IA Senatorial vote and the money was
placed in the possession Of n special
committee and is now in the hands Of
the State Comptroller. Beyond this fact
is the circulation OF large sums of money
10y prominent Republicans pending the
Senatorial election and as many believe,
intended TO control the result OF the
election. The State. of New York, with
its five millions of people, has been
deeply wronged and dlsgraced both
by the Republican Senators action in
Washington and by the action Of the
Republican party in power at Albany.
In the one place the Chief Magistrate
of the government for daring TO put
in practice the principles of executive
right and authority in the choice Of
public officer nearly lost his life. This
sad and terrible crime came not alone
through the personal madness of sin.
gle man, but from that personal fanati.
cism which was and is the fruit OF
greed for public office and of false and
dangerous political education. Now, if
ever, is the time TO teach all men that
public Office is the property Of the peo.
pie and that places Of official trust can
only be rightfully distributed to men Of
noble purpose, OF pure lives, Of wise ex-
perience and Of unqualified fitness for
the work to be performed. The Demo.
cratic party of the State desire to in.
culcate and enforce the doctrine with
which the Democratic party came into
existence, as when Mr., Jefferson declar.
ed that the only qualifications for Office
rested upon the wise, safe and patriotic
platform Of personal capability, person.

The whole Senatorial discussion at

First A mistrust OF the people of the

majority in the Legislature.
Second. A quarrel over the spoils oil

factions, with practical contempt for
every principle belonging TO what is

Third. The abuse OF power from IL

VIRGINIA..

RICHMOND, Nov. Q. The returns this fore
noon are of the general tenor as last night,
showing a slight additional gain for Daniels
(dem for governor. but still leaving the
result in doubt. The democrats, however.
claim to have gained five more members of
the legislature and lost one, making a net
gain to this hour, IL. A. NJ, of thirteen,
v hich gives them a majority of three on Joint
ballot. The readjusters are confident that
their State ticket is elected. They estimate
Cameron's majority at Is to 10000. In the
legislature they claim good working major
ity on joint ballot.
Further returns reduce the democratic
gains in the legislature to IL. which leaves
them four short of majority on joint ballot.
Gubernatori Il too inca que TO justify positive
statement as to the election of either Daniels
or Cameron. The readjusters claim their
figures insure the election of Cameron by
II to $4,000 majority. They also claim a
gain of IL members of the Legislature.
The State democratic paper says Cameron
probably be elected by 5000 majority.
Later returns still further reduce the demo-
cratic gains in the legislature, and there is
now no hope Of recovering the lost ground
in the counties to hear from. Pretty full re-
turns from over half of the State, indicate
Cameron elected, and the readjusters have a
good working majority on joint ballot in the
legislature. At the readjusters' headquarters
they claim the election of the State ticket by
not less than 5000, and a majority in the
legislature. They are exceedingly jubiapt
tonight, marching through the streets with
bands Of music and firing cannOns.

MINI ESOTA.

CHICAGO, Nov. Q. A special to the Times
from st. Paul, says that from the best data
attainable, it appears that Hubbard has run
behind his ticket in the northern part of the
State, but made up largely in the southern
part, where Dunnrll's friends rallied to his
support. General Baker. as railroad commits
siOner, falls behind here. Judge Wander
burg has been scratched on account of bar
gain by which he was nominated, and Green
leaf Clark has a large vote. The vote of
the State shows a falling off of 80 per cent,
more largely from the republicans, say two
to three.
In St. Paul. the democratic ticket is doubt
less elected, with the exception of State
Treasurer Rye and Coroner Davenport, who
will probably be returned on their personal
popularity. The returns are to meagre to
estimate on the fate of the constitutional
amendments.
The Tribune's special says good judges
estimate the republican ma ority to be from
10 to 10000, except Vanderburgh and Baker,
who have been elected by reduced majority.
johnson fdem.) for governor, and Clark run
largely ahead of the ticket in st. Panl and
about half Of each county ticket will be
elected, though the democrats claim the entire
ticket. There was light vote in Minneapo
lis but the republican ticket is elected by
a reduced majority. No returns are received
to indicate the result of the vote to set aside
the public lands for payment of railway
bonds. The indications are that the falling
of of the vote from last year is 40 per cent,
of which the republicans lose %. reducing
considerably the republican majority from
last year.

third of the State give Hubbard (rep.) for

citizens extracted five bodies. The life OF
two were extinct. and the others were serl-

ing the debris is being pushed with all speed:
The ground floor was occnpied by Holland

portion bv tenarts. After the debris was
removed. Mary Bold, twenty years old and

The cause of the accident Is not known
The entire fire department has been called
out to explore the ruins.
The building was a three story brick struc-

a liquor saloon on the ground floor. Two
wears ago he put up an extension without

Up to IL O'Clock, five dead bodies were
taken out. They were Mrs. Francis Knapp,

Rudolph. married woman, aged 46, and the
body of little girl, about years of age.
wrapped in blanket, whose name could not
be ascertained.
1t is considered almost certain that other
dead bodies will be found in addition to these
victims. Several occupants of the house
were seriously injured by the falling timbers
and walls. Among those eXtricated with Sc
rious injuries. were Mary Saville, young
woman, and man named Hill. Catherine
Bader also received injuries which it is ex-
pected will prove fatal. John Rudolph and
his four children, and Mary Bold. aged 20,
escaped from the ruins with but slight inju-
res. During the search for the bodies, a
fireman named John Gillespie, fell and broke
his ankle.
The building seems to have fallen without
giving any warning, and it is strange that all
within it were not crushed to death. An
immense crowd has been all day viewing the
scene. The coroner will hold an inquest this
afternoon.
