central Commit- tee makes its estimates, in the face of | scattering returns, at a trifle higher, while the Populist chairman contends that Max- | well, for Supreme Judge, still has a fight- ing chance. Interest in this county cen- tered largely on the local ticket, the Re- | publicans carrying the county, with tbe; possible exception of Sheriff and Court | Clerk. OMAHA, Nov. 5.—Incomplete returns from the State show that Norval (R.) has carried the State by about 20,000 over Max- | well (Pop.) for Supreme Court Justice. In | Omaha the Republican ticket, backed by the A. P. A, has beaten the combined Democratic and Citizens’ parties by 1000 to 2000 votes, W. J. Broatch (R.) being elected | Mayor by about 1000 votes over C. H. | Brown (D. and Citizens). The county has | also gone Republican by about 2000. It | looks like the election of every Republican | nominee, even the famous Judge Scott | pulling throtgh. | Indications point to a close race between | the two Democratic candidates, Phelpsand Mahoney, for judge of the Supreme Court. | Phelps is the silver candidate and Ma- honey is anti-silver.

Sixty-eight pre- | cincts out of seventy-six in this city give | Broatch, Republican, 807 plurality. This county goes 2000 Republican. Lo RESULTS IN VIRGINIA. Ae Usual, the Democrats Will Control the Legislature. RICHMOND, Va., Nov. the returns show the election by the Dem- ocrats of 11 of the 20 Senators and 57 of the | 100 Delegates. Several counties still to be | heard from will almost certainly return | Democrats. Both houses of the General | Assembly will, beyond question, be fully | in control of the Democrats. 6.—At 24 . | DEMOCRATIC AS USUAL. “ Indications as to How the Mississippi | Election Went. | JACKSON, Miss., Nov. 5.—Indications are that the entire Democratic State ticket | is elected by from 30,000 to 40,000. T HADLEY SUCCEEDS REMANN. | The Republican Elected to Fill a Con- gressional Vacancy. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 5.—Returns from | the Eighteenth Illinois Congressional | district indicate the election of Ex-State | Senator Hadley (R.) to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Edward Remann last summer. Mr. Hadley's opponent, | Ex-Congressman Edward Lane, failed to carry any of the six counties in the district. The contest attracted & great deal of atten- tion by reason of the fact that free silver, represented by Mr. Lane, was pitted against sound money. Ll SHOT BY A NEGRO.

CAPE CHARLES, Va., Nov.5.—William Stevenson (white) a well-known farmer, 35 | years old, at Casten, Somerset County Md., | was shot through the head at the polls | while trying to vote, by Samuel Dickerson, colored.

While on the Sixth Floor a Squad Is Cut Off, but Escape Down Ladders. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 5.—The most serious fire with which the Fire Departe ment of this city has had to cope for seve eral years was discovered in the building at the corner of Bleecker street and Broad- w shortly after .9 o’clock this evening, Within fifteen minutes half the block be- tween Broadway and Crosby street was aflame, and a second, third, fourth and fifth alarm was sounded. Most of the buildings which served to feed the flames were old rattletraps, and as they took fire one after the other the conflagration seemed to get beyond the control of the fighters. At9:15 o'clock the roof and side walls fell in with a crash. In a few minutes the flames leaped across the street to the Man- hattan Bank building. In ten minutes that building was ablaze from cellar to T00f, 23 was also the building on the cor- ner of Urosby street, opposite the building This place is oce cupied by White’'s Express. When the rear wall of the building fell there were four firemen in the building next to it. The six-story building towers above this, and when the wall fell they started to run, buf they seemed to be too late, and were | probably caught. By 10 o'clock three-fourths of the entire fire department of the city was on the scene. 640 Broadway was totally wrecked. Nos. 636 and 633 were badly burned, but not destroyed. These stores are occupied by A. N.Simon & Co., Adler (the glove man) and Goodrich (the carriage-builder), Nothing counld save the Manhattan building, and the firemen stopped playing on it. Shortly after 9 o’clock there was an explosion in Adler’s glovestore, 638 Broad- way, which adjoined the corner building. Hot air blew out the front window, and carried it and the framework clear across Broadway. So far as is known no one was in the building. The firemen attacked the oaken doors of the old bank buildings. - After twenty minutes’ hard work the doors were bat- tered down and the firemen flooded the ine terior with water. When the walls of the Keep building fell in the firemen turned streams on the other building opposite, the northeast corner of Broadway. Deputy Chief Reilly and Battalion Chief Lally led the crews of several engine com- vanies into the building and up to the sixth floor. As the building was deemed fireproof the firemen took unusal hazards in climbing up to reach the flames which had seized the entire upper portion of the building. While on the sixth floor the stairway below them caught fire and five minutes later the stairway leading to the seventh floor gave way and fell upon them. Some of the firemen were able to climb to the seventh tloor out of danger. Chief Lally was with them. Deputy Chief Reilly and the rest of the firemen were hemmed in so that they could neither go up or down.

