READING THE RETURNS.
Tlimiamls or Anxious Partisans Crowd
About The Dispatch Bulletin to Get
Early Information From the Fire
Mates Voting Yesterday.
They shivered while they shouted
Aronnd the bulletin,'
They groaned for the routed;
Cheered for the counted in.
But ere the sma' nee hours came
Some left the yelling group,
And quietly gave up the game.
For they -were In the soup.
It was a chilly night for standing still on
the pavement, but that didn't prevent
thousands from watching The Dispatch's
"bulletin hoad from 7:30 till long afler mid
night. The temperature was beyond the The
Dispatch's control, but in every other
respect the posting of the earliest election
returns on the big windows of The Dis
rxtcii's business office on Smithfield was a
success. The brilliant calciums across
the street threw a blaze of
light upon the sheets of white
paper on which were written clearly in big
Hark script the news of elect i on srom near
and far. The great audience that blocked
the street for many hours after 8 o'clock
could see every bulletin without straining a
Tnuscle, and even those who ran might read,
n was proved by the sounds of muffled ec
lhiiiaui which came from every Snnthsido
i,leetric car that slotvly carved its way
through (he crowd.
The Dispatch Was In It.
At half-past", before the bulletin circus
Tiftcan, Smithfield street was unusually
quiet for an election night Jvo
more than the number of peo
ple any dry evening brings out
were on the paement,and the tin horn of
the mall boy m a notably missing and yet
' not miscd. But it only took one brief
"bulletin announcing that the New York Sun
"believed FasM!tt had earned Xew York to
work a wonderful transformation in the
ecne- In less than fire minutes there were
snore people at the corner1 of Diamond and
Smithfield streets than a peculiarly excit
ing dog light could have solicited. As
"bulletin was pasted over bulletin tho throng
.grew. Even a Jew tin horns wafted rancous
melody upon the air, and Epnrts of cheering
,ynnctuated the news. The speculators
n ere chiefly content, however, to nso their
ves; there was but little enthusiasm and no
"disorder, although as the night went on
thousands were massed across the street in
I front of the bulletin board. Altera while a
-conple of policemen appeared, but they had
nothing to do beyond persuading the spec
tators that man is not adapted to wrestle
S 1th a six-ton electric car. It was indeed
' "wonderful that the heavy cars kept pushing
through the compact mass of humanity
without hurting a soul. The crowd was
tf:ood naturediy clastic, and even after
'it had increased to 2,000 or 3,000 swayed
"back and forward as the passage of a car or
carnage demanded. The sympathies of the
;-3najoiity naturally were Republican, but
'there were enough Democrats to hail with
heers the gradual change of the news from
"2Cew Yoik, which, as usual, was the earliest
ascertained, announcing the singular rise of
Flower's star in Xew York State outside the
metropolis. It was noticeable that nearly
'-'Verj body was inteiested more in the scant
returns fiom Ohio than anything else. Even
local news did not stir the crowd so much as
the first indications of the result of tho
j;reat struggle in Ohio. "When the first bul
letin, showing a gain lor McKinley in some
jireciuct or Columbus was posted, a man in
the center of tho crowd yelled, "Three
vhecrs for McKinley!" and they were given
leartily. The paramount importance of the
only fight upon national issues was evi
dently appreciated. Unfortunately, the nov
elty of the "Kangaroo ballot" prevented
aily lootings of Ohio's vote. Every driblet
of news bearing upon McKinley's chances of
election was eagerly scrutinized, and, if fa
"xorable to the cnampion of protection,
cheered.
The Ladies Interested.
Xot many women stopped to learn the fate
f candidates and the trend of the public
opinion, and those who passed close under
the bulletin board looked up at it with ap-
juehension as if It had been a loaded cannon
that might "o off at any moment. The men
in the crow d were of all walks and condi
tions of life, but principally from tho toiling
masses who do most of the voting anyhow.
