M. the Democratic 5iate Committee claimed the election of theiwr State ticket by from 8300 to 10,000 plurality and a majority of the Legislature on joint ballot for United States Senntor. No fignres were given on the thirty-six Stzte Senators and 109 Representatives, but it was clain:ed that the Republican loss of fourteen members of the Legislature in Hamilion County would insure Democratic control of the Legisiature. Tue Democrats also ¢laimed the 102 members of ihe Legisiature from Cuyahoga County, which incindes Cleve- land, the home of Senator Hanna. The Republican Siate Committee concede the loss of Hamilton County, but claimed that there were not suflicient returns from Cleveland on which to base any estimate. With the loss of fourteen members of the Legisiature in Hamilion County and twelve members in Cuyahoga County, the Republ cans dJ not expect to carry the Legislature. ‘The Republican Srate Com- mittee claim they will carry Cuyahoga County and meke gains in other counties.

A heavy continucus rain prevailed all day and this, no doubt, affected the rural vote. The Republican gains seem to come from rural ‘Democratic counties and the Democratic gains from the Republican counties in which the large cities are lo- cated. The Republicans at this hour do not concede the loss of their State ticket or of the control of the Legislature, but admit that the result will be very close on both. Owing to the condition of the roads the bicycle messengers are having trouble in rendering the prompt service that was expecied from the rural precinc At 11:30 o’clock the Democratic man- agers at their State headquarters had not changed their earlier claims of the elec- | tion of Chapman as Governor and on securing a majority on joint ballot in the Legis ature for Senator. No definite fig- ures were given out, and it was conceded that some doubtlul counties and Sena- torial districts had not been heard from on the vote for members of the Legisla- ture.

Kor hours yesterday afternoon and un- til nearly midnight Market street in front of Tue CaLn office was densely crowded by people who were eager to get the latest election news as it was spread upon the bulletin-roll, or, at night, thrown upon | canvas by stereopticon. At times the throng became so great that it interfered with traffic on this great trade artery of the city, and anon enthn- siastic part'sans gave vent to their joy in wild shouts as balletins announcing some victory of their party were flarhed upon the canvas.

M., at which hour enou:h was known of the Easiern elections to forecast the resuit. No other paper started to post the returns tili two hours a ter THE CALL started, and throughout the evening the big revoly- ing sheet apparatus was the center of in- terest. As between a stereopticon outfit and the letterea scroll it was easily proved that for election returns, where the old politicians like to look at the figures, cota- pare notes and become reminiscent, the scroll is more appreciated by the public than thbe illusive stereopticon, which is undoubtedly the best for flashing the news of an exciting boxing contest, Tne Democratic successes that were telegraphed from the East bad a refresh- ing effect on the Demccratic party of tis city, which has been very modest, politi- cally, since last November. This after- noon they approached the hulletins with evident fear; toward evening their num- bers increased, and when the cold night wind set in they became so enthused that they came into the oflice and stood over the operator.

