The campaign was an oxeltlng one,

than the presidential election a year

Hoesun, tho democratic nominee, for
president of the board of nldermen and
E. M. Grout, for the past four years
democratic president of the borough
of Brooklyn, being chosen for comp
troller. The great feature of the voting was
the early casting of ballots. This ap
plied to the brown stone as well as the
tenement bouse districts. There was a
drizzling rain up to 0 a. in., but after
that hour there was nothing to keep
even the most fastidious voter from the

Senator CliHunccy M. depew dropped
his ballot in the box at 0:45 a. in., aud
Mayor Van Wyck waited nutll 3 p. m.
The practical use of a voting machine
was demonstrated In the Eighteenth
district of the First assembly district,
Brooklyn, and the result was known at
D:02 in the afternoon, immediately aft
er the polls were closed. No difficulty
was experienced In recording the vote,
and In many instances men cast their
votes In less than three seconds.
Richard Croker at 8:45 o'clock last
night conceded the election of Seth
Low, fusion candidate for mayor, but
Mr. Croker was not willing at that time
to give up the county ticket.
He said he was much disappointed
at the Brooklyn vote, as he had ex
pected Mr. Shepard to make a good
showing there, It being his home bor
ough. As to tho causes for the defeat of the
democratic ticket, Mr. Croker said he

NEW YORK, Nov. O.-Reports re
ceived from the various sections of
New York state show that the Repub
licans will retain control of the lower
house of the state legislature, the num
ber of Republican and democratic as
semblymen not differing materially
from the figures of preceding years.
In the various municipal contests re
ported from up the state the most In
terestlng elections noted were those of
Albany, Troy, Rochester, Syracuse aud
Buffalo. The city of Albany wiw car
rled by the Republicans, ex-Senator
Hill taking no active part In the local
canvass. The election In Troy was a
lively one, a number of arrests for Ille
gal voting being made.
Ex-United States Senator Murphy
headed the fight for the candidate of
the democrats, while former Governor
Black wag the manager of the cam
palgn for the Progressive democratic
Republican ticket, dan lei E. Conway
candidate for mayor, supported by ex
Governor Black, wag easily elected. In
Buffalo the entire Republican city and
county ticket were elected, lSrastus C,
Kolght, the state comptroller, being
chosen mayor. The result In Rochester
was close, but Mayor Warner's friends
claim his election over the Republican
candidate. In Syracuse Mayor Me
Gulre, for a number of years past the
, democratic mayor of the city, was de
felted by tho Republican nominee.

Stories Illustrating the Character
of Our New President.
He la an Approachable Man and I)la

Ilandalinke lit- tntare lie
la a Filthier.
Anecdotes in which President lioose
velt figures as the star arc almost as
numerous as those told of Lincoln.
Possessing a striking personality, and
having a habit of doing and laying
, things out of the ordiwary, his words
and deeds are always interesting.
President Roosevelt Is not only an
approachable man, but he displays a
corUiulity toward people he meets
that makes a lasting Impression.
Wheu one Is introduced to Mr. Uoose
velt he cannot help feeling that he is
an object of no little Interest to him.
The new acquaintance goes away feel
ing that the greeting was not one of
a mere formality. If he has had a
story to tell he knows thot it has been
heard and absorbed. A new puge at
the state cnpitol took his first note to
Roosevelt when governor with fear
and trembling. Thoughts of the
greatness of the man he was to see
overwhelmed him. When he reap
peared from the governor's ofiice after
delivering the note hs was all smiles,
and to another page he remarked en
thusiastically: "Soy, ain't Teddy a
peach?" This is not a fumiliarity.
That same boy would run seven miles
for Mr. Roosevelt and be willing to
punch the boy who said anything dis
respectful. He entered the governor's
presence expecting to be overawed, he
cam out with the impression that he
had known him for a long time and was
glad of it.
Mr. Roosevelt's Interest in animals Is
almost as great as in man. He was
walking from the capitol ot Albany
cue day, accompanied by a friend,
when he noticed two sturdy but tired
horses striving to huul a heavy load
up the ice-covered street. One slipped.
Immediately Mr. Roosevelt stopped,
and, with an absorbed expression on
his face that he shows when deeply in
terested, watched the horse regain his
feet. The horses stuinbltd again on

Chief Executive.)
the iee. "Stop a moment," Roosevelt
said to the driver. "Drive sideways."
The driver did not recognize the gov
ernor. He was about to say something
unpleasant when the governor caught
his eye. Then the man zigzagged his
horses up the hill past the ice with
never a word. The grim look on
Roosevelt's face disappeared just as
quickly as it came, and the next min
ute he had tipped his hat to a little
child who saluted in true military
fashion.
Roosevelt is by nature a fighter.
He has all the stubborn tenacity that
was inherited with his Dutch blood,
coupled with almost a Celtic willing
ness to combat anyone or anything,
anyhow or anywhere he deems prop
er and necessary. When he fought
against two parties to push through
the bills giving Controller Coler, of
New York, the right to pass upon
prices paid by departments for
goods purchased and supervision to
the confession of judgments the
leaders of his party came to him and
said:
"Governor, you are building up a
powerful rival to you for next fall."
"Maybe so," he replied, "but he is

him." And he got them through.
While a police commissioner in
New York city, Mr. Roosevelt did not
depend on the reports of bis sub
ordinates to learn whether his or
ders were being obeyed and that the
reforms he recommended were being
carried out, but pursued the simple,
effective method of personally visit
ing the patrolmen of tho force on
their beats at night. On one of these
trips he found two policemen drink
ing ia a saloon. "Is this the way you
do your duty? he asked, quietly.
Neither of the officers had seen the
commissioner before and they took
him for some prying stranger.
i MWhat's that to you?" replied one of
the men. "Get out of here or we
wilt throw you out." Mr. Roosevelt
did not get out. Nor did he lose his
temper, tie replied in ine same
quiet voice: "No, I will not go out.
I am Police Commissioner Roosevelt,
and 1 am looking for men like you
who io not obey my orders. Come