Tudge Ewing paused for a few min
utes to sco the cause of a small ex
plosion of cheers, and went on
his way smiling when he saw that it was a
Teport of llepublican gains in 27 towns in
Massachusetts. Only one of the candidates
..graced the scene for a few minutes Clar
ence Burleigh who looked as if he were
tired out and aching for a pillow, although
, the signs of his election were plentiful at
that hour. Billr Brennen, with a cohort of
the nntemfied, was another interested
spectator, and lots of political workers of
both parties w ere in the franc ranks all the
time.
Besides the h'g crowd which kept changing
individually bat always increasing in size
s the hours rolled by. as many as could
glued tlirir faces to ilia windows of The
Disrvrrn office on the Diamond street side.
In a cheeiful but hopeless endeavor to read
tiie bulletins as they were transcribed from
the original telegrams to the big posters.
Considering how i-aw and ill-favored the
Tiightwas the calm and cheery temper of
the spectators seemed remarkable. One
old man with long white locks that it must
liave taken seventy years to whiten stood
on the edge of the curb for fully three
hours, and may have stayed there all night
forall the writer knows. Theonly glum and
gloomy Individuals were the Straightouts
who dritted in occasionally, and spelled out
the dampening letters of the worn "soup"
as the political situation was revealed.
rATcn was to the effect that the New York
Sun conceded Fassett's election. It caused
the Republicans to feel jubilantfor tho time.
As the reports came in from the interior of
the State m favor of Flower, tho tenor of
things changed.
A Few Funny Incidents.
There was a remarked degree or order pre
vailing about the polls generally and every
body was in the happiest spirits. A few
funny incidents occurred.
At a downtown voting precinct a resident
oftho ward came to vote late. He was
dressed in working clothes, and looked in
deed like a Hungarian, judging by his
swarthv and smoke-beerimed face. As he
stepped to tho window to put in his ticket
the Inspector, tin Irishman with a rich
brogue, asked: "Xaroe. plazeT"
The man gave his name and address.
"Hew long have yez lived here:"
"Eight years."
"Where did yez livo before coming to
rittsburg?" ,
"Missouri."'
"Missouri? Have yez been naturalized?"
The matter was explained satisfactorily,
a big laugh was given the Inspector, and the
mairs voto taken.
Up to four o'clock this morning the ear.
grating toots of a tin horn brigade were
heard, but most of the sensible citizens re
tired about midnight.
Very few intoxicated individuals were on
the streets, and every person concurred in
the opinion that a more orderly election
was never held in Allegheny county.
AMONG THE STRAIGHT0DTS.
Slow Returns Delude the Leaders of the
Party Into Believing Themselves Suc
cessfal Arch Rawand and Judge Fet
terraan Go Home Early.
The Straightont infant gathered its forces
together in the lonely quarters on Diamond
alley early last evening and clung to hope
with all the persistency of an old-time
political organisation. The quarters were
crowded as the returns came in slowly, but
among the anxious throng the familiar face
of Arch H. Kowand was only present in
the imagination of his followers. Early at
night he had gone to his home in "Verona
and will first learn of the Straightouts' de
struction through the columns of The Dis
patch. Judge Fetterman quit the field be
fore the evening shades darkened the way
to his farm back of 31t. "Washington, and,
like all his brother candidates for reform,
he passed the night without knowledge of
the' result. His eon remained in town until
midnight, and started home with the de
lusion, gained from returns at Straightout
headquarters, that the new-born party had
been successful. If it were ppssible that
they hadmet failure, he thought fraud could
be the only reason.
They Were Led Astray.
Results were very slow in arriving. 'They
were received by Chairman Fleeson and
Secretary Dunn. The other leaders -contented
themselves twit,h calling up by tele
phone, and until long after midnight they
were told that Straightout success was as
sured. They were especially sure that Por
ter bad defeated Burleigh for District At
torney, and Mr. Fleeson claimed until he
left that the majority would be 7,000. They
were led astray by the fact that
they had made no arrangements for re
ceiving returns and consequently received
reports only from their lriends. County
politicians with big majorities in their
pockets never failed to call attention to
their influence, but where they had not
succeeded In carrying their districts, they
stayed at home or else kept quiet.