Democratic Crowd Seemed to Have the Most of the Lung Power. NEW YORK, Nov. 2 —The attraction of the newspaper bulletin boards for the crowds was not a whit less than it was last year at the Presiden:.al election. The streets in front of the builetins were jammed with people. With very few ex- ceptions every morning and evening pa- per in the city bad bailetin boards in front of its muin cffics, while some also had them at brancues, Some bad two and three big white sheets stretched in front of thejr buildings, displaying with their election fignres photographs and colored views and the pictures of the candidates. From the south side of Nas- sau street to the park in front of the City Hall there were but two lanes in the enor- mous mass ef veople and these ianes were just wide enougi for one man to get throu:h. There was pushingand shoving and much grumbl ngand some bad words, bul in general the vrowd was gocd-natured and good-tempered. The crowd ran more to noise than last vear. There were more horns blowing than is usual on an election nicht and at timas it seemed like New Year's eve, when Trinity’s chimes are drowned by the born blowing. There was much noise made by promenading crowds of young men and boys. In front oi each white sheet was a dense mass of peop'e. Each of these masses was l | a heavy | ever to be governed on their merit | could a conglomeraticn of people of all parties. When at the beginning of the show of pictures the candidates’ faces were ex- hibited on the screens cheers greeted all of them. Tbe Democratic candidates seemed to have the most adherents, or they had the most lung power at any rate. T ey cheered their man with an aston- ishing vigor. Low was not much behind. There was a curious kind of cheer for Georue at all the screens, One would imagine that nearly every- body was clieering for him, but there was not that burst of enthusiasm that greeted Van Wyck. Itappeare as if everybody wanted to express his sympatby with the dead man and at the same time do it qu etly. When the returns began to be shown and each return give Van Wyck bigger and bigger pluraiities the Democrats drew on the reserve power of their lungs. When about a third of the city had been counted up the cheering for Van Wyck, which had been incessant, wasaugmented, and the noise they made was something stariling, How the people’s throats stocd it 15 a wonder. At one time some of the crowd in front of the Park Row side of the City Hall Park climbed over the railing and jumved on the grass. A big policeman jumped on them, and they climbed back in & hurry. This caused a jam, and there Wwas & panic on the part of some women in the crowd. A few screamed, but strong men kept them safe. A SOLDIER VOTES WHERE HE STOPS. Not Many Attempts at Illegal Voting Mark the New York Struggle. EW YORK, Nov. 2 —Twenty-five cases of alleged illegal voting were disposed of in the Center-street court to-day. The last was that of Captain Benjamin R. Roberts, U. 8. A., who registered M the First Election District for the First Assem- bly District. Captain Roberts is now at Governor’s Island, and the arrest was made on the ground that he is not entitled to'vote from there. Captain Roberis ex- piained to Mugisirate Mott that he had been in the United States army for over thirty-three years; that he bad been on the Pacitic Coast jor some time, and had recently returned to Governor’'s Island. He contended that the statutes provided that the soldiers in the army mav vole trom the place they are stationed. Magis- trate Mott said that he was right and dis- missed the case. SETH LOW TALK ON THE RESULT Better to Lose in Such a Cause Than Not to Fight. NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—The following statement was given out by Seth Low shortly before midnight: It is not possible 1o discuss the result of the election In New York City at the present moment without discrimination. A few things, 1 think, stand out on the surface of the figures. The year has heen Democratic year everywhere. Tummany has felt the advantages of this strong tendency. “I think Lhis circumstance shows the absolute necessity, and aiso shows the dif- ficulty of separating municipal from State and national issues, il the cities are In ‘s it is clear thie lizht of the ev ens’ Union has made a gallant fizht princi that are vital.

The returns show that ihere was no possibility of Republican success ia a contest on party lines, nor is it easy to imagine a time when in this ecity there will be. “For the sake of the citv I greatly de- plore the result, and y -t I would urge all whom my voice may influence not to lose heart. We have laid ihe foundation, it may well he hoped, for future success, and ours is not the first cause that has suf- fered at the outset a heavy reve: “I bespeak for the new Mayor and his associates the co-cperation of all my sup- porters, as I pledge my own, in any effort they m:y make to administer the govern- ment of tue city in the interest of the people.”’ A FUSION VICTORY IN BRYAN'S STATE. Nothing Likz Complete Re- turns, but the State Is Nct in Doubt. LINCOLN, NEg A, Nov. 2.—Nebraska to- day renewed her alieziance to fusion by electing tne three candidates on that ticket by pluralities rangihg irom 10,000 0 925,000, Nothing like complete returns have been received or will be received to- night, but enough are in to measure the resuit, and indicate a greater fusion vic- tory then in the Presidential year. From fusion headquarters the following was given out: “We have carried Nebraska for the fusion ticket from 10,0C0 to 20,000 plural- ity. With the magnificent victory of the State ticket, we have carried a majority of the county tickets. The cause leading to the result i< a determination on tue part of the peopie of Nevraska to deman i thore and better mo through the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver. *+J. H.

