tSrrCIAl. TELEGRAM TO TOE DISPATCH.
Columbus, Nov. 9. "Keep your eyes
on Ohio," remarked ex-Governor Campbell
at the National Democratic Convention at
Chicago in response to a demand for a
speech.
The figure which the Buckeye State will
cut in this year of grace 1892 on the Presi
dents! results promises to be the most sen
sational and acrobatic in its hiBtory. For
the first time since the existence of the
Republican party the result on the Presi
dental electors is in doubt. For the first
time since Ohio gave Lincoln a plurality of
nearly 35,000, in 1860, will the Republican
plurality be less than 1,000, if there is any
at all.
Waiting on the Official Figures.
The situation, just 24 hours after the polls
have closed, is that it will require the offi
cial count to determine the result in Ohio.
The official returns irom nearly all oi the
88 counties have been received, and it is
anybody's race at this stage of the game.
The case has become so grave that the Har
rison electors would find cause to congrat
ulate themselves if tbey had a safe plu
rality of 1,000, while Hon. & M. Taylor
and the rest of the Republican ticket will,
as the jockeys say, have to make a des
perate finish under the whip to win.
The country may also be treated to the
spectacle of the election of the Presidental
ticket and the defeat of the State ticket
It is more than likely, however, that the
S ate ticket will be secured if the Harrison
electors arc chosen.
A Surprise All Along the Line.
The republicans met with a regular
ground swell as regards the resnlts on Con
gressmen. The Democrats have captured 11,
of the 21 Congressmen. Colonel C. L. Poor-
s
SLUMPED
OVER
man, of the Sixteenth district, claims his
election by 84 votes, while the Democrats
claim the election of his opponent, Albert
J. Pearson, by over 100 votes. It can
readily be seen there will be a contest in
this district, and the chances are that if that
case is ever referred to a Democratic House
Colonel Poorman Is not likely to wear his
Congressional honors long.
Ex-Governor James Ashley, of Toledo,
still claims his election by a small plurality
over Byron Bichie, the Democratic nom
inee in the Kinth district, but the Demo
crats figure the plurality in Bichie's favor.
Another contest, probably.
The defeat of Thomas B. Morgan, the
Bepublican nominee in the Eighteenth dis
trict, is conceded, and the old McKinley
district will be represented in the next
Congress by Dr. George P. Ikert, of East
Palestine.
Barter and Johnson Great Runners.
The election of Tom Johnson (D.) over
O. J. Hodge, at Cleveland, and Hon.
Michael Harter over E. G. Johnson, in the
the Fourteenth, was conceded Tuesday
night Besides these there were six dis
tricts which, under the new apportionment
last winter, were made strongly Demo
cratic. It will therefore be seen that the
next Ohio delegation in Congress will not
be 15 Bepublicans to six Demosrats, as was
expected when the Legislature pasted the
redisricting bill. The delegation will be
about evenly divided, with the chances in
favor of the Democrats eventually having
11 of the 21.
The vicious inroads on the pluralities in
Bepublican districts had mnch to do with
melting away the plurality on the head of
the Bepublican ticket A late telegram
also indicates the Democrats may be suc
cessful in the other Cleveland district
The Democrats Surprised Themselves.
The avalanche in Ohio was as much of a
surprise to the Democrats as to the Be
publicans. When Chairman Farley of the
Democratic State Committee retired about Z
A. M. to-day, he was eminently satisfied
with Cleveland's election, and was very
willing to concede Ohio to the Bepubli
cans by 15,000 plurality.
Colonel W. A. Taylor, the head of the
Democratic State ticket, was also anxious to
hold the plurality down to that figure. He
slept under the soothing assurance that the
plurality would not reach 20,000 to 23,000,
as claimed by Chairman Dick. In fact,
Chairman Farley left for his home at Cleve
land early this morning still laboring under
the delightful delusion that the Bepublican
party would not exceed 15,000. He hadn't
the faintest conception of the true situation.