Fraud and the ring were the tuples dis
cussed between the cheers. Mr. Fleeson
said he knew of four persons who had vio
lated the election law, and he promised that
all would be prosecuted. When asked if the
Straightout organization would be made
permanent, Mr. Fleeson said:
"It is already permanent. Whether we
win or lose, we will continue our organiza
tion." The Same Old Story.
Before leaving the city, Arch IT. Rowa-d
charged the Republicans and Democrats
with intimidating voters. He declared that
a large number of arrests will be made to
day. Another charge made by the Straisht
outs was that election l eturns hadbeen held
bnck purposely. Mr. Fleeson intimated that
the returns were being altered and said the
election boards were hanging back in order
to eet two davs' pay.
The straightouts not oniv say they will
continue the fight against the Republicans,
but they emphasized the statement last
night by trotting out Alderman Belnbauer
as an independent candidate for Mayor. A
card with the alderman's handsome features
as the only mark of identification was dis
tributed at headquarters during the evenini,
and while the funeral services of Fetterman,
Fitzsimmons and Johnson were being held,
Beinhauer's friends were loading him on
what may be the same train of destruction.
UNIFORMED TICKET HOLDERS.
CROWDS OX THE STREETS.
Incidents and Features of the Anxious
Gathering or People About the News
Centers The Crowds Good-Xatnred
All Sides Represented.
Tt was a decidedly cheerful and good
natured crowd that flowed like a great liv
ing mass through the principal avenues of
the city last night. Representatives of all
the parties were in the great gathering, and
the disappointed and the delighted flocked
together to satisfy thei'- curiosity and to
tecure information on the result of the
contest. .
The Straightouts were very pronounced
shouters at 'J o'clock, and the following of
the new organization stood in front of the
Lcadrr office on Fifth avenue, above Smith
field street, nnd grew numb and chilly Both
from the effects of a biting atmosphere and
the cold, cruel returns which came in.
John Newell drolly remarked when asked
vliat was the latest "from the Straightouts.
"'The Straightouts? They have changed
their name. It is now the "'Laidouts. "
Took Defeat yke Veterans.
The members of the new organization ac
cepted their defeat with good nature aiid
were among the last to leave the street.
Judge Slaglc and D. T. "Vaton rubbed
elbows in the Democratic crowd. Both
looked happy. The slowness of the returns
coming in caused much impatience and
inaiiv people went home early after reading
RlaorabIe bulletin to his paity. Many of
the-e will have disappointment stamped
upfin their brow in tho morning.
In the covndon. of tho hotels those tran
sient guesth who could not get home In tune
to vote w ei e extremely anxious about the
l cturn. Some bets wero made on the re
Milts in Xew York and Ohio at a late
bom "Oh," said a Xew Yorker nt the
Ituqnesne, "we have had propitious weather
mXew lork, and the fanner vote will be
out in full force This will help the Repub
licans, and Fassett will be elected."
"I'll lay you $50 that he won't, eagerly
spoke up a Democrat from Xew York.''
Well, icsponded the first, I have about $900
on Fassett, and 550 more will swell the pile.
Jfago."
Many such incidents were common about
public resorts and saloons.

The Straightouts Adopt a Xew Scheme at
Polling Places Archie Ro wand Angry at
Their Treatment Unprecedented Ac
tivity In AH City Precinct.