LINCOLN, Nesr, Nov.3.—At 1:30 this (Wednesday) morning 124 precincts out- s de of Lincoln and.Omahba had been re- ceive | by the Siate Journal, showing a net fusion gain of 1221, If this ratio of gain i1s maintained the fusion plurality for the State, outside of the iwo cities men- tioned, will ve very close to 20,000. Lancaster and Dougias- counties cannot cut this down more than 4000, and uuless material Republican gains are made in towns without telegraphic service the fusion plurality will remain at between 12,000 and 16,000. Mr. PBryan, who is at his home, was asked for an expression of opinion on Nebraska in particular and the country in general. Further than to say that the Btate returns were gratiflying he declined to make any statément until he had more carelully studied the figures. —— GREAT INTEREST TAKEN IN ENGLAND. Comment of London Journals on the Defeat of New York Reformers. LONDON, Nov. 3.—All the morning pa- pers print speeial cablegrams from New York City giving the result of the election. The Times, commenting editorially on the election of Judge Robert Van Wvek as the first Mayor of Greater New York, says: It isclear that a majority of the Democrats whom Mr. George would have rallied to his standard, drifted back, in the confusion due to his death, to the Tammany cimp, while the inability of the Repubiicans and the reformers to come to terms has practically given the game over to the skillad Tammany ma- chine men. If Mr. Low had been elected an interesting experiment wouid haye been tried, though éven a stronger man than he might bave found himself overmastered by his environments, We know what use Tammany wiil make of its victory. The merchants and bankers, the wise-and cul- tivated men, the honest and philanthropic citizens will be as pliant un er Croker’s domination as the Italian or Hungarian patriots were under Metternich’s benumb- ing rule, and who can deny toat the ‘*peo- vle love 10 have itso?”’ The Daily. Chronicle also attributes Judgze Van Wyck’selection to the death of Henry Geotge and to the fac: that the Re- publican party, though nominaily hostile to Tammany, ‘‘really depends for it exi ence on a secret working alliance with the sach ms who follow Croker’s lead.” ‘While expressi its regret and disap- pointment at the result, the Daily Chroni- cle wouid heartily congratulate the New York reformers and’ their distincuished standard-bearer on ‘the conduct of a cam- paizn which will be prominent in Ameri- can history. The Daily News says: The Republican mactine has declined to immolate itseli on the altar of good government. The only chance for Demogracy coming ovt well from its trial in’ New York lay in the de- feat of the partv system, but party disci- pline aud party loyalty are not easily broken. The afternoon parers here publish coi- umns ol matter to-day devoted to the municipal eleciion of Greater New York. Tue charge frequently made that the Eng- lish newspapers do not devote enough at- tention to American affairs is untenable in the present case. The St. James Ga- zette points out that yestercay’'s munici- pa’ elections in England are quite over- shadowed by the New York election. Thousands of Englishmen, who are quite familiar with the jersonalitics of Messrs., Low, Van Wvck and Tracy,-ure entirely ignorant of the factthat their own locel rulers were changed in the course of yes- terday, as the account of these Englisn elections is only to be scen in- obscure corners of the Enclish newspapers. SEAWRIGHT HOST SAY Y. M. C. A. Football Team Refuses to Give Him Tp. The McCoy Insisted on Letting Him Go, and the Men-Left the Association, The selection of Mr. Seawright as man- ager of the Y. M. C. A. footbail team has caused no end of trouble to the associa- tion for some time past, and has cul- minated in the withdrawal of the team from the organization. It all arose over the fact that Secretary McCoy did not want Mr. Seawright to oc- cupy that position, and the members of the team, thinking -that the secretary wanted to force some one else in, would | uot submit to his interference. Tue sec- retary gave them to understand that if they did not accede to his request for a change of management they would not be allowed to play under the auspices of the assaciation. A prominent member of the team in discussing the affair yesterday said: “The whole trouble arose over our not accapt- ing Dr, Dietz as manager. We did not want him, as he had no knowledge of football. All he did was take charge of the tinances, and his handling -of the same did not meet with our approvah 1 suppose Dr. Dieiz went to Becreiary Mec- Coy and explained matiers to him, and the latter, seeing a good opporfunity to hurt Mr. Seawright, said that he was un- suitable to occupy the position. “'Altbough we won innumerable games and gained a fine record for the associa- tion in return we goi very scant recogni- tion. Neariy all of us were members and were entitied to a great many privileges, but towels and other necessary articles were parceled out grudgingly and in other ways we were overiooked. Mr, Seawright has proved of great help to the team and beiore we wouid pari with him wede- cided to withdraw.” Mr. Seawright was seen yesterday at the Presidio, where as an enlisted solaier he i ng for a commission in the army. “It was with reluctance that I accepted the management of the team, as I was afraid my duties and studies would not {»erm\t my devoting proper time to it, and suegested that some member of the Olympic team be secured in my stead, but my refusai was not listened te. 1 was eiecte| manager against my express wishes and acted as suchduring the latter part of last season. “Having heard that Secretary McCoy was oppo-ed 1o my aciing as manager, [ tried to resign, but tue team would not bave it. The p'ayers sent letiers to me and various memuers of the team called out here to see me and personally re- quested me to come down and coach them. It was against my wishes tha they resigned from the organ:zauen.” Secretary McCoy snid: *'As secretary oz the association I thouzht it my duty to advyise the boys, and I told them that Mr. Seawright was not a saitable person to manage them and to let him go. They reiused to do so and I notitied them they could not play under tue auspices of our association.”” D:. Dietz, the erstwhile manager of the team, is now organizing an eirven and has fifteen candidates trying for positions. The ex-Y. M. C. A. team hopes to make arrangements with the Luriine Biths peopie to play under their name, and Sea- wright will assist them in adding more victeries to their already long list.
