Columbus, O., Nov. 10. The Republi
can chances in Ohio have improved greatly
during the past 24 hours. Prom the wreck
age and debris cf seeming defeat, the di
lapidated form of Victory is possibly rising.
To be sure, the old fellow is perched on a
wooden leg, his arm done up in a Bling, his
head wrapped up with bandages, but his
familiar features are scarcely to be mis
taken. The old boy looks rather forlorn,
and shows signs of rough usage.
One of bis coat-tails (the Congres
sional) has been entirely torn off, there are
many vicious tears in his clothes, which
show the bruised and bleeding skin, but he
Etill has good respiration. It is now
claimed that the Republican Presidental
and State tickets have been elected.
This morning Chairman Dick sent out
telegrams to the different county chairmen,
requesting them to send in the official re
turns by wire. The announcement in the
papers this morning that Ohio was in doubt
was a great surprise to the people of the
State.
Consternation In the Party Ranks.
It spread consternation in the ranks of
the Republicans, and was, in fact, the sen
sation of the country. The result
was that the committeemen of both
parties, realizing the importance
of accurate and reliable news, set to work
to learn the exact situation in their respec
tive counties. The votes were carefully
canvassed and the returns telegraphed to
Columbus as soon as completed.
The official returns began to come in about
noon and were favorable to the Republicans
from the first. The official count
showed gains over the estimates
made by Chairman Dick "Wednesday.
As the gains were small, but continued, it
was claimed that the Presidental and State
ticket would pull through.
The Republicans caught their second
wind and began to work with a will. Chair
man Dick, Joe Smith, Hon. & M. Taylor
and others kept tab at the Neil House.
At 3 o'clock they were claiming that & M.
Taylor had a plurality of 1,700, and that
the Harrison electors were elected by a
little less figure.
Democrats Start a Fraud Cry.
Secretary Hyman, Colonel W. A. Taylor,
Al Carlisle and others were at the Demo
cratic headquarters. Both parties claimed
(he Bute, during the afternoon, bat the
I
CLAIMED
AR
Democrats reduced their plurality of
Wednesday uight to COO.
When the Democrats heard the Republi
cans were claiming the State by 1,700, they
became exceedingly suspicious, and started
the cry of "fraud." Colonel Tay
lor, with his usual tact, tried
to spring a sensation by publicly announc
ing that he had positive information that
word had been sent to CO of the counties in
the State, by the Republicans, to count
him out. The Colonel's "positive Informa
tion" soon proved a roorback, as the Repub
licans discovered an error of an even thou
sand in their footings and announced
the same immediately. This reduced the
nominal Republican plurality to 700, Of
this 700 there was a discrepancy In the re
turns from Hamilton county. S. M. Taylor
led the Harrison electors there ;by COO, and
this did not seem possible.
The figures Not Compared Alike.
It should be explained here that the
Democrats based there estimates on the
vote for the Cleveland electors, while the
Republicans based theirs upon the
vote for & M. Taylor. The Demo
crats seemed anxious to secure
their Presidental electors, and were claim
ing their election when they practically con
ceded the defeat of the State ticket, Ohio
Democrats would be more solid with the
incoming Cleveland administration it the
Ohio electoral vote was on the Cleveland
side.
Incidentally there was a boom started
for ex-Governor Campbell for a place in
Cleveland's Cabinet, and this may have
had some bearing on the stubborn claims
that the Democratic electors were chosen.
AVhile Colonel Taylor claimed his elec
tion by pluralities varying from 500 to
1,500 during the afternoon, he announced
privately that he did not care to give up a
good salary on a newspaper for a poor one
as Secretary of State; that he considered it
glory enough for him to think that he
had reduced the Republican plurality in
Ohio in a Presidental year so that it would
require the official count to decide. How
ever, he believed he was elected, and in
tended to take his office it lie was.
Bound to Re a Discrepancy.
