BG GAINS BY THE WINNING PARTY, Average Percentage in Cities Out- | side of Boston 34. AN UNUSUALLY LARGE VOTE. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. BOSTON, Nov. 8.—Massachusetts has gone republican by over 35,000. Three hundred and forty-six of the 31 cities and towns of the state, Woburn being the only city miss- ing.give for governor: Greenhalge.republican 19,272; Russell, democrat, 5; Banks, Pprohibitionist, 8,063. Greenhalge’s plurality, 24,897. The estimated total vote is in round numbers: Greenhalge, 192,000; Russell, 236,- @0; probable republican plurality, 36,000. The total vote of the state in 1891, which, being also an off year, is the fairest basis of a comparison, was 321,60. The total this year will exceed 350,000, which is the largest vote ever polled in any but a presidential elec- tion, and falls only about 40,000 short of that in 18%. John E. Russell's plurality is 9,765 in Boston, where Gov. Russell's plurality last year was 14,488 and 13,568 two years ago. There was throughout all the Boston pre- cincts an average gain of about 7 per cent for the democrats over their vote in the previous off year, 1891, and a gain of about 2% per cent for the head of the republican teket. Throughout the towns the demo- crats lost with most remarkable evenness about 7 per cent and the republicans gained 21 im comparison with the returns in 1391. « The 29 outside cities were more icregu!ar and eccentric in the matter of gains and losses, but by the time the reports from half of these cities were in, the perceniage of gain in them for the republicans had Settled down to a comparatively steady average of about 34, while the democratic vote ran even with Gov. Russell's vote in 1391. The towns did nobly for the republican ticket, but the greatest gains were in the cities. These show a total of 22,990 votes. In the same cities in 139 Russell received 119,066 votes and Haile, 101,241 This year Green- halge is 107,04 and Russell, 100,021. Both Sides Surprised. Tt ts difficult to tell who are most sur- prised the victors or the vanquished. Thé former are amazed at the extent of their triumph and the latter dumfounded by the Sweeping nature of their defeat. The man- agers of both parties betrayed distrust be- fore the vote was taken. The republicans dropped their claims for Greenhalge to 10,000 so as not to appear too ridiculous in case the landslide went against them, and astute Josiah Quincy tried to discount re- publican victory by saying that unless Greenhalge got more than 10,00 plurality his election would have no political signifi- cance. These figures are eloquent because it indicates the greatest majority that the most cautious democrat expected the re- publican nomfnee to receive. It bids them to admit now that the 5,000 republican plu- rality, 10,000 more than Harrison's in 18% does signify something. Taken with the AT THE WHITE HOUSE. The President Did Not Qome in From Woodley Today. Private Secretary Thurber Did Not Care to Talk Politics—Interest at the State Department. The wet and dismal weather may have been responsible for the air of gloom and depression that pervaded all the execu- tive departments today, or possibly the result of yesterday’s elections may have had something to do with it. The Presi- dent remained in the sclusion of his coun- try home all day, engaged, so it is said at the White House, in the preparation of his annual message to Congress. Private Secretary Thurber was on duty at the White House as usual. No Views to Express. He had no views to express on the sub- ject of politics. A good part of his time was taken up in explaining to Senators and Representatives who had braved the wet weather in the hope of conferring with the President on public business that the President was away today in ac- cordance with his purpose of spending five days a week at “Woodley” in consid- eration of his message and other matters of importance like the Hawaiian and Bra- zilian affairs. It was further explained that the dis- tribution of federal patronage has been re- ferred to the members of the cabinet, and that the President does not propose to = any more time to visitors on that sub- ject Has Not Talked on the Election. If the President has expressed any views on the result of yesterday's election he has been careful to do so only in the presence of persons who are not likely to repeat them. Much interest was shown at the State Department in the election in Massa- chusetts, because Mr. Josiah Quincy, late assistant secretary, resigned his position in the department for the purpose of tak- ing charge of the democratic campaign. Secretary Carlisle and Assistant Secretar- ies McAdoo and Hamlin are expected +o re- turn to Washington this evening. Mr. Hamlin voted in Massachusetts, and Secre- tary Carlisie and Mr. McAdoo were in New York as interested spectators. Secretary Lamont returned to Washing- ton last evening after having voted the straight democratic ticket in New York yesterday, but did not put in an appear- ance at the War Depariment, apparently oo“ to transmit his business at his ome. GETTING FACTS FROM BRAZIL. The President Seeking Information About the Trouble There. President Cleveland is displaying unusual interest in the Brazilian situation, and, be- sides obtaining all the data of an official character from the State and Navy Depart- ments on the subject, has sought informa- tion through other channels. The incidents leading up to the recall of Rear Admiral Stanton have been particularly inquired into by the President. Of course the official in- structions given to Admiral Stanton are on file at the Navy Department, but it is under- stood that, in addition to these official in- structions, verbal orders of a general char- acter were also given him. His return to this country is awaited with great interest, and no further action will be taken in the other republican victories of the day, it makes a political era not only in the state, but in the nation. @ Mr. Greenhalge’s Comments. Governor-elect Greenhalge bears his hon- ors modestly and gracefully. He says: “I do not regard this in any sense as a person- al triumph. The situation was one of exi- gency. The people regard it in that light. ‘The adjustment of the money question was an important factor. it was not the sole factor, however, or the fundamental cause of the present condition of affairs. In no spirit of self congratulation, in no spirit of partisan triumph or partisan feeling do we confront the duties and responsibilities upon us by the vote of Massa- chusetts today. We shall simply endeavor to make the influence of Massachusetts conjoined to the influence of Ohio and other states as potent as possible to bring about the stability of industrial condition which is the Indispensable condition of the pros- perity in this country.” Senator Cabot Lodge says: “It is a very great victory, and what I expected. I rc- gard it as the first protest of Massachusetts against the incompetency the democrats have shown since they have been in power.” Other Views. Ex-Assistant Secretary of State Quincy, chairman of the democratic state commit- tee, admits: “Of course, the result is a surprise to me. While the democratic pros- pects in this state looked very gloomy at the beginning of the campaign, the size and character of our meetings led us at the close to hope for a different outcome. But the results of the elections in other states relieve us from the necessity of find- ing any local explanation for our defeat in chusetts. We have simply met with one of those unexpected waves which overwhelmed the republican party in the congressional elections of 189. It is better poodles hee Party to face such a early in the administration of Pres- ident Cleveland rather than later. It does not cause me any discouragement as to the future of the democratic party, and I do not believe that it will have any material effect upon the course of the democratic majority in Congress.” Mayor Matthews says: “If the Senate had acted quickly the catastrophe might have been averted, but the delay in effecting the Fepeal caused the depression to continue, | pons! ly for it wa Vaseea was unjustly upon the party that h: nm be in power for the time being.” Pons Gov. Russell resolutely refuses to sa: a ‘word, but add: “If it was the other way I could talk a column.” Ex-Congressman John E. hand writing on the 2. ws read the wall and retired early. He absolutely refused to see any one during the evening, not even Assistant Secret: of the Treasury Charles S. Hamlin. who insisted that the clerk should send up his card. Mr. Russell persisted in declining to see any one. This is not because he has any feeling against the democratic management, but in this, as in other matters, he is in- @ependent enough to consult his personal preferences. Mr. Hamlin said of Mr. Russell's achieve- ments in the campaign: “I cannot say too much in praise of the magnificent series of addiesses which John E. Russell, our candidate, has given the people. It has m many years since I have read any- thing surpassing his speeches. For elo- quence and ability I have never seen them surpassed. I feel that the democracy owes him a debt of gratitude for his manly and @arnest endeavor.” All the democratic leaders are grateful to John E. Russell. The Globe already nomi- nates John E. Russell as the standard bearer in the great congressional and state contest of 189. Of course Greenhalge will be renominated by the republicans and the two men may try conclusions again.

