Francisco, builders of the Charleston, in re- sponse to histo them of Saturday last. In this message the iron works company say that they believe they could show 7,400 horse power with | a reduced propeller on another trial, but that in order to avoid delay and trouble they will withdraw their demand for a new trial and leave the matter entirely in the hands of the Secre- tary. Upon this Secretary Tracy ordered the acceptance of the Charleston, the question of penalty to be considered at the final settlement with the contractors, Cruisers 7 aNd 8.—Commodore Wilson, chief of the naval bureau of construction and repair, has been in consultation with Naval Constructors Bolles of the Norfolk navy yard and Mintoyne of the New York navy yard.

The results of yesterday's elections in sev- eral of the states yesterday were a fruitful topic of discussion in political circles today and there was a good deal of democratic boasting, met by republicans with the usual references to the ‘off year” and local issues. Everybody on the street is asking for “the latest returns.”” Some of the democrats who are rejoicing over the returns are slow to believe that every- rye as well for them in Ohio as it seems at first biush, but they are all prepared to regard the fact that the matter is in doubt even as a victory. The character of the returns before 12 o'clock was such as to make most of them feel certain of Campbell's election. Republi- cans are not talking buta waiting for fuller returns, especially from( hio. They have their hopes tied to the “western reverve,” CAMPBELLS MAJORi'y ABOUT 8,000. Mr. George E. Gilliland of the Cincinnati Enquirer received a dispatch this morning from H. N. Thompson of the Cleveland Plamdealer, who is in Columbus, saying: mpbell’s majority will be about 8,000. Entire state ticket and legislature ours.” “Ours” means democratic. About 12 o’clock a dispatch was received at the Cincinnati Enquirer bureau from the demo- cratic state committee of Ohio saying: ‘ampbell’s majority 8,000. Both branches of the legislature democratic; on joint ballot 10, JUBILANT DEMOCRATS. Ex-Sixth Auditor McConville of Ohio, after reading Mr. Thompson's dispatch, was very happy. “It is glorious; glorious!” he said. “It is an expression of contempt for the adminis- tration.” “We'll burn our hats for a bonfire,” cried Representative Heard. “It isa rebuke to the administration. It is glorious for us. Go on, democracy!” Ex-Auditor MeConville said that the victory in Ohio would give the democrats the next house, as the democrats would have the reap- portionment of the state. REJOICING AT FORAKER’S DEFEAT, Ex-Representative Norwood of Georgia said toaSrar reporter: “I feel like the darkey in the old Methodist hymn—‘I feel jus’ as happy as I well can feel. Oh, Lord, send salvation down,’ The Lord has sent salvation down, I re- joice especially at the defeat of Foraker. I re- joice more at his defeat than at the success of our party in the state. Foraker is a disorgan- er. His capital is bitterness and prejudice. His defeat is a rebuke to sectionalism. Every | man who tries to get personal advantage by | provoking sectionalism is a criminal. I do not care what side he is on; any man who tries to provoke bitterness between sections on either side is a criminal and deserves the most severe treatment. I think the resuit of the election will be to make the administration adopt a con- servative policy. I think there will be no at- tempt to pass a federal election law. If they do attempt that it will be in desperation and will be their dying struggle.” A MISSISSIPPI OPINION OF MAHONE. Representative Catchings of Mississippi is very emphatic in his views on the result in Virginia. “It was,” said he to a Sra reporter today, ‘tw just rebuke to the most despicable | political trickster that history makes any men- | tion of. I have felt confident all the time that Mehone would never be allowed to rule in Virginia und that whenever the issue was | flatly stated as ‘Mahone or no Mahone’ the little politician would be defeated. The con- test was not directly between democrats and republicans, for the decent men of both parties arrayed themselves against Mahoneism and, 1 am pleased to know, very successfully. The majority against Mahone does not indicate in- creased democratic strength; it merely shows that a great many republicans will not support a man Who is cotcienceless.” EX-REPRESENTATIVE PAT COLLINS IS SATISIFIED Ex-Representative “Pat” Collins of Massa- chusetts seemed to be satisfied with the pro- ducts of an off year. “The democratic party is very well, thank