He had a date to go on a hunting expedi
tion with a party and he hurried off to meet
that hilarious engagement only too glad to
be rid of the irksome duties of running the
Democratic campaign. Mr. Farley will
probably be surprised when he learns what
large political game his associates are now
trying to bag.
Colonel Al Carlisle In Charge.
The Democratic State headquarters were
leit in charge of Colonel Al Carlisle, Colonel
Taylor and others. During the forenoon
the reports lrom the various counties came
in and showed remarkable Democratic
gaius. This was especially true of Cuya
hoga county and other counties in the Con
gressional districts where the Democratic
nominees have overcome Bepublican plu
ralities The Democrats were rather slow in sizing
ud the situation, and even that courageous
statistician, Colonel Taylor, did not have
the nerve to claim his election for some
time. The Democrats continued to feel
more rosy as the returns came in and began
to reduce Governor McKinley's plurality
of 21,511 last fall at the rate of 2,000 or 3, 000
at a clip. Finally Colonel Taylor did his
great juggling act on figures, turned all the
Democratic 6s into 9s, and announced with
considerable flourish that fie would be
elected by 1,200 plurality.
The Republican Plurality Goes Glimmering
No one fell dead, as it was evident to the
non-exnerts that the nominal Bepublican
plurality had gone glimmering. The report
spread like wildfire and created no small
sensation in political circles. The possible
defeat of Ohio Bepublicans in a Presidental
election was all the talk in the hotel lob
bies. During the afternoon the Democrats
strengthened their claims. They claimed
that the Cleveland electors would be chosen,
and that Ohio, like Illinois, had been swept
from party moorings and must hereafter be
classed as a doubtfnl State in tne Presi
dental fight They also claimed the elec
tion of John S. Ellen (Democrat) over W.
J. White in the Twentieth district By
supper time Colonel Taylor claimed his
election by 1,500 to 2,000.
Meantime there was a good deal of con
sternation in the Bepublican ranks.
When Chairman Dick and Secretary
Malloy left the City Hall, after hearing
the returns last night, they confidently
expected. the plurality would reach 20000.
Soon on the Anxious Seat
By noon tbey were on the anxi ous los
Chairman Dick did not go to the Bepubli
can State headquarters, but remained in his
room at the Nell House. The telegrams
from the various county chairmen were sent
to his room, where the estimates were
made. Hon. S. M. Taylor, Joe Smith, Dr.
Taylor, Frank Bomaine, W. S. Gilbert and
other Bepublicans took a hand in figuring
on the results.
By noon Chairman Dick had reduced his
majority to 12,000, and continued gradually
to scale it down until by supper time it
fluctuated aronnd 10,000. A table was pre
pared by Mr. Gilbert in which the plurali
ties by counties were given.
The unofficial reports from counties were
set down and close estimates were made on
the other counties. A computation on this
basis about 3 P. SI., with about 30 counties
still out, gave S. M. Tavlor nearlv 5,000
plurality. It dwindled, however, until a
telegram from Cleveland announcing Cuva
hoga county had given W. A Taylor 3,793
plurality was received. This nearly anni
hilated the entire Bepublican party, and it
was known then that the vote would be
very close.
A Candidate Turns Pale.
When Hon. 8. M. Taylor read the Cleve
land telegram he turned quite pale and
trembled as if he had just been sentenced
to be shot The agony in the Bepublican
ranks about that time was thick enough to
cut, and even Senator Jerry Carpenter had
passages of Scripture appropriate for the
occasion. He wouldn't believe "we were
gone until the official vote was canvassed."
From then on the situation improved, and
Mr. Taylor's plurality vacillated between
300 and 500.
The situation became so interesting at 10'
p. M. that the two State .Committees com
pared notes and exchanged information in
past and fonnd that they did not vary
materially on the estimated result At the
Democratic headquarters they had secured
semi-official returns from all but three
counties in the State, and the committee
claims the State on these figures bv a
plurality of 743.
Democrats Claim a Majority of 1,000.
