NEW YORK ALL RIGHT.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-In last Tues.
days election the Democrats wept the
State, their majority being between
forty and fifty thousand.
EX-Prcsident Grover Cleveland gave
his opinion of the results Of Tuesdays
election rs follows: "Of course every
one has the right to put his own con-
Struction upon the results, and | am
not anxious to obtrude my ipdeas, but
1t seems to me some things ought to be
no longer doubtful. Anyone who still
thinks that tariff reform Is settled
and obsolete issue, or that the impor-
tance OF sound and safe money is a
question upon which the people can be
blinded, is either wllfully wrong or
dangerously dull. 1t seems to me, too,
that a Staunch adherence to the prlnci-
pies of their party does not require the
abuse Of those who show an inclination
to help us. very much regret the de-
feat of Governor Campbell. lie has
been q brave and honest official. This
and the splendid canvass he made en-
tilted Ii i'm to success. While the cleo
ton Of Flower, Russell and BoieS ought
TO cause the utmost rejoicing among
Democrats, they should not forget that
with these things comes the obligation
TO he true to the party, honest in the
advocacy Of our principles, and decent
in all things.
WATEETOwN, y. V, Nov. 4.-GoV-
erllOr elect Flower returned this eve
nlng from New y Ork, and was received
by thousands Of citizens who rendered
him grand ovation. n carriage
drawn by sin white H. rses was in wait
ing, which tho Governor elect entered.
a parade was then formed, and Mr..
Flower was then escorted to his home,
where Mayor Porter made a few re-
marks Of welcome, Mr.. Flower respond
ing in feeling manner.
THE PROTECTIONlSTS CAPTURE OHIO.
COLuMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 1.-The Re-
publlcanS carried this State in Tues-
days election by a majority of twenty
thousand, elccting all Of their State
officers and capturing both branches of
tn" Legislature.
The feature Of the result is the COM
plcte drop Of the Peoples party. Their
vote in the State will not exceed IL 500,
and they claimed before the election
at least 1900. They probably will lose
1000 votes from last year, falling prob
| ably 5000. This loss is traced to the
| itcpuDtiCan Counties and partially ac-
! c0HntS FOR their gains in strength.
Governor Campbell takes the situa
tion philOSoDhically and says that the
Democratic party was laboring under
too great handicap in Ohio because OF
the lack of funds to pay the legitimate
expenses of the campaign. lie says
they have made the best fight they coulc
III the face Of the Republican majorit ty
Of / 900 to start on and the combined
! opposition OF the manufacturers and
capitalists. Besides all this 1t was a
life and death struggle with the Re
publican party. TO defeat Mckinley,
one of its national leaders and the rep
resentative of its chosen idea Of pro-
lection, meant the downfall and disin-
tcgratlon Of the party itself. Party
lines were closely drawn.
