With respect to the New York State county elections, the fact that Tammany defeated tho Republican and Hearst fusion is considered notablo, becauso Mr. Hearst attempted to detach the Irish voto by attacking "Tho Times," and indulging in Anglophobia in his papers. , ■ Mr. Hearst's prospects of election to tho Presidency are considered to be extinguished. Tho Nebraska has gone Republican, which is' considered to be a rebuko to Mr. W. J. Bryan, Democrat candidate for tho Presidency!' , Kentucky and New Jersoy States have gone Republican, though Now Jersey City remains Democrat. The Mormon Mayor of Salt Lake City was defeated by a religious opponent. Mr. Hearst has been defeated for both the Mayoralty of New' York and the Governorship of Now York. State, the holder of which latter position, Mr. C. E. Hughes, aspires to the Republican representation for the Presidency. The arrival'of Mr. Hearst (formerly a Democrat) in the Republican camp was announced a few days ago. - It was as a Nebraska representative that Mr. Bryan (Democrat candidate for the Presidency) entered Congress, and he is still supposed to edit a'newspaper in the capital of that state, Omaha. At the beginning of ■ the SpanishAmerican war Mr. . Bryan was appointed colonel of ■ the' Nebraska Volunteers, but. urlike President Roosevelt, of "Roughrider" fanio, did not see any fighting.