' The three counties are estimated and.-
they think the official returns may vary the
PITTSBURG, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10
result slightly, but feel safe in stating that
the Democratic ticket will be elected by
from 800 to 1,000 plurality. Tho counties
to be heard from are Vinton, Monroe and
Wyandot, all strong Democratic counties,
and the drift of gain is in the direction of
the Democratic ticket
While the committee has not the detail
figures to give, they claim 11 of the 21
Congressmen. At Bepublican headquarters
Candidate Taylor, for Secretary of State,
was asked what he claimed, and said he did
not know what to make ot it, as nothing of
the kind had ever been heard of before in
Ohio.
"Would you ear that you will be
elected?" "No, I think it best to say that
it will require the official count to settle
it Our,figures show 116 plurality for me
with the counties of Geauga, Monroe, Vin
ton and Wyandot to hear from, though we
have made a careful estimate of these."
Almost Heady to Concede It
Mr. Taylor says he noted that he ran
about even with the electors and if the
Democratic ticket is elected be thinks it
will take the Cleveland electors with it It
was only after consultation with friends
that Taylor (Rep.) refused to admit that he
was defeated. On the showing he believes
that would be the proper thing to do.
Democrats are particularly rejoicing over
the defeat of Morgau for Congress and the
victories of Harter and Johnson. McKin
ley's county of Stark turned up with a
Democratic plurality estimated at 1,400.
Mahoning county, including the city of
Youngstown, went for Blaine by 1,500, but
Cleveland now carries it by 700.

MORGAN MASSACRED.
Tho Old McKinley District Goes for the
Democratic Candidate by Nearly 1,000
Majority A Surprise In tho Eastern
Ohio Counties.
Youngstown, Nov. 9. Special The
bitter contest waged throughout this
(Eighteenth) district between Thomas B.
Morgan, the Bepublican nominee, and Dr.
George Ikert, the Democratic candidate,
operated to bring out an enormous vote.
In Mahoning county, at least, it also oper
ated to swell the Democratic majority, by
the gains that are shown in the returns
from nearly all the voting precincts. Be
turns from the district complete to-night
show that Morgan's plurality in Colum
biana county is 1,200. Ikert has carried
Stark county by 1,243 and Mahoning by a
plurality of 1,060. The official canvass ot
the vote will increase rather than diminish
the Democratic vote. The Bepublican Con
gressional Committee concede Ikert's elec
tion, and the most conservative figures
make his plurality 800.
All day the Congressional Committee has
been under a steady fire of questions, from
far and near, as to "the truth ot the first re
ports that "the old McKinley district" was
in danger. But it is lost to the Repub
licans, and naturally the next inquiry is
"Why?" There can be no reasonable ques
tion that the bitter feeling engendered
among the workingmen of the district re
garding his alleged hostility to organized
labor, a feeling that was intensified by the
unfortunate labor troubles elsewhere, is
largely responsible for his defeat It was
more a personal than a party issue. An
estimate of ihe votes, especially in this
city, advances a notable explanation'! the
great gains made by the Democrats all
around.
An unusually large number of straight
Democratic tickets were voted, and the Re
publicans contend that those who desired to
defeat Morgan, .and to place it beyond
question that their votes would be recorded
against him, placed an X-mark in the ring
at the top of the Democratic ballot, making
it a straight Democratic ticket, and in this
manner it was voted. J. G. Butler, Jr.,
manager of the Briar Hill Iron and Coal
Company, on being asked his opinion of the
political result in this county, said: "It
means that the men who celebrated last
night celebrated their own defeat as far as
any future advance of wages in the Mahon
ing Valley is concerned, if the policy of the
Democratio party is carried out"
HARTER'S DECISIVE VICTORY.
Johnson's Friends Claim That the Sherman
Faction Knifed Dim.
Mansfield, O., Nov. 9. Special In
this, his home district, Senator Sherman
had supposed the district was sale for 1,600
majority under normal political condi
tions, but the returns show that Harter will
have a majority of 3,500. This county
gives Harter 2,033 majority COO ahead of
the ticket Knox county gives him 560
majority, Ashland 965 and Huron 200. The
latter county usually gives a Bepublican
majority of 1,600. Johnson was expected
to carry his own county, Lorain, by 2,100.
