Mr.. TwEED's NEW REFORM PARTY.

The Democratic State Convention
finished its labors yesterday. AS
apparent from the deliberations, the
result of the first day was not. so
universally satisfactory at the place
in question as people at distance
were justified in assuming. The
Anti -Tammany men must neverthe-
less subsequently have been mate
rally influenced by the position
which the Tammanyites betrayed,
after the withdrawal with which
they favored us. The reception
which the deliberations of the Con
vention of the day before yesterday
found in the Republican press, serve
as an indication as to what the i'm
pudent conduct of Tammany at
Rochester ON Wednesday evening
supported itself upon. The Repub-
lican Interpretation of the events
under which Tammany withdrew
from the Convention must indeed
tend to lead the Tammanyites to
carry their heads higher, and it
makes prompt steps necessary in
order to put limit to all further
misapprehensions. While the Re-
form Delegation went to Rochester
principally with the purpose of pro
testing against the admission of
Tammany, and by no 9e22e design
ed to force the recogdH of the
Apollo Rooms Delegation as their
authority was most decidedly liable
to be contested }, they could clearly
not be satified with the resolutions
which the Convention adopted after
the Withdrawal of Tammany. This
was because Tammany, supported
by its declaration of withdrawal,
could presume and already in Roch-
ester clearly did presume, to lay
claim for itself to further political
activity, and in 1t to acknowledge
ment as the regular party organiza
tion. 1t was necessary for the Re
form Democrats Immediately to
avert the result. For this reason
directly upon the reopening of the
Convention the Reformers placed
openly before it the abuse which
might be practiced through the res
olution of the Convention of the
day before yesterday, and they put
an end, through concise counter
declaration, to every doubt whether
a Tammany candidate could claim
support from the Democracy +

Everything Republican by
Increased Majorities.
OCTOBER RESPONDS
TO SEPTEMBER.

The official returns come in very
slow, and it is therefore difficult to
say what the actual majority on the
State ticket will be, but it will not
be less than 10000, and may be- 25,
600. The Legislature as now re-
ported is Republican on joint bal
lot by from IL to Is. Thus secur-
ing the election of United States
Senator and Republican Legisla-
ture to redistrict the State. There
are Republican gains in many
counties and towns, while in several
counties and towns, including
Akron the Democrats have made
slight gains.

Ohio.

The Pittsburgh Commercial says,
Ohio maintains her high standing
among the family of Republican
States. With $4,000 majority for
Gen. Noyes, the Republican candi-
date for Governor, and a Republican
majority in the Legislature, which
insures Republican United States
Senator, the Democrats, who made
a desperate struggle, must abandon
all expectation concerning Ohio
hereafter. She stands shoulder to
shoulder with Pennsylvania against
the false Democracy, whose last hope
of carrying the country has been
destroyed by Tuesdays elections.

AFriAlRs IN FRANCE.
The Tribune says:

i
1t lis announced that Rochefort's
sentence of perpetual Imprisonment
has been committed tocthat of ban
ishment from France. We are not
informed whether the Pardons Com
mission has acted, or NJ Theirs has
indulged in the luxury of a little
magnanimity and made this grudged
concession to justice and decency.
The former sentence wasmonstrous,
and even the commuted one is gross
ly unjust. Rochefort has as much
right to remain in France as NJ.
Theirs has. There was nothing
proved against him on the trial ex-
cept what was to his credit. He
was sacrificed to the Iesentments of
the present personal Government
and the adherents ofthe fallen En-
pire. His peculiarities as jurnal-
ist have been ridiculously exagger-
ated. There are papers in New
York which denounce him as a NOR
al parish, which publish in every is
sue more offensive personalities
than can be found in tho, whole series
of the Lanterne.

The Election.

