OPINION OF THE LEADERS.
Let the Democracy Have Full Swim,
In All Departments,

Let the Democracy Have Full Swing
In All Departments.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 9-Seeretary Of State
Foster attributed the Republican defeat to
the tariff issue. The party, he SAYS, chal-
lenged the judgment of the country Oh the
Mckinley bill, and the verdict must be
accepted as the will of the people that a
different policy shall be adopted. Other
questions entered somewhat into the con-
test, but not to such an extent as to ma
teTially affect the result. Nor would it
have been different If other candidates had
been selected, or if other leaders had man
aged the campaign. No administration
ever went before the country with cleaner
record. 1t is the policy, not the personnel,
OF the administration that has been con-
demned. In this view the Secretary is grail
fed that Cleveland seems likely to be sus-
tained b. party majority in both branches
OF t>hgress, SO that the new policy may
have a fair trial.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Chauneey NJ. De-
pew said to-day: IF Cleveland is elected
hope the Democracy will have both
branches of Congress. II he Is elected il

COLUMBUS. Ohio, Nov. 9.-Governor Nc
Kinley is not willing to discuss the result
of the election as yet. When asked for an
opinion on the Republican defeat he merely
replied: II have nothing to say Just now.

GOSSIP ABOUT CONGRESS.
The Democrats VIII Have 1t All Their
Own WAY.


Own Way.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9-Because OF lack
of returns from all the congressional dis
tricts of the country, it is as yet impossible
TO make a complete list of the membership
OF the next House of Representatives.
From information at hand there Is little
doubt that the Democrats will have have n
majority of at least eighty-eight over the
Republicans. with probability of in
creasing this figure when the full count is
known. A careful compilation on the
basis Of the returns received, shows that the
representation OF the three parties in the
house will be as follows: Republican IO7,
Democratic 1875, Peoples Party g.
AT present there are in the Senate forty-
seven Republicans, thirty-nine Democrats
and two Farmers Alliance men. II looIs
now as though after the 4th of March next
there will be forty-three Republicans, forty
three Democrats and two Farmers Alliance
representatives. One of these - Senator
PETER of Kansas-would probably vote with
the Republican party. Should Senator KYLE
insist on being on the other side on any
momentoas question there could easily be a
tie. and this would have To be broken by the
casting vote of the Vice President, who
would necessarily vote with the Democrats.
The terms OF twenty-nine members of the
Senate will expire on March next. Eight
cen OF these are Republicans and eleven
Democrats. OF the latter there IS some
doubt 40 to the return Of three, and of
the eighteen Republicans whose terms ex-
pre- In March, ten are supposed to be rea-
sonably sure as TO reflections. The others

can Committee comedies the election of Nc
Cookie ID. for Governor by from 1000 10
1900 plurality and that the State has gone
for Cleveland. Not one-half of the State
has yet been heard from, but enough is
known TO warrant the statement that West
Virginia is Democratic by a small majority.
The First and Third Congressional districts
are in doubt, with the chances fayoring
Doyenor K. in the First District and Alder
son K. in the third. The Second and

Democrats will have ten majority on joint
ballot in the Legislature.

New YORK. Nov. 9-The Tribune will
tomorrow say: For once the Democrats
were mistaken and the final results in the
different States so far have sustained the
claims Of the election of Cleveland and
Stevenson. Several days may elapse before
the result Is known in some OF the States,
but sufficient is known to warrant the re-
joicng of the English manufacturers across
the sea- The party which declares that
protection is unconstitutional has secured q
victory. and the consequences tho people
have ct to learn.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 9.-Henry Wat
terson will say Ia leading editorial to-
morrow: "The vote of Tuesday is primarily
and decisively = verdict against the policy
and theory of protection. The action of
the National Democratic Convention on
that pcint left nothing to do but careful
consideration of the question. The re-
sponse which Mr.. Cleveland gave TO the
platform was conclusive, and cheered
the hearts OF honest tariff refOrmers ali
over the land. The answer of the masses
has been spontaneous and overwhelming
1t puts doubling Democrats to shame for
their c0wardice. 1t animates and reassures
upright Democrats in the courage Of their
convictions. 1t is an announcement to
America and the world that the Govern

