A DAY ON WHICH ONE MAN WAS
AS GOOD AS ANY OTHER MAN, IF
NOT A. LITTLE BETTER.
OUR “OFF YEAR.”
The election in Connecticut shows, un-
expectedly large Democratic gains all
along the line. At this writing we seem
to have the Legislature thus assuring the
return of O. H. Plait to the U. S Senate,
with the question as to whether Morris is
elected by the people still in doubt. If
the democrats succeed in getting the pro-
hibition vote thrown out for illegal infor-
mality in the printing, as they claim, then
Morris will carry an election by the peo-
ple, by a very close shave.
We lose Miles in this District and Si-
monds in the first. Wells gives Russell a
very close run, but is probably defeated.
Herein Norwalk and contiguous towns,

Grace Church.
The title deed of the Belden property
at the junction of Belden avenue and
Cross street, was secured by the new
Grace Episcopal church society on Thurs-
day, and ground was broken by four of
the descendants of the Belden family for
the laying of the foundation of the new
church. The plans of Architect Tliayer &
Wallace were, after slight modifications,
accepted and the work will be pushed
rapidly forward, it being expected that
the building will be ready for occupancy
by Jan. 15th, next. The Old homestead
is to be moved to the rear, Belden avenue
frontage and will be used as a parsonage.
The main auditorium of the church build-
ing will be 50x90 feet. The lighting will
be bya numberof transept windows; also
by a dome covering the central nave. All
the glass used will be the best cathedral
lead set. There will be a double chancel
with organ and stalls for choristers at the
side of the outer chancel with choir and
robing rooms at the rear. The system for
lighting at night will be new and novel,
formed by jets of gas protruding from a
large brass square suspended over the
body of the church.

Same towns last
year gave Black-
mer, 8,763; Brackctt, 65,693; Russell, 63,090
—a. net gain for Russell of 10,819. A heavy
vote was polled. Russell carried Boston
by over 12,000 majority against 5,000 at
thelast election.
Brookliue, the home of Congressman
Candler, which was expected to give him
a good majority, votes as follows: Brackett,
693; Russell, 878; Blackmer, 38. The Globe
says that Hoar, Dem., is elected to con-
gress over Fox, Rep., in the Fifth district;
Williams, Dem. , over Candler in the Ninth;
Andrew, Dem., over Pierce, Rep., in the
Third; also O’Neil, Dem., in the Fourth,
with the Eleventh district in doubt. Lodge,

plete, gives Russell, Dem., 32,986; Brackett,
Rep., 19,476; Blackmer, Pro., 1,464; Rus-
sell’s plurality, 13,110. The vote last year
was: Russell, 28,208; Brackett, 22,754;

ity, and the Republicans’ state committee
concede Russell’s election, although they
will not name any figures.

