THE PRESS ON THE RESULT,
The Defeat of Parnell at Sligo u victory
For Home Rule

For Home Rule.
LONDON, April 4. -[Speciall- 1.-The
Daily News this morning, commenting
on the result of the election at Sligo
yesterday, says: Parnell has now
twice tested the Irish opinion, and both
times he has been badly beaten. In his
own constituency he has refused to fight.
We cannot suppose that Irishmen who
really love their country will continue
to follow tho dethroncd dictator who
uses his remaining power to weaken the
country in the face of the enemy. The
result at Sligo is great victory for
homo rule. The Parnellitcs were guilty
of the grossest violence and intimida-
ton. Moreover they had, as is now
generally admitted, tho support of the
Conservatives.
DUBLIN, April A. Special THE Ma
tlonal Press, tho organ of tho McCar-
thyites, says: Despite the fact that
nearly 1000 or more supported the can
dates of tho Parnellites, and that votes
OF almost as many members of the ma
tlonal federation party were distracted,
and In face of the grossest bribery and
intimidation, Sligo has struck O smash
ing blow for the national cause. In
spite of bullyings, bludgonings AID mob
law personally organized by Parnell,
the nationalists have won the most re-
markable triumph ever achieved for
home rule.

THE EVENING SESSION.
The Engineers Perfect Their Organization
and Adjourn.


If birth is a guide to record, the Asso-
citation of Engineers OF Virginia it
will DO thoroughbred success. There
was talent enough present in the rooms
of the Real Estate Exchange last night
to tunnel to China, bridge tho Atlantic,
and build railroad to the moon.
Professor r. A. MARI, of Lexington,
occupied tho chair as temporary chair
man. What he lacked in knowledge of
the intricacies of parliamentary law he
made up in horse sense, and business
moved along like twin propeller.
The report of the committee on con-
stitution and. bylaws was presented by
sections, read, amended and approved.
SO thoroughly was the work done that
hardly three amendments, and those
verbal, were adopted. The constitu-
ton and bylaws are printed elsewhere.
Then the meeting adopted the con-
stitution and bylaws as a whole and
proceeded to the election of officers.
The committee on organization had la
bored assiduously all the afternoon,
while the rest of the visitors were tax
ing in the city, and they had long
list of names posted on blackboard at
tho rear Of the hall whercfrom the
officers might be selected. Several
names were added Then the balloting
began for president. Captain j. III. Win
gate tried to withdraw, but he was
severely sat upon.
Capt. j. II. Wingate was elected by
vote of 40 to 12 for W. w. Coo His cleo
ton was the signal for an outburst Of
applause. The two vico-presidents, sec
rotary and treasurer, were elected by
the chairman, who, acting under in
structions from the floor, cast unanim-
Gus ballot for them. They were
First vice-president, Prof. w. E. An
dcrson, of Blacllsburg.
Second vice president, C. R. Doyd. of
Wytheville.

These gentlemen are too eminent in
their profession and too we'll known to
need any introduction in Southwest

number of ballots taking time. Finally

Come in Slowly.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 3.-The first re-
turn to the board Of electors tonight
was received after o'clock, and at 0
o'clock only eight returns were in. The
last year nearly all the returns were in
at 10 o'clock. These returns showed
that, in the precincts heard from in
Cincinnati. CampbellS vote fell short
of the light Democratic vote last fall.
They also showed that the vote was
less than 90 per recent Of the registration,
which is a short falling off from the
usual percentages.
Great crowds pack the streets aid
shout as the returns from New York
and Massachusetts are displayed. The
streets are vocal with tin horns in the
mouths of boys, and vendors of this in
strument are doing thriving business.
The vote on the Veteran Republican
ticket is indicated by these few returns
will be Unexpectedly large in this cOun-
ty. This may so divide the Republican
vote as to elect Democratic county
officers, who. as a rule, seem to
be polling the full strength
of their party. The bar ticket
court, of which there are five, seems
from these returns to-have been very
popular. All indications are that the
vote will be very late coming in. The
election to-day was one of the most
quiet. orderly. 0uSineSS-like and salts
factory ever held in Cincinnati since
the good old times when everybody
knew everybody else. and all were hon
est. The new election law, based on
the Australian system, was tried for the
first time. The city has tor several
years enjoyed the beneficial effects of a
registration law administered by an
honest and efficient nOn-partisan
board of elections. The present law is
a fine supplement TO that, and they both
Danish the evils that actually attached
to the ord system, or at least were al
ways thought to attach to it. The pres
ent law appears TO give a perfect regis
try and declaration of the peoples will.
Here and there were cases where the
new method caused delays that cut Off
the elective franchise of some voter
who could not control his time, or who
became impatient at the restraint of the
law.
In Cincinnati the polls closed at p.
m. In the other parts of the state the
close was at o'clock. From all points
Reports are coming in to the board of
elections of errors in voting the Au-
Stralian ballot. They are not very num-
erOus however. Some errors consist in
marking the head candidate ON the
ticket and no others. Such
votes count for the governor
only, when the evident intention
of the voter was to vote the
whole ticket which he should have done
by marking in front of the title of the
ticket. Other errors are made by mark
ing after instead of before the name of
the candidate. Private dispatches from
Hamilton, Campbelfs home, say Initiated
tickets are numerous there.
There were five tickets in Hamilton
county, the Republican. the Democratic,
the Prohibition, the Peoples and the
Veteran Republican. This last named
existed only In Hamilton county. The
other four tickets were voted fer all
over tie state. The Hamilton county
Veteran Republican ticket was the
same as the regular Republican

