ELMIRA, Nov. 4-[Special ]-Hon. j.
Sloat Fassett is at his home in this city.
THE DISPATCH correspondent called there
and found him in a pleasant mood. He
greeted the reporter courteously, and was
willing to talk on most any subject that
cline up, but declined at first to say to what
he attributed his defeat. He did say, how
ever, that the cry of the Democrats about
the Worlds Fair and Tom Platt had not
the least effect on the result.
'It is very evident" said Mr.. Fassett,
'that those two issues, as they are called,
did not injure my vote in the least. You
have DOUBTLESS read the returns, and seen
how the vote in New York City stands. I am
sure that if these two cries had the least
effect on my election, my vote would not
have been so large in that city,"

Fassett, or are you an aspirant for United
States Senator, in the place of Frank His
cock?''

WHAT CLEVELAND SAYS.
The Tariff and Honest Money Not Obsolete
Issues in This Country.

The Tariff and Honest Money Not Obsolete
Issues in This Country.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4-Whsn seen at his
residence, e1-President Cleveland gave his
opinions of the result of Tuesdays election
as follows: 'Of course, everyone has right
to put his own construction upon the result,
and I am not anxious to obtrude my ideas;
but it seems to me something ought to be
no longer doubtful. Any man who still
thinks that tariff reform is a settled and
obsolete issue, or that the importance of
sound and safe money, is question upon
which people can be blinded, is either will
fully wrong or dangerously dull. 1t seems
to me, too, that Democrats ought to be sat-
isfed that stanch adherence to the prin-
ciples of the party does not require the
abuse of those who show no inclination to
help us.
Il very much regret the defeat of Cover
ernor Campbell. He has been brave and
honest. official. This, and the splendid
canvass he made entitled him to success.
While the election of Flower, Russell and
Boies ought to cause the utmost rejoicing
among Democrats, they should not forget
that with these things come the obligations
to be true to the people, honest in the ad-
vocacy of our principles and decent in all
things"

Loss $50, ,00O; insured.
AT Millersbur g, O. ~ yesterday the handsome

sumed, with all its contents. Loss, So, ,OOo

AT the state College, Bellefonte, last even
ing, the large barn of the State Expert
mental Station, in which the large crops
were stored, was totally destroyed The
live stock were all saved, but some farming
implements were consumed. The greatest

the barn being filled. Loss on building,
about $l20C0; on grain, ETC., $5,001 Origin
unknown. Insurance about three-quarters
OF loss.
AT Galveston Tuesday fire broke out in
the Office of the Western Union Tele graph
Company. A trolley loop of the electric
street railway is said to have come in con-
tact with wire leading into the teleghaphi
office, thus igniting the wires back OF the
switch board. The flames swept up with
great rapidity, destroying the operating, IN
struments, furniture and part of the re-
cords. The Associated Press rooms were

CHAUNCEY DEPEW SPEAKS.
HE SAYS THE RESULTS WILL EN-
COURAGE BOTH PARTIES,

Governor Hill Not Strengthened by the
Democratic Victory in New York-The
Effect Of the Ohio Election on Blaine's
Intentions.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4-[Special ]-Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew, talking to-day of the big
Democratic sweep in New York State, said
the result would have more effect on the
Democratic Convention than on any direct
national issue.
'Do you not think this result will
strengthen Mr.. Hills chances for 1892 2"
he was asked.
''Quite the reverse Governor Hills
strength was that he was the only Demo-
crst who could carry New York. Now an
much larger majority than he ever did.
That deprives him of the greatest claim he
had on the Democratic National Conven-
tion"
'"Wh hat do you think about the statement
that has been made that should Mckinley
be elected Governor Mr.. Blaine would take
the Presidential nomination."
u think the result in Ohio would not
have anything to do with Mr. Blaine's de-
cision in the matter. 1 believe that Mr..
Blame shares in the feelings of his friends,
that IL ne chooses TO accept the Republican
nomination he will be elected"
hat effect do you think that the two
elections will have on the forecast of the
national issue?'
''To encourage both parties. Tammany
and its Government of New York will al
ways be fruitful theme of Republican dis
cussion, but there is not enough of it to
rouse the whole State. After YOU get ont
into the fields it is an incident and an il
lustration, but Republicans are enthused by
inforcing the cardinal doctrines of ttIir
faith, and picturing the necessity of their
eternal vigilance and activity to prevent
their overthrow. This is especially true of
protective tariff and honest money.

Sherman's home town, Mansfield In an
interview this afternoon Governor Foraker
said
'T am candidate and the outlook is

will not be candidate and am sure Sec
retary Foster will not be in the race. He
is nicely placed, and do not think he cares
for change. The Ohio election was ma

Death in an Old Well.