A new departure in election work was
brought into use by the "Straightouts"
yesterday whereby the polls were manned
with messenger boys. At almost every
polling place, one or two of the uniformed
lads of the street held big bunches of tickets
in their hands, and with full knowledge of
their own importance, attracted attention
with the cry that "Here you are for your
Straightouts." In their own minds, for the
time, they were politicians as big as
C L. Magee, and in hustling, they
discounted the old war horse ward worker,
who has grown old in service for his country
and his boss! The' boys were selected, ac
cording to a statemeat from Arch. H. Row
an d, because they could not be bought or
bullied to leave their work. They seemed to
imaglre thefntureof tho county depended
on how hard they pulled for the "Strnight-
cmis anu irequenuy reiwnea me nroeress
they were making. One of the youngest
telephoned nt 12 o'clock:
"Ive got 20 to vote my ticket and tho boy
in the next district says our .party is away
ahead." - -k
His idea of ownership was held by all, and
as there were about 300 of them there was a
very small interest left for tho men who had
hitherto been reputed as leaders.
The Infants In It
But the life of the -email boy wa3 not al
together pleasant. The bigger politicians
seemed to think he was infringing on rights
sacred to the hard-shell wire puller and
with sneer and sarcasm ridiculed the little
workers and the infant party that had hired
them. Of course it was all in fnn the men
claimed, but the boys thought it wasn't and
consequently they followed the "Straight
out" example and kicked. So did Arch H.
Rowand. He was the engineer at the
"Straightont" throttle during tho entire
day and all that was needed to open
the escape valve was for a boy to
report that "one of them ring ' men
has druv mo off." Such was ono
of the statements made by the youngster
stationed at the polling place ot the Second
precinct, Second warfk This is at the De
partment of Charities' office, just around the
corner from Rowand's office. When Archy
heard that one of his boys had been driven
offhe lowered Sunol's record in getting to
the place of disturbance.
An idea or the scene that followed cannot
be conceived by persons not acquainted
with the effervescent Mr. Rowand. A roar
ing cyclone, a gns explosion and
an earthquake taken together as a
star aggregation giving a pcr.'ormance in a
volcano would he as mild as a schoolgirl's
recitation in comparison with the "Straight
out" leader's wrath. He still cherishes tho
Riigerand says that to-day the perpetrator o
the deed will be arrested for stealing tickets
and burning them. The man comd not be
found. Constable Heiner who was standing
at the polls says the boys were not driven
away nnd no tickets were burned. A similar
charge by the "Straightouts" to tho effect
that boys were driven away from the Second
precinct or the Third ward, Allegheny, was
also denied. .
The Polls Closely Watched.
The Republican and Democrat ic organiza
tions never watched polling places more
closely than they did yebtcrday. They each
bad from two to a dozen men on hand, and
besides the Republicans were aided by the
war veterans watching tho interests of
Gregg and Morrison. Both parties had
flashy posters on every available spot, and
the man with the vest-pocket vote who ran
the-gantlet of the party workers without
telling who would receive his support, had
more brass in his composition than a book
ngent. Throughout the dav the battle was
closely contested, and the victory won was
at the price of as hard work as has ever been
done In Allegheny county on election day.
WITH THE DEMOCRATS.
Hany Faces of Other Election Xights Seen
Where Democratic News Came Thickest
Considerable Enthusiasm Manifested
by the Hoary-Hearted Party Warriors. j
The Democracy came to the scratch with
something of its old-time enthusiasm, al
though the fact that the crop was one
planted on the shades detracted somewhat
from the interest that would otherwise have
been manifested. Those who had not gone
oft on the Straightout tack, however, were
quite serene, professing confidence that the
regular ticket had succeeded.
At headquarters on Fourth avenue and
Cherry alley, there were some" half dozen
keeping Chairman Brennen company, but it
had been decided that there would not be a
reception there owing to the rickety con- J
dition of the stairway and the smallness of J
the ropm on the first story. It was not con
sidered safe to post bulletins in front as the
crowd must necessarily stand on Fourth
avenue and that would not be safe with
cable And electric cars passing every 90
seconds or thereabouts. So Mr. Brennen
advised all to go to the Post where of course
the party flavor was very pronounced.