With the Democrats estimating their
plurality on Clevelend'g vote and the Re
publicans on S. JL Taylor's it is evident
there would be a discrepancy between
the two. It appears that S. M.
Taylor ran a little ahead ot the Harri
son vote. This is accounted for from the
fact that Sir. Taylor's friends made per
sonal appeals for him in many localities.
It was thought many Democratio soldiers
would vote for Harrison, thereby causing
Taylor to fall several thousand votes short
It was his ambition to keep in Bight of the
Harrison vote, and the efforts along this line
seem to have landed him several hundred
votes ahead. At 6 o'clock about half of the
counties had sent in their official returns,
and S. M. Taylor was holding his own.
It looked for a time as if there might be
a split electoral elected. It was found that
in some counties the first elector on the list
ran ahead of the others. In Warren county
the first elector on the Republican ticket
ran S9 votes ahead, while in Coshocton one
of the Democratic electors ran six ahead.
How the Electors' Vote Varied.
This might be duo to two reasons; first,
that the voters made a mistake and placed
their cross in front of the firet name instead
of in the circle; and second, personal friends
might have voted for certain electors in
their respective counties.
At 12 o'clock to-night the Republicans
are ieeling jubilant and claiming a victory.
Chairman Dick stated he had received the
official returns from 54 counties, and had
heard unofficially from the chairmen
of the remaining 34 counties. The official
returns, with the unofficial, which in nearly
every cac were correct, gave S. M. Taylor
a plurality of 1,540. He thought there
would be little variation from that and a
plurality of over 1,030 for Harrison.
At midnight the Democratic committee
gave out the following statement:
"figures at hand indicate a small Demo
cratic plurality. We think it proper
to await the official figures for
final result. In justice to our
party friends and the public we hope they
will have patience with us to await the offi
cial count"
The members of the Democratic commit
tee are claiming 600 or 700 plurality.
TROUBLE IN CONNECTICUT.
Republicans Threaten to Keep Judge Mor
ris Oat of the Governorship.
New Haven, Nov. 10. Spenal
Chairman Herbert H Benton, of the Re
publican State Central Committee, is au
thority for the statement that Judge Horn's
has not been elected Governor of this State,
having failed to receive a majority of all
of the ballots cast for that office. Judge
Morris majority is claimed by the Demo
crats to be about 1,300, and this was con
ceded by the Republicans until this after
noon, when it was alleged that he fell short
of a majority by about 400 votes. The Re
publicans claim is based on the statement
that in Bridgeport and many other towns
throughout the State ballots which ailed
to have the heading "Republican" or
"Democratic" printed at the top were
thrown out and not counted, when they
should have been counted as among the
scattering votes.
If the Republicans force their claim, and
the House refuses to seat Morris, or an at.
tempt is made to seat General Merwin, the
same state of affairs may arise as happened
two years ago. The Democrats are ex
ceedingly indignant and make wild threats,
and say that it is no longer a question of
what Republicans may attempt to do, but
whit thev ("Democrats') will dare to da
Lynde Harrison is engaged in making am
investigation, ana anomer muuuie is ex

On Its State Ticket the Plurality Is 8,800
or Over.
Cheyenne, Wto., Nov. 10. psriot
About all the returns have -been received
from the far-ofl counties in this State. As
near as can be ascertained there were about
20,000 votes cast in the State. Osborn (D.),
Governor-elect, has 2,500 majority. Caflea
(D.), Congressman-elect, has 1,000 major
ity over Clark, the most popular Republi
can in the State. Chairman Vandeventer, of
the Republican committee, concedes the
Legislature to the Democrats. This will
insure a Democratic United States Senator.
There is a strange similarity between the
present Governor of Wyoming and the Governor-elect
George Barber, who will vacate
soon, is a practising physician, handsome,
and Just St years old. John E. Osborn is
also a physician by profession, is handsome,
popular and exactly 34 years old.
WEST VIRGINIA'S LATEST.