you,” said he, “and Virginia is all right. It would bave beena national mis- fortune had Mahone been successful in his scheming. Massachusetts is in good shape, too, and taking the results all around Iam satisfied. We have done fully as well as we ex- pected to.” BROOKLYN DEMOCRATS ELATED. Brooklyn democrats in town are very much | elated over the re-election of Alfred C. Chapin | as mayor of their city by a majority more than ten times greater than that given him two years ago. There are others in New York state who are ulso democrats, but who are not very | jubilant over Mr. Chapin’s success, for it is a } generally accepted belief that the bright young mayor is in training for the gubernatorial race in the empire state. Shrewd men regard him ‘as one whose name may be heard more than once in the democratic national convention from which the candidate tor ‘92 will be started. A REPUBLICAN PHILOSOPHER. Some people are born philosophers and of this varicty of being was the republican who stood in front of a board on which election bulletins were being displayed. “Even Iowa aud Ohio gone,” said he, and for a moment or two his face looked cloud: “But,” he added, da broad smile rippled all over his teatures, “the four new states are all right.” HOW THE REPUBLICANS TAKE IT, The republicans about town are very gloomy. or a8 the President does, attributes the result to local causes, Those politicians and. office seekers who have fmied to get what they wanted from the administration, quickly seize upon the opportunity to fix all blame upon the pelos that has been followed by the President. me of them are very bitter in their express- | ions and profess to be delighted at what they | term “arebuke to the President.” A smail amount of profanity sometimes finds its way into the street conversation. WANTS TO GET IN THE UNION. What Delegate Dubois Says of the Claims of Idaho to Admission. Mr. Dubois, the delegate from Idaho, is now in the city to remain for the session. A Srar reporter asked him what steps his people had taken for the admission of Idaho, “A voluntary convention was held,” he re- plied, ‘for the purpose of framing a coustitu- tion. It met July 4 and remained in continual \ session for thirty-four days. ‘here were seventy-two delegates selected and at no time during the deliberations was there a lack of a quorum. There was no politics to speak of. ‘Lhe ablest men of the territory, representing all interests, were delegates. It being a volun- tary body and held without authority of law there were no yep byate or representatives of | ‘iams’ to bother and in consequence we framed | a constitution suited to our conditions and tu- ture. Ihave often heard it remarked that | Idaho's constitution was the best one gotten up | this summer.” “Do you take strong ground against the Mormons?” “Very. B gany and polygamy are forever prohibited, and ao. onede cltowed ‘to neroine the privileges of a citizen who belongs to an organization which teaches or practices these crimes, Our constitution also forbids the car- rving of any flag ina public procession except e American flag. We want a state for those whose highest allegiance is to the United States, or else we want no state at all.” Have you all the requisites for statehood?” eae? essential I think, We have more than 100,000 people, abundant resources to support # state government and our people earnestly desire it, We tiave framed a consti- tution republican in form, which has been rati- fied by vote. These are all the réquirements, as I understand it.” ities to enter into the Telegrams to The Star. WATER(00. Foraker Congratulates His Successor. IOWA DEMOCRATIC Virginia May Have 40,000 Dem- ocratic Majority. —_—> A GREAT OFF-YEAR SURPRISE FORAKER SURRENDERS. Campbell’s Plurality Ten Thousand and the Legislature is a Tie. Corvumsvs, Ouro, Nov. 6.—At 1 o'clock this afternoon Gov. Foraker sent the following tele- gram: “CotumEvs, Onto, November 6, Hon. Jas. E. CampBeny, Hamtttox, Onto. To the full extent that » defeated candidate can do so with propriety allow me to offer my congratulations and assure you it will give me pleasure to ex- tend you every courtesy I can show you im connection with your inauguration and the commencement of your administration. J. B. Foraker.” Cotumsvs, Onto, Nov. 6,—Allen W. Thur- man has sent the following: Coiumnts, Onto, Nov. 6. “To Hon. Grover Clevelund, New York: Gov. Foraker has surrendered all the repub- lican flags in Ohio.” tch to THE EVENING STAR, Co.umsus, Nov. 6.