SOME OF THE RESULTS.

SOME OF THE RESULTS.
The verdict of the people on President Cleve-
lands Administration and nearly two years of
government by the Democratic party is dis
tinctly unfavOrable. President Cleveland came
in with majority of over forty members of the
House to sustain him, with 43, 600 majority in
his favor in this city, about 1000 in New
Jersey, and with a plurality in Connecticut
After two years, the election OF a Democratic
Mayor in this city is made possible only by the
votes of mistaken Republicans; New-York
State has probably given a plurality of its
votes to the State ticket opposed to the Ma
tOnal Administration; Democratic members
of Congress have been beaten in such number
that it is uncertain whether the Republicans
have not mai orty in the House, the election
of Republican Senators is assured in New 7 Ork
in Connecticut and apparently In New Jersey,
and the large Democratic majority in New
Jersey is SO reduced that it is impossible yet
to say whether that State has not chosen a
Republican Governor. In this region. just
where the Democratic victory in 1884 was
secured, that party has sustained substantial
defeat.
The scanty intelligence from the West is not
more favorable. Remarkable Re publican gains
looked for gain OF Ave Congressman from that
State. Speaker Carlisle is beaten in his own
town by heavy majority, though he retains
his seat. The latest dispatches give hope that
Frank Hurd, the free trader, is again beaten in
Toledo, and if expected gains have been N ade
in other Western States as we'll as in Ohio, the
large Democratic majority in the House is ex-
tinguished, even though the Republicans may

organize thatlB6ay.
In some of the States peculiarly significant
gains and equally significant losses are OBJ
served. New-Jersey answers splendidly to the
brief but earnest appeas of Mr.. Blaine, and to
the faithful work by Senator Sewell, Charm an
Hobart, Congressman Phelps, and the worthy
Republican candidate for Governor, Captain
Howey. If not elected, he has substantially
annihilated the Democratic majority, and the
Republicans gain two il not three members OF
Congress. In Massachusetts,, on the other
hand, such worthy Republican Representative
as Messrs. Ranney and Ely are beaten, though
the election of Mr.. Lodge in the district now
represented by Mr.. Lowering is a Republican
gain. The defeat of Mr.. Buck in the LIST Con-
nectcut District is to be regretted, for he was
capable aud worthy member, but his opponent
succeeded only by regulating and tearing
down the free-trade platform on which his
party had placed him. The abuse of the
tratorous Times failed to defeat Mr.. S. Y.
White in the Brooklyn district, and in him the
Republicans gain an effective debater and
worker. In three interior districts of this
State, the XXlIId. XXlYth, and XXVIllth,
the Republicans gain members OF the House,
and the brilliant campaign of Mr.. Fitch in this
city results in another gain by the defeat of
Mr.. Viele the present representative.
The election of Mr.. Hewitt as Mayor of the
chief Republican city in the country is the work
Of Republican votes. After misgoverning here
so shamefully that mighty revolt of the Dem
Ocralc voters was brought about the Presi-
dents party and his especial friends and adj
visers were forced to make piteOus appeals to
Republican voters in order to defeat MIR.
George. 1t is not to the credit of thousands of
Republicans that they chose to elect the caudi-
date of the Democratic rings, when they
might, as the result now shows, have elected
practical reformer and Republican. But it is
As pecialy humiliating to the Administration
that it was forced to depend upon such voters
to save 1t from the defeat which bad appoint
ments by the President and the exposed cor
ruption of Democratic government IN this city
had richly earned, and even then to escape de-
feat only by the election of one whose infu-
ence, as friend of Governor Hill. will be used
to prevent the Presidents denomination. Had
the 20, 600 or more Republicans who voted for
Mr.. Hewitt chosen to give Mr.. Roosevelt their
support, he would have been first In the race
and Mr.. George would have been last.