stepped out of the paths Of the bondage of
protectiOnism and upon the broad, open
highway OF free trade with all mankind"

eight counties In Ohio. The result is gain
Tor Cleveland of II, 1853, and this, taken
from McKinley's plurality of 21,5I1, leaves
1O,15S to be extinguished by the remaining
hfty-one counties. There is grapevine
report that the returns from seventy.two
counties give Harrison only 127 plurality.
III That be true and the remaining sixteen
counties come in without any variation,
Cleveland will have between 1900 and 5000
plurality in the State.
AT ii 40 P. NJ. the Commercial GaZette's
hgures on the Ohio situation include official
reports from ffty-One of eighty Eight coun-
ties. 1t shows 1892 Democratic gain
which leaves but 6609 of McKinley's 81 l,511
to be extinguished by the remaining thirty
seven counties. The average gain for Cleve-
land Is nearly 800 votes per county.
The Commercial Gazette. on the basis OF
complete returns from fifty-four counties
and estimates on the remaining thirty-four
counties, estimates that the Cleveland elect
ors are chosen by 353 plurality. and that S.
NJ. Taylor r., for SecreIars of State is also
elected. 1t claims also that ten Republican
and eleven Democratic Congressman are
elected.
The Enquirer D. says that with four
counties to hear from, three Of which have
hitherto been Democratic, it estimates
Cleveland's plurality in the State at 200.
The Republicans still claim Ohio by 116
plurality.
COLUMBUS, Nov. 9.-The indications at
10 O'Clock tonight are that Ohio has gone
Democratic for the first time in a Presiden-
tial year, though it may require the official
count to determine the result. At the Re-
publican headquarters they had received
unofficial returns from all but four counties.
They claim plurality of 116 and concede
that 1t will require the official count to de-
termine the matter.

English Papers Are Highly Pleased at
the Result.

LONDON. Nov. 9. - Returns from the
American election were received too late
for the m orning epers to comment on the
result. The Pail Mall Gazette this after
noon says that both the merchants ard the
unemployed workingmen of England have
reason TO rejoice at the Democratic victory.
as with the possibility of the reopening OF
the American markets to the goods of Eng
land capitalists will get chance to procure
some return on the money they have In
vested, and the workingmen will have an
opportunity TO get decent price for their
labor without the necessity Of striking.
The ST. James Gazette says that some
satisfaction is felt in England at Cleveland's
going back TO the White House. 1.-The
Blaine-H Harrison regime" it adds was far
from agreeable TO British interests. and the
majority OF the American people believe
that 1t was equally preiudicial TO them
selves"
PARIS. Nov. 9.-The Temps, commenting
upon the result OF the American election,
says: Seeing that the campaign was fought
solely on economic issues 1t is clear that the
Americans feel little, if any. affection for the
Mckinley bill and the duties of protection
The American people. ii further says, have
also. for years past, perceived that the Re-
publican movement was exhausted. There
is no question of principles at stake; aud it
is absurdy futile to be carried away by the
memories of Lincoln and Grant and thus to
meet the new requirements of a unique
situation.
TORONTO. Nov. 9.-The Empire, Conser-
vative, says: There appears to be little
doubt that Cleyeland's strong personal
qualities and the tendency to revolt from
the Mckinley tariff were the determining
features Of the contest. The result matters
little TO this country, which has had ample
experience upon the wisdom of shaping its
own policy regardless of the course of the
United States.
The GlObe, Liberal, says: The result has
lessons for all who will read them. Every
thing points TO great revulsion Of feeling
against high tariff, and especially against
the legislation Of 1890. This feeling may
not, for some time, take effect in legislation.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 9.-Returns from the

electors are safe. Bowers r. carries the city

1000 to 1860. The country ticket is much
mixed. Russell r. for Sheriff is not in 1t.
The result lies between Thompson Pop. and
Fill D., with indications in favor of the
latter. The Republicans elect the District
Attorney and Tax Collector and one of the
three Supervisors. The County Clerk aud

MINNESOTA.