The votes cast, on account of bad weather, will not exceed 80 per cent of the total vote. Sufficient returns have not yet been received to show with any degree of cer- tainty what the result will be, but present indications are that the vote will remain substantially as it was last year except that the Populist vote for Lawrence for Govern- or will cut down Wells’ (R.) majority if not wipe it out altogether, and that Roberts (D.) for Congress will run ahead of his ticket and materially reduce Allen’s ma- jority. The Republicans will probably control both branches of the Legislatvre. The constitution has been adopted by an overwhelming majority. Salt Lake. City 248 Votes. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Nov. 5.—The American Protective Association scored a victory to-day in the election of C. H. Hubbard as Mayor of Sacramento. The result of the election is by no means a sur- prise to the members of the other parties, as they conceded to the successful aspirant great strength. It was believed that J. W, would secure the Catholic vote almost to a man. Had he done so he would have been elected. As it was, the vote split and the ing assured Hubbard’s election by a plu- rality of 248 votes. The vote was as follows: Hubbard, feated by a Plurality of | Wilson, who headed the Republican ticket, | portina which Steinman succeeded in hold- | Gorman has met his Waterloo. At mid- night the indications point to a complete Republican victory in Maryland. Lloyd Lowndes is undoubtedly elected Governor and the balance of the Republican State ticket has an apparent majority of over 10,000. The Legislature will be Republican on joint ballot, thereby insuring a Republican successor to United States Senator Gibsor. In Baltimore City the returns indicate a complete overthrow for the Gorman-Rason ring. Hooper, for Mayor, hasan apparent majority of more than 3000. The Repub- licans bave also a majority of the City | Council and clerks of the courts. The heaviest vote ever cast in Balti- more was polled to-day, and it was char- acterized by violence and disorder through- out, g0 much so that Mr. Wiiliams, the Democratic candidate for Mayor, and Mr. Hurst, the Democratic Gubernatorial can- | Clerk; Louis B.

Re- |wrns from about half the precincts in Louisville indicate that the city will give a ! Republican plurality of about 4000 on the municipal ticket and probably a larger plurality for Bradley.

At 11:30 p. u. forty precincts heard from show Democratic gains over last year of 150. This ratio if maimtained would fall short of overcoming the Republican ma- jority of 1100, and there can be no doubt the Republicans will control both branches of the Legislature. Caine (D.) may puil through for Governor, owing to Lawrence (P.) drawing heavily from Wells, the Re- publican candidate, but it will be very close. Allen (R.) will probably defeat Roberts for Congress. ptetuin G O AND THE WOMEN VOTED, Elections for County Oficers Held in Citizens, 2529; Wilson, Republican, 2280; Steinman, Independent, 1478; Lawton, Democrat, 209.

At this hour (1 A. x.) the fire is under control. The damage caused by this fire is estimated to be $3,- 000,000. Both the Manhattan Savings Bank and the Empire State Bank are in ruins. Chief Bonner said that twenty-five men belonging to the department had been more or less injured. He had not been furnished with all the names of the men injured, and hardly expected that he would be before morning. The Manhattan Savings Bank building, which is almost a total wreck, was valued at $150,000. Bierman, Heidelberg & Co., tailors, who occupied part of it, had a stock valued at $70,000; Straus & Co., tailors, in the same building, probably lose $90,000; Floenfelt & Co., men’s jew- elry, $15,000; other small tenants, $50,000. The Empire State Bank building, not even the shell of which is left, was prob- ably worth $75.000. Among the firms oc- cupying it were Charles Hecht & Co., flowers and feathers, loss probably $150,000; William Burke & Co., neckwear, probable loss, $30,000; the New York Leather Com- pany, $100,000, and other tenants §50,000.