—The result of the election in this state yesterday has had the effect of completely demoralizing the republicans and amazing the democrats. The faithful of the latter are kicking themselves around the cor- ners this morning because of their lack of , herve to bet at odds offered by the republicans during the last forty days. Gov. Foraker is beaten by a plurality of probably 10,000. The defeat is a crushing blow to his friends, who in- duced him against his own better judgment to accept the nomination for a third time. Personally the governor cares but little, but for those that have stood by him in this fight he feels the keenest regret. The repub- lican campaign and prospects of a brilliant victory were at the high-water mark when Mr. Campbell, the democratic candidate, read the letter of the insane member of the board of public affairs in Cincinnati, Hon. Geo. Topp, demanding 25 per cent in cash on a gravel con- tract. The contractor that received this letter sold it to the democracy, who made use of it. ‘The fact that the writer was under the care of a physician and receiving treatment for mental disorder was not considered. From the day this letter was made public the democrats made their fight on the governor. Numerous biunders were made by republicans, all of which were heaped upon the governor's shoulders, Gen, John Beatty and a number of other stalwarts | made a vigorous fight against the third term. Beatty and his friend fought the head of the ticket and proved to be running mates to the saloon keepers’ combination that made the governor the chief object of their attacks, At noon today the indications are such as to foreshadow the election of Campbell by a lurality of 10,000. The republicans claim the legislature on joint ballot, but the latest dis- patches show that they have lost one member in Noble county, although Foraker carried the county by 300, which ‘seriously complicates matters and leaves the legislature a tic. The advantage, however, is slightly in favor of the republicans having it upon joint ballot. The democrats claim the election of their entire state ticket by 2,000 to 3,000, but the proba- bility is that a majority of the republican state ticket is elected by pluralities ranging from 2,000 to 10,000. Later news is eagerly looked tor, Campbell Carries Hamilton County and His State. Cixcrxnati, Nov. 6.—The last edition of the Commercial Gazette says editorially: “The latest from the republican state executive com- mittee is they do not concede the election of Campbell, but they do not fully estimate the enormous democratic majority in this county @r the head of their ticket. It will be, accord- ing to the latest advices, about 8,000.” “The close counties are coming in better than we expected for the republicans, and promise a majority on joint ballot in the gen- eral assembly. The latest news is of this com- plexion so strongly a8 to give some confidence to the claim that the legislature has beensaved to the repubiicans.” Footings of Hamilton county vote, with seven precincts to hear from, give the following re- sults: Foraker, 32,010; Campbell, 39,633, Camp- bell’s plurality, 7,643. It is settled that one republican senator is elected, Geo. A. Schneider. The detailed vote shows an almost unbroken falling off in Foraker’s vote from the rest of the ticket in ail the precincts. In Cincinnati he has a plurality in only eight of the thirty wards and these range from 10 to 527. Camp- bell’s ward pluralities range from 70 to 1,159. eight wards he has more than 400 plurality for each, This morning returns have been received from 813 of the 2,190 voting places outside of Cincinnati, showing the vote for Foraker, 136,752; Campbell, 131,516; Helwig, 6,764. The same in 1587 gave Foraker 134,100; Powell, 119,899; Sharp, 7,124 This shows a gain for Campbell of over 9 to each precinct. While this ratio isa matter of chance it still gives some data for estimate. It has been almost constantly between 6 and 9, but even at the lower it would give Campbell enough to ensure his election. The republicans find some con- solation in the theory that the townships to hear from, being mainly rural ones, will not show so large a gain per precinct, but the ratio would have to be brought below 5 to the precinct to give Foraker a chance. CLEVELAND, Crevevanp, Onto, Nov, 6.—Unofiicial returns give Foraker a plurality of about 3,000 in Cuya- hoga county. The local republican ticket is elected with one or two minor exceptions. Later reports from northern Ohio towns show republican gains. It is generally thought, however, that these gains will not be large enough to offset Foraker's losses in the southern part of the state.