Old Timers on Hand. .
Before 8 o'clock Wood street was packed
with an audience composed of many faces
that have been seen there on election nights'
ever since the office of the Port was moved
from Fifth and Wood. The old-timers dis
played more canes and more gray hair than
in 1ST0, but Dr. I. X. Pershing's eye did not
appear to have been dimmed or Ills natural
force to have been abated a" particle since
that time, and he showed himself
just as enthusiastic in the cause
of Democracy as ever. For a
long time the crowd was unusually quiet, as
the figures giving Flowei's vote in Xew York
were not sufficiently large to be altogether
comfortable. As they improved lateron the
audience thawed out. but take it all in all, it
was a sedate one. and -more interest was ex
pressed in Campbell's fate in Ohio than in
all the other contests combined.
Bvandbv the scores mado by Kennedy
and Fetterman began to appear on tho bul
letin and Democrats nudged each other and
remarked that the plnraper was sometimos
a good thing. Many acknowledged that they
feared Fetterman, hence the plumper.
There was a noticeable absence of tne cap
tains nt the office of tho Post, but it was
explained that they would likely put in ap
pearance later on. Abont 10 o clock. J. 1L
Guffy and F. M. Magee came 'out from some
quarter and wended their way townrd
Libertv street. T. O'Leary. Jr., materalized
on Fifth avenue at 10-30 and declared that he
was so tired out by his work at the polls
that he could scarce stand. He was not in a
talkative humor.
As fold as the Weather.
The County Democracv had a wire in their
room in the Mellon building, and Mr. An
drew F. Ogle read from time to time scraps of
comfort for the faithful who gravitated be
tween their room and The Dispatch
office according to the temper of
their pedal extremities. All in ail
the local result, Judging from
the lack of enthusiasm manifested over
a victory stamped it as a "non-partisan"
one, notwithstanding the Jeers with which
that adjective term has been greeted in
some quaitcrs. T. O'Brien elicited some
fun by recitations, showing how some old
fashioned Democrats scratched, and their
replieswhen solicited to votea whole tlckof.
Judge Kennedy's office was tnronged from
an early hour in the evening nnd as soon as
the resuit on the Soutbside was announced
he and Judge McClung were the re
cipients of numerous congratulations,
which were renewed when McKees
port and Homestead were heard
from, the news that Dravosburg had gone
straigntout, naving no enect to dampen en
thusiasm. F. M. Magee, after hearing from
the tw o cities and some of the boroughs, an
nounced that the regular ticket was safe by
at least 10 000. It was about "hoss and hoss,"
as many Republicans as Democrats being
present, the legal fraternity predominating
most of the time.
More than 'one person was struck by the
lion and lamblike mixture of the triumph.
While there wero no mourners aside from
the Straightouts, there wasn't as much to
shout over in tho local contest as there
would have baen had it been a clear-cut vic
tory for any party. A faint cheer would
come from a youthful Democratic throat at
intervals, but most or the unterrifled wero
content to allow the boys to shont and blow
their horns, and, of course, they could do it
with a will regardless of the result.
that the Straightouts carried It by a
small majority. In consequence Alder
man Hartman, "who1 is a stanch regular
Is alleged to have notified Constable Schltz
lnger of his office who worked hard for the
Straightouts that he might look for another
Job as ho had no further use for him. In the
third precinct of this ward a fnnny mix oc
curred. The ward had been rcdistricted and
when James McCabewho hnd been elected
Judgo or Electious in that precinct reported
to take charge, he found George Fox in
charge, ho having been appointed by the
uourt wnentnonew district wasiormeu. iiio
matter was finally settled nnd Fox remained
in clmrge.At Alderman Beinhauer's office less
than a dozen Straightouts were assembled.