ticket for all state officers, while for
county officers it had a separate ticket
of its own. In addition to these there
was a sixth ticket IN Hamilton county.
namely the bar county ticket for Judges
of the court of common pleas, consist
ing of two Republicans and two Demo-
Gratis. This bar ticket was adopted by
the Peoples party. 1t consisted of two
regular Democratic nominees, two reg
ular Republicans, and one Republican
not nominated by the party convention.
The composition of the last general
assembly was: Senate, Republicans,
Il; Democrats, 10. House, Republicans,
81; Democrats, 90. Joint ballot, Repub-
licans, II; Democrats, 70. Tine number
of members of the general assembly in
this state varies from year to year.
AT 2:l5 a. m, the force engaged in the
collection OF election returns from Ohio
closed with this showing from 692 pre-
cincts. outside of Cincinnati: Mckinley,
111,0l1; Campbell. 9S, 27O; Ashenhurst.4,-
645, Seitz 4,402. Last year the same pre-
cincts gave Ryan 103, 255, Crowley 95,-
051. Lockwood 6,01S, Curtis $50. This
shows net Republican gain of 4,537,
which still indicates plurality of up
wards of $1,000

VOTING WAS HEAVY.
Pointers From Cleveland on Bal.
lot Results

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 3.-This has
been an ideal election day. The
weather was cool and crisp and not
drop of rain fell. The Australian sys-
tenn of voting seemed to give very gen,
eral satisfaction. The newspapers and
party workers have devoted weeks to
the instruction Of voters, and the new
ballots were voted without much diff
Guilty. The estimate made by the board
OF elections that an average of but one
voter minute could deposit his ballot
had the effect of sending the voters to
the polls early in the morning, and in
many of the precincts more than half
the vote was cast by 10 o'clock this FORE
noon.
The indications are that the vote was
very heavy. The new law is very strict
as TO the counting of the ballots, prOvid-
ing that each shall be read and counted
separately. This will make the returns
very late. and 1t is doubtful if anything
satisfactory is known much before
morning. 1t Is one of the quietest cleo
lions known here in years. Lettering
or interference with voters is not al
lowed within one hundred feet of the
polling places, and there was none of
the confusion witnessed under the old
law. No disturbances OF any kind are
reported.
The first three northern Ohio precincts
show net Republican gain of 20. The
few scattering returns received from
the western reserve in this city Indicate
that Mckinley's gain will be heavy.
DenniSon goes Republican by 81, a gain
of 63. 1t is the second time that town
has ever given Republican plurality.
The indications are that the Republic
ans gain representatives in the counties
of Hancock, Paulding and Hardin, all of
which acknowledgements two years ago.
Oberlln gives Mckinley $40 plurality,
net Republican gain 20. Bellevue shows
net Republican gain of 81, Hudson
net Republican gain of Ill. Four pre-
clncts of Marion county show net Re-
publican gain of 81. Thirty-seven out
of III precincts in Cuyahoga county
give Campbell 4,764,. Mckinley 4.172.
These are mostly Democratic precincts.
Niles, McKinley'S birthplace. gives the
Republican ticket gain of 200.
Eight precincts in Harding county,
ordinarily Democratic, show Repub-
llcan gain of 1S2, with probabilities that
the Republicans will carry the county
by 200. This is where the Joint debate
was held. indications are that MeKin-
ley has also cut down the Democratic
plurality in Montgomery county from
LOO to 500.
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1891-11-04

Clinton, Essex, Montgomery and Wyo
ming counties he was far behind the
vote for Miller. Flowers gains on a
decreased vote we're ahead of Hills.
Watertown'S four wards show gain of
800 for Flower. The vote in this city to-
day was very light. 1t had been ex-
pected that out of the registration of
2G1. 532 at least 100000 ballots would be
polled. But only about 100000 persons
voted. In the Hlll-Miller campaign
more than 2Gl, 900 votes were cast. Com
paratively, Flower ran as well as Gov.
Hill, whose plurality was $4,000. and he
was elected by $4,000. Flower will take
TO the Harlem river $1,000 plurality.
1t is doubtful if FaSsett will bring down
$4,000 to meet it. The Democrats are
gaining assemblymen in the state.
Sheehan is not doing as we'll as Flower.
but his election is assured. At 10 O'Clock
Gov. Hill sent telegram to Police
Commissioner Martin, claiming the state
for Flower by 10000 plurality. Mr..
Flowers own estimate of his majority
in the state is $4,000. Never in the his
tory of the state did an election day
dawn fairer.
1t Was Cool and Crisp
In the early hours. In this respect,
however. it was thought the genial
skies would favor the Republicans,
especially in the country districts,
where many voters stay at home when
the weather and the roads are bad.
The weather throughout the state was
pleasant, and a big vote was brought
cut in every city and election district.
The first dispatches told that Mr.. Fas-
sett had been cut severely in Rensse-
laer county. and that he had gained
astonishingly in Monroe. The smaller
towns seemed to give him q de-
creased vote from that obtained by
Miller in 1888, while Flower seemed TO
approach very nearly the vote given to
David B. Hill. The battle at the polls
began at G O'Clock this morning and did
not cease until the stroke of this after
noon. 1t was fierce in this city from
start to finish. The voting in the up
town precincts opened at an unprece-
dented rate. Not for years have men
been heard to talk so freely about their
own votes or have the great body of
voters displayed SO much Of personal
feeling. Up to o'clock p. IN. the ques-
ton of the successful candidate
for governor was in doubt.
In New York city Flower had