He got only 1,040. A member of the Be
publican Congressional Committee said:
"It was the old Sherman-Foraker fight
over again. Johnson has paid dearly for
his alleged loyalty to Foraker in this view
ot the case. The Sherman men knifed him
without stint or scruple. Senator Sherman
mads a neighborly call on Mr. Harter this
morning, and congratulated him as warmly
as the frigid Senator ever does anything of
the kind."
That Senator Sherman feels badly over
the defeat of the Bepublicans in general is
beyond question. Even his traditional re
serve could not conceal the fact He left
for Washington to-night.
Factional Fights Seduce Majorities.
FlNDLAY, Nov. 9. Special The usual
Bepublican majority of 400 in Hancock
county has been wiped out, and the Demo
crats carry it by 200. The Democrats elect
their whole county ticket, with the excep
tion of Sheriff! by majorities running from
150 to 800. In this (Eighth) Congressional
district Colonel Strong, the Bepublican
candidate for Congress, has 1,500 majority
over Fremont, Democrat The usual Be
publican majority in the district is not less
than 4,800. Factional fights are largely re
sponsible lor tne itepuDiicau reverses.
Pearson Probably Fleeted.
Steubenville, Nov. 9. Specal The
complete returns from Jefferson county
give the Bepublican electoral ticket 1,308
plurality. Poorman hasaplurality of 1,120.
Pearson, for Congress, is given the election
by 150 votes. The result in the district
may take the official count to determine.
The Prohibitionists polled 00 votes in the
county, and the People's party 200.
An Unprecedented Result.
Akbon, O., Nov 9. The entire Demo
cratic county ticket, consisting of seven
officers, has been elected in this county by
majorities ranging from COS to 1,694. It is
a result without precedent in the history of
the county.
Train Robbers Find Small Booty.
Guthklts, Okla., Nov. 9. The south
bound Santa Fe train, due here at 11:25 last
night, was held up and robbed by five
masted men at Wharton, a lonely station
in the Cherokee Strip, where a train has
been robbed before. The only booty secured
was the arms of the -trainmen- and a few,
small packages of express matter.

RrFCUL TELKORAM TO THE DISFATCn.3
New Yobk, Nov. 9. The landslide has
carried with it a Democratic majority in
the Lower House of Congress second only
to that secured in the clean sweep of
1890. The most conservative esti
mate heard places the Democrats
over the Bepublicans at 75. There
is much speculation as to the Senate, and
the weight of opinion is that the Populist
Senators will hold the balance of power in
that body. Some Bepublican leaders think
the party control of the Senate may be
maintained by a narrow margin.
The Sun sums up the situation thus: It is
probable that the Democrats will have a
majority in the United Statesafter the 4th
of March next The present Senate is
divided as follows: Republicans, 47; Demo
cratic 39; Independents, 2. The result of
Tuesday's election is the probable loss of
eight Bepublican Senators, one each in the
State of California, Kansas, Montana, Ne
braska. Nevada, New York, Wisconsin and
Wyoming. The Republican Senators thus
retired are Messrs. Felton, Perkins, Pad
dock, Stewart, Hiscock, Sawyer and War
ner. One State Still in Doubt
The result of the election In Montana is
still in great doubt, with indications favor
ing the Democrats and the retirement of
Senator Sanders, which would be a loss of
eight Republicans. In California, New
York, Wisconsin and Wyoming Democrats
will succeed theso Bepublicans Senators
whose terms expire", while in Kansas,
Nebraska and Nevada the Populists will
each gain a Senator.
It is likely'thnt r. Stewart, of Nevada,
at "present "a" Jtepublfckn Senator, wHITou
chosen to succeed himself, and will be
classed as a silverite. He will, however, be
apt to vote with the 'Populists, as he and
Francis G. Newlands, of Nevada, who has
been elected to the House as a silverite, in
dorsed the Alliance platform in order to
carry the State against Harrison. In Kan
sas and Nebraska straightout Populists will
be elected and in the former State Charles
Van Wyck, the defeated Populist candidate
for Governor, will probably be chosen Sen
ator, as he has been in charge of the Alli
ance campaign in the State.
