STATE ELECTIONS.
REPUBLICANS CLAIM THE
BIGGEST SHARE.
Tamil Wins in
While Poor Old Maryland Goes
Down in Defeat.
McLaurin Wins In Mississippi and
Hardin’s Friends Claim
Kentucky.
Elections wore held in thirteen
states of the Union Tuesday—Penn¬
sylvania, Ohio, Nebraska, Kentucky,
Mississippi, New York, Alassachusetts,
Alaryland, Virginia, Iowa, Alicbigan,
Kansas and Utah. The weather was
auspicious and a heavy vote was polled.
In each state there was an unusually
large registratiou aud hard fighting
was the order of the day. The result
of the battlo of ballots is told in the
following dispatches:
New Yoke, November 5.— The re¬
publicans havo carried New York state
and Tammany has swept the city clean.
The following is the Tammany ticket
elected: Henry D. Purroy, county
clerk; Charles H. Truax, Charles F.
AIcLean, Frederick Smythe, justices
of the supreme court; Joseph F. New
burger, Alartin T. AIoAIahon, judges
of the general sessions; Robert A.
Vanwyclc, John P. Schuchmau, Ed¬
ward E. Odwyer, justices of tho city
court; William Sohmer, register. Ac¬
cording to returns so far received,
Tammany has electod eleven out of
twelve senators, and eleven assembly¬
men out of thirty-five.
*'• Tho rejiublicans have elected the fol¬
lowing state ticket:
John Palmer, secretary of state;
James A. Roberts, comptroller; Addi¬
son B. Colvin, treasurer; Theodore E.
Hancock, attorney general; Campbell
W. Adams, state engineer and survey¬
or ; Celora E. AlartiD, associate judge
of the court of appeals.
The election throughout the state
was orderly aud rapidly conducted aud
the results were quickly complied.
United Press bulletins say that the
senators elected in New York state
comprise thirty-four republicans and
sixteen democrats.
From Mississippi.
Jackson, Alias.—The absolute cer¬
tainty of the election of the en¬
tire democratic state ticket by a
majority anywhere from 15,000 to
40,000, tended to make a small vote
except in oouuties where the populists
had hopes of electing their candidates
for the legislature and county officers.
In such instances tho full vote has been
polled.
The eoutested counties aro mostly
remote from tolgraph connections and
the chairman of the state democratic
committee does not expect to reoeive
definite information tonight. He has
enough, however, to know that
AIcLauriu has secured two votes to
Burkitt’s one, and it is not believed
that the populists havo elocted as
many ns twenty of tho one hundred
and seventy-eight members of the two
houses of the legislature.
It is impossible to give any correct
estimate of votes polled, but returns
from most important preoincts indi¬
cate that the eutiro democratic ticket
is elected by au overwhelming major¬
ity, certainly 30,000. It is barely pos¬
sible that one or two beat offices will
be carried by tho populists.
Maryland.
Baltimore, AId.— Senator A. P.
Gormau, the great Alaryland leader
who made it possible for Grover
Cleveland to become president of the
United States, met his Waterloo to¬
day. A tidal wave such as this good
old democratic state has never known
before swept through the counties and
into tho cities, and the candidates of
the hero of the force bill went down
under an avalanche of republican and
independent vot§|.
The returns from tbo country are
meager, but everywhere there have
been large republican gains.
Late returns from the wards of the
city show that the regular democratic
ticket has been defeated by 15,000.
Alore than two-thirds of the members
o^the legislature will be republicans.
There will be but five democrats in
the city council, one of whom will be
a negro. The latter will be the second
negro elected to tho council by the
people of the city.
Utah Uncertain.
Salt Lake, Utah.—The election
passed off very quietly. The vote cast
on account of the 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
certainty what the result will be, but
present indications are that the vote
will remain substantiallv as it was last
year, except that the populist vote for
Lawrence for governor wiil ent down
Well’s, republican, majority.
Virginia Goes All Right.
Richmond, Va.— Returns received
up to 1:30 o’clock Wednesday morn¬
ing show that while the democrats
have carried the state and elected
more than a majority of the general
assembly, they suffered more serious
losses than was expected. The honest
elections people have certainly carried
sixteen house districts and two sena¬
torial districts, one of the latter being
the district now represented by Air.
WaltoD, the patron of the present elec¬
tion law which is being so vigorously
fought. The opposition also claime
to have carried Augusta and Pittsyl¬
vania, two of the largest counties in
the state, and both of which usually
give large democratic majorities.
With the nineteen hold-over senators
the democrats will certainly have two
thirds of both houses.
Democrats Claim Kentucky.