The alderman said: "I cannot remember
when returns were so slow coming in. We
have not heard anything here." On being
informed how the upper Soutbside districts
were going he said: "Well, we have made a
brave fight, and, I think, this will be a lesson
to the ring .never, to attempt another such
trick in this generation."
0VZR IN ALLEGHENY.
The Regular Ticket Wins by a Majority of
1,000 to 1,500.
In Allegheny .City'little excitement was
displayed over the election. The increase
of debt, which was considered a leading
feature, was lost'sight of, and was defeated.
The regular nnd Straightout tickets were
tho only ones worked, and even w ith tliom
but little effort waB made. There was
a great falling off in the vote
in all the districts. The politicians attrib
uted this to the fact that the people had be
come disgusted with the campaign and did
not caro to vote.
About 25 people composed tho crowd gath
ered In Mayor wyman's office to hoar the re
turns last night. Xo particular interest was
shown to anything but tho regular
ticket. Tho returns came in slowly, and
up to 11:30 o'clock only 16 districts has been
heard from. These returns oniv trave tho
vote on tho Judiciary ticket and gaVe the
regular ticket a lead of a little over 100 votes.
Several prpminot Allegheny politicians
expressed their views on the election. They
were as follows:
Ex-Postmaster Myler If Allegheny gives
even 100 majority tho leeular ticket will be
elected In the county. 1 think thonch the
majority will be between 1,050 and 1,500.
Councilman David Winters We had a
small vote out in the Second ward nnd n
great deal of vest pocket oting w as done.
I don't think the ticket for tho increase of
debt will recoive over 5.0C0 votes in the city.
Cbairmnn Hensil Inmy aistrict,tho Tenth
precinct of the Third ward, only 187 votes
were polled out of our usual ;00. The'-e aro
a great many Germans in the district nnd
they all voted against tho increase of debt.
J. McLaughlin I feel confident that tho
regular tioket will be elected by n nice ma
jority. The Straightouts lost ground rapidly
dnring the last few days. The Increase at
debt will be badly snowed under. It is nil
due to the peoolo not knowing what it was.
The meetings were -not successful, and to
day when the property-holder came to vote
he imagined that to incieaso tho city's In
debtedness to $9jO,O0O meant a big steal for
some one.
The next morning Young claimed he found
a stiff hattond a pair of overalls lying on the
banks of the river.
Superintendent Math did not get word of
the happening nntll last night, so could not
investigate it. Policeman Livingstone, who
was on dnty at Woods' Run all day yester
day, said last night ho had not beard of the
happening.

THE VOTE POLLED.
DOWN AT THE POINT.
The Contest In the First Ward Passe Off
Peacefully.
Down in tho usually turbulent first ward
the election passed off so quietly that the
old-timers could scarcely realize that a con
test was going on. The Democrats and Re
publicans, who usurlly snap and snarl, and
fight and wrangle with each other from 7 to
7 o'clock on election day, surprised them
selves by working quietly and peaceably to
gether. There wos some friction now nnd
then over the State ticket, but the honors
were about equally divided and there was
little for either side to blow about during
tbe day.
Uncle Robert Elliot came in from the
Xineteenth ward bright and early nnd
assumed personal charge of the regular Ro-
Suuucan lorces ai mis uiiiwaru. jvs usual
e kept things moving and caused many
a voter to come forward who took so littlo
interest in the result, that he would not
otherwise bavo cast a ballot. Early in tho
evening the chief declared his belief that
the Straightouts would not get much over
09 votes in the First ward. How near he
came to the truth Is now well known.
The Straighouts In charge of the polls were
quiet, backward and bad little to do. At the
Second precinct theonly Straightout worker
was, bv various little schemes put up in a
Joking way, kept from the polls the greater
part or the time. .The Prohibition workers
tacked up their posters and tickets early in
the morning, and that was the last seen of
them. They declared their belier that they
would get at least three votes in the ward.
