The Doings Of Three Leading Candidates
During an Exciting Period.
BosToN, Nov. 4.-Governor Russell passed
election day very quietly. 1t was very late
before he got to bed on Monday night, and
consequently he did not rise with the sun
reached his voting place, however, by II
o'clock.
1t was most cordial greeting that was
accorded him by the Republicans as we'll
as by Democrats and Independents at the
polling place.
After voting, the governor took long
horseback ride alone up through Belmont,
As the governor never misses a Harvard
football game when tits possible for him
to be present, he made no exception to his
rule and yesterday attended the Harvard
Wesleyan game. He became absorbed in
the play, and evidently forgot that he was
one of the two central figures in the minds
of about 100000 of his fellow-citizens.
About 6 O'Clock in the evening he came
over to Boston and went to the Young
Mems Democratic Club where he ex-
changed greetings with some of the Demo
cratic leaders, after which he dined and
went to the Globe office. Here he remained
all the evening, assisting in footing up the
returns that came pouring in from every
bailiwick in the commonwealth.
He would occasionally make some com
ments on the election, showing that he
well remembered the vote of this or that
town last year, but in general he was un-
concerned and almost Indifferent. He was
certainly quite unmoved by the reports of
iiattering gains, and when it became about
certain that he was reelected he mani
tested no excessive satisfaction. Only a
quiet smile overspread his features when
the doubt was transformed into certainty,
and he received the congratulations of his
friends with becoming modesty.
At IL O'Clock Governor Russell made n
tour OF the editorial and composing depart
ments of the Globe office and was received
with deafening cheers
When IN the composing room balcony
overlooking the typesetters at their work
he was urged to speak. He said:
Before know the result of the election,
gentlemen, | want to thank you for the
part You have Individually taken in my
canvass"
Coy. Russell was given three cheers as
he left.
GOV cAMPBELL's CLOSE SLAVES.
CINCINNATI, o., Nov. 3.-Maior McKin-
ley voted to-day at his home in Canton
and remains there tonight to receive the
returns.
Gov. Campbell left Cincinnati on an
early train for Hamilton, his legal resi-
dence, where he voted a straight Demo-
cratic ticket including himself. He al
ways votes for himself when running
for an office. Experience has taught him
the value of single votes. Up to the time
he was elected governor, the total majori-
ties he had received in all his political
contests did not aggregate 800. He went
to Congress once by two majority. Another
time he was defeated for Congress on the
face Of the returns by 30 odd votes. He
contested and got the seat by bare ma
jority. The other time that he ran for
Congress his majority was only two or
three hundred. When he ran in a sup.
posed-to-be-hopeless fight for the state sen.
ate he was beaten by only u majority.
That was his only defeat at the polls.
The first time he was a candidate for the
nomination for governor he was beaten in
the convention by one-half Of vote, and
when he was nominated the first time he
had barely majority of the convention.
From Hamilton the governor went tc
Columbus, where he spent the day quietly
with his family. Tonight he and mum
Der of friends are at his office receiving
the returns.