Wheeling, V. Va., Nov. 10. Returns

and State tickets will be between 3,000 and

PrrTSBURG, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11. 1892-TWELVE
4,000. Until the official canvass is made
the exact plurality cannot be definitely
stated. All four of the Democratio candi
dates for Congress arc elected by pluralities
ranging from 200 to 1,000. B, B. Dovenor,
the Republican candidate in this, the First
district, to-night concedes the re-election of
Pendleton by 200. Senator Faulkner will
succeed himself in the United States Sen
ate, as the Legislature will have a Demo
cratic majority of 14 members.
WEAVER GETS KANSAS.
Ho Carries the Entire State Popullte Ticket
Along With Him.
Topbka, Kan., Nov. 10. Special
Complete returns from 90 counties and re
ports from the rest of the State clearly iri
dioate that Kansas has been carried by the
Fusiocists for Weaver, and that the entire
People's party State ticket is successful by
majorities ranging trom 1,500 to fi.000. This
includes also the election of W. H. Harris,
Fusion candidate for Congressman at Large.
The Republicans elect Congressmen
as follows: Broderick. First district;
Funston. Second district, and Curtis,
Fourth district Fubston's majority is so
small that it may be overcome by the offi
cial vote or dissipated by a contest before
the Election Committee'of Congress. ;The
Republicans have probably secured control
of the Legislature. The returns so far show
the election of 29 People's party Senators
and 19 Republican Senators, with two dis
tricts in doubt The House will stand,
Republicans, 70, Populists, 46, Democrats,
8, and six districts unheard from. Con
ceding the doubtful districts to the opposi
tion the majority on joint ballot insures
the election of a Republican to the United
States Senate for the unexpired term of
Senator Plumb.
The success of the People's party in Kan
sas this year is largelv due to the fusion with
the Democrats. The Republicans have
gained probably 40,000 over the vote two
years ago, but this was offset by the Demo
cratio aid given to the Populists this year.
The proposition for a constitutional conven
tion looking to the displacement of the
Prohibition liquor amendment has been de
feated, A RECOUNT WANTED.
Massachusetts Republicans Told to Re
, Sure The 're Beaten.
Boston-, Not. 10. The following letter
has been sent to the Chairmen of the Re
publican Town Committees throughout the
State by the Republican State Committee:
The vote or the State for Governor is si
close that it is considered wise to have a re
count, so that the people may be sura that
when the final result is announced It is ab
solutely correct. Wo enclose a 'petition
which It is necessary to have signed by ten
legal voters of your town, or if your town Is
divided into precincts there must be ten
signers who are legal voters of each pre
cinct. We ask for this recount in no parti
san spirit, but where the vote is so large
and the margin go narrow it is absolutely
necessary that all doubt as to who Is elected
Governor should be forever removed. This
petition must be filed with the City or Town
Clerk within six days next following the
day of election. Will you please, therefore,
have the enclosed petition properly signed
at once and filed with the Town or City
Clerk by Monday at latc3t?
ILLINOIS' AWFUL BREAK.
The Plurality for Cleveland Will Bo
Something Like 20,000.
Chicago, Nov. 10. Six hundred and
ninety-three voting precincts in a total of
710 outside of Cook county give Harrison
139,303, Cleveland 127,507. The vote on
Governor is very close to these figures,
Altgeld running a little behind Cleveland,
and Fifer ahead of Harrison. Coot county
has given Cleveland a plurality of 32,000,
and Altgeld one of 30,000. The remaining
precincts cannot alter the result, and it is
safe to say that Cleveland has the State by
20,000 and Altgeld by 17,000.
The Republicans in this county have
plucked a brand from the burning by the
defeat ot Van Praag for the State Legisla
ture. That and the victorr of Aldrich in
the First Congressional district are all they
have to content them.
NEBRASKA'S NEW SENATOR
Will Be a Fusion Man, With the Chances in
Favor of Van TVyclc.
