VOLUME LXXVIIL—NO. 160, DEMOCRACY'S DEFEAT Kentucky and Utah Swing Into the Republican Column. FOUR SENATORS GAINED. Brice and Gibson Borne Down ! by the Avalanche of Ballots. TAMMANY'S LONELY VICTORY.‘ [ | Late Returns Make the Grand 01d! Party’s Triumph More Com. | plete. | | WASHINGTON, D, C., Nov. 6.—Practi- cally complete returns have now been re- ceived from the States in which elections were held on Tuesday, and they prove the Republican victory to have been more de- cisive than last night’s dispatches indi- | but not materially. PRICE FIVE CENT BECOMES A RouT. At 8 o'clack to-night, however, there were only a few far-away precincts to hear from, and the result is an overwhelming victory for the Republicans. The L ture will be: Senate, 13 Republicar Democrats; House, 33 Republicans, 12 Democrats; giving the Republicans a ma- jority of 29 on joint ballot. The few returns yet to come in may slightly change this, The Republicans elect their entire State ticket by majorities ranging from about 900 to 1800. It was thought early in the day that Roberts (D.) would be elected to Congress, bat later returns gave it to Allen | by about 1000 majority. The Democrats attribute their defeat to Mormon church influence. The vote on the adoption of the consti- tution is about 35000 for and about 5000 against. | The complexion of the Legislature, of | course, gives the Republicans two United States Senators, and it is a safe prediction | that Utah’s Senators will be George Q. Cannon and Colonel Isaac Trumbo. . INCREASE THE PLURALITY. Palmer Has Ninety Thousand Votes to Spare in New York. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 6.—Re- turns received up to midnight materially increase the Republican piurality in thi: State.

The dead are: Charles Ryan, 45 years old; Ellen Ryan, his wife, 45 years old, and Johanna (20 years old), Sarah (17 yearsold), Maggie (14 yearsold) and Lizzie (12 years old), their daughters. The cause of the fire is unknown, but there are indications that it may have been started by the explosion of a kerosene lamp. —_—— END OF A LONG PURSUIT. Diamond Thief Hawley Captured by Chicago Detectives After a Year's Search. CHICAGO, IrL., Nov. 6.—Bert Hawley, diamond thief, robber and embezzler, who is first wanted for stealing $30,000 worth of diamonds from the guests of the Everett House, New York, and tapping the safe in the same hotel for several hundred dol- lars, was caught last night by eity detect- ives, who have been searching for him for more than a year, aided by the police of other cities. Proprietors and guests of hotels where he obtained clerical employment are the chief victims of Hawley’s crookedness. in and gat a position in one of the large ho- tels. The second night Hawley and $10,000 worth of jewelry were missing from the hotel. Hawley next turned up in Lincoln, Nebr., under the alias of Morris, and made | a rich haul.

WEARIED OF CLEVELAND The Ballot Used to Express Distrust of the Present Administration, REBUKED BY THE MASSES, A Blow at the Executive Who Is Leagued With Wall and Lom- bard Streets, S8T. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 6.—Hon. R.

