Results in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Maryland. The day ater the battle the politicians came abroad in large numbers, Tbe big guns amoung them were conspicuous under the dome of the drinking saloon iu the Astor House, “Jake” Hess, the anti-Tam- many candidate for Register, was thore with a group of friends around him, Men saia that Juke had been badly sold in the race; thathis tickets were thrown out of the boxes inthe First Assembly district right into the river, and that other indignities had been done him to help toward his defeat, He met his dis- comfiture like a man, and though general report had it tbat the expense of his canvass was the limit of nis entire pecuniary fortune he betrayed no regret and met h.s loss with the countenanco of astoic. Judge Hogan certainly dragged am enormous strength along with bim in support of the county ticket, and only for Hogan Hess would have been elected. Mr. Joseph Suannon, popuiar as he is, had no possible chance for Senator, all of which goes to prove that the candidates in opposition to Tammany, without a properly drilled organization with men and mouey at their buck, fight a losing game when they “tackle” the old equipped concern that has been familiar to the common people for many years, The defeat of Hess was unexpected by two- thirds of the people who take an interest in politics, He bad worked night and day bimeelt, and he had auxiliaries in every part of the city working as hard as himself, He bad given ume, money and the positive risk of life, in late and untimely hours, to the canvass, und yet, to use a vulgar Western expression, he was “bisted’? in the end. Great sympathy was expressed and extended to Hess yesterday, and if any- thing can console him it must be the reflection that the ‘was dofeated less by a popular vote than by the pow- 2rful maciinery of political opponents. They say Mat is the First Assembly district unless a man “comes down’? he might be the Angel Gabriel and be ‘Won’t get the suflrages of that distinguished locality; and Jake, they say, fuiled to act up to their particular Policy aud he was “thrown”? in consequence, While the case of Hess took up agood deal of poli- Bicians’ talk yesterday that of Morrissey went ahead ol everything, 1t was Morrissey from the Battery to Harlem. Since New York became an incorporated city no such contest bas ever bappened, and gray and grave and learned men discussed the extraordinary phenomenon of a gambler and a prize fighter beg elected over a descendant of Diedrich Kuickerbocker, the president of prominent social or- ganizations and a resident of the most aristocratic quarter of the city, until it appeared as ifthe base of the social pyramid was about to bo substituted for the apex. This Morrissey-Schell business frowned almost entirely in yestorday’s dis. wussions the other issues of the canvass, Tne Registersbip, though mentioned at first in this article as being an absorbing theme of popular interest was utterly forgotten in the wonderment everywhere shown over the success of Morrissey as opposed to the whole force of Tammany Hall, “It Mr. Kelly had been lke Tweed or Sweeny,’ said an advocate of his, “he could by acertain dishonest mans Ipujation of the elective machinery put Mr. Morrissey outof sight, He did notdoso, He acted personally ‘square’ and on a square issue ho was deplorably de- touted.” Tammany was successiul except in afew instances, MORRISSEY’S HEADQUARTERS, Morrissey’s heauquarters were closed up yestorday, Morrissey himeelt felt sufficiently able to rise from his bed and walk a block. do. He went inthe balmy fail air as tar as tbe Hoit- man House and he returned soon and went to bed. Me was in bed and very weak lust evening when the question was putto bim:— “Mr. Morrissey, When will you get on your feet again and make a speech?” Mr. Monuissky—(don’t think I'll be on my feet for some time, but I'll be on my feet one of these days and 1’ii have something to say.”? “And what will you ave to say, Mr. Morrissey ?’’ Mr. Moniissey—I will have to say that I thank all the men who huve voted for me, 1 did not ask them.

Why, A he very best on Filth avenue aud tL 'Y poorest on Eleventh avenue, Mr. Morrissey was waited upon by aclub of young democrats at bis lodginus in the Ashland House, They talied for him in loud eries, and the whole street was Jilled with themseives and their band and banner bearers. Mr. Morrissey was tvo ill to respond god in his ace appeared Mr, Ira Shaler, While Mr. Shafer was speaking Mrs, Morrissey, a tall, sialely Woman, with the colors of the Uuien and of those of ber w! came forward on the bulcouy of the Ashland House, in re sponse lo the cries lor ber busvand, and sald in a “Mr. Morrissey bas gone to bed and bi hot possibly make an ap ance to-night,’ Well, give us a speech yourself, Mra. diorrissuy,? demanaed une of the crowd. “Lhav’s too much to ask,” replied Sirs, Morrissey, “pecause Women don’t speak in public; but Li ask ou to drink a giass of wine to the health of Joun orrissey, my husband.” The crowa weut away with several cheers for Mr. aud drs, Morrissey.