Omaha, Ner, Nov. 10. Special.' The
latest returns on the Legislative situation
give the Democrats one more member in the
House on joint ballot. The Independents
and Democrats, with their strength almost
equally divided, will have seven majority
over the Republicans.
The United States Senator will he a Fu
sion man. It lies between General Van
Wyck, Independent possibly Governor
Boyd, and Hon. J. Sterling Morton, Demo
crat very likely one of the three.
CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC.
The Plurality for Cleveland Will Not Re
Less Than 2,000.
San Francisco, Nov. 10. ISpccial
As the returns come in California will be
Democratic by at least 2,000 and thsLegis
lature will elect a Democratic Senator to
sneeeed Felton. The city fight is not de
cided yet, but from the gains made by EI1-
ert, non-partisan, he win probably win,
beating O'Donnell, the anti-Chinese crank,
by a lew hundred votes.
The Democrats who felt too poor before
election to have a parade will paint the
town Saturday night.
ALABAMA HEARD FROM.
The Majority There Running Up to Nearly
or Quite 50,000.
Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 10. It is
now positively known that the following
Congressmen, all Democrats, are elected in
Alabama: First district, Clark; Second,
Stallings; Third, Oates; Fourth, Bobbins;
Fifth, Cobb; Sixth, Bankhead; Seventh,
Denson; Eighth, Wheeler; Ninth, Turin.
Official returns from all but five counties
give a majority for Cleveland of 46,315,
which is a big increase over tne State elec
tion in August

Bismabce, N. D., Nov. 10. Returns

pletely knock out previous Republican esti
mates, and it is now certain that the entire
Republican State ticket is defeated by ma
jorities ranging from 300 to 1,000.
It is now believed the Harrison electors
are also defeated, but Johnson (R.), for
Congress, may pull through. The Legisla
ture is in doubt but probably Republican
by 4 or 5 majority.
Weaver Probably Has Idaho.
Boise Cut, Nov. '10. Less than half
of the State has been heard from so far.
The indications are that the majority of the
Weaver electors may reach 8,000. One

New York, Nov. 10. Now that the
Democrats have secured complete control
of the National Legislative and Executive
Departments, the question arises what will
be the effect on the business Interests of the
country of the change in administration?
Reporters of The Dispatch interviewed
to-day many representative men engaged in
business and finance. All were requested
to express their views as to the effect on
the money market and the business of the
country. The men interviewed were
selected without reference to their politics.
President Tappan, of the Gallatin Na
tional Bank, said: "I do not expect any
legislation injurious to the business inter
ests of the country. If there is any change
in the tariff it will, in my opinion, be
gradual, and of such a character as not to
injure business. The stock market has not
been affected in the slightest degree as yet,
and I do not believe it will be."
President Galloway, of the Merchants'
Bank, said: "I guess this country is big
enough to stand all that comes along. I
cannot undertake to define the policy of the
Democratic party upon the tariff, but I do
not think it will be so changed as to dam
age the business Interests of the country."
Not Alarmists of Any Sort.
Vice Piesident Porter, of the Chase
National Bank, who is in charge during
President Cannon's absence, said: "We
are all Republicans down here, you know.
Still, we are not alarmists. I do not be
lieve that business will be unsettled by the
change to any extent Any falling off in
the value of securities because ot the change
will be merely temporary. I do not be
lieve that the'Democrats will do anything
radical about the tariff. They may make
some reductions gradually, but not such as
to injure anv great interc-its-iunousiv. no
party would dare do anything to affect the
business of the country'
President F. O. French, of the Manhattan
Trust Company, who is alio a Republican,
said: "I am glad to see that the Democrats
have it all their own way. They ought to
be able to give us the millenium for the
next four years. If they don't we'll put
them out at the end of their term. Cleve
land didn't have a fair show the last time,
b-ing checked by the Senate. Now he can
D '
ST
his hand without hindrance.
