elections noted wero lhoo of Albany, Troy,
Rochester, Syracuse and HulTnlo. Tho city
of Albany was carried by the republicans,
cx-Senalor David R. Hill taking no urtlve
part In tho canvass. The election In Troy
.was a lively one, a number of arrests for
Illegal voting being made. Former United
Platen Senator Murphy headed tho light for

At 10 o'clock tonight Richard Croker,

"Tho people wanted a change," said he,
"and tho organization bown to tho will of

If any one party were to remain In control

Mr. Croker said that all dissatisfied per

NUW YORK, Nov. 5. After several
weeks of tho hottest campaign fighting ovor
witnessed In this city over n municipal
election, today the ballotn worn
cast, tho day passing with un
wonted quiet considering the high
feeling which had previously been ex
hibited. Thci'i were n few quarrels nt
tho polls among Individuals, but nono of a
serious natute, and out of tho scores of
arrests made and most of those wore on
charges of a technical character but few
prisoners wero held by tho magistrates'.
The great feature of the voting was the
early casting of ballots. This applied to
the hri'wnstonc as well as the tenement
house district. Tbero was a drizzling rain
up to 1) a. m but after that hour there
win nothing to keep even the most fastid
ious voter from the polls.
Seth Low, fusion candidate for mayor,
cast his ballot nt 7:55 a. m.; Kdwnrd M.
Shcpard, democratic candidate, voted at
11:25; Richard Croker and hlR two sons
wero scon nt their polling place a mlnuto
after S a. m.; Senator Depow dropped his
ballot Into the bcx at 9:45 a. m., and Mayor
Vun Wyck waited until 3 p. m.
VoIIiikt Miii'IiIik- n Mut'ecm.
Tho practical use of a voting machine was
demonstrated In the Eighteenth district cf
the First assembly district, Brooklyn, and
tho result' was known at 5:20 p. m., imme
diately after tho pols were closed. No
dllllculty was experienced in recording the
voto and In many Instances men cast their
votes In Lcsn thn.-fMircevc4ndi:v'",'i,
An Incident which attracted attention In
New York City was the refusal of tho
election Judges In one district to allow one
voter to cast his ballot because he had
made a bet of n box of cigars on the result
of the election.
Crowds such as arc seen on the night of
presidential elections tonight surrounded
the bulletin boards of tbo newspaper offices.
Because of the danger of accidents result
ing from the sub-way excavations near tho
city hall, some 500 policemen wero on hand.
A cordon was formed which practically
hut off l'ark Row from the head of Reek-
man street to the bridge entrnncc and the
streets leading to l'ark Row at that point
were closed. The enrs were stopped at
Center street.

Onn man, believed to be 12. J. Mullnncy
of Clifton, N. J., while watching the bulle
tins near tho Staats .cltung, was Jostled
off the sidewalk by the crowd and falling
on the stono roadway fractured his skull.
He died eoon afterward. The bulletin an
nouncing Mr. Low's election was tho signal
for Impromptu triumphal parades around
tho district, in which tho young man with
tho blnrlng tin horn was as usual very
much In evidence.
It Is estimated that between 40,000 and
50,000 people were massed In Broadway be
tween Twenty-second street and Thirty-
eighth street to watch for the returns. Ac
cording to tho polleo and old residents of
this city tho crowd wns the largest that
had ever congregated to watch for returns
of a local election.
During the evening several hundred Co
lumbia students appeared In the vicinity of
Thirty-fourth street nnd Broadway. They
arrk'd Chinese lanterns on tho end of
canes nnd wore silk hats. They were Jubi
lant that their former president had won
and eclobrated tho event by the blowing of
horns and cheers for Mr. Low. They gave
no trouble to tho police.
NEW JERSEY.
NEWARK, N. J., Nov. B. Tho early re
turns received from nil points In tho stato
Indicate that Murphy, rep., for governor has
been elocted and that tho election Is now
simply a matter of plurality. The returns
thus far received Indicate that Murphy will
have n larger plurality In tho stato than
Vnorhees had-three years ago. The repub
licans claim thn stato by 10,000. The re
turns thus far Indicate tho election of Mur
phy by at least 7,000.
TRENTON. N. J Nov. G. Late returns
bear out the earlier indications that Frank
lin Murphy, rcp has been elected governor
by about 10.000 plurality. Partial returns
from the counties show that most of them
gavo about tho samo pluralities as were
given three yearB ago. when Voorhees was
elected governor by 5,499 plurality. One of
tho exceptions is Esbcx county, which gave
Voorhees 4,687, and is expected to bo car
ried by Murphy by 8,000 to 10,000.

