Long before darkness set in Tuesday
evening largo crowds gathered in front OF
tho various newspaper Offices in Philadel.
pIia, drawn thither by a desire to obtain
tho earliest returns Of the result of the
election as they appeared on the bulletin.
Chestnut street, from Sixth to Tenth, was
ono mass of struggling. yelling humanity,
that Ion. bcfOro II o'clock had yelled
themselves hoarsc. AS the returns indi-
Gated tho victory Of Pattison beyond all
doubt tho crowds grew frantic, and the
old regulation Democratic yell that has
not been EcaId for years was voiced
again and again witt: u vigor and vim
and royal tiger. Tho Beaver element was
cut in full force, too, anil took the
dc(cat o! their champion in Il jolly, good
hum"rcd style, cheering, too, ut the down
fall of tho bosses and Camcionism. The
Democratic clubs Of the various wards, as
soon as tho news Of 4 Democratic victory
became authenticated, turned out in large
numbers, with bands playing and
illuminated transparencies Of the
most iudicrous character. The Twenty
seventh ward club carried trans.
parency bearing tic inscription On
one side !: "The almshouse division goes
Democratic. Garry tho news to Major
Phipps," while the other read : 1Carry
next governor" Thc twenty-ninth ward

enthusiasm of the Democrats at this dis
play was simply overwhelming. Unused
to victory. they did not spare their throats
and their vel! of triumph was ono
unbroien yell Of :: quarter of an hours
length, unvaryinS i'll strength and key.
By o'clock the streets rcsOunGcd to the
tramp of many feet, while the night was
made hideOus By the music Of innumer-
able brass bands, joy reigncd in tho Dem

delight were made manifest on every side

Republicans gathered and discussed the
situation, but consoled themselves with
the thought that their defeat meant death
to tho bosses. The death of the bosses

Independent Opinions.
At the Independent headquarters there
was but little excitement. and at no time
were there more than half dozen persons
present. \ private wiro brought few
kilograms from Independents through the
state, but tho returns were 50 unsatis-
factory that soon after II o'clock the
headquarters were closed, and those
present sought fuller information at
Other places. Some disappointment was
felt that Stewards vote was not larger,
but consolation was found in tie un-
doubted defeat of Beaver, and so many of
Cameron's candidates. That the vote, as
returned, did not show the full strength
of tho Independent movement, was gen
orally believed, and it was thought that no
small part of it haG gone to Pattison.
"They were bound to beat Beaver,' said
Chairman Mckee, land made tho thing
sure by voting for Pattison."
"Yes it means q new party, undoubt-
edly,' chimed in Wharton Barker, who
dropped into the headquarters after an
evening at the theatre. "The time has
come when the best men Of each party
should combine, and think that this
makes very good beginning. 1t means
the death OF Cameron"
"The returns seem to show that Stew
art has about 10 per cent Of the total
VOTE" was Candidate Junkin's couse1va-
tive and judicial expression rs he looked
over the returns and saw his chances o.

Controller P:,tt;Son left his homa in |
West Philadelphia yesterday morning ut |
the usual hour, and was in his office dur |
ing business hours. Very few persons |
called on him to talk politics. and with |
tho exception Of the conside. alton OF the |
warrants for the municipal expenses in |
the Bi-Ccnscnnial celebration, very little |
public business was brought before the |
controller. Tho Democratic candidate for !

At Harrisburg largo crowd of Demo
Gratis proceeded to tho executive mansion
at midnight, headed by :: band. and
awakened Governor Hoyt from bed. IIc
inquired what tho commotion meant and.
being informed that Robert f. Pattison
had been elected, he congratulated them
and said they were but exercising free
mems rights. He further remarked that
if he had the money which he was alleged
to have taken from tho state treasury he
he would be glad to distribute it among
the crowd. With the remark that no
would invite all before him to tho cxccu-
tive mansion if it were large enough. tho
governor retired amid applause.
