Imbilant Republicans Celebrating,

WORCESTER, Nov. Ga salute of 100 guns
was fred by the Republicans between 10 and
IL tonight.
brilliant Reception to Gov. Elect Robin
SPRINGFIELD, Nov. ga reception to Mr..
Robinson at Springfield City Hall was an un-
precedented ovation for this locality. He spoke
less than 10 minutes, saying that this contest
ends not in the triumph of one man but the
people and that new party has been created
to-day-the party of the Commonwealth. Our
cause was a just one and under the circum-
stances triumph was inevitable Our opPo-
nents must feel a satisfaction in being re-
deemed Of the irregularities OF the present ad-
minisiratioD which they cannot excuse. We
have made a beginning today and in the future
we can go forwsrd hopefully in the endeavor
to serve the whole people.
Comments of the Press.
Boston, Nov. The Journal says edi-
torially:
"What the Appomattox was to the Confed-
eracy the election yesterday was to Butler and
Butlerism. Both man and thing have been
annihilated. They will never know resurrec-
hon For such result decent people not only
of Massachusetts but of both parties through
out the country should be profoundly thankful,
because the one man in this country who could
rally about him the ignorant and vicious ele-
ments has been cast down for the last time.
AS for the decent and intelligent people of
Massachusetts, they have reason to exult in
the fact that the traducer of this noble Com
monwealth has been rebuked silenced and
overthrown. Massachusetts people can again
go abroad and declare in the words of Webster,
Massachusetts, there she stands behold her!'
In the overthrow of this man Massachusetts
has silenced those who have Knocked at her in
the hour of her humiliation"
The Herald says:-This finishes Butler.
Massachusetts has spoken in earnest and with
full voice, "Neyer more be officer of mine"
After reviewing Buffers term in Office and
characteristics of his administration, it says:
1t is true that he has not been able to perman-
emily iDjure Massachusetts, for his power is
limited and its institutions are strong. The
disgrace was in electing him. The State will
survive and look back with shame on this wild
Butler frolic when Butler is dust. The Dem
ocrats OF Massachusetts will rue the day when,
in defence of principle and honor and for
hope of spoils, they allowed such demagogue
to capture their party. The great victory
achieved is not victory for party, but for
all citizens who love the State and approve of
decency in office.
The Globe says:-The size of the vote yester-
day surprised both sides, running as it did
about 10000 higher than the total of the high
est ever before known-that of 282, ,249, in
presidential election. 1t lis useless to rehearse
the reason for the defeat since the chief one
was a lack of votes. Hard work of Repubfi-
cans and their liberal expenditures of money
brought out this vote, and gave them their
plurality. Results show that the Democratic
party has grown of late years very rapidly, and

Teemer Challenges HanIan TO Race.

Teemer Challenges Hanlan 10 n Race.
CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-John Teemer today de-
posted $500 with sporting Journal here, as
forfeit for three mile and turn race with the
champion Edward Hanlan, for So, 200 side,
the race TO occur at any point mutually aer eed
upon. Teemer expresses willingness to row
this season or early next year.
Boston, Nov. 6.-Hanlan thinks the chal-
lenge from Teemer to row for So, 900, is decid-
edly unfair, as he says Teemer knew three
weeks ago that he intended to sail for Austria
liza shortly. Hanlan will not row the McKees-
port sculler this year because race would up
set all his plans, but he will make match to
to row Teemer for $4,000 next August,
the distance to be three miles and the course
to be mutually acceptable. He will make
deposit of $500 or 81 ,0o0 or more, if necessary,
to bind the match.
Hanlan i'm Boston.
Boston, Nov. 6.-Hanlan is in the city and
he will remain until Thursday. He says he
has received such liberal offers from San Fran
cisco and Australia that he could not resist the
temptation. Mr.. John @. Shelley, chairman
of the regatta committee of the Pacific Row.
ing Association, had invited him to San Fran
cisco, and exhibition races in California and
British Columbia will be had before the cham
pion starts for Australia. He will row at such
of the principal cities of the colonies as offer
good water courses for racing, and would go as
far South as Adelaide. He was not anxious to
make match races with any of the Australian
Scullers, as ne would NOT De accllmated Snth-
GENTLY 10 do himself justice. What he want
ed was to have those who desired to see him
row offer purses liberal enough for tirst-cass
men to compete for, and then let all who de-
sired participates: that is, all whose claims to
first rank ia the aquatic world deserve to be
considered. OF course, if any of the Australi-
ans challenge him to row for the champion
ship he will be compelled to defend the title,
but it is his right and privilege to name the
place of racing, and he preferred, of course, to
row nearer home than Australia, and in cli-
mate as much like that of Canada as possible
His opponent in San Francisco will be Steven
son, the local sculler.