Reports received from Alaska show that the grip is raging in that territory, and that several deaths have occurred from it. The crew of the revenue cutter Bear has been seriously crippled by the disease, all being more or less seriously affected, including Capt. Heal ++ It is believed that the North Pacitic seal- ing catch will be in the neighborhood of 145,000 sixins. meantime. It is said that Admiral Stanton’s persona! explanations may put his conduct in a. different light from that which led to | his recall. Meanwhile some naval officers of standing and experience in South American matters express opinions that commercial interests are quite as potent as political considera- tions in fomenting and keeping alive these | Brazil troubles. —e-—_____ TOPHEAVY BOATS. The Method That Will Be Followed in Correcting the Defect. The special naval board of which Com- modore Walker is president has indorsed | generally the plans proposed by the regular board of bureau chiefs for remedying top- heaviness and other faults in the design and construetion of the cruisers Detroit, | Montgomery and Marblehead, but has de- cided upon a series of experiments before taking action in the case of the gunboats Machias and Castine, each of which is re- ported to be topheavy. One of these ex- periments, perhaps the most _ important, will take place in New York. It will con- sist in placing the gunboat Castine in a dry dock filled with water, then placing suffi- cient weight upon one side to make her keel over. This is to determine the center of gravity of the vessel, and the data ob- tained will be used in ascertaining her metercentric height. As the Machias one of the vessels whose defects are to be considered by the board, the experiment is of unusual interest, and the result will be used in determining what plan the board shall recommend for remedying the de- fects in the gunboats named. A similar ex- periment will be tried with the new cruiser Columbia. The Columbia will be given a trial trip next week, and prior to it the vessel will be placed in a dry dock and weighted as in the case of the Machias. Consideration of plans for disposing of top-heaviness and general “crankiness” in the new gunboats will be commenced by the beard after the test with the Columbia has been made. The Navy Department has been notified that during a preliminary run on Long Island sound yesterday of the Marblehead, one of the vessels believed jo be defective, everything worked well, thé screw making 163 revolutions and a speed of 17.3 knots being shown under ordinary conditions, This showing is not considered important in connection with the reported erankiness of the ship, because she has not yet re- ceived her heavy armament and encoun- tered no rough weather. —————“_-2e-—____ Have Finished Their Duty.