Louisville, Kv.—The exciting cam
paign in Kentucky was followed today
bv a quiet election. The polls closed
ot 4 o’clock, but the blanket Australiar
blanket ballot with much scratching
makes the returns slow. The demo¬
crats claim the election of P.W. Hardin
as governor by 20,000 or 25,000 plu¬
rality. The republicans claim the
election of Bradley by a small plu¬
rality, but give no estimates. The re¬
turns so far as received from the state
show that Hardin has run with the
ticket and in a few counties ahead of
it, and if this ratio continues his elec¬
tion is assured. Tho republicans elec¬
ted four out of seven school trustees
and will probably control the city
council. No returns have been re¬
ceived as to the estimates of the legis¬
lature.
Nebraska.
Lincoln, Neb.—Not one-tenth of
the voting precincts in the state had
sent in even partial returns up to-11
o’clock Tuesday night. Reports are
mainly from county seats, with a few
estimates on outlying precincts, and
these indicated a material falling off
from the vote of 1893, with which com¬
parisons are made. The loss to each
party is about the same, and unless
radical changes occur in outlying
counties tho republican state ticket
will be elected. Incomplete returns
from the state show that Norval, re¬
publican, has carried the state by 20,
000 over Alaxwell, populist, for su¬
preme court justice.
Massachusetts.
Boston, Alass.—Massachusetts re¬
elected Governor F. T. Greenhalge for
a third term by about 65,000 plurality
over George Fred Williams, democrat,
in a total vote of some 10,000 less than
last year. Lieutenant Governor Wal¬
cott, republican, is re-elected by a plu¬
rality nearly as large. The balance of
the republican state ticket is elected
by slightly smaller pluralities. The
democrats have gained one senator in
Boston and a few representatives
throughout the state. The question,
is it expedient to grant municipal suf¬
frage to women, is deoided in the neg¬
ative by a majority of 55,000, or very
nearly two to one.
Kansas.
Topeka, Ivans.—A light vote was
polled today. Little interest was
taken in the contest for chief justice.
David Alartin, republican, was gener¬
ally considered a sure winner, but the
returns from the few precints heard
from indicate that the vote for Charles
K. Holliday, independent free silver,
will bo much larger than was antici¬
pated, the populists generally voting
for him. Out of eight district judges,
the republicans will elect five, aud the
populist and democrats three, being a
loss of two to the republicans. The
returns are coming in slowly.
Ohio Solidly Republican.
At midnight Chairman Kurtz, of the
republican state committee, sent tele¬
grams to General Asa Bushnell, candi¬
date for governor; General Jones, of
Youngstown, candidate for lieutenant
governor, and to ex-governor Foraker,
stating that the w’hole republican
ticket was elected by pluralities bor¬
dering close around 100,000 and con¬
gratulating them. claims 75
The republican chairman
out of 112 members of the house and

Seven hundred and ninety-eight
precincts outside of Cincinnati—Bush¬
nell, republican, 126,248; Campbell,
democrat, 94,035.
Iowa Republican.
Des AIoines, la.—The republi¬
can state committee claims the
senate will be 42 republicans, 7 demo¬
crats; tho house will be 74 republi¬
cans, 26 democrats; on joint ballot
republicans 117, democrats 33; repub¬
lican majority 84. Two hundred and
five precincts give Drake, republican,
24,305; Babb, democrat, 16,743; net

175,000 iu Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, Pa.—Pennsylvania
has elected Haywood, republican, for
state treasurer by a majority approxi¬
mating 175,000, against 135,146 ma¬
jority in 1893 for Jackson, republican,
state treasurer. The six republican
candidates for superior judges are
elected by majorities slightly below
that for Haywood.
The New Jersey Election.
Trenton, N. J. —The returns indi¬
cate a sweeping victory for the repub-
Means in nearly every district in New
Jersey, even in portions which have
been tor years strongholds of democ¬
racy. John W. Griggs, the republi¬
can candidate for governor, has been
elected by a surprisingly large plural¬
ity, probably by 20,000. The indica¬
tions are that six out of seven senators
elected are republican, and thirty-five
out of sixty men of the assembly are
republicans.
GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
Tile Industrial Condition as Reported
for the Cast Week.
Reports as to industrial conditions
in all parts of the south for the past
week show that the variations in the
cotton market? have not been felt in
other lines of business. The crop be¬
ing short and the demand very great,
all growers of cotton are getting a con¬
siderable advance on what was expect¬
ed in the spring, and settlements as
now being are on good terms. In
other lines, such as cotton manufac¬
turing, iron making, lumber and coal,
everything is prosperous. The south’s
great advantage this year is that its
cotton crop has been made for less
money than ever before, is being sold
for higher prices and the proceeds are
almost all available for investment, as
home grown supplies were never be¬
fore raised in so great quantity.