From Ohio.
COLUMBUS, 0., Nov. 5.—Two private tel-
egrams have been received at the Repub-
lican headquarters, which, if true, insure
the election of Maj. William McKinley.
One of the telegrams states that Wayne
county gives Mc- q -
Kinley 900 major-
ity, which shows
a change of 1,800
votes in his favor.
The other dispatch
states that in four-
teen precincts of
Stark county, Mc-
Kinley’s home, he
made a gain of
‘\
846 votes. McKin-Q: if};
ley’s own ward \%
complete gives a; _ ‘
gain of 385. This it" . '
makes McKinley’s .5
gain 846 in four-' " -
teen of the sixty-
ty-four precincts in Stark county, which
went 1,100 for Campbell last year. One
precinct heard from in Medina county
gives McKinley a. gain of twenty-seven.
Donovan, Dem., is elected over Brigham,
Rep., in the Sixth congressional district.
In the Second congressional district Cald-
well, Rep., is elected over Brown, Dem.
Returns give Orr, Rep., for congress, 384
majority. This district gave Cleveland
2,554, and Campbell 3,857 in 1889.
Returns from nearly every section in the
state indicate a. Republican victory by ma-
jorities ranging from 12,000 to 20,000. The
result is no surprise, however, as Ohio
may be relied on to give a decisive Repub-
lican majority when there are no demoral-
izing agents at work in the party. Not
only were the Republicans at peace with
each other this year, but their opponents
were afflicted with the worst case Ofapathy
they have experienced for a long time.
There was much more interest centered
in the congressional campaign than in the
state contest. As will be remembered, the
Democratic legislature last winter so ger-
rymandered the state as to be morally cer-
tain Of electing a. majority of the Ohio
delegation in the national house from
their party. Based upon the returns of
last fall, the gerrymander showed that
sixteen Democrats and five Republicans
would be elected. The results Of last fall’s
election could not be relied upon, however,
as indicating the exact political status of
the new districts, as there was a. factional
fight in the. Republican party at that time.
None who correctly understood the situa-
tion believed there would be a. delegation
of sixteen to five.
It now looks as though the result would
give the Democrats a bare majority in the
delegation. The light in the Sixteenth dis.
trict between Maj. McKinley, the author
of the new tariff law, and eat-Lieutenant
Governor \Varwick, has attracted national
interest. No other district in the United
States has been watched more close than
McKinley’s. With a majority of nearly
3,000 in favor of Warwick, it has been gen-
erally held that McKinley’s defeat was in-
evitable. But the majority of Governor
Warwick, as claimed by the Democrats,
has been slowly dropping down, until yes-
terday morning they only claimed his 8186"
tion by 600.
Cleveland — The indications are that
Johnson, Dem., for congress, in this dis-
triCt, is elected. The Republican county
ticket, except perhaps the candidate for
sheriff, is elected.
The Democratic congressional committee
of McKinley’s district concede his re-olec-
tion by a. small majority. The Democratic
state executive committee admit that they
are afraid it is true.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 5.—President Har-
rison arrived yesterday, and was met at
the depot by R. S. McKee and family. He
was driven, to their residence, and an hour
later went to the polls to vote. A few
minutes before his arrival a flag was
stretched over the entrance to the booth,
and the president bowed his head when
passing under it,: 5‘7 e was in the polling
room just three IE ltes. As be deposited
his ballot and had ' his name recorded,
Judge Landers said, “It’s plain Ben Har-
rison, now.” 1-
“Yes. sir,” [said the president, “and his
vote counts but one.”
, The Republicans concede a Democratic
victory in this city and county. Advice!
from other parts of the state agree that
the new election law werked admirably.
The chairman of the Democratic com-
mittee claims a. majority of not less than
76,000 on state ticket and eleven out of the
thirteen members of congress.
From COnnecticut.
HARTFORD, Nov. 5.—Both Republicans
and Democrats claim the state. Luzon B.
Morris thinks that he will be elected by
the people byasniall majority. _On the
other hand Gen. S. E. Merwin hopes to be
elected by the legislature. The Democrats
show gains on all sides, and the only doubt
is in the fact whether or {lot Morris can be
elected by the people. lie shows gains in,
every voting precinct. Senatorial districts
One, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Seven-
teen, Nineteen, Twenty-two and Twenty—
four are Democratic districts and Two,
Three, Sixteen, Eighteen and Twenty-one
are Republican. The other seven districts
are still doubtful. One hundred and thirty-
six out of 168 towns give Merwin, Rep.,
51,011; Morris, Dem., 52,844; Augur, Pro.,
2,447. The legislature is apparently Re-
publican on joint ballot by about 25.
Sperry, Dem., in the First, and Wilcox,
Dem., in the Second district, are elected
to congress. Russell, Rep., is elected in
the Third, and the Fourth is still uncer~
tain. __
From Minnesota.
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 5.——The Republican
state central committee claims the state by
8,000 to 10,000 plurality. The Democratic
committee will
not give any esti<
mate. The Re-
publicans 1039 one
congressman, Mit-
chell, Dem., being
elected in this dis-
trict. The returns
thus far indicate