M’KINLEY BY 80,000. Almost Unprecedented Plurality in Ohio. A MAJORITY OF 30000 OVER ALL Columbus Gives Its Vote to the Republicans. FEATURES OF THE FIGHT. ——_>___ Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 8 —Chairman Dick gives out the following: “The republican victory is complete and unprecedented. McKinley’s plurality will probably reach 9,000, the greatest ever given any governor except John Brough and o more remarkable revolution than even the enormous plurality of the war governor. “The republicans have elected 25 or 26 of 31 serators and from % to 9 of 107 repre- sentatives, also three-fourths of the county officials of the state chosen yesterday and mostyof the district officials. “All of the congressional districts but two appear to have gone republican. The people e spoken, and free trade is repudiated yy the greatest popular majority that ever rebuked any political sophistry in our his- tory.” COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 8.—The returns at noon show that Gov. McKinley has 80,000 plurality over Neal and 30,00 majority over all his three opponents. The legislature is overwhelmingly repub- lican and stands as foliows: Senate—Re- publicans, 24; democrats, 7. House—Repub- licans, 82; democrats, 25. Out of 83 counties in Ohio McKinley car- ried 64 and in many of the others was only a few hundred behind Neal. It is the larg- est piurality or majority ever given any man elected governor in the state save the 101,882 to Brough over Vallandingham in 1863. The republican gains were uniform all over the state and the country precincts gained as much for McKinley as the voting places in the cities or towns. This city gave McKinley 2,000 ma- jority and the county 1.600, going republi- can for the first time since 1806. eens —ogeseslary REPUBLICANS IN CONTROL. hey Have a Majority in the New Jersey Legislature.

Returns now being received are by entire counties and hence are not comparable with the precinct returns first received. Thev | indicate that the republicans have carried sixty-five and probably sixty-eight of the ninety-nine counties, insuring a republican majority of nearly thirty on joint ballot in the legislature. For the first time in elev years the republicans elect several anti- prohibitionists, probably fifteen or twenty. to the general assembly, indicating the probable adoption of a local option measure by the next legislature. ‘The prohibition and populist votes are unexpectedly light.