The only disturbance reported at the First
ward was at the schoolhouse district. A
teamstergoing by hurrahed lor the Straight
outs. A half dozen young fellows, who had
been indulging prettyireely and whose sym
pathies were the other way, immediately
ran out to the wagon and weie about to pull
the driver off his seat when Officer George,
O'Xeill put a stop to the disorder and dis
persed the crowd.
In the Second, Third and Fourth wards
the quietude was as marked as In the First.
Iu the Seconil ward the Straightouts were
only represented In two districts, and in
the others they had but little to do. In the
Fourth ward Magistrate McKenna and Coun
cilman King were In command, but they
missed tne excitement of former elections
and did not seem to enjoy it. Their only
satisfaction was gained irom the limited
number of Straightout votes cast.
In none of the downtown wards did there
seem to bo any, trouble over the new regis
try lists. Xow and tlienan old resident would
come up whose name was not on the list,
but be generally produced his tax receipt
and his vote was thereupon accepted. Thero
was a noticeable absence of challenging also
in the lower wards, where it is usually prac
ticed so extensively.
IT WAS LIKE A GBAVXYABD.
The Sonthslde Was Deserted last Night and
-Xo Interest Was Taken.
On the Soutbside tbe calmness of a mid
summer day prevailed. Very few people
wero on the streets and at the various head
quarters the utmost quietude prevailed. At
the Twenty-fourth yard school house not
a soul was visible exceptthe Janitor and he
did not care much who was in the lead or
who hadbeen elected. In the Twenty-fifth
ward none of the old timers could be found.
There was a rumor that the pcoplo
in charge of the Straightout tables
of the second precinct became intoxi
cated through the machinations of
their opponents and, deserted their post,
but it could not be verified. At Twenty-second
aad Carson streets bulletins were be
ing put out, but the number of enthusiasts
was very small. Xotover a dozen people
were present, and they only seemed to be
stragglers who merely stopped for a mo
ment to hear the latest news. At the Lotus
Club a special wire bad been put in. Mem
bers and visitors passed the evening bv
playing progressive seven-np, the prize's
being several handsome water colors and an
etching. Dr. Barchfield every now
and then consulted Smull and an
nounced the gain or loss in tho various
districts heard from.
At Seventeenth and Carson streets tbe
scattering returns were displayed for a
short time", but it was finally abandoned
and a blackboard substituted owing to the
small crowd assembled to hear the returns.
In Knoxville it was reported that some per
sons had stolen all the regular Republican
tickets and a fresh supply had to bo se
cured. This, however, did not affect the
vote as tt rolled up to its old-timo maoiity.
In the Twenty-seventh ward It was reported
Air. Magee and Others Say a 10,000 Ma
jority Is a Surety Reasons for the
Light Tote Cast Dne to Indifference.
At 1:30 a. jr. Chairman Gripp, after a most
arduous day's work, left the fire alarm office
for his home to take much-needed rest. C.
L. Magee then assumed full charge, receiv
ing and opening all telegrams from outlying
districts and wards.
Of the 418 voting districts in the county,
only 182 bad reported at 2 b'ciock.
.At the ratiotaken at that hour Mr. Magee
thought that 10,000 majority could bo
counted on for the Stsfte ticket.
In Pittsburg oniv about 23,000 votes wero
polled, when the iisul number is 39,000 at
an ordinary election. About 40,000 votes Mr.
Mageo said will be polled in the count
Senator Flinn said he believed 10.0C0 to 12,
000 of a Republican majority in the county
would be a safe' estimate.
Postmaster McKean, who sat at the side
of Mr. Magee, helping him to compile fig
ures, attributed a light voto to tho Indiffer
ence of tho people, and little importance
attached to tho offices as compared with
Gubernatorial or national election.
i,eorce von iionnhorst said: "wewiunave
10,000 majority easily in the county."
Clarence Burleigh was nervous and ex
cited, and flitted fioni the telegraph instru
ment to Mr. Magee with the alacrity of
Mercurv. He estimated the countv majority
from 12,000 to 15,000, or may be 18.10J votes.
