That victory means that the great EN-
pire state of New York is Demo
cratic state under any and all circu!n-
stances. 1t means that the independent
voters of our state are not controlled by
self appointed leaders or hypocrtical news
papers. 1t means that these independent
voters have abandoned the prrty OF hypoc-
risy and sham and have effected perma-
nent alliance with the Democratic party in
the interest of reform and good gov
ernment. 1t means that the people
pl oppose to sustain the bonds OF DEM
ocratic president, but not by putting his
opponent in power. 1t means that the peo-
pie are weary of sectional strife and have
no sympathy with party that
neeks to obtain power by try
ing to obtain power by keeping
alive the dying embers of civil war. 1t
means that capital and labor shall receive
equal protection under the law and that the
efforts of the workingmen OF the state to
better their condition shall be aided
by necessary legislation. In closlng,l desire
once again to thank the people OF Elmlra,
without distinction of party, who have so
frequently honored me in the past, for this
renewed evidence OF their confidence and
esteem.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-This was day
of rejoicing in Washington among the DEM
| ocrats of all shades Of opinion, from the
earnest, steadfast supporters of the Cleve-
land administration to the Democrats who
believe that: ITO the victors belong the
spoils." The friends of the administration
insist that the victory in New York is a
splendid Endorsement of President Cleve-
lands policy. Judge McCue of Brooklyn,
solicitor of the treasury, who returned to
Washington much elated over the victory
in New York, reflected the feelings of the
administration there when he remarked to-
day:
We owe it to President Cleveland. 1t was
because the people had confidence in him that
they voted for Hill. They know the president
would not have supported Hill if he had not
wanted him elected. He demonstrated it by
going several hundred miles to vote for him.
This victory is an Endorsement Of the admin
istration.
Such and similar expressions are heard
frequently among President Cleveland's
supporters. Second Controller Maynard.
who returned from New York state this
morning. thinks it mistake to call the
result in New York "a straight Dem
ocratic victory" inasmuch as New Y York
is such close state that there cannot be a
straight victory for either party. There is,
he thinks, an Independent vote of about
rs, 600, composed of both parties, which
can decide the result. While the so-called
Mugwump papers opposed Hill, the major
ity of Independents and Republicans, who
voted for Cleveland last year, supported
Hill Yesterday, and besides the Democrats
got the support of the labor vote. Con-
gresham Mitchell of Connecticut expressed
the greatest qualification at the result. Ee
regards it as conclusive proof that the
Democratic party is growing stronger all
the while with the people. Congressman
Frank Hurd says the result in New
York is a splendid victory, but
declines to express an opinion
as to whether or not it was an Endorsement
of the administration. Assistant Secretary
Fairchid regards it as an Endorsement of
the administration. The president, Secre-
tary Manning, Secretary Whitney and Gov.
Hill, he says, were in perfect accord, as the
presidents policy concerning appointments
in New York and an attempt to use the
victory as an Endorsement of any other pol
icy and to make the president act differ
emily with regard to appointments in fu-
ture, he thinks, will fail. Republicans here,
while surprised a.. fagrettng defeat in
New York, do not feel discouraged over it.