The Logical Republican Presidential Oan- didate in 1896. What is Said by Ex-Speaker Reed, Senator Aldrich and Other Promi- ment Men on the Subject. The immensity of McKinley's majority in Ohio has started a great deal of talk as to the influence it is going to have on his political future. There is a very general expression of opinion that he is the tallest timber in the republican party to attract presidential lightning and that his nomi- nation at the next republican national con- vention is the most probable thing in the future of politics. Before the election there were many predictions by prominent re- publicans that his election by a large ma- jority would make him the next republican candidate for the presidency. His major- ity turns out to be larger than any one anticipated or hoped for, and some of these predictions are interesting for review. Ex-Speaker Reed on his return from the Ohio campaign said to some of his col- | leagues: “If Gov. McKinley is re-elected by 40,900 | plurality he will be the republican standard bearer in 1896, unless he commits some great error, and that is not at ali probable.” The Logical Candidate. Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island, who had more to do with the work upon the McKinley tariff bill in 1890, when it was before the Senate committee on finance, than any other member of that body, said to a colleague on the floor of the Senate |Just before adjournment last week: “If McKinley gets 30,000 or 40,000 over his competitor you can afford to watch him in '96. He will, I believe, be the logical can- didate for the presidency.” Another republican Senator, whose name | has thrice been presented to national con- |ventions for the presidential nomination, |but who, on account of his prospects in the future, would object to being quoted |upon this subject, said just before he left | |for his western home to take the stump in |a campaign which had a doubtful prospect, but which has developed a republican vic- | tory: Ought Not to Be Again Governor. | “To my mind McKinley is the logical | candidate in 1896, if it transpires that tariff |has been the principal! issue in Ohio and he | wins an unusuai victory—secures a majority of say 30,000 or 40.00. If he achieves a great |victory he ought to lose no time in setting jat rest the possibility that he will again jencent the nomination for governor. “In the first place three terms are suffi- |cient fer any man in ine governor's chair. [it is different with the office of goveraor |from that of a Senator or Congressman, in that the governor's cflice deals solely with dd the man in Congress has to A governor lons which, in a measure, untits him for holding the oflic |a lengthy period, while a man in Congr j having a greater Leld for opera keep out of loca} entanglement | Kinley is re-elected by a large major |absolutely refuses another race in i will be the presidential nominee in‘ |} have no doubt will be elected.

POPULISES MADE A POO A POOR SHOWING. >—-—- rised at Their Big Majority. Democrats Surp IT WAS NOT EXPECTED. ee Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 8—The demo- cratic victory in this state yesterday was as much a surprise to the democrats as repub- licans. While several of the democratic leaders made boasts of 30,000 majority, none supposed in reality it would go over 20,000. The estimated majority of 40,000 gives great rejoicing among the democratic leaders. It seems now that the populists will rot get over five or six members of the legisla- ture out of 128 to be chosen. About half of the old Senators hold over. This is the greatest surprise of the election, as the democrats had conceded the populists at least twenty-five members on joint ball O'Ferrall, as was predicted, ran behind his ticket. The republican vicrories in other states has thrown a damper over democracy here, and has somewhat cur- tailed the rejoicing over the result in Vir- ginia. . RICHMOND, V Nov. 8.—It will be some days before complete returns are in from the inaccessible counties, but nothing that ean happen there will change the results as communicated by State Chairman Elly- son in the following telegram sent last night to President Cleveland: “Col. Charles T. O'Ferrall and the entire |state ticket elected by a heavy majority. |The democrats have elected a majority of both branches of the general assembly.” In spite of every effort to make Repre- sentative O’Ferrall’s vote in favor of ¢he repeal of the Sherman law an issue in the | campaign the populists made an unexpect- edly poor showing. At present they do not seem to have carried more than four or five out of the hundred and more counties in the state and they will hardly have a re- | spectable minority vote in the general as- |sembly. They will probably show up better in some of the distant counties, which are populist strongholds, when they are heard from. ‘There was considerable apathy on the democratic side, a Nght vote and O’Ferrall ran behind his ticket, but there was no pop- ular enthusiasm or good working organiza- tion to give life to the opposition, Secretary Harris of the populist party is claiming twenty populist members and two senators, but can name only ten members. Asked to explain the defeat, he said that |the democrats had polled more votes and |done more cheating than the populists, and ‘that the republicans did not rally to their support as they had promised to do. - GARY'S ELECTION JUDGE The Most Gratifying Featare to Chi- cago Republicans.