Figuring on the Possibilities.
Should the Legislature of Montana have
a Democratio majority the Senate after the
4th of March will probably contain 39 Be
publicans, 45 Democrats and 5 Independ
ents, including Kyle, of South Dakota, who
styles himself an "Indecrat" If Mon
tana succeeds Mr. Sanders with a Bepub
lican'there will be 40 Bepublicans, 43 Dem
ocrats and 5 Independents.
The returns from California, Kansas and
Montana, however, are still incomplete,
but should the claim of the Bepublicans be
made good in those States the prospective
majority of the Democrats in the Senate
would not be imperiled, as the body would
then contain 42 Bepublicans, leaving the
combined opposition of Democrats and In
dependents 46 votes. .
A Complete List Not Heady.
An Associated Press dispatch from Wash
ington says: Because of the lack of re
turns from all of the Congressional districts
in the country it is yet impossible to make
a cnniple list of the membership in the next
House of Representatives.
From the information at hand there is
little doubt that the Democrats will have a
majority of at least 88 over the Bepublic
ans, with a probability of increasing that
figure until full count is known. At this
hour there is a number of districts from
which no sufficient return has been made
to justify the placing of the candi
dates. These are as follows: Ala
bama, 3 districts; California, 7; Illinois, 8;
Iowa, 1; Kentucky, lj Louisiana, 1; Massa
chusetts, 1; Minnesota, 7; Missouri, 1; Ne
braska, 2; New York, 2; Ohio, 1; Pennsyl
vania, 6; West Virginia, 4, and Wisconsin,
L Omitting the districts above specified, a
careful compilation on the basis of returns
received shows that the representation of
the three parties in the House will be as
follows: Bepublican, 107; Democratic, 195:
People's, 8.
The Situation in the Senate.
At present there are in the Senate'47 Be
publicans, 39 Democrats and 2 Farmers'
Alliance men. It looks now as though
after the 4th of March next there will be
43 Bepublicans, 43 Democrats and 2
Farmers' Alliance representatives. One
of these Senator Peffer, of Kansas would
probably vote with the Republican party.
Should Senator Kyle inrist on being on
the other side of any momentous question,
there could easily be a tie, and this would
have to be broken by the casting vote of the
Vice President, who would necessarily vote
with the Democrats.
The terms of 29 members of the Senate
will expire March 3 next. Eighteen of
these are Republicans and 11 are Democrats.
Oi the latter there was some doubt as to the
return of three Faulkner, of West Vir
ginia; Turpie, ot Indiana, and Gray, ot
Delaware. Figures already in would seem
to show quite clearly that Senator Faulk
ner will undoubtedly be re-elected. It is pos
sible that the same disposition may be maJe
ot Senator Gray's case, but nothing definite
can be assumed until the political status of
the State is made more clear. It it is true
that Indiana has gone Democratic, Mr.
Turpie will probably succeed himself!
Some Sure of Ko-Electlon.
The other Democrats whose terms expire
March 3 are practically sure ot re-election;
or, it there should be personal trouble be
tween themselves and their Legislatures,
the places the Senators vacate would
be filled . by .members -of the Demo
cratio party, Of 18 Bepublican Senators.
c
1892 - TWELVE
PAG-EEL 4f,m 7
whose terms expire In Maroh 10 were
supposed to be reasonably secure as to re
election. These are Senators Aldrich,
Bhode Island; Allen, Washington; Dawes,
Massachusetts; Felton, California; Hale,
Maine; Hawley, Connecticut; Proctor, Ver
mont; Quay, Pennsylvania; Sherman, Ohio,
and Warren, Wyoming.
Becently arrived indications from Wyo
ming are to the effect that Senator Warren
will probably be defeated. The eight Be
publican seats which were some time ago
regarded as doubtful, are those of Senator
Casev, of North Dakota; Senator Paddock
of Nebraska; Senator Hiscock, of New
York; Senator Sanders, of Montana; .Sen
ator Sawyer, of Wisconsin; .Senator
Stockbridge, of Michigan; Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, and Senator
Davis, of Minnesota. Of these Senator
Hiscock will certainly be succeeded by a
Democrat, and there are strong chances
that a lite fate may befall Senator Paddock.