The whole power of the Nae THE SMOKE OF BATTLE HAS CLEARED AWAY AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY STANDS ~ TRIUMPHANT. cated. Tammany’s triumph stanas out distinctly as the only important victory of the Democracy, and the fact that local issues returned Tammanyism to power leaves nothing “from which the indorsers of Clevalandism can extract consolation. The sections in which Democratic gains were made were so few and so widely sep- arated as to carry with their result no sig- nificance. Utah and Kentucky have joined the Re- publican column with rousing pluralities for their respective State tickets. Utah's Legislature will elect two Republican Sen- ators. Gibson in Maryland and Brice in Ohio will be succeeded by Kepublicans. The result of Tuesday’s battle is a more crushing blow for the Democracy than that of a year or of two years ago. It has refuted the claims that the party was re- covering from its lost strength and made apparent that only the intercession of an inscrutable providence can precinde a more disastrous failure in the campaign of next year. —_— KENTUCKY GEIS INTO LINE. Democrats Concede the Defeat of Their State Ticket. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 6.—The Re- publicans are mo less surprised to-night than are the Democrats at the result of vesterday’s election in Kentucky. When the delayved returns began to come in to- day Chairman Norman of the Democratic State Committee conceded the election of ‘W. O. Bradiey as Governor and the entire Republican State ticket by plumlit?es ranging from 5000 to 12,000, Mr. Hardin, who was at his home in Harrodsburg, also gave up the contest. He said he had made the best fight possible for the interests of his party, and he had nothing further to say. )_,\ study of the returns discloses some pe- culiar facts. The free-silver men and the sound-money men ‘“knifed”’ each other, one scratching Hardin and the other scratching the remainder of the tickt. Re- turnson the election of members of the Legislature are yet incomplete, but stillin- ate that the House will be close. The Democrats claim the election of forty-nine Republicans and the Populists one, which would make the House a tie if the Repub- licans elect Representatives in the unre- vorted counties, which are generally Re- publican. The Democrats will have a small majority in the Senate. s GAIN TWO SENATOKS. Utah Republicans Capture State Offices and Legislature. SALT LAKE, Uran, Nov. 6.—The elec- tion returns came in very slowly to-day. their figures give Palmer (R.) for Secre- tary of State a plurality of 90,100. In nearly every county the actual Repub- | lican vote is heavier than the estimate of last night indicated. The standing of the next State Senate will be: Republicans 103, Democrats 47. In the Thirty-fourth Assembly District of this city and in the Seventeenth Sena- | torial District there are close contests, | which may slightly change the result. The proposition to bond the State for the | $9,000,000 for improvement to canals has | been carried by a large majority. | InNew Jersey the Republican plurality | has grown unfil the latest returns give the | State to Griggs (R.) for Governor by 26,700. licans 18, Democrats 3; Assembly—Repub- licans 34, Democrats 17 BROOKLYN, N. Y., Nov. 6.—The latest indications are that Wurster (R.)is un- doubtedly elected Mayor of Brooklyn. —_——— MARYLAND'S BIG FLOP. A Reversal of One Hundred and Four Votes in the Legislature. BALTIMORE, Mn., Nov. 6. — Every branch of the Stateand city governments was placed by the people of Maryland in the hands of the Republican party at yes- terday’s election. There has been to day as much jubilation among Democrats throughout the State over the result of the | political upheaval as there was among hide-bound Republicans. The Republicans elected their State | tickets, Lowndes leading it with a plural- ity of about 17,000. Sixty-eight members of the House of Delegates and eight Sena- | They will have forty-three majority on { joint ballot. This shows a reversal of 104 votes, the Democrats in the last Legisla- ture having had a majority on joint ballot of 61. A Republican will go to the United States Senate to succeed Charles H, Gib- son, and fourteen of the Senators elected yesterday will vote for a successor to Sena- tor Gorman in 1898. The remarkable condition of both How- ard and Talbot counties going Republican has excited a vast amount of comment. Senator Gorman’s county—Howard—or- dinarily Democratic by 400, this year gave the Republican ticket 402 majority. —_—— DRAKES BIG MAJORITY. The Victory of Iowa Republicans Grows More Overwhelming. DES MOINES, Iowa, Nov. 6.