BFw YORK, Nov. BY 10 o'claalt
figures had been obtained from distan4
parts of the state New York whereby a
comparison with the vote in this city
showed that Flowers majority would be
about %, 900. The falling off in the counties
north of Harlem seems to show that it is
due to the operation of the ballot and re-
gistration laws under which this is the first
general election held in the state. There
was intense excitement around the news
paper bulletin boards, in the leading clubs
and uptown resorts where the news was
quickly known. There was cheering and
counter cheering according as the
fluctuations seemed to render the
up to O'Clock more or less in doubt. The
Democracy carried both congressional dis
tricts, the Tenth and Twelfth. Little of
the latter district, (F,lowers) was elected
and Cochran being reelected
from the Tenth. The list of sena-
tors elected shows that Tammany
carried all the senatorial districts except
the eight which was carried by the Repub-
licans. In the assembly Tammany Demo-
Gratis made almost clean sweep of the
city, Republicans gaining one district, the
Seventh. Tammany candidates for the jul
diary were elected by large majorities
and the board of aldermen were swept
by Tammany, as completely as in its candi-
dates for the assembly. 1t was asserted at
Republican headquarters that they had not
forgotten the celebrated message, 'swhat
majority do you wantl'

COLORADO.
The Colorado Election.

DENVER, Col, Nov. 3.-The weather to-
day was warm and cloudy, and the election
was beyond all question the most peaceful
one ever had in Denver. Considering the
fact that this is an off year and shat the
Australian system, which went into effect
to-day, had DISTINGUISHED colonies and g.
men. the vote cast was surprisingly heavy
one. Little or no trouble was experienced in
getting voters through the polling booths
and the places of voting were free from
gangs of ticket-peddlers and boozers, who,
Under the old system, were an annoyance to
the voter. When the polls closed tonight
no arrests had been reported for illegal
voting. There were five tickets in the
field, the Democratic, Republican. Peoples,
Prohibition and Peoples non-partison. The
first two polled the vote, the other three
making but little showing. No state Off
GERS were voted for except for chief
justice of the supreme court and but
little scratching was done. Reports re-
ceived from various parts of the state indi-
cate that the election passed off quietly and
in many places mixed ticket was chosen.
The counting of the ballots will be very
slow, and on account of the great distance
precincts are apart it will be very late be-
fore returns of a definite character can be
had. There is, however, no doubt of the
election of Judge Helm, Republican, to the
chief iusticeship.

Quite an interesting wedding took place
at the residence of r. P. Allen, two miles
south of Smithfield, on Sunday evening

served to the many friends in attendance,

The public school under the able manage

this place yesterday morning with Il good
attendance and with fiattering prospects of
grand success.
The election on the road tax held at this

confident throughout the contest. In Des
Moines the Democrats commenced firing
their cannon before single precinct had
finished its balloting. The Republicans
were not as demonstrative but Just as con-
fident Of victory. Il is conceded the cleo
ton will be close The most remarkable
thing is the increase in the
vote cast over last year and two
years ago. All reports received in this city
indicate the heaviest vote ever cast in the
state.
The weather has been disagreeable in
many parts of the state, but it has proba-
bly, not decreased the vote. Early in the
campaign it looked as if the Farmers
Alliance or Peoples party would
seriously complicate the election.
Republicans anticipated this move
ment by placing in nomination farmer for
governor and farmer for lieutenant-gov-
ernor. II Mr. Wheeler is elected his meth
DDS will be very popular with candidates in
the future. If not. a campaign of hand
shaking and letter writing will be in bad
repute. The Republican candidate for
Acknowledgements, George Van Houten,
has played an important part on account of
his close association with the Farmers Al
lance, in which he has been one of the Or
ganizers and leaders.

The Voting in Ohio.

CINCINNATI, ONO. Nov. 3.-The election
was the most quiet, orderly, business-like
and satisfactory ever held in Cincinnati
since the good old times when everybody
knew everybody else and all were honest.
The new election law based on the Austria
lian system was tried for the first time.
This city has for several years enjoyed the
beneficial effects of registration law
administered by an honest and efficient and
non-partisan board of elections. The pres
ent law is a fine supplement to that and
they both Danish evils that actually at
tached to the old system or at least were
always thought to attach to it. The pres
ent law appears to give a perfect registry
and declaration of the peoples
will. In the city the expense
of special election booths was avoided.
Four stalls We're set up in a room; near one
end was the judges table. At the other
end the railing was placed which the voters
approached and received their ballots in the
order of their arrival In booths ballots
were prepared with the assistance of
judges if required, and then folded
and deposited. The whole effect
is to give dignity and order to that
which formerly was game of more or less
chance, where often the loudest voice or
strongest party carried the election. So
election day was entirely free from
disorder. Candidates moved about
wholly free from annoyance because
the election drummer's occupation
is gone The Cincinnati polls closed at 4
o'clock p. IN. In other parts of the state
they closed at o'clock From all points
during the day a full vote was reported
and until after the close of the polls the
predictions of the morning were. repeated
with confidence.

