WASHINGTON, November THE result of
to-dsy's elections Is pretty well known to-
night, though there are still some points to
be cleared up by later returns. The out
come is as great surprise as the somer-
sault that Ohio turned. The Republicans
expected defeat Of pretty fair proportions,
but they never dreamed that the land was
to be deluged, as it is, by Demo-
cratic gains, and that Republican
bosses, and Republican leaders not bosses,
were to be strewn along the shore. The
Democrats did not expect what they have
received, but in their joy they are deter
mined to try and hold on to their vantage
this time. 1t is estimated that the House
will be Democratic by at least majority OF
forty. and it may be more. At least three
States Unexpectedly will be found in the
Democratic column.
The effect Of such changes cannot but be
marked here. No Republican of Dromi.
nence is tonight boastful enough to say
that the Republican party will be benefited
by its defeat. They acknowledge that be-
tween attaching the blame upon each other,
the warning factions will become more hos
tile and more widely divided than ever.
This is significant concession,
| but what is still more significant
in to-day's elections is that the Democratic
victory was not due to the splitting into
factions of the Republicans or the preya-
lence Of Independent tickets, but to tie
aoeking OF voters to the Democratic side.
It i conceded BY 81 politicians here that

any marked degree, the overwhelming public
sentiment that the Republican party must
go to the wall. As Ohio showed that the
| next House would be Democratic, so it is
admitted that to-day's elections show that
the next President will be of like faith. In
all of It's significance, the tidal wave Of 1874
cannot be compared with the deluge OF to-
day.
Another thing ia freely spoken OF. Ar
thur is dead politically. He need never
think again Of 1854. One thing most widely
commented on is the absurd attempt of
Arthur's administration and Jay Hubbell's
money TO make those predicted gains of
Congressman in the South. Comment on
this point is punetusted with laugh
ter. Republican leaders speak most
sorrowfully of losing the House that will
have to do with the Presidential count Of
! 1884. The reason Of such sorrow is too
self-evident to be pointed out. 1t looks
| to night as If only one boss was saved in
the general devastation. Senator Anthony
still rules supreme in Little RhodY, but even
he has been shaken somewhat.
NEW YORK, November 7.-There is great
excitement tonight over the election re-
turns which are being reported. In various
psrts Of the city every bulletin has large
crowd in front OF it, which manifest fresh
enthusiasm every time a new dispatch
is posted. The latest returns show
large Democratic gains in all the counties
OF the State. L is estimated at the head
quarters Of the Democratic State Commit
tee here that Clevelsnd's msjoritY will
reach at least 1OO, 900 in the State, and that
the other Democratic eaRdidates will also
receive large msjOrities.
The result seems to have been brought
about largely by disaffection among the
Republicans. In every county snu-mschine
Republicans openly cut Folger and Car
penter or voted for Cleveland. A great
many opposed Folger by not voting at all.
There was every indication of sn effort to
crush the Conkling- Arthur machine by
giving Cleveland an overwhelming majority.
The contest in this city was one OF the
most peculiar that has taken place Tor
years. Few straight tickets have been voted
by the Republicans and some. trading was
done by the Democrats. Very little hard
work was done by the machine Republicans
at the polls. John F. Symtb, the Chairman.
and Stephen B. French, another member of
the Republican Committee, left the head
quarters of the State Committee and went
elsctioneerIng in their own election dis
tricis. For some days they have been COM
pletely disheartened.
The chief struggle In this city was be-
tween John J. O'Brien and Pat keenan, in
the contest for County Clerk. O'Brien is
one of the most Influential OF the minor ma
chine men, and his name was the only one
that made the Republican ticket differ
from that the Citizens. He had men at
slI OF the cAling places 10 the city trading
off the Citlz zsns' ticket In exchange FOR votes
for himself. fhere was so much trading
done with TsmmSny men that at one time
in the afternoon it was thoght that he
might be elected, but tonight it is
reported that he has conceded
Keeuan's election by 20, 600. An unusually
large vote wss polled among the class who
seldom go to the polls. The Citizens ticket
received l6H SuppVte3 Dhb A. WIZ No ~
feated without doubt by from
10000 to $1,000 msjoritY for Edison.
In Brooklyn the Democratic majori-
ties are overwhelming. Members OF
the Young Mems Reform Club in that city
were so bitterly opposed to Folger that they
worked all day In the interest of Cleveland.
The late returns show even greater Demo-
cratic gains.
Tbs Democrats at their headquarters st
Park Avenue Hotel are in a high state OF
excitement. They are jubfant, and the
news Of the Democratic victories in other
States Increases their good humor.
A Rochester special to the Post says:
"The election is proceeding quietly. The
/ German vote, hitherto largely Republican,
| Is being cast almost solfdly for the Demo-
cratic State ticket. The indications favor
/ large Democratic gains IN this city and
/ county,
The msjority for Cleveland in the State is
estimated by the Express at from $1,000 to
JOG, 900.
The Express' bulletin says Edison Is un-
| doubtedly elected Mayor, and estimates his
ms1orfty at $1,000.
