Democrats at Washington Jubilant
Over Tuesday’s Elections.
THE IMMEDIATE RESULTS
Will Donbtless Have An Important
Bearing Upon the Congressional}
Elections Next Year‘—Senutors
Whose Terms Expire .in 1899.
Washington, Nov. 4.—Tuesday's elec-
tions will doubtless have an important
bearing upon the Congressional elec- l.
tions next year. The two great parties 1
are already forming their lines for that
great political contest, which will be.
hardly secondary to a Presidential:
lState militia, the Naval Reserve Bat-
campaign. Democrats are jubilant .over
Tuesday’s result, and are looking for-
ward to the contest next year with an:
ticipation. '
From the elections Tuesday it is ap- 3,
parent that the Republicans cannot ex-'
pect to make any‘substantial gains in
'- the West, or-South as long as those
sections are devoted to the free-silver
issue. On the other hand the Demo-
crats expect to make great gains in
Ohio, and this they will doubtless do,
provided the State Legislature in that
State proves to be Democratic, as the
entire State will be re-districted Con-
gressionally. The Democrats also ex-
pect gains in Illinois, Indiana, Michi-
gan, Iowa, and other far Western
States. In the South they look to Ken-
tucky and Maryland to furnish sub-
stantial Democratic gains, and they
hope to divide the New York and New
Jersey delegations in the next Con-'_
gress. They also look for gains in the
Congressional elections next year from
New England, and point to the results
in Massachusetts and Rhode Island as
basis for their hopes.
Republicans declare to- day that the
Democratic hopes of gains next year
'will prove elusive. The issues this year,
they say, were mostly local, while next
year the campaign will be fought upon
the platforms of 1896.
The immediate results of Tuesday’s
elections will be the election of United
States Senators to succeed Senators
,Daniel, in Virginia; Mark Hanna, in
'Ohio, and Gorman, in Maryland. The
former gentleman will doubtless suc-
ceed himself, as the Virginia Legisla-
ture, according to indications. will be
almost unanimously Democratic. The
fate of both Hanna and Gorman was
{11111 in the balance up to a late hour
yesterday'afternoon, and the indica»
,tions were that the Legislatures in
'both States would be very close.
The complexion of the United States
Senate after March 4,1899, may hinge
on these two States.
v In 1889 the terms of the following
“Senators expire:
Republicans—Aldrich Rhode Island;
Burrows, Michigan; Davis, Minnesota;
Hale, Maine: Hanna, Ohio; Hawley,
Connecticut; Lodge, Massachusetts;
Proctor, VermOnt; Quay, Pennsylvania,
and Wilson, Washington. Total, 10.
Democrats—Bate, Tennessee; Cock-
rell, Missouri; Daniel Virginia; Faulk-
ner, West Virginia; George Missis-
sippi; Gorman, Maryland; Gray, Dela-
ware; Mills, Texas; Mitchell, Wiscon-
sin, Murphy, New York; Pa'sco, Flor-
ida; Roach, North Dakota, Smith New
Jersey; Turpie, Indiana, and White,
California Total. 15.
Silverites—Allen, Nebraska; Cannon
Utah, Clark, Wyoming. Mantle. Mon-
tana and Stewart Nevada. Total 5.
Silver- Senators will doubtless be
chosen to all the seats now held by
members of that party. With the possi-
ble exception of Nebraska, and in that
State from the returns yesterday. it is
apparent the Republicans have but lit-
tle hope of success
e'Republican Senators will be chosen
from Rhode Island Michigan, Minne-
sota, Maine, Connecticut. Massachu-
setts. Vermont and Pennsylyania, and
they will also probably succeed in
electing a Senator to the seat now. held
by Senator Mitchell of Wisconsin.
Democratic Senators will be chosen
from Tennessee. Virginia. Missouri,
Mississippi, Texas and Florida.
This will leave as doubtful the States
of West Virginia. Maryland, Delaware,
Ohio, New York, New Jersey, North
Dakota. Indiana and California, which
States will decide the future political
control of the United States Senate.
The seats from all of these States.
with the exception of Ohio, are now
held by Democrats.

