8. The re-suit of Tuesday's elections may bo summed up as follows: In Kentucky republican claims and democratic concessions show that not only has tho full republican state tickot been elected but that tho com plexion of the legislature assures a republican successor to Unltod States Senator Ulnckburn. lJradley plural ity for governor is from lfl.OOO to 17,000. In Pennsylvania complete returns from all but six counties In the stato show a plurality for Haywood (with tho vote In the live counties estimated) of a republican gain of 81,705, as compared with lS'Jil. In Nebraska tho best indications are that Norvul is elected by over 10,000.

The vote of the administration or 'sound money" wing of tho democratic party is four-fifths of tho entire pnrty voto of the state, probably This is a very surprising feature of the election. In Maryland not only have the repub- llcanselectod their entire stato and Hal- timpre city ticket, but have carried the legislature, which, according to figures at hand now, will stand in tho lower house G9 republicans and 31 democrats, and in tho senate 15 democrats and 11 republicans. Lowndes (rop.) for gov ernor curried the city of llaltimore by a plurality of over 12,000. His plurality in the stato is about in, 000.

Tho republicans have elected 10 senators, democrats with in doubt Tho repuolicans elected 29 representatives, democrats 7, with 9 in doubt In Ohio Chairman Anderson conceded the Btate to the republicans by 90,000. Chairman Kurtz said HushnelPs plur-nlity would not be less than 100,000. Tho voto for Coxcy, populist, will be about 15,000 less than last year, tlio populist voto of 40,000. James II. Gar field, son of the late president, was elected state senator from the Twenty-fourth nnd Twenty-sixth districts by an enormous plurality.

In New York the total vote, unoffi cially compiled, gives Palmer, the can-didatofor secretary of state, at tho head of tho republican ticket, a total of 573,525, whilo his democratic oppo nent, King, polled 505,500, making tho republican plurality 60,935. While this is, of course, a fulling off from tlie phenomenal plurality of 150, 10S given to Gov. Morton last year, it shows a lrrgo gain over l'altner's plurality of 21,484 iu 1803, the last oflico year, ltoth branches of tho state legislature will bo republican by a mnjority of more than two to one.