House bill 4223, having for its object the right of appeal from the findings of the Police Court, has been reported upon by the attorney for the District. While he is of the opinion that there should be a right of appeal from the Police Court to the Court of Appeals, he thinks that the right should be more limited than is provided in the bill. The bill is retroactive, and applies to cases tried in the Police Court since April 3, 1893. Continuing, he says: “The notion of an ap- peal is a natural one, yet I do not think the ends of justice demand an appeal in every | case, irrespective of the amount of the j fine of, say, $0 or upward, or imprison- | peal from the Police Court should there- |fore be limited to such cases as involve a |fine of, say, $0 or upwards, or imprison- ment in the District jail or work house for a period of thirty days or more, and then only on special allowance by a justice of | the Court of Appeals after examination of | a bill of exceptions, certified by the judge of | the Police Court who tried the case. With Proper Limitations. “By such a limitation of the right of ap- | Peal, enough cases would be reviewed by the | Court of Appeals to pzeserve the rights of | individuals, and at the same time to estab- lish just and correct principles for the guidance of the judges of the Police Court | In deciding the recurring new questions cf law arising in the administration of justice in that tribunal. An appeal from the Police | Court should not be allowed to suspend sen- tence unless the appellant give bond, with sureties to be approved by a judge of the | Police Court, conditioned for his or her ap- | pearance in the Police Court for sentence in case the judgment is affirmed on appeal. Without such a provision as this the right of appeal would be abused. This was a con- dition when an appeal from the Police Court | was ailowed in all cases to the Criminal Court of this District. Without such a pro- vision, any defendant, after conviction, may note an appeal and leave the District. En- | tertaining these views Mr. Thomas does not | recommend the bill, but submits a substi- | tute embracing his notions of what the law | should be on the subject. Any other method |of appeal from the Police Court, he says, | would be iiable to abuse and would result |in not only overcrowding the docket of the |Court of Appeals with petty cases, to the | detriment of more important business, but would delay and, indeed, practically cefeat |the Commissioners in the enforcement of | the laws, o-dinances and police regulations of the District.” Mr. Thomas’ Substitute. | The substitute bill submitted by Mr. | Thomas provides that an appeal may be |taken in all cases where the fine is $0 or | upward, or punishment in the jail or work | house for thirty days or more. It is also | provided that no appeal shall be allowed | unless a bill of exceptions shall be prepared jand submitted to the trial judge for bis | signature within five days after the trial. | GRIFFIN ELECTED AT DETROIT.

He came out of the army | With the brevet of major for “gallant and | meritorious service.” Major Griffin has a!- ways been an active democrat and was jonce the democratic candidate for the su- |preme bench in this state.

Since then a gradual reduction has taken |place, and since September 15 national jbanks which had previously taken out | additional circulation have surrendered ‘circulation to the extent of $1,136,250. Of this amount five national banks in the city of New York surrendered $882,000; one bank in Baltimore, $90,000, and three county banks, in different sections of the United States, $164,250. Mr. Ji The President has settled the fight over the office of collector of internal revenue for the seventh district of Indiana by the ap- | pointment of M>. Joshua Jump. This is re- | zarded as a great victory for Senator Voor- | sees, Mr. Jump is a partner of John E. Lamb, an ex-Congressman from the Terre Haute district, and a protege of Senator Voor- hees. Interest in the appointment from the fact that the successful candid: was antogonized by the Representative from the Terre Haute district, Mr. Brook- shire. The latter was an original Cleve- land man, while all of the other leading democrats of the district were opposed to the President's nomination, and secured an anti-Cleveland delegation to Chicago | against his efforts to the contrary. These facts were laid before the President by Mr. Brookshire, who was confident for a while that Mr. Jump would not be appointed, |but the Indorsements of Senators Voor- |hees and Turpie and of Representatives Taylor, Bretz, Brown and Cooper finally secured the appointment. ——_ Ex-Minister Egan Here.

SOME OPINIONS Of the Causes That Produced Yes- terday’s Remarkable Results. a BUSINESS DEPRESSION RESPONSIBLE, According to the Views of Some Prominent Democrats. VIRGINIA GIVES HOPE, The result of the elections yesterday has left the democrats here in rather a be- wildered frame of mind. There is a great deal of “I-told-you-so” and “‘just-as-I-ex- pected” talk and some of the democrats who have been dissatisfied with the administra- tion are smiling through their hats. They all recognize, however, that the extent of their defeat is such as to promise a good deal of trouble for them in the future. There In New York, however, they did not expect any such majority for the republicans, and Senerally the republican majorities that rger than the democrats had He did not care to talk the causes, but said that the tariff had nothing to do with it, as the of the bill the democrats would was not yet known, and there could be no trial of it before the people in this election. Democrats Were Getting Tee Cons: dent. Representative Forman said that it was an off year, and you could never tell what would happen in an off year, and he be- lieved the defeat would make the democrats a little more cautious and more harmonious. They were getting too conddent and inde- pendent. ‘ Licked, but Not Conquered.

No Reason to Feel Glum. First Assistant Postmaster General Frank Jones was in a smiling frame of face when the reporter assaulted him for his reason why all this was thus. The democratic party would toe the scratch next time. Blows of this character couldn't phase it. A knock down with democracy only acted as a tonic. The result was due to local causes. The result in Ohio was the one of most importance. It brought McKinley once more in popular view as a political success and raised his prospects as a chunk of presidential timber.