Senator Stockbridge is almost certain to
come out satisfactorily in Michigan, and
from the returns that have come in to-day
it would seem as though Senator Hawley
would be sent back.
CONNECTICUT'S REVOLUTION.
The First Time the Democrats Elect State
Officers Slnre 1883.
Hartford, Nov. 9. Special The
Democrats swept this State clean in yester
day's election. Cleveland's majority in
the State four years ago was 326; this year
it is over 8,000. Besides, the Democratic
State ticket is elected throughout by the
people, for the first time since the election
of Governor Waller in 1882. The vote on
State officers varies little from the vote for
President In previous years the Demo
cratic State officers have received plurali
ties, but as a majority is necessary to elect
in this State the election has been thrown
into the Legislature which, as a Bepublican
body, has chosen Republican State officers.
This year all the Democratic State officers
have large majorities and all the Legisla
ture will have to concern itself about will
be the election of a United States Senator.
The State Senate wil be a tie, with a Demo
cratic Lieutenant Governor casting the de

RUSSELL A PHENOMENON.
Ito-FJectcd Governor of Massachusetts
While Harrison Gets 20,000 Majority.
Boston, Nov. 9. Special Governor
Bussell has again proved the strength of
tho popular favor by winning the Gov er
norship in a Bepublican State in a Presi
dental election. It is a great triumph for
him personally. It is nothing else. Aside
from the eleotion of Governor the Demo
crats have lost heavily in the State. It was
expected that the Bepublican plurality for
the national ticket would be smaller than it
was four years ago. But the State repudi
ated the wave of free tradeism which swept
over it two years ago, as is shown by the
defeat of Congressmen Andrews, Crosby,
Coolidge and Williams, who owed their
election solely to that issue.
The returns, show an average plurality
of 20.QOO for the-Bepublican-trckeVbasine
the calculations upon- the vote for Presi
dental, electors, and the remainder of the
State ticket, not including the guberna
torial feature. It is everywhere admitted
by both Democrats and Bepublicans that
he will probably be the successor of Cleve
land if Democratio principles prevail in the
next Presidental election. Not until to
night was the result of the gubernatorial
contest' known, and then it was seen that
Governor Bussell had been elected by a
margin of less than 1,000. The Bepublicans
have made big gains in the Legislature as
well as in the Congressional delegation, and
will elect the successor to Senator Dawes.

STEVENSOJTS HOUSE WRECKED.
His Popen. Broken Down by tho croirai
j That Wanted to See Him.
Bloominoton, Ills., Nov. 9. It was 2
Lo'clock this mornin; when Hon. A -E.
Stevenson and his family retired after care
fully watching the returns and receiving
the great multitude of visitors who called
to extend to him their congratulations upon
the Democratic victory. About midnight
a delegation of Democrats, wild with
enthusiasm, numbering abont 1,000, invaded
his home. Every foot of room was jammed
with people crowding in to grasp General
Stevenson's hands. Those upon the outside
who could not get in crowded up as close as
possible to the house. Such a number got
upon the front porch that it gave way, and
this morning the doorvara is an irampieu
as if by droves of wild buffalo.
General Stevenson arose at an early hour
this morning, to get what additional returns
were procurable, and spent the day at his
home, receiving visitors and their congrat
ulations and telegrams.. Hundreds of tele
grams have been pouring in upon him from
all parts of the country. This afternoon
General Stevenson sent his congratulations
to ex-President Cleveland. Among the
congratulatory telegrams to General Steven
son were the following:
Xew York, Nov. 9.
lion. A. E. Stevenson:
I need scarcely say that yon have my
warmest congratulations. Your magnificent
worlctbrouxliout tlio campaign contributed
largely to the insult. God bless you.
William F. Harbitt.
FCTEitsBuna, W. Va., Nov. 9.
