New York, Nov. 10. As tne inter to
turns conic In from nil parts of tho
United States It becomes Increasingly
evident tbat this Is Indeed a "Demo
cratic yenr," us most Democrats de
clared and many Republicans ndnilt
ted before Tuesday's election. The
election, In fact, was a tldnl wave, the
Democracy sweeping up and over the
Republican beach with gigantic bil
lows of ballots that submerged almost
every pivotal stronghold of the domi
nant party throughout the country.
There Is no doubt whatever now that
this Is the most extensive Democratic
landslide since that of 18011, which re
placed Grovcr Cleveland in tho presi
dential chair after a term of retire
ment and gave him a Democratic
working majority In both branches of
congress.
While returns from n considerable
number of Isolated congressional dis
tricts still arc incomplete, It Is evident
that the Democrats will have a ma
jority of forty or more In the next na
tional house of representatives. This,
of course, Insures the election of a
Democrat us speaker of tho house, and
it Is taken for granted generally that , Connecticut Simeon E. Baldwin D.

The small vote of Ilopepr nnd Ilearst,

John A. Dlx of Thomson, on up state
town, Is elected governor of New York
by a plurality of alxmt 05,000, the later
returns showing that the earlier esti
mate was substantially correct. This
result reverses a Republican plurality
of 00,480 for Charles E. Hughes in
1008. nenry L. Stimson of New York
city, the Republican nominee, backed
by Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, ran
very far behind the Hughes figures In
the up stato districts.
The New York general assembly, ac
cording to tho latest figures, will havo

of nineteen.
Tho only Republican congressman
from New York city to retain his ocat
Is William M. Caldor of Brooklyn, who
defeated Butler by abont GOO votes. In
Manhattan William S. Bonnot, who
was renominated for congress aftar an
unsuccessful effort to got tho nomina
tion for governor, was beaten by Hen

85,000 votes and carrying most of the
hitherto invincible Republican dls

Albert J. Beverldge (Rep.) shall be re

from Indiana or shall be succeeded by
John W. Kern (Dem.) was still an un
decided quostlou last night. Leaden
of both the Republican and Democrat
ic parties claimed the legislature by a
small majority ou joint ballot.
Senator Beverldge said that ho be
lieved he had defeated Kern by a
small margin.
At Democratic headquarters It was
stoutly usserted that tho legislature
would be Democratic by at least
turulve majority on joint ballot That
the Democrats have elected their stato
ticket Is. not doubted.
Questions as to tho complexion of
the legislature arose from speculation
on results In n number of districts yet
unreported. The Democratic leadens,
however, asserted that their figures
showed a certain majority in their fa
vor of five ipembers of tho legislature,
and It was reasonablo that they should
gain some In counties from which re
turns were not complete.

Dental l'uctory Burned.
Special to The CITIZEN
Gouldsboro, Pa., Nov. 9. Fire de
stroyed the large dental factory on
Fourth street Tuesday afternoon.
The exact cause of tho fire which
started In a small unused room on
tho second floor is unknown.
Dr. Gustave Holtz, the owner of
the factory; Charles Otto Ulbrlch and
Max Bush were working in the main
room on the first floor and did not
discover the fire until the entire sec
ond floor was ablaze and partially
burned through.
Dr. Holtz lost a large amount of
very valuable machinery, tools, den
lat chairs, dental tables, etc., and a
large number of articles not com
pleted; also his models and patterns
of his many patents,
to W. A. Tiger was In tho building
A large gasoline engine belonging
and is a complete loss.
Dr. Holtz very narrowly escaned
with his life while trying to save
some valuable finished work In a side
room. The door blew shut and lock
ed on the outside, making him a
prisoner in a blazing furnace. Had
it not been for the promt action of
Max Bush and Allen Reaser at the
risk of their own lives, he would havo
been burned to death In a very few
minutes. As it was he was severely
burned around his head, ears, neck
and hands.
It Is thought that the snow on the
roofs Is all that saved the town from
ft very serious fire. The wind was
blowing hard and directly toward tho
heart of the town. Large pieces of
burning wood fell in the yards sev
eral blocks distant, while the snow
was black with cinders all over town,
for tho building burned very rapidly.
The fire was not discovered until af
ter two o'clock and at three the large
building was a mass of ruins.
C. P. Matthews' feed store Just
north, was saved by the wind blow
ing from that direction.