M’KINLEY IN Plrrssune.
Second Celebration of the Erection of
V the Carnegie Library.
Pittsburg, Nov. 4.—Pre‘sident McKin-
ley spent 'a busy- day here. From the
time he arrived yesterday morning
events crowded thick upon him. They
were a parade, during which he was
cheered by thousands; a luncheon, a
meeting at which hc listened to
speeches and made one himself, a din-
ner and a concert. All this formed the
second celebration of Founder’s Day,
to commemorate the erection of the
Carnegie library, art gallery‘» and
museum. A Presidential salute of
twenty-one guns announced the arrival
at the Union Station of the President’s
Special train from Canton.
Twenty thousand people packed about
the station cheered the President as he
Escort-
ed by mounted policemen, the Four-
teenth and Eighteenth regiments of the
talion, and a battery of artillery, the
carriage containing the Presidentwas
driven along Liberty street and up
Fifth avenue. Other carriages con-
tained Gov. Hastings, Mayor Ford,
Senator ‘Burrows of Michigan, and
others. ,The route of march was dec-
orated with flags and hunting and
.packed with people, who cheered the
President enthusiastically along the
five-mile line of parade.
The troops did not go, all the. way,
and the President reviewed them as
they countermarched back to town. At
this place the President laughed heart-
ily as a hay dealer stepped to the door
of his store holding a sheaf of wheat
placarded with the words:
“These are McKinley times and here’s
the dollar wheat.”
The President win then driven to the
house of the chairman of the Board of
Trustees of the Carnegie Library and
luncheon was served. Mrs. McKinley
had been driven from the railroad sta-
tion to the house of Robert Pitcairn,
where she was met by 200 ladies. The
Carnegie Music Hall was crowded, and
the President was enthusiastically re-
ceived as he stepped on the stage. Con-
gressman John Dalzell‘ made the ad-
dress of welcome. Col. Samuel H-ardon
Church, author of the “Life of .Oliver
Cromwell,” read the report of the trus-
tees.
The President made an address, after
which the party adjourned to the Art
Gallery, where a levee was held. It is
estimated that the President shook
hands with 6,000 persons. After the in-
vited guests, numben‘ng‘2,000, had seen
the President, W. N. F,rew Chairman
of the Board of Trustees, suggested
that the President might be tired and
that the doors be closed.
“Is there anybody else who wants to
see me?" said Major McKinley.
"About three thousand,” was the re-
ply. '
"Then don't think of closing the
doors. Let everybody come in.”
After the public reception Major Mc-
Kinley took dinner at the house of one
of the trustees and then returned to the
hall to attend the concert.
The audience at the concert was even
larger than that of the afternoon. The
President was cheered as he entered
the hall. cheered when he went out,
and, although it-was" nearly" midnight
when his train left Shady Side station,
an enormous crowd cheered when he
left for Washington. ,.
MYER’S MURDER TRIAL.
Policeman Smith’s Slayer Identified by
His Daughter.
New York, Nov. 4.-—Justieei is setting
a rapid pace in Fritz Meyer’s race to"
death. Though it has been but seven
days since he so inhumanly murdered
Fred Smith. a brave policeman,k‘in the
discharge of his duty, 3. doom already
stares him in the face which may be
chronicled in the records of the New
York criminal courts as the quickest
case of retribution ever meted out to a
murderer in this city.
Only four court days have so far
been occupied in bringing Meyer nearer
his deserts. and it- is promised that
when another week has passed he will
have been sentenced to expiatc his
crime in the electric chair. ,
The work of securing a jury to try
the murderer was continued yesterday
before Judge Fursman in the Criminal
branch of the Supreme Court. ,
Meyer has grown exceedingly nerv-
ous since his arraignment Monday. His
lips twitch continually, and whenever
the Judge speaks the murderer gazes
at him with apparent dread of his cer-
tain fate. ,
Police Capt. Lees. of Brooklyn, ap-
peared in the court-room yesterday
with Louisa Steiger, the 20-year-old
daughter of the prisoner. She identified
her father, and was then taken from
the room.
Frederick Ochs, a. wealthy Brooklyn
brewer, was also in court and identi-
fied Meyer as the man who, a. few
weeks since, attempted to lure him to
a house on the outskirts of the city
where a daring plan had been made to
rob him of his money, and if necessary
murder him and hide his body in a
cellar in a deserted cottage reached
only by a trap door.
FARMER ROBBED OF $500.
Dal-glare Enter Bis House and Steal
Money He Had Received.
Binghamton, ,Nov. 4.-—Burglars en-
tered the farmhouse of'Frank Lane-
hart, near Maine village, early yester-
day morning and stole 8500 in cash. Mr.
Lanchart sold his farm Monday and
received 8600 on the purchase price. As
the bank here closed he took the money
home and secreted it under his pillow.
At about 2 o’clock yesterday morning
he was awakened and saw two men in.
the room. He jumped up and grappled
with one of them.

down. Then the burglars escaped in
the darkness. The bag which .con-
talned the money was found in the
yard with a five-dollar gold piece in it.
Mr. Lanehart thinks that the burglars
followed him to his home from this
city. knowing that he had money.

Philadelphia, Nov. 4.—-Lizzie Dekalba,
who is wanted for complicity in the
murder of Mrs. Kaiser, in Norristowu.
Pa... last Winter, was arrested at Bris-
tol yesterday.
The sensational story of highway
robbery that Kaiser gave of the affair
was proved false at his trial, and Kai-
ser is now waiting to be hanged.
Lizzie Dekalba and a man named
Clemmer, who is still at large, were
Kaiser’s accomplices, the crime having;
been committed for insurance.