Hon. A. E. Stevenson:
Accept my congratulations. West Vir
ginia still stands by our Southern sisters.
Every county heard from gives Democratic
gains. " H. T. WiLSOW.
HARRITY A HAPPY MAN.
He lays the Eruption to the Tariff and the
Force Bill.
New York, Nov. 9. William F. Har
rity, Chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, being asked to-day for an ex
pression of his views regarding the election
of Cleveland and Stevenson, said:
At tho close of last week I stated that the
people of the United States would vote with
the Deinociatie party upon the issues of
this campaign, and recorded my opinion
that tholr verdict on election day would be
rendered in accordance with that entl
ment. The leading issues of the contest,
lrom first to last, have beon tho tariff
and tho foroo bill. The Democratic curient
lias reached not only the States of the South,
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, In
diana. Wyoming and AlicbUtan, but has
added to them at least the great State of
Illinois, with its 21 electoral votes. The
President and Vice President chosen yester
(luv will receive tbe votes or not less than
2C8 electors, with the probability of more
lrom Michigan and possibly nine votes
from California which would raise the to
tal number of Democratic electors to 279.
Without California Cleveland has a major
ity of more than 100 votes In the electoral
college, backed by a larger majority of tne
popular vote than any democratic nominee
has received daring mora than 40 years.
With one exception. General Harrison's
electoral voto Is the smallest given to any
candidate of the Democratio or Bepublican
party durlnjr that period.
Of course tbe members of tbe Democratic
National Committee are proud of this
lesult, and appreciative of tne commenda
tion of their efforts by Mr. Cleveland,
when notified of his election at
an early hour this morning. We
have done our best in a fair
and open fight, endeavorins to avoid beins
made .the victims ot delusion", and never
seeking to delude others. Wo thlnlc that
some mistakes to which there was great
temptation have been avoided, and that
some good points have Ueen opportunely
made.
THE KANSAS LANDSLIDE.
Weaver Electors Elected by 2,000 Five of
Eight Congressmen Populists.
Topeka, Nov. 9. It looks like another
Third party landslide in Kansas. With
only a few back counties to hear from, the
returns already in show that Weaver has
carried the State by about 2,000; that Lew
elling, the Fusion candidate for Governor,
will have a majority over Smith (Bep.), of
about 1.500: that Harris, the Fusion candi
date at large for Congress, will beat
Anthony (Bep.) by 1,000 majority, and the
Congressional delegation will stand five Fu
sion Populists and three Bepublicans.
Broderick (Rep.) is re-elected in the First
district by a good round majority of at least
2,500. Funston (Bep.) in the'Second dis
trict, has about" 500 majoritv, and Curtis
(Bep.) in the Fourth is elected by 3,000
uiajuriby.
Humphrey, at present Republican Gov
ernor of the State, is beaten tor Congress in
the Third district bv Hudson (Fusion Popu
list) Baker (Fusion Populist) in the
Sixth is re-elected by 2,500 majority over
Pestana, (Bep.,) and, to cap the climax,
Jerry Simpson is returned in the big
Seventh by about 2,500, a reduction of his
majority of two years ago by 3,500 votes.
The Legislature-elect will choos a suc
cessor to Senator Perkins (Bep.) and will
probably be anti-Eepublican.

Democrat Heartily Rejoicing: la

Albany, N. Y., Nov. 9. United Slate
Senator David B. Hill was waited upon by
a reporter of the Associated Press, thia
evening, and asked to give his opinion on
the results of the general election held yes
terday. Senator Hill said!
"I am reluctant to be interviewed for
two reasons:
"First Ever since the Chicago Conven
tion I have adhered to the rnie to confine
my political utterances to my public
speeches. A lew bogus interviews have
appeared, however, to which I paid no at
tention, not caring to dignify them with a
denial.
"Second After a successful election it
seems to be the fashion for everybody to
rush into print and claim some share of
the credit for the victory. It was so in 1890,
when we swept the country, and it will
probably be so now. I prefer not to in
dulge in any such unseemly scramble,
where those who do the least valuable
work before an election usually shout the
loudest afterward. Nevertheless, I am
willing to say a few words in regard to the
great victory, lest my silence might be mis
construed." "Did the result please you, Senator?"
asked the reporter.
