also if any Spanish vessels had been
seen. After receiving replies the man-of-war
thanked the brig's officers and
said 'good night," steaming away to
the eastward without showing her
lights. The night was dark, and it was

A CLEAN SWEEP
Concluded from Page 1.
night Farr's victory was assured and at
1 o'clock Alex. T. Connell was deemed
safely elected In the Second district
CHAIRMAN JENNINGS' POSITION.
In the Democratic county headquar
ters Jennings would concede the elec
tion of but one Republican candidate,
either national or county. He admitted
the success of Farr and the defeat of
LaBarr In the First legislative; held
Koehler's defeat by Alex. Connell In
the Second legislative district as doubt
ful, and claimed the election of Fadden
and Judge In the Fourth and Third
Legislative districts, respectively.
Mr. Jennings would not admit the de
feat of either Bryan or Merrifield.
That The Tribune figures are cor
rect is an assertion based strictly upon
the reliable returns.
During the evening In the Demo
cratic camp In Music Hall the abject
air and despondency of the county lead
ers belled their chairman's opinion.
There were gathered there Mr. Merri
field, Joseph Taylor, M. J. Kelly. D. J.
Reedy, John J. Gaffney, W. J. Burke,
Editor Richard Beamish, of the Sun
day Free Press; Editor Lynett, of the
Times; F. J. Fttxslmmons, M. F. Fad
den, John J. Durkln and others.
In reading the returns, not all of
those Indicating the Republican land
slide In nation and county were read.
That accounts for much of the en
thusiasm of the large audience that
Music Hall contained.
Up in the Central Republican club
rooms in the Price building were gath
ered the best known of the dry's Re
publicans. The returns were read and
then recorded on large sheets, which
were against the wall and In full view
of those present. The cheering never
lagged, and as early as 10 o'clock there
did not seem to be any doubt as to the
result.
MR. CONNELL SERENADED.
A crowd of several hundred persons
marched to Mr. Connell's residence on
Clay avenue at 1 o'clock this morning
and irave him an ovation, which for
Its kind, was never before witnessed in
Scranton. It happened this way:
All evening the happiness of those in
the Central Republican club Moms had
run riot so thai when some one pro
posed a street parade the rooms were
emptied in a Jlfty. In the rooms at the
time were Prothonotary Pryor, City
Solicitor Torrey, ,J. A. Ianslng. Rev.
Dr. James McLeod, Luther Keller,
William McClave, C. D. Jones, Rev. Dr.
Joseph K. Dixon, Fred Widmayer,
Charles Schlager. P. B. Flnley. F. W.
Fleiiz, I. F. Megargel, Captain W. A.
May, J. L. Stelle. W. W Watson, ex
Judge Lewis, R. C. Foster, J. W.
Browning, C. C. Mattes and others
equally as well known. All of them
did not Join In the Impromptu parade
but many of them did and the numbers
were swelled by the Young Men Re
publicans whose rooms are in the same
building.
On the way to Mr. Connell's house
the participants did not for a moment
bridle their noise and enthusiasm, but
cheered their way up the hill to Mr.
Connell's home which was brilliantly
lighted.
Mr. Connell made his appearance on
the lawn and with head uncovered
waited fully three minutes for the
cheering to subside, the crowd mean
while cheering for McKinley, Connell,
the flag, sound money and everything
Republican. Across the roadway
blazed a bonfire made from material
which had been gathered en route from
the site of a new building.
The speech was finally made though
a sentence at a time was all Mr. Con
nell could do because of the continuous
yells of delight. He said:
I am not equal to a speech tonight, but
If I fulled to say I was not highly flut
tered by this visit I would not bo speak
iug the truth. "We have met the enemy
and they are ours" In a great buttle thut
nun Involved more than things political,
almost more thun our flag. It has been
a battle out of which nutlonal honor has
appeared triumphant.
We wanted sound money, protection,
belter business and no more burning of
fluti and we have won all along the line
and brought the country out of the dan
ger which threatened It. It all means the
overwhelming presence of American hon
esty and patriotism.
While I congratulate you for a great
ami glorious victory, It Is not on my own
account. We have redeemed national
honor and that Is due to Ood's guidance.
Mr. Connell proposed three cheers for
the flag and that started a period of
hurrahing that did not cease until
cheers had been given for Mrs. Connell
and all the principles of Republican
ism. Down the hill marched the crowd
and Into the streets of the business
district through which the parade was
continued for ovef an hour.
Republican and Democratic county
headquarters were not the only places
In Scranton where the news of the Mc
Klnley victory was received. Special
telegraph wire and telephone Instru
ments had been stretched Into many
a building and club rooms and through
these mediums thousands of expectant
citizens learned the result.
AT CONNELL'S HOME.
At Mr. Connell's home on Clay ave
nue thje local and national returns
were reoeived until late In the night.
National bulletins were received by a
telegraph operator who operated an in
strument attached to a wire
placed there especially for the
purpose by the Western Union
company. The city and the county re
turns came by telephone. Early in the
night Mr. Connell was at his office and
in the Central Republican club rooms,
but later received the returns at his
house. He was surrounded by the fol
lowing members of his family, relatives
and a few friends: Colonel and Mrs. E.
H. Ripple. ex-Mayor and Mrs. W. L.
Connell. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. McAnulty,

house. They were also received In the
Elks' club rooms, by the Scranton
Rowing association, the Young Men's
Christian Association, the Frothlngha-n
theatre, the Excelsior Social club, the
Central Republican club, the Young
Men's Republican club and at numerous
other places.
As early as 7.30 o'clock the crowd
which viewed the big street screen on
which The Tribune's returns were de
ployed began to gather on Linden
street, Washington avenue and court
house lawn. At 8 o'clock It numbered
I, 500 persons and from then until far
Into night the numbers reached an
estimated total of from three to five
thousand. There were both Democrats
and Republicans there, the former in
minority but ever ready to cheer and
yell for everything and anything that
did not please the Republicans.
GREAT ENTHUSIASM.
The news that was flashed on the
screen came by special telegraph and
telephone and gave to those who read
the messages from all over the country
as early Information as was given In
any part of the country. As the news
was displayed In letters large enough
to be read almost as far away as
Spruce street the McKinleyltes had
ample chance to exercise their lungs
and they aid It unceasingly (or hours.
The murmurlngs and rumblings of tfM
cheers were constant and heard fo?
blocks.
In the Young Men's Christian asso
ciation the audience filled every seat
In the large assembly hall. A tele
graph operator waa located back of
the stage and as fast as the returns
were received they were read to the
audience, copied on a large blackboard
on the stage and then posted In the
main rotunda of the building;. The re
turns interspersed an entertainment
given by Blackton, the New York
World sketch artist, and the Imperial
quartette of Instrumentalists. Re
freshments were served by Hanley, be
ginning at about 11 o'clock. After 10
o'clock smoking was permitted In the

formal smoker as the returns came In.
The rooms contained a telegraph In

Lackawanna avenue contained many
of the members of that large organi
sation of young men. A com
plete telegraph bulletin service was re
ceived there, and city and county re

The returns were received with much
enthusiasm. In St. David's hall, on

a cafe, club or place nf note but what