I do not apprehend any trouble, be
cause I know there are many sensi
ble men among the Democrats, and I believe
that they will see to it that the business in
terests of the country are not injured. I
suppose they will tincer wun tne tarir,
somewhat We will probably go back to
the tariff which existed before the McKin
ley bill, and which was really very satisfac
tory. The force bill issue undoubtedly
helped the Democrats greatly."
Cleveland Not Exactly Experimental.
President Dickerman, of the New York
Stock Exchange, is a Cleveland man. He
eaid: "We hadtouryears of Mr. Cleveland's
rule and business was not ruined. My
opinion is that people do not expect it to
be ruined now. The way they voted would
indicate that- So far as Wall street is con
cerned the thing that would affect us most
is the currency, and upon that there is no
sonnder man in the country than Mr. Cleve
land. The market is stronger to-day, and I
have been unable to find any alarm any
where. The general security holder is not
disturbed, and I have not learned of any
body who wanted to part with securities
less than the market price."
John E. Seatles, Jr., Secretary of the
American Sugar Refineries Company, said:
"I do not think any party would dare do
anything that would materially disturb the
prosperity of the country. The country is
too great to allow the upsetting of any of
its industries, and the party that attempted
it would come to grief."
The Second Vice President of the Farm
ers' Loan and Trust Company said he would
not attempt to speak for the company, but
his personal opinion was that business
would be improved. "The verdict of the
people," he said, "is that the Republican
party has gone too far in favoring indi
viduals at the expense of the country."
Some Time Wanted to Get Together.
Evan P. Thomas, President of the Pro
duce Exchange, said: 'The business men
that I have talked with think that the re
sult is a good thing for the country."
"You'll have to give me a little time to
get my bearings, "ud President John M.
Crane, of the National Shoe and Leather
Bank. "I don't just know where we are
iow. I am only just pulling myself to
gether." Mr. Crane was one of the belated Repub
licans who was out in the Democratio bliz
zard. "You don't apprehend any immediate
disaster, Mr. Crane?" asked the reporter.
"Ob, no," replied Mr. Crane, with a jolly
laugh. "I don t expect anything terrible.
I don't look for any trouble at all. I guess
the country is safe'
William J. Quinlan, cashier of the Chem
ical National Bank, said: "Oh, I expect
that undoubtedly everything will go along
all right I don't look lor any change
whatever in the flow of the country's pros
perity. Mr. Cleveland is a safe, level
headed man. He is not going to do any
thing rash. I don't speak with any politi
cal bias, for I don't interest myself in poli
tics. My opinion is just what I think Irom
my knowledge and the probabilities. The
financial interests and business of the coun
try are'solid."
Np Effect on the Railroads.
President Robert M. Oliphant, of the
Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, said:
"I see no reason why the result should have
any effect on the condition of railroad inter
ests." Charles L. Tiffany, the jeweler, said:
"No, sir. I anticipate no serious injury to
business irom the advent of the Democratic
party to control. The country has acquired
amomentum under Republican power which
can't be easily checked, If the Demo
crats- do thing tnej
talk nbout
.
then business will bs interfered with, no
doubt, but that is not certain. They may
take advantage of the prosperity which the
McKinley bill insures. Possibly they will
think later on that thev had something to
do with passing it. The only bad effect
will be if people who are contemplating in
crease in business and believing the Demo
cratio party means to repeal the tarifl laws
fail to go ahead with their plans. In our
own business we shall go just as slow on
contemplated improvements as possible,
until we see what is going to happen."
Francis B. Thnrber, of Thurber, Why
land & Co., said: "We must be governed
to some extent by the opinions of others,
and a majority of the people have confi
dence in the party they have put in power.
All general conditions are favorable to busi
nessanother exhibition of Cleveland's
luck."
No Immediate Cause for Tear.