As Happy as All Good Democrats.
"Every good Democrat will heartily re
joice over the return of the Democratic
party to power in the nation," he replied.
"The victory is most overwhelming and
gratifying. It is not only a personal tri
umph of ex-President Cleveland, and a just
tribute to him, but it is a vindication oi tbe
Democratic principles which he cham
pioned. The people'were opposed to a
lorco bill and desired tariff reform, and
upon those two issues we have won the
victory. Unquestionably the Federal
election issue kept several Southern
States with us which might otherwise
have gone for the Third party.
I trust that our victory will carry with it
the control of the United States Senate,
which will enable us to place Democratio
legislation upon the Federal statute books.
We will then cease to be a mere opposition
party, and can secure the remedial legisla
tion which the people demand, and that op
portunity will build up the Democratio
party and make it strong.
"We must carry out our pledges by re
forming the tarifiand reducing Federal tax
ation, not by harsh and extreme measures,
but upon the conservative lines indicated
in our platform and in the speeches of our
candidate. If we shall secure the Senate
we can show tbe people the beneficent re
sults of Democratic policies, and the good
that we can accomplish will ensure us the
power for many years.
A Vigorous Policy Preferable.
"I think the Democracy would prefer a
vigorous and aggressive policy, and to that
end the existing Federal law'should be re
pealed. It is a vexatious, arbitrary and un
necessary measure, capable of great injus
tice and abuse, and in the hands of unprin
cipled officials may become an instrument
ot aggression. The manner in which it was
sought to be used against us by our oppo
nents on election day furnishes an abund
ant argument for its repair."
"Senator, what do you think of the result
in New York?" was asked.
"I am particularly gratified with the glo
rious result in this State," he replied. "The
State'organization ot the party, as well as
the organization in nine-tenths of tbe coun
ties, were in the hands of my friends those
who loyally supported my claims at Chi
cagoand I was extremely desirous that an
excellent showing should be made, and I
am more than satisfied. The organizations
everywhere supported Mr. Cleveland with
great earnestness and good faith, and with
the same loyalty that has ever characterized
their political actions toward Democratio
candidates.
Begrets for a Few Counties.
"The Democracy of the Empire State ii
proud of its intrepid and matchless organi
zation, which is now well nigh invincible.
A few counties did not do as well as ex
pected, but such results are only exceptions
to tbe the general rule, and are incident to
politics. I regret that Chemung county,
which, with hard work, maintained so ex
cellent a record for so many years, should
not have done better, but local causes aris- i
ing out of last spring's municipal election,
when the Bepublicans. and some
Independents, so called, unexpected
ly carried Elmira and secured
control of the city in their hands, with all
its patronage, combined with an immense
Bepublican corruption fund expended this
fall against the whole ticket, national ss
well as local, led to the defeat of both
tickets in the county, the local ticket faring
no better than tbe national ticket Bat
aside from a few places, every locality did
reasonably well, and Democrats ol all fac
tions nobfy did their duty and tried to win
an overwhelming victory.
"I am of course delighted with the mag
nificent work ot Tammany Hall and the
Kings County Democracy. Their praises
are upon everyone's lips to-day, and they
have endeared themselves to the Democracy
of the whole country by their loyal devo
tion to our cause in this crisis."
Hundreds of Telegrams to HIIL
"Have you received any telegrams con
gratulating you nyon 'the victory in thia
State, Senator," was the next question.
"Yes, hundreds of them, from all parts of
this State and from many other States."
"May I see them?" was the closing ques
tion. "Please excuse me, I prefer not to fur
nish them for publication. I am a Demo
crat, and simply did my duty in the cam
paign, and claim no especial credit for any
thing w hich I may have done to aid the
grand result The gratification of winning,
together with tbe good opinion of mv Dem
ocratic friends in this and other States, is
enough for me. Let all the credit be givea
