SCHMITZ was asked last evening to make a statement shortly after the counting.of ‘the votes indicated his return to office for a second term. The Mayor, who had retired to his home early and was with a number of his friends, said : “I must say that'I am more than pleased with the result. I never had a serious doubt as to the result of the election. To the people who have supported me I am indeed grateful. My fight was a hard one, as I was not supported by the public press in a single instance, but that is the result of politics. “I have no hard feeling against those who opposed my re-clection, and I will endeavor to give the people of San Francisco a_good, clean administrationn. I have tried to do this, and would have done much better if I had had the proper support, but now that I have the con- fidence of the people I hope to' carry out my intentions. “As regards the handling or rather the direction of expenditure of money voted on the bond election, I will do everflhing in my power to see that the funds are rightfully expended and make San Francisco one of the grandest cities in the world. “I trust and hope that when my second term of office expires the people will not regret the confidence they have again placed in me.” e e e 3 Continued on Page 9, = { | and, Maryland, Kentucky and | Assembly strongly Republican. | | Republican Mayors in Syracuse, | | Elmira, Rome and Albany. | !

Its entire city ticket was elected by a plurality second only to the un- precedented sweep of 1902, when Coler car- ried the city by 122,000 votes more than Odell, the Republican candidate, Gov- ernor. It was more than a landslide—it was an avalanche. Manhattan and the Bronx, comprising New York County, gave a plurality of between 60,000 and 70,000 for McClellan, Grout and Forbes. Even Brooklyn was carried by the Tammany ticket by a plurality approaching 4000. In this Tammany sweep practically all the Democratic candidates for borough and county offices, except in Richmond, triumphed. The Board of Aldermen will be completely in the control of Tammany. The verdict at the polls str ly en- trenches the wigwam in power in this city. Charles F. Murphy becomes the most important Democrat in the country. He will probably have more influence in the next Democratic National Convention than Croker, Kelly or Hill ever had, be- cause he will not only be able to domi- nate the entire Democratic party of the entire city, but the Democratic party of the State as well. Murphy's victory seems to mean the destruction of both Hill and Hugh McLaughlin. TAMMANY FOR CLEVELAND. The Tammany leader will be able to name the next Democratic candidate for Governor, and, possibly, the next Demo- cratic candidate for President. The Call is Informed that Tammany will stand in favor of the nomination of Grover Cleveland for President next year, and it is said that Judge D. Cady Herrick | of Albany will displace Hill as nominal State leader and may be the candidate of the Democrats for Governor. One lesson of the returns is that New York is not only still a Democratic eity, |put a Tammany city as well. Devery has | ceased to be an issue and the public has | taken the view that Devery was respon- | sible for graft and blackmall and that Tammany, having thrown Devery out, was entitled to another trial in manag- ing the affairs of the municipality. Dev- ery’s vote was pitifully small. The election seems to have been very fair and orderly. While the results show a complete breakdown of Republican and Fusion, it cannot be charged that the Re- publican organization was treacherous. The tide was simply strongly in favor of | Democracy and a wide-open town. REPUBLICANS FAIL TO VOTE | The Republicans who left their party | 1ast year are still with the Democracy and there also is evidence that thousands | aid not go to the polls. The constitutional amendment which was submitted to voters, providing for expenditure of $101,000,000 for the improve- ment of the Erie Canal so as to permit | the transportation of barges carrying | 1000 tons of freight, probably has been | adopted. Very few counties up State vot- |ed in favor of it. The amendment was | voted down by some of the more impor- | tant countles traversed by the canal. In | those counties which are not traversed by the canal in Northern and Southern New York the amendment was simply slaughtered. Erie County, which was supposed to be the hotbed of canal sentiment, did not do as well as the ad- vocates of the improvement had expected, but New York County's heavy vote has probably more than offset the up State result. The Assembly of the State York is safely Republican. LANDSLIDE IN OHIO. Ohio has gone overwhelmingly Repub- lican. The contest in that State was for Governor and the Legislature and it had an additional interest because Semator ‘Hanna, chairman of the Republican Na- tional Committee, is a candidate for re- election to the Senate. Hanna will con- trol the Legislature by a big margin, and Myron T. Herrick, Republican. has de- of New
