TALK AT WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, November 6th.-When an
Associated Press reporter this evening
asked First Assistant Postmaster General
C'arkson for his views concerning yester-
days election, that gentleman said:
The invariable results the year follow
ing Presidential election have repeated
themselves. There are many surprises in
the Republican States, but they come from
local causes in every State except Virginia,
and there the result was gained BY the
usual methods of fraud, suppression and
false countipg.s The Democratic State Elec-
ton Board, which was elected by Demo-
cratic Legislature, appoints all the judges
of election, and the law clothes these
election judges with Police Court pow
ers, and they can order any voter
they please to jail for the day and reign
absolute in arbitrary power. The Repub-
licans OF Virginia did not have the selection
of single Judge of election in the whole
State. The negro is disfranchised. Gen
erai Malone and the Republicans made
gallant fight, but nothing can go against
complete and skillful system of fraud. The
attempt to couplethe National Administra-
ton conspicuously with the defeat is unde-
served, as the President simply showed the
same friendly interest in Malone he did in
Republican candidates in ether States
1.-THE causes operating in Ohio and Iowa
were largely the same, evidently, and were
mainly the reaction against radical tenn
perance and Sunday legislation. The Sun
day law snd the enforcement of it changes
Hamilton county and its Germans against
the Republican psrty.
"In Iowa and Maine the cause of the
change is due to Prohibition. The State
has been very close on State issues ever
since Prohibition was made the law.
THE counties bordering on the Mississippi
river having large cities, such as Du-
buque and Burlington, all of them with
European or foreign born populations
holding a majority of votes, are intensely
anti Prohibition, and they voted over
whelmingly against the Republican party,
because il stood in that State for the law
and its enforcement. There was also some
Republican dissatisfaction and alienation,
ON account of the present Governors ex
treme views on the railroad question and
bis irritating enforcement of the railroad
laws.
But Iowa has been gradually losing its
Republican majority for years over 10000
hepuOucdHS leaving lne otdte anu RolHS
into the Dskotas, Kansas and the south
western country, while later immigration
to the State has been largely Democratic.
This years results are in main simply
increased evidence of the indisposition of
a majority of the American people to ac-
cept prohibition end too radical legislation
on questions that are moral and social,
rather than political"
WASHINGTON, November 6th.-First As
sistant Postmaster General Clarkson re-
ceived telegram this evening from his
home in Iowa stating that the contest over
the legislative ticket is very close, and the
result is in doubt
WASHINGTON, November 6th.-Private
Secretary Halford said tonight that the
President had not made any statement of
his views with regard to yesterdays cleo
ton, ard that any statement on the subject
purporting to be an expression of the Pres
ident's opinions were unauthorized and
wholly without foundation.