The October election has resulted
gloriously in favor of the Republi-
can party. In Cuyahoga county,
Ohio, where the Democrats hoped
to gain several membersof the Leg
islatufe, the Republicans elected
everything. 8 In Hamilton, where
even the Republicans had some fears,
the result is likewise favorable to us
beyond all expectation, and while
we probably lose several Represen
tatives in the State, we gain again at
other places 80 that we viii have the
Legislature by from Is to Is Of
majority on Joint ballot, and the
State ticket by from $4,000 to 3d.
600 Of a majority. In Knox county
the Republicans gain Representa-
tive, in Wayne likewise, and report
has it, that in Ashland the Demo
Gratis lose their Representative. In
Akron, and several other towns and
counties, the Democrats have made
small gains, but taking the State
over the Republicans have made
large gains. f..4f
In Pennsylvania, the Republicans
have swept everything electing
their State ticket by from 5000 to
10000 and a good working majority
in the Legislature. The returns are
not complete enough to give any
definite figures on either State or
Legislative tickets. On account of
the great fire in Chicago the tele-
graph wires are constantly in use,
and it lis very difficult to get any
news from the different States that
held elections on Tuesday last. But
the news as far as heard from is of
character that will cheer the heart
of every person that wants economy,
low taxes and a free and indepen-
dent people. Let all then who were
faithful to reform, continue their Ia
bors the coming year, and next fall
we will have a victory still more
grand and glorious. The Republi-
can party has been tried and found
as trne to the poor laboring man as
to the rich man. 1t is the party of
Justice to all who seek protection at
the hands Of this Government.

ton, for providing water in case of
fire breaking out at any time. The
machinery of their works is being
used for that purpose. Engines
and boilers are being used for pump
ing water from the river. 1,500 cit
liens were swore in last night as an
extra police force, and the Secretary
oil War has authorized Gen. Sheri-
dan to employ all available troops
for guard, and to issue one hundred
thousand rations. Five hundred
sailors are On duty. Two who were
caught IN the act of firing houses on
the West side were seized and i'm
mediately hung to lamp posts, are
on Twelfth. street, near the river,
and the other three miles away on
Claybourne avenue, North side.
This summary action has checked
the thieves and murderers. The ar
rival of tiremen and engines from
Milwaukee, st. Louis and other
cities has apparently restored con-
fidence. The Cincinnati train ar
rived this morning with four engines
three from that city and one from
Dayton. They were seventeen
hours on the way, having to change
the route twice. There was an in
expressible pleasure in seeing these
experienced men go right to work
in business way, where work was
most needed. The vast plain is coy-
cred with people, wandering about
seeing the evidences of a wealth
that was completely vanished in
flame and smoke. A fey business
men, with some nerve, ale seeking
houses for runners on the West side.
Rooms that rented last week for
fifty dollars now readily command
five thousand. There are not many
of these but enough to form a nu-
cleus for business. The newspapers
will be started again in few days.
The Tribune, who is one of the
heaviest sufferers, succeeded in yes
terday leasing a brick building on
Wabash street, at the tunnel. He
purchased two large cylinder press
es used in a job Office on the West
side, and has telegraphed east for
paper and type, there being nothing
left here. ...s .5-aa,if, ,.i.7
Mr.. Storey, of the Times, will
erect arough, one story building,
and begin the issue of his paper as
soon as material can be procured.
The Stats Zeitung will also ar
range for business as soon
as practicable, but everything must
come from elsewhere, as there is
nothing left from the business.
There are about thousand people
camped about Artesian, four miles
out, and perhaps as many more at
Lake View,and on Fullerton avenue,
near the prairie. The people are
being fed in the remaining churches
school houses sheds, and by the
road side. . III .E ~ a-,

Up Salt, River.

We said after the September elec.
tions, that the Democracy would
take a trip up Salt oRiver about Oc.
tober 10th. Our prediction was cor
rect. They hoped to carry the Leg
islatures of Ohio and Pennsylvania,
but have been sadly disappointed
in their hopes and are obliged to
take a new departure. While here
and there they find little local
comfort they nevertheless feel sad
over their decided defeat. $4,000
in Pennsylvania is bitter Pill.

PUBLICAN.