COLUMBUS, Nov. G After 11 o'clock
Chairman Dick issued h statement In which
he declared that the republican plurality
would exceed tiO.OOU.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. C Tho republicans
today carried Ohio by such Increased plu
lallty on their state ticket and with such
an enlarged majority In the legislature as
to cause nil sorts of comment on what did
It. Tho result continues the republicans In
power in the atntc, making an epoch of
twelve years In succession for that party
In Ohio, and It Instil e3 the rc-clcctlou of
Senator Fornker.
The extent of the republlcnn success Is
attributed to the Bllver democrats not vot
ing, to the attitude of John It. McLean, the
dcmocrutlo candidate for governor two
years ngo nnd tho Ohio members of the
national committee; to tho superior organ
ization of the republicans and other causes.
The republicans nttrlliuto the result largely
to the popular desire not to disturb tbo
prevailing prosperity, In accordance with
Senator Hanna's appeal to "let well enough
alone;" to tho deslro to support President
Roosevelt In carrying out tho policy of
President McKlnley nnd to the endorsement
of Oovernor Nash and Scnutor Fornker.
Chairman Dick sent u mcosenger to Gov
ernor Nash at the stato house und tele
grams to Senator Fornker at Cincinnati aud
Senator Hnnna at Clovclaud, congratulating
them on these lines.
Dlck'n lllilllil In lluril.
The republicans are so elated over their
triumph that they are talking of Congress
man Dick, who has been chairman of their
slnto committee for eleven years, for gov
ernor two years hence, when Senator Hnnna
stands for re-election, and It Is generally
predicted tbat John R. McLean then will
be tho democratic candlduto for senator. It
Is believed that Hon. Charles B. Baker of
Cincinnati, who has been an avowed candi
date against Forakcr, will receive the com
plimentary voto of the democracy for senator.
In Hamilton .county there was a mixed
delegation In the Inst legislature, when John
R. McLean, democrat, carried that county
for govcruor. The delegation then had only
two republicans. This year the delegation
consists of thirteen republicans. Lucas
county had two republican members In the
Inst legislature, but under tho new census
It has four members, all republicans. Tho
democrats gain four members In Franklin
and ono in Adams and Pike counties. Tho
republicans gain ono member each in Sum
mit, Muskingum, Ross nnd Williams coun
ties. In tho last legislature Montgomery
had ono republican and one democratic
jnembor. ThU ypar ...that-- county -elected,.,
; three republican members.
So far na the returns Indicate tho "local
option" candidates of both parties for the
legislature have been defeated. Tho liquor
men arc especially Jubilant over tho defeat
of T. II. Clark, one of the republican candi
dates In Franklin county, who wns tho
author of the "local option" bill that va3
defeated In the last legislature.
At midnight Chairman Dick was called
out for n speech, In which ho referred to tho
scene In tho same nudltorlum when Mc
Klnley wuh first elected governor. He eulo
gized President Roosevelt. Oovernor Nash,
Senator Forakor and others who were se
lected to perpetuate the principles of Mc
Klnley and other leaders.
Dlck'n Former I'reilletliin llnlil.
At democratic stato headnunrtcra no
official statements have been given out to
night. Chairman Dirk of the republican
state headquarters said goodnight to tho
crowd after lining the following:
Iteturns nt mldnlcht Indicate the election
of Governor Nnsli by GO.000 nnd upwards
nnd tbo (-lection of twenty-two to twenty
live of the thlrty-tbreo members of the
seiinto and seventy to eighty of the 110
members of tho house.
UllAlU.liM UlUK.
Thei-o figures on tho standing of thn
legislature happen to bo the same as in
Chairman Dick's untc-cloctlon statement
last Saturday. Tho republican plurality
exceeds tho average of 53,000 for tho last
ten years, or alnco the first election of Mc
Klnley us governor, which has been termed
tho grontcst republican era In Ohio. The
plurality for McKlnley for president last
year was 03,030 on a total voto of l,0i9,121
nnd for' Nash two years ngo 49,023, with u
total voto of 920,872. Thu total voto this
year will not reach 900.000 and tho shortage
Is considered one of the features of thu
campaign from which tho democrats were
tho greater loners.
Complete returns from Franldln county
show that the democrats havo elected all
four candidates for representative.
Ill Mclvlnloy'n Count-.
CANTON, Nov. 5. Tho Indications arc
that Nash has carried Stark county by
about 3,000, u gain over his voto of two
years ago of nearly 1,500. Nash carries
Canton by 1,161, n gain over two years ago
of 600. The republicans elect their com
plete county nnd legislative tickets.
TOLEDO, Nov. 5. In splto of tho fact
that tho democrats made a fight against
Oovernor Nash, on tho ground that he
killed the Toledo centennial by using, his
Influence to defeat any measure. In the
legislature that appropriated more than
$500,000 for tho .centennial, tho governor
carried this county by nearly 10,000 major
ity. Tho entire county ticket, including one
senator, four representatives and three
common pica JudgeH, havo majorities rang
ing between 2,000 nnd 4,000,
Tho following Is tho result In northwest
Ohio counties: Wood, 2,400 for Nash and
cntlro republican ticket; Allen, 1,000 for
Kllbourne nnd entire democratic county
ticket; Putnam, 1,500 tor Kllbourne nnd cn
tlro democratic county ticket; Mercer, 1,500
for Kilbourue and entire democratic county