Julius Catlin, the head of the firm of
Catlin & Co., commission merchants in
woolen and drygoods, said: "We cannot
tell for more than a year yet what Congress
will da I do not think there is any imme
diate cause for apprehension or trouble. If
the Democratic party is true to its declara
tion, and tinkers with the tarifl, the price
of industrial stocks and securities is bound
to fall. The success of the Democracy is
not a stimulus to business, but a check "
Ex-Mayor Hewitt, of Cooper, Hewitt &
Co., said: "At present the iron trade is low,
notwithstanding any statements to the con
trary. I think myself that this is due in
part to the McKinley law."
A representative of the firm of Pierson &
Co., wnolesale jobbers, said: "Although we
are Republicans, I must say that the Mc
Kinley law has been injurious to us. We
did a much larger business awhile ago than
we have been doing lately. A change of
folicy will be to our advantage, I think,
t we could have a free market with Can
ada, tor instance, it would benefit us
greatly."
. INDIANA HOLDS TO 10,000.
Eleven of the Thirteen Congressmen
Claimed by the Democrats.
Indianapolis, Nov. 10. Special
Only 15 counties have reported officially,
and the figures do not materially vary from
first reports made to the Democratic State
Committee. Cleveland's plurality will be
about 8,000, but the Democratic State Com
mittee positively asserts that it will run up
to 10,000.
Democrats continue to claim 11 out of
the 13 Congressmen. The Republicans
claim two additional, Twiname, of the First,
and Johnson, in the Tenth. Dispatches
late to-night settle that Taylor, Democrat,
is elected in the First district. In the
Tenth, Johnson, Republican, does not con
cede Hammond's election, but says the re
sult is in doubt, with the chances even.
Hammond claims a majority of 55.

in Southern Bessarabia has proved a com
plete failure. The inhabitants are without
grain and the cattle without fodder. Much
suffering is certain to result, and it is likely
that the Government will be called upon to
extend assistance.
THE LAW WORKED WELL.
Excellent Results From the Baker Ballot In
the Coal Regions.
Shnbury, Pa., Nov. 10. The Commis
sioners of Northumberland county have re
ceived several hundred letters since Tues
day's eleotion from prominent Republicans
and Democrats, expressing their great sat
isfaction with the working of the new bal
lot law.
It was feared that much difficulty would
be experienced in the coal regions owing to
the large number of foreigners, but election
officials from Shamokin and Mt Carmel
state that they found the average loreigner
displayed more intelligence in voting un
der the new system than most Americans.

ALMOST ONE HUNDRED
The Democratic Lead Over the Republicans
in the Lower House of Congress An
Analysis of the Result by Sections
Latest Calculations.
Washington, Nov. 10. An analysis of
the Congressional election returns shows
that, with returns missing from 20 districts,
in which the result t either entirely un
known or is very close, the Democrats have
elected to seats in the House of Representa
tives for the Fifty-third Congress 88 more
Representatives than the Republicans. This
majority does not include nine members
elect who are classified ss either Fusion
or Third party men, nearly every one ot
nhom will act with the Democrats in any
proposed reduction of tariff taxes. Their
support, with the additional strength the
Demorrats are certain to derive from secur
ing some of the 20 districts put in the un
known column, makes it conservative to
estimate that the Democrats will have a
majority of 100 members or more on the
most important question likely to come be
lore the next House of Representatives,
viz: A revision of the McKinley tariff law.