men in F i r s t ,

W. R. MERRIAM. districts and are
hopeful for governor, but it is probable
that Merriam, Rep., is elected by a small
majority.
From New Hampshire.
CONCORD, N. H., Nov. 5.—The Democratic
state committee claims Amsden’s election
as governor by the people, and the election
of McKinney and Daniels to congress; also
a majority of the house with the senate in
doubt. Senator Chandler, ex-Congress-
man Gilligan and Hon. F. C. Churchill,
chairman Of the Republican committee,
assert that the election of governor by the
people, that the result in the First congres-
sional district and the legislature are in
doubt and that Moore, Rep., is probably
re-elected to congress in the Second dis-
trict. The vote in the state is the closest
for years.
From Arkansas.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Nov. 5.—With the
single exception of trouble at Pine Bluff,
where a negro deputy shorifi fatally wound-
‘edapoliceman named Laming and shot
two more, all white, the election in Arkan-
sas was quiet. Returns indicate Demo-
cratic gains over the state election in Sep-
tember. The Democrats claim the elec-
tion of all the congressmen, including
Breckinridge in the Second district.
From Delaware.
WILMINGTON, Nov. 5.—Returns from ten
districts out Of twenty-seven of this city
show a Republican gain of over 500. The
city will probably go Republican by a. safe
majority. Returns from the counties are
coming in very slowly. New Castle county
may be Democratic by a. small majority,
but the Republicans claim it. Kent and
Sussex counties are also in doubt.
From Illinois.
CHICAGO, 1115., Nov. 5.—-The Democratic
state central committee claims private ad-
vices shoWing that the Democrats carry
the state by a good majority; that they
have surely gained three and probably five
congressmen. Nothing definite can be
given about Cook county. Cannon is un-
doubtedly elected by a small majority.
West Virginia.
VVASIIINGTON, Nov. 5.—Private dispatch-
es rcceived here from Wheeling, W. Va.,
indicate the election Of the entire Demo-
cratic delegation in congress. Wilson,
Capehart and Alderson, Democrats, are,
the dispatch says, undoubtedly elected,
and Pendleton, from the First district, is
probably elected.
From Virginia.
RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 5.——The state Demo~
cratic committee claims a solid delegation
to the next congress. John M. Langston
says he was elected by 5,000 to 8,000, but
was beaten on the returns by fraud and in-
timidation. He says he is willing to sub-
mit his case to a. Democratic committee.
From Rhode Island.
PROVIDENCE, Nov. 5.—It is probable that
Rhode Island will send two Democratic
congressmen to Washington. Lapham’s
. election in the First district is assured by
1,000 majority over all. The Second dis-
trict is very close, and there will probably
be no election.
From Nebraska.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 5.—Returns indicate
the election of Boyd, Dem.,for governor,the
choice of three Democratic congressmen
and the defeat of the Prohibitionists. The
majority against the latter will be above
15,000.
From Iowa.
DES MOINES, Ia. ,Nov. 5.—-'1‘he Republican
state committee claim the state by 5,000
majority, and all the congress districts ex.
cept the First and Second. The Democrats,
however, still claim the state.
From Utah.
SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. 5.—Caine, Mor-
man, is elected delegate to congress over
Goodwin, Liberal, by 3,000 to 5,000 majority.
From Several Southern States}
Mississippi sends a solid Democratic del-

A Close Contest, Slightly Fa-
voring the Democrats.
THE VICTORY 0F TAMMANY HALL.
A Clean Democratic Sweep in New York
City—Diverse Opinions of the Metro-
politan Journals Concerning the Con-
gressional Situation.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5.—Intercst in one of
the liveliest municipal canvasses we have
recently had was increased by the desire
to learn the effect of the new ballot reform
law on the masses of the people.
worked smoothly as a. rule throughout the
city and the novel conditions of the secret
ballot did not have the pronounced efiect
on the vote Of certain classes which many
political prophets had anticipated. This
was largely the result of educating the
voters in the intricicies of the law before
election. It is not thought that the want
of learning kept many from the polls, and
once there it kept none from voting, as all
were instructed who desired by the poll
clerks. Opinions differed, however, as to
some of the provisions of the law, and this
caused a. number of misunderstandings
and recourse to the courts. There was
very little delay in polling the ballots and
nothing occurred to materially detract
from the general success of the low.
Tammany Hall has gained a decisive
victory over the Republican and County
Democracy fusion. Grant for mayor is not
likely to fall below 22,000 majority over
Scott. The vote for district attorney, in
which it was expected that Nicoll, the
Tammany nominee, would fall far behind
the vote for Grant, will show that he has
a. majority of nearly 21,000 over God, the
fusion candidate.
All the candidates for the other county
offices—namely, sherifl, president of the
board of aldermen and county clerk, have
average majorities of 20,000.
The vote for superior court judges and
city court judges shows the same majority
in favor of Tammany candidates. In the
city over 200,000 votes have been cast out
of the registration of 245,0“). The county
officers elected are therefore the Tammany
nominees: Grant, mayor; German, sheriff;
Giegctich, county clerk; Arnold, president
of the board of aldermen. The Democrats
carried every congressional district in the
city with the following results: Sixth dis-
trict, J. R. Fellows; Seventh, C. J. Dunphy;
Eighth, Timothy J. Campbell; Ninth,Amos
J. Cummings; Tenth, Francis B. Spinola;
Eleventh, John De Witt Warner; Twelfth,
Roswell P. Flower; Thirteenth, Ashbel P.
Fitch.
The Democracy has also made a decisive
victory in the assembly. Those elected,
with five exceptions, are Tammany nomi-
nees. All the successful candidates in the
Fourth, Sixth, Tenth and Twenty-second
districts are Democrats elected on the
fusion ticket. Tammany’s victories for
members of the board of aldermen are in
the same proportion as that for the as-
sembly. .
Bright and early Chauncey M. Depew
walked into the polling booth of the
Fifteenth district of the Twenty-first as-
sembly district to cast his vote. A bunch
of unfolded ballots was handed to him and
he was directed into a little closet to pre-
pare his vote. He stayed there four min-
utes. He advanced to where the inspectors
stood waiting to receive his vote, with an
air of confidence, and said: “I wish to vote
this ballot,” and he handed a. single ballot
to the inspector. “I do not wish to vote
these,” and he held out a bunch to a. second
inspector.
“You must excuse me,” said the first
inspector, “but, Mr. Depew, you have
folded your ballots incorrectly. You
should have left the printed inscription on
the outside. I am forced to ask you to
return to your closet and fold them cor-
rectly.”
“You might as well take these back with
you also,” said the second inspector.
“They are all folded the wrong way.”
Mr. Depew made another trip to the
little closet, where he refolded his ballots.
Then he came out with a. very red face,
cast his vote and departed.
In all, thirty writs of mandamus were
issued by the different supreme court
judges during the day, the most Of which
were procured at the instances of ex-
Judge Charles Donohue, who sat in court
all day to direct the applications for writs
in the interest of Tammany Hall. An im-
portant ruling was made in the case of
Silas Mauder, who consumed over ten
minutes with one set of ballots, in the
Eleventh election district of Eighth as-
sembly district. He wanted a new set,
.but the clerks refused to give another on
the ground that he had exhausted his ten
minutes. Judge Andrews decided that he
was entitled to ten minutes’ consideration
of each of the four sets of ballots allowed
a. voter by the new law. This virtually
gives a voter the right to use a. booth for
forty minutes. It is easily seen that a. few
voters in combination could keep a. booth
during the whole period of voting. United
States Commissioners Shields and Denel
held court until dark, disposing of 127
cases. Commissioner Shields held ten
persons for examination on the charge of
fraudulent registration, and Commissioner
Denel held twelve for examination.
The vote of the city for mayor complete
is: Scott, 91,063; Grant, 114,425; Demorest,
864; Delabar, 2,899; Redpatb, 754.

