The Elections.

vembcr election was characterized by quiet
a cessation Of the work of firing the public
mind. The ferceness of the enthusiasm en-
kindled before the first election it was thought
would not subside before the final struggle
and the people were leil to their reflections.
This was auspiciOus for the better and the
stronger cause. The indiferent--those who
cared more for success than for any party
recognized the significance of the State eec-
iions and took their cue from the lesson they
taught Those who had been wheedled into
Greeleyism by undue influence and misrepre-
scntations of the whirlwind which was to
sweep over public mind, toned down. and
their discretion got the better of them. These
went back to Grant. Here and there few
who had stood out with tolerable firmness,
against the heartless and corrupt coalition, but
still felt weakness to vote against their party,
were stfFened up by the mully-grub bearing Of
the coniederatcd forces, and they adhered TO
their predictions for straight Democrat
and cast their votes for O'Conor These and
other considerations wrought the change from
the October vote and gave us such complete
victory, and taught those leaders who attempt
ed 10 deceive and mislead the people, a lesson
that will not be forgotten and which will carry
its weight of regret to the end of life. But
moralizng is not, perhaps, what our readers
want now. The figures that indicate the com
pleteness Of the triumph, is what they care
more about, SO we give them in the best form
we are able TO from the scattering details
found in the daily journals-mainly from the
Cleveland Herald:
INDIANA-The two hundred and eleven
precincts heard from give gain over October
of 6,700 The State goes for Grant by ten to
fifteen thousand. Marion county alone gains
one thousand.
OHIo-The Republican committee at Co
lumbus, have returns from thirty-six counties,
which show a Republican gain over the Octo-
Der vote of 12,7l2.
New YoRK-All but three election districts
heard from on the mayoralty vote, give Have
meyer Republican, 81, ,050; Lawrence Tam
many, 4S,505; O'Bren-Apollo Hall-34, ,301 ;
Hayemeycr's plurality being 3,454.
The following is the result for city officers

rior Court, II. G. Van Voors. District Attor-

The Stale Assembly will probably stand A
Democrats to "a Republicans, the Senate
which is Republican, holding over from last
year.
The vote on the general ticket in city and
county fell short of registration 1914. The
Republican vote is 4G2 more than was cast
year ago. Kernan's majority in the city will
be probably 10000, but he will not have
enough over his ticket in he State to defeat
Dix. r.., -,.,.. Pc.
NEW YORK STATE-Of 1872 members of the
State Assembly chosen 81 are Republicans. 1t
Is believed many of the latter are anti Conk-
ing Republicans, which leads to the belief
that Senator Conkleng will not be returned ia
the United States Senate.
ILLINoIs-Partial returns, embracing Al
counties outside Of Cook county, give Grant a
majority of nearly 1000. Chicago gives him
5000, and Cook county 10000 The Legis-

Democratic House, "a Republican, 90 Demo-
cratic.

the conclusion that Grant has carried the
State,

eight parishes outside of New Orleans give a
net Republican majority of 7,34S. In 1868
they gave net Republican majority of 1894
MIssoURI.-Tho returns from the State are
too meagrc to base calculation upon, but the
scattering vote from different parts of the State