A number of the Fusionistsjare also thor
oughly in accord with the Democratic
policy, as far as it goes, on all other ques
tions. Leaving out the 20 unknown districts the
next House will consist of 207 Democrats,
120 Republicans and 0 Fusionists or Third
party men. An analysis by sections of the
vote Tuesday for Congressmen shows that
the Southern States, Maryland, Missouri
and Kentucky being included in this cate
gory, will send 117 Democrats, only 4 Re
publicans and 1 Alliance Democrat, Mc
Laurin, of South Carolina, to the next
House, with four districts, two
in West Virginia, one. each
in Kentucky and Missouri in doubt Of
the fonr Republican Congressmen returned,
two come from Tennessee and one each from
Kentuckv and Missouri. The only apparent
result of the fight made against the Dem
ocracy in the South was to" strengthen its
hold on public affairs. In North Carolina,
Cheatham, the colored Republican, Is de
feated after surviving the landslide two
years ago, and in Alabama a solid Demo
cratic delegation is returned) notwithstand
ing the efforts of Mr. Mazee and others to
split it
Of New England's 27 votes in the next
House the Republicans get 18 and the Demo
crats 0, three coming from Massachusetts and
three from Connecticut The four Middle
States, New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Delaware, have 73 votes
in the House, of which number
the Republicans will cast 39 and
the Democrats 34. Fifty-six Congressmen
will be returned from the Middle-Western
States of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Ac
cording to the return, Democrats will re
present 32 of the districts, Republicans 24,
Ohio is said to be exceedingly close.
THE SENATE DEMOCRATIC.
Republicans Will Not Exceed 41 Mem
bers of That JJody.
New York, Nov. 10. .'pedal The
exact Presideutal complexion of the new
United States Senate cannot be determined
until definite news is received as to the
result of the elections for the Leg
islature in Michigan. Omitting this
State from the calculation altogether, the
United States Senate will stand after next
March: Republicans, 40; Democrats, 43;
Alliance, 4.
If the Michigan Legislature is Republi
can it will increase the party's strength in
the United States Senate to 41.
CARTER GIVES IT UP.
lie Thinks the Republican Policies Were
Too Progressive.
New York, Nov. 10. Chairman Carter,
of the Republican National Committee,
sent the following telegram to President
Harrison this afternoon:
The returns show that we have been de
feated by a pronounced majority. The de
feat can only be attributed to a reaction
against the progressive policies of the Re
publican party. Thomas 11. Cartir,
Chairman.
EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS
Expected to Be Called Immediately After
the Inauguration.
Washington, Nov. 10. The strong
probability of an extra session of Congress
immediately following the inauguration of
the President-elect is 'a subject of general
conversation in Washington to-day. A
special session of the Senate is always
called at the beginning of a new adminis
tration to confirm the members ot the Cabi
net and the new diplomatic representatives
of the United States abroad. But the pres
ent election having turncd'on questions of
domestic policy, it is said to be obvious to
experienced political leaders of all parties
that an extra session of both Houses of
Congress will almost inevitably result
Secretary of the Treasury Foster, among
others, admits this. The country, he says,
challenged the judgment of the Repub
licans on the McKinley bill, and the result
must be accepted as the will of the people
that a different policy shall be put into
effect Ex-Secretary Bayard writes to a
friend here to like effect, adding that the
people will expect this to be done without
unnecessary delay. ,

Indiana, Pa., Nov. 10. Special
Superintendent J5. W. Vandersaal, of the
big glass works plant, has been in Pitts
burg this week, engaging the working
force that will begin the operation of the

the force will be increased, as the entire

Washington, Nov. 10. Postmaster
General Wanamaker was eating chestnuts
this morning as his carriage wheeled into
the White House grounds, shortly before 11
o'clock. Some of his political enemies
might consider eating chestnuts an undigni
fied occupation for a Cabinet officer on his
way to consult the President of the United
States on public business. However, that
is just what he was doing, and those who
are intimate with him say he is particularly
fond of chestnuts.
There is a vacancy in the office of the
First Assistant Postmaster General, and it
is possible that Mr. Wanamaker called at
the White House to-day to talk with the
President about appointing a successor to
General Whitfield, who resigned from the
public service nearly two months aga
As has already been stated in these dis
patches, there are seven or eight Demo
crats in charge of Presidental postoffices,
and it is barely possible that Mr. Wana
maker feels that in view of the result of
Tuesday's election those offices should be
filled at once by Republicans who remained
faithful to the administration.
