Show THE ELECTION, - REPUBLICAN VICTORY IN 7g THE NATION. Democrats Elect Governor in Rhode Island, Nebraska and California. Nevada, Dem-ocratic. Dem-ocratic. Congress Remains Republican By a Small Majority. J In the country at large, notwith- '. standing the returns show Republican Repub-lican victories on state tickets, the .- Democrats have succeeded in gaiir- ing some congressmen, and at this time there is a bare possibility that the Democrats may even control the next Congress. New York has gone Republican by a surprisingly small majority, a not very flattering prospect for the President's own state. In Colorado the Democrats get the legislature, while the Republicans Republi-cans gain the Governor and state officers. Nebraska gains a Democratic congressman, while the governorship governor-ship is still in doubt. Idaho, "Washington and Wyoming Wyo-ming appear to be solidly Repub- New Hampshire and Connecticut Connecti-cut make a clean Republican sweep. Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan Mich-igan are unchanged. In Maryland the Democrats elect two out of six congressmen. In Ohio the Democrats gain one o additional congressman. Iowa stays with the high tariff party. The situation in Delaware is extremely ex-tremely doubtful as to the legislature, legisla-ture, the Democrats, however, having hav-ing made gains which may give them the naming of one of the two Senators. The last legislature was so close that a deadlock resulted, and it is possible the same may occur again. In New Jersey the Democrats made gains but failed to get control con-trol of the state. lican. In Montana the Democratic factional fac-tional light has given the State to the Republicans. In Nevada everything indicates a fusion victory for Democracy. California returns favor the election elec-tion of the Democratic governor. Pennsylvania is still in control of Quay, with 150,000 to the good. The Democrats get two or three of the congressmen. The South is solidly Democratic at this election, the Republicans being shut out in the congressional districts of North Carolina, where they now have representation, and a Democrat will succeed Pritchard as United States senator. All the other Southern states will have solid delegations in both houses of Congress. This is the story in brief. RESILT IN THE STATE OF UTAH. Returns Indicate Howell and McCarty are Elected by About Four Thousand. The Utah returns are somewhat of a surprise, notably the change of Cache and Wasatch counties to the Republican column. Howell, congressman, and McCarty, Supreme Su-preme Judge, are elected by good majorities, probably 4000 or more. The Legislature is Republican by a good majority, which insures the election of a Senator to succeed Joseph L. Rawlins. The Deseret News of yesterday said there are but two avowed candidates for the United States Senatorship Senator Sena-tor Rawlins, Democrat, and Apostle Apos-tle Reed Smoot, Republican. If Apostle Smoot insists upon his election, we are willing to concede it to him, for it must be admitted that his candidacy was largely instrumental in-strumental in winning the victory.

The one bright spot in the State is in Salt Lake, where Simon Bamberger, Bam-berger, Democrat, defeated Jacob Moritz, Republican, the brewery and saloonman, in the race for the State Senate. It is surprising that the Republicans could not swallow the brewery product along with the rest of the dose. In the Legislature the Republicans Republi-cans will probably have 30 majority major-ity on- joint ballot, the Democrats probably having 5 Senators and 8 or 10 Representatives. Summit county is Democratic and Park City undoubtedly loses the county seat fight. The complete returns will show that the Democrats carried several counties in the State, and slso cut the Republican majority in others. THE VOTE OF MANTI.

The average Re- o publican majority was about 86, against something over 200 two years ago. While there was much scratching done, yet the result is practically the same party vote as in former years. Especially is this the case in the county. |