The Republicans of Pennsylvania
have done nobly. The latest news
puts the majority in the State at
eighten thousand, with Repub-
lican gains in the Legislature that
will give a good Republican MAORI
ty i'm both Houses. In 1869 the
Republican majority was 1886. The
last Legislature had a Republican
majority of four in the Senate and
twenty in the House.

WILL THEY STEAL

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The joint
Investigating Committee of Alder
men, Supervisors and Citizens met
in the room of the supervisors and
in the county Court House to-day,
and the people submitted the reports
which they have been preparing for
two months past. They show,
First-That the city debt is prac-
tically twenty millions of dollars.
Second-That not merely extava-
gance, but fraud and speculations
of the grossest character, have been
practiced in several departments
with the knowledge of their heads.
Third-That the debt has been
doubled every two years since 1869.
sFourth-That the: Mayor is re-
sponsible for the continuation OF
the wholesale robbery of the city.
Fifth-That it costs nearly as
much-thirty millions of dollars a
year-to run the government OF
this city as to administer that OF
the whole nation.
Sixth-That while 1921, ,S65
were paid for armory repairs, and
SO forth, the actual expenditure was
not more than $2O2, 1853. In, other
words, the ring stole on armory &C
counts alone $3,029, ,4O2.
fSprer1th- immnpse sums
have been paid for services unper-
formed, to men unknown in the Of
fees from which they drew their
salaries.
Eight-That the Schuyler frauds.
by which the bills of one contrae-
tor were raised from $4S,000 to
$463, 900 were committed through
the connivance of William NJ
Tweed.

Iowa.

Nothing much has as yet been
heard from Iowa, butts supposed to
be from $4,000 to 10000 as usual
though it is thought that the great
fire in Chicago has caused a light
vote IN some localities, the people
taking more interest in the Chica.
goans than in the elections.

Senator.

The result of the Senatorial elec-
ton in this district is still in doubt,
there having been no definite news
received from Knox and Morrow
counties. While McDowell's friends
feel confident that he's elected,
the Republicans also feel certain of
Devin's election, but We are unable
to say which is ahead. '-' W

TERRIBLE FIRES.

Terrible fires have been and are
still raging throughout Minnesota,
Michigan, and portions of Indiana.
It seems that the country has be-
come SO perfectly dried up by the
continued drought, THAT it is i'm
possible to check its wild career.
Nearly the whole of the State OF
Minnesota has been burned over.
Forests havebeen destroyed; fences
have been burned up, and many peo-
pie have been rendered homeless.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. II.

We have carried the State by
eighteen thousand. We gain one
member of the House in Bucks, one
in Schuylkill, two in Luzerne, one
in Cumberland, one in Franklin,
one in Cambria, and lose none. We
gain one Senator sure in Cumber-
land and Franklin, and probably
one in Luzerne, giving us both
Houses certain.

THE RESULT IN HOLMES

Awhile we could not expect to
elect our ticket in this county, it is
nevertheless gratifying to be able to
make such good showing. 1t is
very evident that the people are be-
ginning to become sensitive of the
condition of affairs in this county,
and we hope that by another year
we may be able to report further
progress in this good work. All who
nnited in laboring for this grand
result can, and no doubt do, feel iu-
bilant over the result.

CHICAGO, Oct. 100 A. NJ.
There was a heavy rain last night
and the fire is all out.
The fire continued to burn all
last night on the north side, and
this morning is under control. 1t
Is literally true to say that there is
nothing remaining of that side, from
the river north to Lincoln Park and
from north branch of the River on
the west, to the Lake on the east.
Throughout the day yesterday re-
newal of the fire, on the West side
was looked for,and change of five
degrees in the direction of the wind,
at any time, would have led to that
result. There would literally have
been no refuge for any. Every one
had clothing packed ready to start
for the prairie at any moment, but
God averted this last possible addi-
tion to our disaster. At sun down
the wind lulled, and at three O'Clock
this morning the rain, so fervently |
prayed for came. 1t did not rain
long, but the roofs of houses and
the ground had been wet, so that
now it is possible to have fires to
cook food for the multitude. A
meeting of citizens was held in the
