Delaware gazette and state journal. (Wilmington, Del.) 1883-1902, 1891-11-12

There seems to be no doubt, saws the
New York Times, that Democratic assem-
6iyman has been elected in the Second
district OF Jefferson county, and If no
further changes are made BY the official
canvass the assembly will be Democratic
by two majority. The result in three
senate districts is still in dispute. Mys-
FERROUS movements of Lou Payn and
others IN the Fifteenth district, consisting
OF Duchess, Columbia and Putnam
counties, raise a suspicion that the returns,
which show Deane's reelection, have been
tempered with, as on the night of the
election there appeared to be no
doubt of Osborne's majority, which is
likely to be established by the official
canvass. In the Sixteenth or Rensselaer,
Washington, district the face of the re-
turns seems to indicate the election of
Derby, H., but Senator Collins claims that
there has been fraud, and will contest the
election if the Democrats should control
the senate. The Democrats still claim the
defeat of Donaldson in the Eighteenth
district There seems to be no doubt that
10 Democratic and Ia Republican senators
have been elected, and both parties are
claiming Edwards, who defeated Vcdder
Thirty-second district. It seems probable
that the other two, from the Sixteenth and
Eighteenth districts, will be Republicans
making tie if Osborne's election holds
and Edwards should act witch the Demo-
Gratis.
GOVERNOR HILLS CLAIMS.
ALBANY, Nov. Ex-Governor Hill and the
state department officials agree in claiming
majority in both branches Of the legisa.
ture Governor Hill said to-day.
Il am convinced that we have carried
both bodies The news from the close
districts and the returns thus far published
n and sent indicate that the Republicans are
making strenuous efforts to count us out,
but the official counts will give us ma
jority in both branches. We have literally
swept the state. Mr. Osborne is undoubt-
eddy elected in the Fifteenth senate district
and the Second assembly district of Jeffer-
son county has gone Democratic. | also
believe that Senator Collins has been
elected in the Sixteenth senate district.
BEATEN BY THE SILVER FLANK.
COLUMBUS, ONO, Nov. 6.--lhe shutters
were put up at the Democratic hendquar-
tiers to-day, and Chairman Neal left for
home. In speaking of his defeat Governor
Campbell said
1--WE made the best fight possible. We
had no money to speak of, and could make
no telling fight against the well-equipped
forces of the Republicans. who only had
to say the word and their treasurer's chest
would be reiilled. They. were at no time
pressed for money, while we had to get
along from hand to mouth the best we
could"

campaign ?" the governor was asked.
ut most certainly did," he replied.
while there was no organized opposition
because of it, the very fact that it was
made one of the issues resulted in but
weak support front many business men;
and, further, men who had formerly CON
tributed to our campaign fund, did not
put up dollar to help us out. 1t pre-
vented many low-tarif Republicans from
voting the Democratic state ticket and
held them close to their party allegiance"
Chairman Neal said: Everything was
against us. Our path was obstructed from
start to finish, and we had nothing to
counteract or throw in the pathway OF the
Republicans All there is Of it is we were
overmatched. but did the best we could.n
SpRINaFIELp, LII, Nov. Ex-senator John
NJ. Palmer credits the Democratic defeat in
Ohio largely to the silver plank in the
Democratic platform. 1.-THE Importance
of the silver plank in the state PLATFORM
said the general, "was exaggerated to the
greatest extreme, and all through the cam
paign the tariff issue was lost sight of; at
least, il was n secondary matter There Is
no denying that Senator John Sherman's
reputation as fnancier had a good deal
to do with the result. His campaign on
the money question tended greatly to de-
tract attention from the tariff issue"
Senator Palmer thinks the results in
most of the other states show that Il pro-
tective tariff is not popular, ana he at-
taches much importance to the Democratic
victories in New York, Iowa, Maryland
and Massachusetts.

be u pivotal state in 1892; that New York
will be the key to the situation, and that a

Democratic party for President"
NEW YoRK's TOTAL VOTE.
NEW York, Nov 6.-The election figures
how that the total vote cast this year was
", 463 less than in 1888. Flower received a
ass than Miller. The vote cast in 1855 was
$4,000, which was divided up as follows
Hill, 6193 per cent; Miller, SO. % per cent;
scattering, 1.55 per cent.
The total vote cast this year was 23S, 537,
of which Flower received 81 .0j per cent;
Fassett, 36.20 per cent, and the other two
candidates between them 266 per cent. A
noticeable feature in this city is that the
Democrats have lost most in the districts
which in 1888 gave Hill large plurality.
In districts where Fassett kept close ia
Miller's figures Flower ran far behind the
figures of Hill.
