HOW THEY VIEW IT.


Endorsement of Cleveiand's Administra.
ton the Prevailing Sentiment.
WASHINGTON, D. c., November g.
Yesterday was day of rejoicing In
Washington among Democrats of all
shades of opinions, from the earnest,
steadfast supporters of the Cleveland adj
ministration, to the Democrats who be.
lieve that to the victor belongs the
spoils.'' The friends of the AID.
minfstration insist that the victory
in New York is splendid In
dorsement of President Cleveland's
policy. Judge McCue, of Brooklyn, So
licitor of the Treasury, who returned to
Washington much elated over the VIC
tory in'New York, reflected the feelings
of the Administration men when he re.
d.:
'We owe it to President Cleveland.
1t was because the people had confidence
in him that they voted for Hill. They
knew the President would not have sup
ported Hill if he had not wanted him
elected. They knew he was in earnest
about that. He demonstrated it by
going several hundred miles to vote for
Hill This victory is an Endorsement OF
the administration"
Such and similar expressions are heard
frequently among President Cleveland's
supporters. Second Comptroller May
nard, who returned from New York yes
terday morning, thinks it mistake to
call the result in New York straight
Democratic victory" inasmuch as New
York is such close State that there can
not be straight victory for either
party. There is, he thinks,
nd IF
composed of both parties which
can always decide the result. While
the so-caiIed mugwump papers opposed
Hill. a majority of the Independents and
Republicans who voted for Cleveland
last fall supported Hill, and beside, the
Democrats got the support of the labor
vote.
. Congressman Mitchell, of Connecticut,
expressed the greatest qualification at
the result. He regards it as conclusive
proof that the Democratic party is grow
ing stronger all the while with the
people.
Congressman Frank Hurd says the re-
suit in New York is splendid victory,
but declines to express an opinion as to
whether or not its an Endorsement of the
administration.
Assistant Secretary Fairchild regards ii
as an Endorsement of the administration.
7 he PIesid mt, Secretary Manning, Sec.
rotary Whitney and Governor Hill,
he SAYS, were in perfect accord as to
the Presidents policy concerning ap.
pointmeuts in New York, and any at
tempt to use the victory as an indorse.
ment of any other policy, and to make
the President act differently with regard
to appointments in the future, he thinks,
will fail.
Republicans here, while surprised and
fregretting the defeat in New York, do
not feel discouraged over it.
ELMIRA, N. Y, November Sin his
speech to his fellow-townsmen last
last night, Governor Hill said: sEven
those who differ from me in their views
of National politics will pardon me fol-
speaking briefly at this time few words
of congratulation to the Democratic
party of the State and Nation for the
victory which it has won. That victory
means that the great Empire State OF
New York is Democratic State
under any and all circumstances.
1t means that the Independent
voters of our State are not controlled by
leaders or hypocritical
1t means that these indie
pendent voters have abandoned the party
of hypocrisy and sham, and have effected
a permanent alliance with the Demo-
cratic party in the interest of reform and
good government. 1t means that the
people propose to sustain the hands of a
Democratic President, but not by putting
his opponents in power. Itmeaus that the
people are weary of sectional strife, and
nave not sympathy with a party that
seeks to obtain power by keeping
alive the dying embers of civil war.
1t means that capital and labor shall
receive equal protection under the
workingmen of the State to better
their condition shall be aided by the
necessary legislation. In closing 1 de-
sire once again to thank the people of
Elmira, without distinction of party,
who so frequently honored me in the
past for this renewed evidence of their
confidence and esteem.

Vice -President Hendricks was asked:
''What do you think of the election?"
He replied:
"It is plain, straight Democratic vic
tory"

'sI had not thought about it in thi.
respect" replied Mr.. Hendricks, slowly,
and, after reflection, he said: 81 sup.
pose it may be regarded in that light.
Mr. Cleveland did what he could for the
Democracy there, and was anxious for
their success. It shows that the party
is on its feet, solidlv in line, while the
Independent Republicans, mugwumps, l
believe they are called, seem to be out
of line, out of joint, and out of fix gen.
orally, for they have deserted their own
organization thus early in the admins
tration."

81 am very greatly pleased with Gen.
eral Lees election" was the reply, ''for
a contrary result would have had d very
detrimental effect"
Mr.. Aquilla Jones, Postmaster. sent
the following dispatch to Governor
Hill:

honored me with place in their platform
it seems proper that L should send you my
