Claims of Washington Republicans.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Republicans g. say they
have elected Davenport in New York. despite
the reported Democratic gains. The Demo
Gratis are figuring Hills majority at 8,OOO but
concede that Carr, the Republican candidate for
Lieutenant-governer, is probably elected. They
are making no boasts over Hill, however, and
acknowledge that things look pretty doubtful
in the Empire State"
With the talk of the probable election of Hill
for Governor, in New York, much comment is
heard, late tonight, among men of prominence
in both parties upon its meaning. Democrats
claim it is an Endorsement Of the administration,
and say they were helped in it by the old dissat-
isied elements in the Republican party. 1t
transpires that most powerful effort has been
made by the President and his Cabinet to
carry New York in order to save the reputation
of the administration. Secretaries Whitney and
Manning, and many of their official associates,
including Treasurer Jordan, made very large
contributions to the campaign fund a few days
ago, and appealed in strong terms, upon personal
as we'll as party grounds, that Hill should be
saved for the sake of the administration Friends
of the administration frankly say that if Hill is
elected, it is by majority so small that it
cannot be considered compliment to his party
or the President

ly: 1.-THE foolish pretense of the muswump
gans that the success of the Democrats in this
election would be inimical to Mr.. Cleveland
was spurned by the Democratic voters of
the State. They were too sensible to
be deceived by such nonsense.
They voted as the President himself voted-for
the who will hold up Mr.. Cleveland's hands
in his own State, and strengthen the influence
of his administration. This election
again proves that the stalwarts have long mem
cries and sharp blades, which they do not hesi-
tate to use upon an enemy when
they meet him. They had their reckon
ing with Mr.. Davenport yesterday.
and the iceberg melted before their
burning wrath. There was one interesting
fact revealed by the returns. While New York
city gave Governor Hill plurality considerably
in excess of that of Mr. Cleveland, last year,
and while Brooklyn gave plurality far smaller
than it gave Cleveland, the country districts
throughout the State showed large gains for the
Democrats"

Defeated, but Not Routed.

New YORK, Nov. An an editorial headed
Tribune says: "The Democrats retain New
York. Governor Hill has been elected by fig
so handsome to make the beggarly
plurality which the State gave President Cleve
land almost invisible. The return of voters
whom Mr.. Blaine's candidacy alienated, did not
make good to the Republican party the loss,
this year, of voters whom the candidacy at
tracted. In fact, the gain does not seem to have
equaled one-thrd or one-fourth the loss
The stay home voters decided the
matter; the vote was light but the Republicans
who did not take the trouble to vote, outnum-
Der the Democrats. A very much smaller
vote than was cast for Mr.. Blaine would have
sufficed to bury Mr.. Hill, but the Republicans
But the Republican phalanx is neither routed
nor broken. AS the significant gain in Oneida
shows, it is more heartily united than it has
been at any other time for many
years, and, though beaten on the State
ticket, it holds both branches of
the State Legislature by strong maiorities
The severe storm in the interior which made
the vote lighter, did not cost the Republicans
any seats in the Legislature. The plain truth
seems to be that the Republican voters did not
expect to succeed this year against the concen-
tration of power by the administration to save
itself, and therefore did not make the efforts
necessary to success"