Up at tho Tnriff Club a select coterie of
prominent Republican leaders discussed
the victory,-and tarried until the early gray
of morning broke through the windows.
ACE0SS THE FOOTLIGHTS.
How tlie Political' Xews Was Given to the
Theater Andiences I-ast Xlght.
All the theaters but the Duquesne kept
their andiences posted on tho outcome of
the elections last night, and for once tho
mania to go out between the acts and see a
man claimed very few victims. At the
Bijou Theater the combined attractions of
"After Daik," Mr. Corbett and election re
turns, drew an immense audience. The first
bulletins were read by Mr. Coibett,
and when he was obliged to prepare
for bis more congenial pastimo of pounding
Mr. Jim Daly's countenance, William A.
Brady took up In the-task in his characterof
Old Tom. .Mr. Brady read the telegrams with
dramatic effect, and made the audience
laugh as well as cheer.
At the Alvln Theater-Manager Drew, of
ino ".coys anu wins- tympany, gave out tno
news Irom the stage to an audience that
packed, the house to" the walls. As many
people as could comfortably bo contained in
the Grand Opera House listened to
tho news 'as ' it was taken off
the wires, and shouted across tho
footlights. In Harris' Theater a big white
drop was'let down between tho acts and
upon it the election news was leflectcd by a
stereopticon in tho balcony as fast as an
operator stationed in one of the boxes could
reel it off. At Williams' Academy a large
audience listened to the telegraphic dis
patches between the songs and dances. The
theaters have seldom held such uniformly
large audiences on- election night as last
night.

Ex-Senator Rntan Says it Was for the
Straightouts.-
Ex-Senator Rutan came over to the city
from Allegheny yosteiday afternoon and re
ported that on his side "of the river no man
could tell "how things wero going.
"The vestpocket vote," he said, is going
to be a'big factor and it looks to me as if it is
Straightout.' The Republicans and Demo
crats did not scn'd out many tickets, but tho
'Straightouts' did, and therefore I think
they ate getting the benefit of tbe quiet work
I also notice. that tho 'Straightont' vote was
larger in the forenoon than after dinner.
The Republican State dandidatcs seem to be
losing ground -with their own paity and
making np.with tho soldier vote.
"Morrison is being cut by many Republi
cans and in return is holding his own with
stickers ' used by Democratic personal
friends. The ticcets' are being fearfully
scratched nnd pasted, and the result will
not be a criterion of party strength."
Supposed Pickpockets Pinched.
The only- arrests in the downtown dis
tricts yesterday wcremade by Detectives
Coulson, Robinson, and Fitzgerald' about 10
o'clock: last night, who picked up three men 1
circulating among the crow Us before the
vailous bulletin boards. , The detectives
watched, them ,for some time, and finallv
concluded, to arrest them as suspicions
characters. At the Central station they
wore unable to give a good account of them
selves, and claimed Chicago nnd Hamilton
as their hpmes. They "gave their names as
Tom King, James Cummings and Tom
Murphy. -

Elected In Michigan to Succeed a Democrat
Who Recently Died.
Xew York, Xov. 3. The Republicans have
gained one Congressman and also the honor
of owning the tallest man in the State as the
result of to-day's elections in the six
districts in which vacancies ex
isted and for which special elections
bad been called. There are two vacancies
still; one In Tennessee, where tbe election
will Do held tbe latter part of this month,
and one in Virginia, to bo filled hi Decem
ber. The Republican gain is in tho Fifth
Michigan district, where ex-Representative
Charles E. Belknap Is elected over John S.
Lawrence, Democrat,-by about 1,200, to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of M. H.
Ford, Democrat. From tbe First South Da
kota district, where the death of Represen
tative Gamble, R., left a vacancy, no returns
have been received, but Williams, the Be-'
publican candidate, is undoubtedly elected
by a large majority.