ward Ellsworth is elected mayor by a.
majority of 400. '
Rochester—Returns from Wayne county

is returned to the assembly from the Sec-
ond district by 350 and E. B. Norris, Dem.,

are elected by small majorities in Steuben
county.
The city gives Greenleaf, Dem., for con-
gress about 1,300 majority, and he is proba-
bly elected. The Republicans elect all

Newburg—Complete returns from the
First assemby district of Orange county
gives Taylor, Dem., 56 majority. This
is a Democratic gain.
Troy —For congress Quackenbush’s,Rep. ,
majority over Collins, Dem., in Eighteenth
district is estimated at 2,500. In the First;

ticket, with the exception of county judge,
is estimated elected by 300 majority.
Oswego—The Democrats have made tre-
mendous gains in Oswego county. The .
county—with nine districts to hear from—
gives Payne, for congress, 511. The county
is usually good for 3,000 Republican ma-
jority. Burnham, Payne’s opponent, car-
ries Oswego county by 1,000 majority.
The Democrats elect Charles. N. Bulgen
recorder by 1,082 majority. They also elect
C. N. Avery district attorney and probably
Marion Thompson superintendent of the
poor. This is a great victory for the Dem-
ocrats. Sellook is re-elected to the assem-
bly from the Second district. The First
district is in doubt, but Stranahan is prob-
ably elected by a small majority.
Albany—Ever since 1885 Governor Hill
has received the election returns at the ex-
ecutive chamber. It is a pretty quick trip
to leave Elmira. at 3 O’clock at the after-
noon and get here at 8:50 in the evening.
This Governor Hill did today. From the
depot he drove direct to the executive
chamber, where he found upon his desk 9. ‘
pile of bulletins and telegrams. Opera-
tors from the Postal and Western Union
Telegraph companies had separate tables
in the governor’s private waiting room,
and they reeled ofi telegrams as fast as
they could write them for the governor
and the state officials. The chamber was
brilliantly lighted, and from its windows
the blazing bonfires in the lower part of
the city made a. picturesque scene.
Returns so far received from assem-
bly districts indicate the election to the
assembly of 68 Democrats and 60 Repub-
licans. The gains of assemblymen made
by the Democrats will give them the legis-
lature on joint ballot, securing the election
of a Democratic United States senator from
this state.
The latest corrected returns received.
from the various assembly districts give
the Democrats sixty-seven and the Repub-
licans sixty-one members. This will make
the legislature 'a tie on joint ballot.
