Gives a Scientific Theory for the Re
publican Defeat.
[By Telegraph to the Evening Journal.l
New YORK, Nov 11.-Ex-Senator
Thomas c. Platt returned from his home
in Owego, Tioga county. yesterday morn
ing In an interview last night regard
ing the outcome Of the election he
said.
'In looking over the defeat it has been
suggested to my mind that President
Harrison was beaten in this state by
about the same majority which over
whelmed J. Sloat Fassett, the Republican
candidate for governor last fall All
newspaper readers will recall that Mr..
Fassett made his campaign issue the
fight against Tammany Hall.
"In this he was supported by some Of
the Republican leaders in the state.
Others objected to that line of policy and
Governor Hill, who took the stump
against my young friend FaSsett, made
every attempt to divert the issue into
national channels. 1t is sad to relate
that some of my old Republican friends
believed that Mr.. Fassett should have
accepted the gage of battle thrown down
by Governor Hill. Mr. Fassett and his
friends, though. stuck to the one issue.
in that campaign the Republican
vote in New York city wss larger than it
has been in this political fight. II was a
ringing issue and the Republicans were
cheered on by il. This year the McKin-
ley law was the issue and what has been
the resultS The Republican vote in New
York and Kings and in all the counties
except those in the southern tier, fell
down miserably.
81 do not wish TO 60 further in this
matter just at this time, except TO add
that in my opinion had the old fight
against Tammany been continued we
would have had better results in the
state. Yet, speaking of the Mckinley
law, venture the prediction that if the
Democratic party attempts to tinker the
tariff, there will be another political revo.
luton four years from now"
'Mr Platt went over the counties of
the southern tier, which he said, plainly
showed that all Republicans in the
southern tier were loyal no matter what
the issue was. On the other hand,
among the counties which show loss is
Herkimer, dominated by ex-senator
Warner Miller, which has a loss Of 402
In Kings, where Secretary Tracy has
been active for four years the Republi-
can loss is 1G. 445. Strange to say the
loss in New York county, Mr.. Platt at
tributed,to DR.. Depew
OF all the counties in the state, those
donated by the Platt element were tho
only ones which kept their end up and
showed a gain.
Mr.. Platt said that he felt very sorry
indeed for the party, and, Of course, h
was chagrined over the defeat and re
tirement of President Harrison to pri
vate life.

Kansas for Weaver.

TOPEKA, Nov 1.-THE Peoples party,
assisted by the Democrats, have certainly
elected the Weaver electors, the entire state
ticket and congressman at large by a ma
jority of at least 1000 This is practically
conceded by the Republicans, The Repub-
leans have elected Case Broderick in the
First district, Il. IL. Funston in the Second
and Charles Curtis in the Fourth. The
Populists have elected 4. J. Hudson in the
Third district, John Davis in the Fifth, w.
NJ. Baker in the Sixth, Jerry Simpson in
the Seventh and A. w. Harris at large.
In the legislature the Populists have elected
twenty-three senator's and the Republicans
seventeen. In the house the Populists have
iiftyeight, Democrats two and Republicans
siXty-iiye The two Democrats are pledged
TO vote for the Republican candidate for
United States senator, having been elected
with the aid OF Republicans. This gives the
Republicans a majority of three ON joint
ballot and insures the election Of a kepub.

OFFICIAL VOTE CAUSES SURPRISE.

The Toner DIen Thought the Plurality so

Gould Did 1.-THE Mistake Discovered
and Protests Withdrawn-OmciaI Vote
as Canvassed.
The longest sitting of the Board of
Canvass of New Castle county ended at
/ o'clock this morning. 1t resulted in
establishing the fact that Pierce Gould,
Republican candidate for sheriff, had
defeated James j. Toner, Democrat, by
179 plurality. This was the only ques-
tion which gave interest to the session
of the board and as soon as it was settled
the interest ended.
Peter L. Cooper, Jr., Toner'S counsel,
entered a protest against portions of
Christiana and st. Georges hundreds and
the Seventh and Ninth wards of this
city, but the protests we're not fled.
AT 1890 o'clock Inspector William H.
Quinn withdrew the protests and de-
clared that the Democrats believed that
Gould was honestly and fairly elected.
Shortly afterwards the inspectors
signed the certificates and the board ad-
journed.
The total vote in Delaware, exclusive
of the votes cast for the Colored Inde-
pendent Republican ticket, was as fol-
lows.