Gratis claim every senatorial district in the
state. Reports received here indicate
that this is the case, although
news from the Sixth and Tenth
districts is meager. Partial returns show
a Democratic gain in the two districts, and
there is hardly doubt that the Eighteenth
has been carried by them. Both of
these districts were Republican in the
last legislature. The Democrats will have
at least four-fifths of the house. Two Ali
ance candidates and one Straight-out Re
publican have been elected to the house.
The Democrats will have a large independ-
ent working majority in the next legisla-
ture.
Ninety-seven precincts in Cincinnati give
Mckinley 1916, Campbell 1881. The
same in 1890 gave Ryan 16, PSI, Crowley H.
146.
Fifty-eight precincts in the city of Cleve-
land give Mckinley 6l04, Campbell $685.
Ashenhurst III, Seitz 5Sl.
Six hundred and tventy-seven precincts
outside of Cincinnati give Mckinley 81
9S5; Campbell, s5,312; Ashenhurst, 1905;
Seltz, 1881. The same N 1890 gave Ryan,
9l,060; Cromley, S2,4S4; Lockwood, 5312 i;
Curtis, 1853.
Later returns only serve to make the
governor and his friends feel that his esti-
mate was none too high.

midnight Brooklyn shows that the Demo-
Gratis have elected their mayor, congress
men, their entire city and coun-
ty ticket, seven aldermen at
large, eight district aldermen, three juetices
and five super sisors. Republican politicians
claim that the silk stocking element of their

WESTERN UNION FIRE.

Have Started from q Cross with the
Street Railway Wire-Loss $4,000.
Special to the Gazette.

Speclai 10 the GaZetle
GALVESTON, TEX, Nov. Sat 8 80 o'clock
this afternoon fire broke out in the office of
the Western Union telegraph company in
this city. A trolly loop of the electric rail-
way is supposed to have come in contact
with wire leading into the telegraph office,
and thus ignited the wires back of the
switch board. The flames burst forth with
out scarcely a moments warning, rapidly
reaching the roof through the conduct, the
wires entering overhead. The occupants
of the Office were compelled to make a hasty
exit. AL the instruments, furniture and
part of the records in the operating room
were destroyed. The Associated Press
Office on the second floor was damaged by
the fire and completely deluged with water.
The Mexican cable company, also on the
second floor, escaped with but little dam
age and only a slight interruption of bust
ness. Temporary wires are being arranged
and limited communication has been estab-
hshed this evening, The total damage is
about $50 900, the very prompt action of the
fire department preventing serious loss.

OMAHA, NEB., Nov. Sin spite of the
fact that very light vote has been polled,
the election to-day has been the most hotly
contested of any struggle eyer witnessed
IN Nebraska. The light vote is
due partially to the weather and
partially to the Australian system
of voting which has proved
cumbersome, especially in Omaha The
complicated ticket and the novelty of the
Australian system have made the count
very slow. At p. m. not a single precinct
in the city or state had completed the count
and the probabilities are that of the eighty
eight voting precincts in Omaha not over
twenty will finish the count before a. m.
Omaha-Eight precincts give Bemis, Re-
publican for mayor. 600 majority, with the
indication that he carried the city by from
1000 to $500.

Met Folger's Fate.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Roswell P. Flower
was elected to-day as governor, to succeed
David B. Hill. His plurality is estimated
at 200 to $4,000 Fassett did not carry
his own city, Flower beating him by sol
votes Returns received from the districts
outside of New York and Kings counties
indicate that Fassett has met Folger's
fate. In jefferson, Clinton and Mont
gomery counties he was far behind
the vote for Miller. Watertow's four wards
show gain for Flower 1t had been expected
that out of registration of 261, 532, at least
240,OO0 ballots would be polled, but only
about 100000 persons voted. In the Hill
Miller campaign more than 271,000 votes
were cast. Comparatively Flower ran as
well as Governor Hill, whose plurality was
$4,000, and who was elected by 1900.
Flower will take to the Harlem river 5000
plurality. 1t is doubtful if Fassett will
bring down $1,000 to meet it.
The Democrats are gaining assemblymen in
the state. Sheehan is not doing as well as
Flower, but his election is assured. At 10
O'Clock Governor Hill telegraphed to Police
Commissioner Martin claiming the state for
Flower by 10000 plurality.