The list of new cotton mills as re¬
ported for the week includes a $250,
000 mill at Vicksburg, Alias. ; mills
each with $200,000 capital at Atlanta
and Rome, Ga., and Jackson, Alias.;
other cotton mills at Bessemer,
Ala.; Gastonia, N. C., and Alerid
iaD, Alias.; a $200,000 cotton rope
factory at Galveston, Tex., and a
knitting mill at Brunswick, Ga. The
Salem Oil and Gas Co., capital $500,
000, has been chartered at Salem, W.
Va.; car works and car wheel works
are to be established at Savannah, Ga.,
at a cost of $100,000; the Aleadow
Brook Land Company, capital $50,
000, has been organized at Louisville,
Ky., and the Graftou Coal and Coke
Go., capital $30,000, at Grafton, W.
Va. Cooperage works, with $20,000
capita], are reported at Aloultre, Ga. ;
a $20,000 saw mill and novelty works
at Tampa, Fla., and a $15,000 saw and
shingle mill at Windsor, Fla.
There is also reported an electric
lighting plant at Abbeville, La. ; the
opening of iron mines at Cartersville,
Ga., and Brown Springs, Va. ; of a
pottery at Alacon, Tex., and a rice
mill at New Orleans, La. A sugar re¬
finery of a thousand tons capacity is
to be built at Abbeville, La. ; a tan¬
nery at Charlotte, N. C. ; a furniture
factory at Knoxville, Tenn.; saw mills
at Tyrone, Ark., and Fernandina,
Fla., and water works at Dublin, Ga.,
and Falmouth, Ky .— Tradesman

FOR THANKSGIVING.
The President Designates Thursday,
the 28tli of this Month.
President Cleveland has issued a
proclamation designating Thursday,
November 28th, as Thanksgiving Day.
The proclamation is as follows:
“The constant goodness and for¬
bearance of Almighty God which have
been vouchsafed to the American peo¬
ple during the year which is just past
call for their sincere acknowledgment
of devout gratitude, To the end,
therefore, that we may with thankful
hearts unite in extolling the loving
care of our Heavenly Father, I,
Grover Cleveland, president of the
United States, do hereby appoint and
set apart Thursday, the twenty-eighth
day of the present month of Novem¬
ber, as a day of thanksgiving and
prayer, to be kept and observed by all
our people. On that day let us forego
our usual occupations, and in our ac¬
customed places of worship join in
rendering thanks to the giver of every
good and perfect gift for the bounte¬
ous returns that have rewarded our
labors in the fields and in the busy
marts of trade, for the peace and or¬
der that have prevailed throughout
the land, for our protection from pes¬
tilence and dire calamity and for the
other blessings that have been show¬
ered upon us from an open hand. And
with our thanksgiving let us humbly
beseech the Lord to so incline the
hearts of our people unto Him that
He will not leave us nor forsake us as
a nation, but will continue to us His
mercy and protecting care, guiding us
in the path of national prosperity and
happiness, endowing us with rectitude
and virtue and keeping alive within us
a patriotic love for the free institu¬
tions which have been given to us as
our national heritage.
“And let ns also on the day of our
Thanksgiving especially remember the
poor and needy, and by deeds of char¬
ity let us show the sincerity of our
gratitude. I have hereun¬
“In witness whereof,
to set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
“Done at the city of Washington,
this, fourth day of November, in the
year of onr Lord, one thousand eight
hundred and ninety-five, and in the
one hundred and twentieth year of the
independence of the United States.
“Signed Grover Cleveland.”
By the President:
Richakd Olnet, Secretary of State.

EARTII TREMBLED.
EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS FELT
FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN,
People Rush From Their Houses In
Alarm—Damage Very Slight.
Earthquake shocks were felt through¬
out the United States from the Atlan¬
tic to the Pacific and from Maine to
the Gulf at about five o’clock Thurs¬
day morning. At many places three
distinct shocks were felt. The first
was preceded by a mighty roar like
that of distant thunder. This shock
lasted fully 20 seconds, and a second
and third, not quite so violent, lasted
about 12 seconds. The vibrations were
from southeast to northwest.
Advices received from nearly every
city in the United States show that
the disturbance was general over a
large area of country. In the larger
cities tall buildings were rocked and
violently shaken, causing the inhabit¬
ants to rush from them in alarm.
Although the quake caused considera¬
ble fright and apprehension the dam¬
age was very slight. The only report
of a serious nature was received from
Gadsden, Ala., which was to the effect
that several houses were wrecked and a
number of people injured.
A special from Jackson, Miss., states
that the force of the shock was so
great that a number of buildings
were rocked perceptibly.' Should the
shocks occur again it is feared that the
capitol building will collapse, there
already being some cracks a foot wide
in the walls of the third story, and the
building generally is in a state of de¬
cay and a constant source of danger to
the employee.