The Result I'm ohio.

COLUMBUS, Nov. 1.-THE result Of the
election in this state is still In doubt, and
Il will probably take the official count TO
decide IT, Seventy-six counties have been
heard from by the Democratic state com
mittee, and estimating the results in the
other twelve counties, they claim Cleveland
has carried the state by 1870 plurality
They also claim that Taylor Dem, for sec
retary of state, is elected by larger plural
ity. Reports have been received by the Re
publican committee from all the counties
of the state except Monroe, Licking. Wyan-
dot and Tusoarawas and estimating the
results in these counties, they claim the
election Of Taylor (Rep.), for secretary of
state, by Alb plurality, and that Harrison
has carried the state.

probation Of the kindness and considera-
tion with which have been treated while

ant one indeed, and that fact contributes
very much to the satisfaction which / feel
over the outcome.
81 ought TO add that we feel grateful to
the representatives Of the press Of the
country, especially TO those representing
the New York papers, for the very generous
treatment accorded to the members Of the
Democratic national committee. To the
Democratic and independent newspapers
of the country much Of the great result
which has been achieved is due, and they
should be awarded full credit.
81 would like to also express my thanks
TO all those good, earnest and enthusiastic
Democrats who have written or telegraphed
their congratulations to the Democratic
national committee Because of their great
number it will be simply impossible to
write or telegraph to each. and it is hoped
that this public acknowledgment will be
accepted as an expression Of appreciation
of their messages of commendation and
cOngratulation."

NEW YORK, Nov. 1l.-Chairman Carter.
Of the Republican national committee has
sent the following telegram to President
Harrison:
"The returns show that we have been de.
ieated by pronounced majority. The de-
feat can only be attributed TO a reaction
against the progressive policies Of the Re
publican party"
According to present indications the
Hon. Grover Cleveland will have a total Of
275 votes in the electoral college, Benjamin
Harrison will have 1876 electoral votes, and
the Populist candidate, General Weaver,
will have 32 electoral votes. Later returns
may Of course change this, but the general
result will not be affected by any new de-
velopments that may now occur.
The Republican states are Idaho, Maine,
Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New
Hampshire, North Dakota, Pennsylvania
Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont,
Washington and Wyoming Harrison also
receives nine Of the electoral votes Of Michi-
gan and three Of Oregon.
General Weaver carried Colorado, Kan
sas, Nebraska and Nevada, and secured
one Of the electoral votes Of Oregon, all Of
which states were previously in the Repub-
lican column.
The states that were previously strong
holds Of the Republicans and which are
now in the Democratic column are Ohio,
Illinois, California, Indiana and Wisconsin.
The Congress situation.
II is still impossible TO give the status OF
the several parties in the Fifty-third con.
gress officially. The developments Of the
day tend to confirm to the point Of absolut,
certainty the statement made originally IN
the United Press dispatches that the bal
ance Of power in the next senate will be
held by the third party, although by mar
row margin.
The Democrats will gain senators in New
York, Wisconsin, Wyoming and California

The details of the parade are not per

News of the election Of Mr. Cleveland
was received by tariff reformers in
Mexico with great satisfaction aud as
certain to strengthen them in their con
test against monopolies Mexican pro
tectionists have employed the stock
arguments OF the American high tariff
party and the complete rout of that party
is tremendous blow TO them.
Mr. Cleveland is greatly admired In
this country as statesman and as a
friend Of Mexico with whose president he
has always been on pleasant terms
Mexican people consider Mr.. Cleveland
as desirous Of cultivating friendly rela-
tions with them. and they believe that
during his previous administration he
did much TO prevent collision between
the two countries.
European business men here do not
like his election, regarding it as likely
TO promote the growth OF American

To pepose General Howard.

NEW York, Nov. 11.-Considerable
gossip has been occasioned on Governors
Island by the rumor that General o. o.
Howard would be replaced in com
mand of the department Of the Atlantic
by General Miles whose headquarters
are now in Chicago. None of the officers
could say how or where the rumor

inclined to think it true. General
Howard is now in Europe and will not
return home for two months. He is
collecting data for work on harbor
defence.
