NEW YORK.

That the Democrats would carry New
York was not unexpected The Republican
candidate for Governor, Mr. Fsssett, was an
unusually strong one, both in character and
personal popularity. The issue ofthe plat
forms was the tariff, as both parties were as
one on the silver question. The issues OF
the stump were, on the Republican side, the
corrupt methods and administration Of TAM
many. and on the Democratic side the loss
of the Worlds Fair, which was attributed to
the influence of the Republican leader Mr..
Platt. Flowers msjority over Fassett is
5000.
The State Senate will stand II Republican:
to Is Democrats. The Assembly viii proba'
bly, stand 63 Republicans to 81 Democrats
although in one case it will take the offeia
count to decide, as the returns as now mad
up show a majority of only one for th'
! Democrats.

THE Republican voters of this judicial !

unon the election of Hon. Jacob Il. Long
enecker to preside over their courts for the
next ten wears. He is q lawyer Of abil-
;,v gentleman of spotless character,
and Is possessed Of all the qualities which
should make a fair, impartial, digniied
and conscientious judge. He will prove

Republican voters Of the district, espeei-
/ alv those Of Somerset county, in quickly
4 lavine aside all animosities and i'll feel
inc that had been foolishly engendered
bv the long protracted conference, and
rallying TO the support Of the nominee,
was most commendable. The contest
was one Of the most extraordinary ones
/ that ever occurred in politics. With a
normal majority of 5000 the Repubh-
cans. with two candidates in the field,
we're staring certain discontinue IN the
face I'D 70 within few hours Of the open
inc Of the polls. But the few remaining
hours were aIl-sufficient for the sturdy
yeomanry of the two counties to snatch
= a most brilliant victory from the very
{ laws Of defeat. When the polls closed
Tuesday evening the well-marshaled
well-organized and well-paid forces o
= the enemy had been disgracefnlly put t.
E rout. and victory was inscribed upon thu
banners of those who but few hours be

cause to regret their heroic and unselns

The result Of the election in Pennsyi-
vania is peculiarly gratifying to Republi-
cans. the msjority given the candidates
on the State ticket being far in excess oil
the estimates Of the leaders. The des-
perate attempts Of the Democrats to
manufacture political capital out OF
Bardsley's crimes failed utterly The
keystone State rolls up 3 magnificent
majority for her soldier candidates and
resfIirms her confidence in the Republi'
can party. Flushed with the hope o.
national spoils to come, the Depocrai'
strained every nerve, exhausted every
resource, played every imaginable tnck
and in the desperate game Of expedienc.
they sacrificed every principle they ha'
eyer professed, but the answer Of IN
people is 8 Republican majority aF
proaching 60,O00. The meaning OF thl
superb vote is that Pennsylvania WI

The greatest political surprise Westmore-

change taken in the election returns We'd
nesday morning. The night before every
thing pointed to Democratic victory aud at
an early hour yesterday morning the Demo
crsts, confident of success were celebrating
in their usual hilarious style, but when the
country districts began TO come in the ma
jorities that were claimed steadily fell OF,
and at noon it was clear that the entire Re
publican ticket was elected. Robert A Hope
Republican for Prothonotary, with two or
three small districts to hear from, has a ma
jority of 100. Sweeney, Republican, for
Clerk ofcourts, has majority ever James
d. Best of 200, and NcGurdy for District At
,orney leads Gregg by 300. The Republican
candidates for Poor Directors have msjorities
ranging from 200 to 800. Gregg and Morri-
son carry the county by 900 The Repubii-
cans, who, late the night hefcFe, had given
up to defeat, celebrated their victory in royal
style. The aag on the bHilding Of the Dem

irreyocably for the great American system
under which we have enjoyed unexampled
prosperity, under which labor and skill and
genius are better rewarded than on any
other quarter of ;he globe, and under which
we have achieved first rank over all nations
in manufacturing, mining and agriculture
Ohio has determined that her labor and in
dustries shall be protected against ruinous
competition from the outside world; that
she wants no clipped or corrupt dollar
with which to measure exchange with her
people, their products and labor. Having
won the victory upon these questions let us
use it fairly and justly and honorably, that
we may deserve continued con fdenoe Of the

Nearly 10000 Republican Majority
IN Pennsylvania.
MKINLEY ELECTED IN OHIO.
The Democrats Carry New YOrk.-ke'
suit in the States.

Az the revised returns from the various
Of the State come in the Republican
pluralitv increases, and it is now aimost as
large as the phenomenal plurality OF Mr..
Power in 1889. All the returns are not Oh
ficial. but they are very nearly accurate
and show that General Gregg's plurality ior
Auditor General is 57,4S4, and Captain Nor
rison's. for State Treasurer, is 81. 4sS. Inese
figures may be changed By the Official count
b1t there is no likelihood that they will be
radnoed. Every return shows an increase
for the Republicans, and the enormous
plurality is more likely to grow than TO
shrink. The Constitutional Convention IS
completely showed under, and the people oil
the state have said in very emphatic terms
that they want no tinkesing with the con-
stitution. =,
The vote in the farming sections is not all
mn TO the calculations Of the Democratic
campaign managers, and the loss sustained
bv the detection is found in the size OF the
majority given to Gregg and Morrison.

ONO Is redeemed. Major McAiniey's
magnificent campaign is crowned with
victory. The patriotic Buckeye State has
spoken in no uncertain terms. She has
pronounced for protection, honest money
and the gallant statesman who has waged
within her borders q canvass that has
seldom been elualed and never surpass-
ed in the history Of American politics.
The whole Republican party was vitality
interested in the Ohio contest. The Is
sues on which it was fought were nation
al. The leaders were men Of national
reputation. Msior Mckinley stands be-
fore the American people as the stalwart
representative of protection to American
/ labor.
As the author of the greatest economic
measure in the annals of the United
! States he appealed to bis fellow country
men in his native State to support him
and vindicate the Mckinley tariff. As
the unilinching champion Of the Repub-
uiean dollar. worth always and every
where 100 cents, he appealed to the
voters Of Ohio TO sustain the cause of
sound currency and repudiate the dan
oerous and dishonest freesilyer theories
Of his Democratic opponents. From the
tirst the Ohio Republicans forced the
6gbtipp. They conducted a brilliantly
aggressive campaign. The Democrats
{ were kept on the defensive.
Major Mckinley traversed the length
and breadth Of the State. His enthusi-
asm we're unhagging. His mastery ap-
peals to the intelligence and patriotism
Of the people were irresistible. Every
where his audiences were enormous
John sherman rendered valuable aid II
the canvass by his lucid, unanswerabl'
exposition Of financial questions. Ex
Speaker Reed, Ex-Governor Foraker anc
other Republican speakers worked harc
, and effectively. But the burden anc
heat Of the day was borne by Major Nc
Kinlev. He has been the recognized
and foremost leader in a contest which
the Democrats themselves announced a
the opening engagement of the gran'
battle Of 1892. And he has won by
decisive majority that restores Ohio t
her rightful place in the splendid sister
. hood of Republican States. The fre
trade. f-ae silver advocates Of a polio
that would have lowered the Sorkinl
Z mems wages and paid them in debase
dollars have been overwhelmingly d.
feated. The national administration "a
4 been triumphantly upheld. ohio's We
! dict unmisiakably indicates a Repu0l
can national victory on the issues OF pr
e lection to American industry and sour
( currency next year.