ing slowly at tho time tho thlid edition

shadow that the outcome on county officers
will bo close. The vote Is very light, both
parties having suffered alike In this re

been tho unusual amount of scratching, ao
that tho count on ono candidate In nowise

that tho democratic majority will bo more

democrats made gains In the southwest
where they feared they woro weak.
RICHMOND, Vn., Nov. 6. Tho weather

havo heard from only a small portion of

There havo been big gains over the majori
ties of last year, and enough flguics uro at

Wo havo no information concerning thu

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 5. (Spctlal Tele

state central committee at 12:30 this morn
ing said: "We have not enough figures nt
this hour to warrant us lu making uny prn
dlctlon as to tho result of the election, but
we feel confident that Mr. Ilollenbcck has

from only forty-thrco precincts, compris
ing about one-fortieth of tho state, and Is
therefore not much more thau n supposition."
At the hour of going to pross meager re
turns from precincts in Ncbrnskn Indicato
that Judgo Sedgwick and candidates on
tho republican state ticket will be clcctod
by safo majorities. These precincts atv
fairly scattered over tho state nnd, with
tho exception of Dodge county, which Is the
home of Judge Hollcnbecl:, they show that
Judgo Sedgwick Is running better than dht ,
Governor Dietrich last yenr. Whllo it Is nl-Otf

the gains arc almost uniformly rr,corrtqd for

tbo wind is blowing.
The bad weather seems to have been gen
eral throughout tho ntntc and very un
favorable to getting out n full vote, so th.it
"tho total number of ballots cast promises
to fall far below the total of n year ngo.
The best estimates are that tho total this