—Official very slowly, and to-night there 1s practi- cally nothing more in sight than was Central Committee claims now that Drake will be elected by about 70,000 plurality. One feature which is developing as the. | The Legislature will stand: Senate Repub- | tors were also elected by the Republicans. ! returns on the election in Iowa come in | kuown last night. The Republican State,| | returns become more complete is that the | prohibition vote of the State, which was at | first supposed to nave been very light, will | be about 15,000, as against 5000 two years | ago. ' The Populist vote will likewise show, |a very large increase. The Democrats | seera to have been the only sufferers by the light vote in the State. The Legislature'is overwhelmingly Re- | publican. It is thought now there will be | seventy-four Republicans and’'twenty-six | Democrats in the House, and. forty-two | Republicans and eight Democrats in the | Senate. This is a much larger Republi- | can majority than at.first expected from the returns of last night on ‘the State ticket. | The Republican State Committee admits | that Drake for Governor 'has run behind | the rest of the Republican ticket by about | 4000, — MIXED VOTE IN. KANSAS. Democrats Won in~ Some Sections. With Resubmissionist Support. TOPEKA, Kaxs., Nov. 6.—The result of the election in Kansas is a great surprise | to the Republicans. They have elected 1‘ David Martin to be Chief Justice, of course, | but instead ot it beinga practically unani- | mous vote for him considerable opposition | daveloped. They also have been disap- | pointed in various localities, especially in | Sidgwick County, where the Resubmission Republicans helped to elect a' Democrat for | District Judge and probably one for Sheriff. | In Shawnze County, until now considered | a citadel of Republicanism, Kepley (D.) | was elected Sheriff over Burdge, the Re- | publican nominee. Mr. Bristow believes the total vote of the | State was between 250,000 and 260,000. He | estimated Holiday’s vote at 75,000. gy MASSACHUSETTS SHOWING. Greenhalge’s Plurality Close to Sixty- Five Thousand. BOSTON, Mass., Nov. 6.—Complate re- turns from the State give the following: For Governor, Greenhalge (R.) 185,900, Kendall (Pro.) 8766, Williams (D.) 121,401; plurality for Greenhalge 64,499, PR ST CONTESTS AT DENVER. Claims of Rival Candidates Settled in Court. DENVER, Covo., Nov. 6.—Considerable excitement prevails to-night as a result of | the close election for county officers. | The Republican party lost the offices of { Assessor and Treasurer, and late returns indicate that the office of County, Clerk | will also go to the fusion candidate by | less than 100 votes. Rumors of an attempt by the Republi- cans to steal that office by fraud are afloat. The clerkship is considered the most important political office- of the lot, May Be ! as the County Clerk has charge of the permanent registration-books, and the struggle over this position will probably g0 to the courts for settlement. o NEBRASKA’S LANDSLIDE. Remarkable Decrease in the Fote of the Populists. OMAHA, Nepe., Nov. 6.—Later returns but emphasize and increase the figures of | the Republican triumph in State, city and ‘coumy. The Populist party in this city | half of its votein a year. Norval (R.) for Judge of the Supreme Court has béen elected by a plurality over Maxwell (Pop.) ‘which may reach 25,000. ° The Populists | lost in almost_every county, and even the Democrats made a better showing. { The plurality of Captain W. J. Broatech (R.), candidate for Mayor, is abour 1000 over Brown (D.), and the remainder of the Republican city ticket is elected by from 300 to 3000 plurality. The county ticket has .been clected by a very large vlurality and every Republican candidate for Judge of the District Court has been elected. Judge C. R. Scott, the famous criminal Judge who has been bitterly criticized by thelawyers and the press of the city, ran ahead of his ticket, although there were bets that he would be defeated by 2500. S Wins the Minority Contest. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 6.—Late returns indicate that Smith (D.) has been elected Superior Court Judge. OF INTEREST THE COAST.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 6.—Social -and club circles in Washington have been for the past two days more than ordinarily ‘agitated by statements that had good foundation to the effect that a difficulty had occurred between Colonel Robert Neville and Prince Yturbide of Mexico of so serious' a character that it required great forbearance on the part of omeor both of these men to prevent a physical encounter. Immediately rumors of a hos- tile meeting according to the code of honor were actively circulated, only to be met by a subsequent statement to the ef- fect that mutual friends had pacified all ill feeling. To-night, however, other rumors have startled their friends.” They are to the effect that actual steps have already peen made toward a hostile encounter, to take place at the junction of the States of Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. Some say that in order to avoid the vigil- ance of the authorities the seconds of the gentlemen who are to face each otherat | the regulation distance left yesterday fo: McClellandsville, Del., or a point con: tiguous to that place, where any prelimin- aries not already arranged will be quietly conducted. ‘Whether the rumors are true or false is a point that, to those who have been edi- fied by a recital of them, would prove of no little interest. Up to a late hour to- night searches for the principals in the difficulty have not been rewarded by meet- ing them, and their most intimate fritnds have no knowledge, as they declare, of what their movements are at the present time.