BLOOMINGTON, IIa., Nov. 4-William
Cox and his son, William, aged so and %
years respectively, of Wapella, IS miles
south of here, yesterday attempted to make
deeper an old we'll. The son went down
into the well, but finding a large quantity
of gas, which oppressed his lungs, he started
for the top, climbing rope. When ten
feet from the bottom he lost sensibility and
fell back into four feet of water. His father
went down into the well, being let down in
q bucket. When near the bottom, Mr.. Cox
fell out of the bucket unconscious, and both
he and his soon lay dead at the bottom OF
the well.

FLOWERS BIG PLURALITY.
1T IS FOUND TO LACK ONLY A FEW
VOTES OF BEING $4,000.

The Highest Democratic Vote Exceeds the
Republicans by 81, ,Oo0-Platt Republic
ans Blaming Warner Miller-The Legis-
lature Close. With Democratic Leanings.
New YORK, Nov. 4-[SpeciaL ]-Returns
from every county in the State do not ma
terially alter the last figures sent out last
night. Flowers plurality over Fassett is
1896. Democratic gains were made in al
most every county, but especially in the
Republican strongholds. The Platt Repub-
licans are saying tonight that the ticket
was knitted by the Warner Miller men and
by other enemies that Platt has made dur
ing his long connection with New York
State politics.
The majority in New York City remains
as sent out last night 59. 600 in round num-
bers. Kings county, which includes the
city of Brooklyn, gives the Democratic
State ticket $4,000.
The San saws that the Legislature is going
to be very close There are eight or ten
districts in which each party is claiming the
election of its candidate by exceedingly
small maiorities, and it will be several days,
if indeed the official count is not requiled,
before they can be decided An effort to
touch all of these doubtful districts tonight
seems toashow that the Senate is Democratic
II to Is, the Assembly Democratic 65 to SO;
total Democratic majority on joint ballot,
4. The chances favor an increase in this
Democratic majority rather than decrease.
vrooman had tendency to run ahead of
Fassett in all parts of the State, while,
Speaker Sheehan ran behind Flower in
many counties Mr.. Flowers home popu-
larity is shown by the big vote which he
received in Jefferson county, where Fas-
sett's plurality was 237, as against 2, 13S for
Miller in 1888.
In Chemung county, the home of Governor
Hill and Fassett, Mr. Flower has ma
iority of 722. In 1888 Governor Hill car
ried the county against Warner Miller by a
plurality of 991. Mr.. Platt's county of
Tioga failed to help Fassett out of the pit,
his majority being S62 as against !, 215 for
Warner Miller in 1888.
Mr. Vrooman had Is votes more than
Fassett, in spite of Platt's efforts. The
pluralIties of Frank Rice, Danforth and
Simon w. Rosedale ran ahead of Flower
Rosedale's is highest, about $1,000. Rice
and Danforth have about 60, 900. Sheehan's
was about 81, 900, and the others had about
5S, 900.

THE MOST RADIANT REPUBLICAN.
Senator Quay Too Happy to Call and Con-
gratulate the President

grAtulate the PRESIDENT.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-[Special ]-Sena-
tor Quay was at his house here to-day, all
day, leaving in his special car tonight for
Florida, whence he will not return until
Congress meets. He did not call at the
White House to extend his sympathy to
President Harrison, but he seemed to think
President Harrison needed it, for he regards
the success of the Democrats as a condemna-
tion of the administration, just as he re-
CARDS the result in Pennsylvania as a vim
dication and victory for himself, not only
offsetting the Delamater defeat, but pre-
saying his own triumph and reelection to
the Senate next year.
He attributes the defeat of Delamater to
the weakness of the candidate, who was
nominated, he says, against his better judg-
ment. This year good men were nominated
by his advice and were elected Of one
thing he feels certain, and that is that he
will control the Pennsylvania delegation to
the next National Convention, and that it
will not vote to renominate Harrison. Quay
was the most radiant Republican in Wash
ington to-day and left for Florida in a
jubilant mood.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-11-05

scarcely any county so far heard from has
the Alliance maintained the strength dis
played last year. In but one Of the ten
judicial idistricts in which contests were
waged was the new party successful. The
Republicans there we're divided and two
candidates were in the field. Otherwise the
Farmers Alliance candidate would have
been beaten there.
The Republicans have elected their can
didates in at least four-ffths of the coun-
ties in the State, and are claiming that the
will be unable to endanger the safety of the
Republican party in 1892. Democrats are
almost as highly gratifed at the result as
Republicans, as majority of them believe
that the continued political success of the
new party would be of great injury to the
good of the State.