Charlie Foster's Unpleasant Duty.
The most conspicuous caller upon the
President, to-day, however, was Secretary
Charles Foster. He returned to Washing
ton this morning, and of course felt it his
duty to explain to his chief why his esti
mates of Republican votes in the electoral
college were "so many chips shy." It will
be remembered that he authorized the state
ment just before he left Washington to
"round up" the Republican voters in the
West, that Harrison would surely carry
every State except Nevada.
If Secretary Foster's political estimates
are so faulty, his financial estimates for the
next fiscal year may require careful revision
before they are transmitted to Congress, a
few weeks hence. It Is probable that the
President did not chide him very severely
for the loss ot Ohio, for he could, with pro
priety, point to Indiana and claim it is "a
case of horse and horse."
In spite of his usually jolly disposition .
Secretary Charles Foster feels the defeat of
his party keenly. He, likemany other Re
publicans, sincerely believed that a majori
ty of ".the people in the United States were
satisfied with the present condition of
things and were opposed to a change of ad
ministration. He does not pretend to be
able to account tor the apparent collapse of
the Republican party in many of its sup
posed strongholds. He views the situation
philosophically, and quotes a remark of
a colored delegate to the Minneapolis Con
vention: '"Tain't no use getting cloudy
when you can't rain."
Harrison Sees Nothing to Talk Abont
Private Secretary Halford has returned
from Indiana with the announcement that
the "Hoosier State" has gone Democratic
by probably 5,000. Of course he made a
detailed report to the President, and told
the latter some things which have not yet
been published. He says the President
does not see the necessity for commenting
publicly upon the result" Nothing he could
say would change the verdict which was
rendered by the voters Tuesday. Various
reasons have been suggested by certain peo-
ple, but Mr. Halford attributes the election
of Mr. uieveland to a general ieeling
of unrest among the people and a desire tor
a change in the administration, hoping that
they may be personally benefited by a new
deal all around. He says the President
will at once go to work upon his annual
message to Congress, feeling confident that
he has discharged the duties imposed upon
him four years ago in such a manner as to
merit the approval of even his political
adversaries. He has derived much comfort
from the personal tribute paid to him br
the Democratic press during tne past zi
hours.
The Losers Have to Stand JChaning.
Manv of the Departmental employes who
went home to vote returned to their duties
to-dav, and naturally were obliged to un
dergo considerable bantering from their
Democratic associates. One of the striking
features of the contest just ended istha
good feeling that has prevailed among rival
partisans. The Democrats are so over
joyed by their sweeping victory that they
can well afford to ignore their crestfallen
enemies.
In official as well as social circles a cor
dial greeting awaits ex-Secretary Whitney,
Vice President-elect Stevenson and many
other gentlemen who were connected with
the Cleveland administration four years
ago. It is not expected that all of the ex
office holding Democrats will be restored
to their places, but there is a large num
ber of them who look forward to coming
back to Washington with delight Mr.
Whitney and General Stevenson are per
haps two of the most popular officials who
were connected with the Washington end o
the Cleveland administration. The former
easily outranked any member ot the ad
ministration so far as social entertainments
are concerned, and he also made a record
lor himself as Secretary of the Navy which
will not soon be forgolten. The navy
would gladly welcome him back to the
Navy Department, so that he might con
tinue the good work of constructing new
warships and placing that branch of the
service to the front among maritime na
tions. Local Stocks Take a Jump.
Among local business men the prospects
of a change in the administration does not
occasion such a depression as was predicted
by many stump orators. On the contrary,
it is hailed with pleasant anticipations.
Local stocks took a jump to-day, and went
several points higher than they have been
for several months.
In social circles the one great topio of
speculation is the second coming of Mrs.
Cleveland. During her absence from
Washington, her popularity has not dimin
ished a particle. Here is the way the Star
refers to her:
Mrs. Cleveland will return to Washington
with as happy anticipations as those in
which the President-elect has such eood