Hundreds Attend the Funeral of the Late FEugene Field. CHICAGO, IrL, Nov. 6.—Musie, eulo- gies, poetic and otherwise, a sanctuary redofent of perfume, characterized the obsequies over the body of Ergene Field at the Fourth Presbyterian Church this afternoon. The edifice was filled with hundreds of those who had known the poet personally, or who had known him by his works. Rev. Dr. Thoms C. Hall, the pastor, read the scriptures; Rev. Dr. Gunsaulus deliv- ered a unique eulogy in verse, and Rev. | Dr. F. M. Bristol, another friend of the poet, delivered a tender address. FIGHTING [N VENELUELA | Insurgents Under Colonel Ranof Capture and Sack a Town. Rebel Leaders Deny That England Is Secretly Aiding Their Cause. CARACAS, VesezueLa, Nov. 6.—Severe fighting was reported yesterday at Angos- tura, where 180 rebels under Colonel Ranof ttacked a government force numbering 350, under Colonel Peraza. After a two hours’ engagement the government forces were obliged to evacuate the town, which | the rebels sacked, and then scattered in | all directions. | The rebels claim to have r#geived arms | from Europe, and are expecting to receive .another large consignment. They boast that within two months, unless a satisfac- | tory settlement is reaghed with England, they will capture this ci\y and establish a | new government. They deny that they are secretly aided by England, or that there are English officers among them, e Burning of Hominy Mills.

For Pacific Coast ‘Telegrams see Pages 4 and 5, -tional administration was brought against silver in Kentucky,:and if it won by any majority or plurality.it would have been a remarkable victory, brought about by official influence and patronage. In the Eighteenth, Illinois district the Democrats were not organized and money was poured in there from all directions against Lane. The district was about 2000 Democratio two years ago, but the special election did not bring out the voters and the odds were all against us from the start. “If Kentucky and the Lane district are arrayed against the free silver movement, what can be claimed of Iowa, Maryland, New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts, where the Democrats indorse the goldbug policy? Why,” added Mr. Bland with a smile, *the only distinctive Democratic victory of Tuesday is recorded by the Tammany Democrats of New York, who have always been opposed to Cleveland and _his administration. Free silver was not up for judgment in the elections held yesterday, but the National administration was.” —_—— SHERMAN IS JUBILANT. He Sees in the Result Future Triumphs for His Party. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 6.—Senator Sherman reached Washington this afters noon, coming direct from his home in Mansfield. When seen by a United Press reporter this evening the Senator said that no Republican could but feel very good over yesterday’s victory. ““We expected a very large majority in Ohio,” said Mr. Sherman, “and many of us would have been aisappointed had it been less than it was. There was unity of sentiment among the Republicans, and the big victory achieved shows that we were all working together. Mr. Foraker will be the next Senator from Ohio to suc- ceed Mr. Brice. “I am fully convinced that the action of the Democratic Congress in putting wool on the free list was the causeofa great part of the defection in their own party; free wool no doubt lost that party 20,000 votes in our State, to say nothing of the- other questions that were prought home to the voters. “The tremendous majority of yesterday only adds to the indorsement of the State Convention of the candidacy of Govornor McKinley for the Presidency, and when the election of Senator Brice's successor is —_— We stamp designs on writing paper, cards, club notices, etc. Your designs or ours. 227 Post street 215 Bush street H 5 CROCEER Ca i