ST. PAUL Nov. 9.-The count In this city
IS extraordinarily slow, partly for the
reason that the vote cast is the fullest ever
known. In some precinct only $50 votes
were counted out Of zoo up to9A.M NJ. These
votes and the meager returns from the State
show the fusion electors are running behind
the regular Democratic electors and that
the Weaver vote is not heavy. Nelson, Re-
publican, for Governor, II is estimated, will
have at least 10000 plurality. Harrison
probably has all the electors.
Seventeen precinct outside of the twin
cities give Harrison 9S3. Cleveland $50. The
same In 1888 gave Harrison 1895, Cleveland

The returns up to o'clock indicate 1000
plurality for Harrison electors over the

the fusion electors being very incomplete.

ILLINOIS.

CHICAGO. Nov. 9-The returns from this
State are still incomplete, but all indications
point to the carrying of the State by Cleve-
land and Stevenson by 5000 TO 10000. The
entire Democratic State ticket is also elected,
and the Democrats have majority in the
Congressional delegation, and apparently
gained control of both branches of the
State Legislature. AS the State is to be re-
dlStrlcted this winter, this will enable the
Democrats to so gerrymander the State as 10
gain great permanent advantage in future
elections. The Republicans concede a
Democratic victory on the State and elee-
toral ticket, but claim a possibility of
Republican success in the lower house Of
the Legislature. Turning over the State TO
the Democrats is due to perfect organi-
zatiOn and detection of the German
Lutherans from Republicans on the public
school question. The tariff question seems
to have worked favorably to the Democrats
In the country districts. The Democrats
have elected both the Congressman at large,
and probably In the following districts:
Second, Third, Fourth. Eighth, Ninth,
Twelfth and Thirteenth (Bill Springeris),
Fourteenth, Sixteenth. Seventeenth, Eigh-
teenth and Nineteenth. Republicans have
apparently been elected in the following:
L
Both parties claim the Tenth, Eleventh and
Fifteenth.
Ten hundred and eighty-seyen precincts
in Illinois give Altgeld d. for Governor
1885. Fifer 17S244; Altgeld's plurality,
20, 0SS.
One thousand two hundred and twenty
three precincts in Illinois give Cleveland
1920, Harrison 197,0OS; Cleveland's plu-
rallty, 1882.
The latest returns leave no doubt Of the
election Of j. G. Cannon r. to Congress in
the Fifteenth District.
Later returns do not abate In any way the
decisive Democratic victory in the State of
Illinois. both on the National and State
tickets. Conservative men of all parties
agree that the Democratic plurality in she
State will be approximately 10000. and that
the Democrats will have at least thirteen of
the twenty-five Congressman. with a prob.
ability of one or two more In districts still
in doubt.
Incomplete official returns from thirty ont
OK thirty-four wards in the city of Chicago
give Cleveland 66.O54; Harrison AZ. .2s2.

a strong race outside of Cook County, and
although the majority Of the Republicans
cOncede defeat, others still hope for his sue

lieves he may yet win the State. though no
great confidence Is felt in such a result 1t

GALESA, Nov. 9-Correeted election re-

News OF His Defeat.

News of His Defeat.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The prevalence
OF a hail and snow storm this morning gava
the White House a dull. gloomy appear
ance during the early hours, but beyond
this there was nothing unusual in appear
ances. Clerks who came to their desks a
little later than usual found the President
had arisen at the usual time, breakfasted
with his family and then repaired to the
Office and devoted his attention TO official
matters. Soon after disposing OF this busi-
ness the President received an official call
from Secretary John W. Foster on matters
relating to the International money confer
ence. Throughout the day the President
gave no indication whatever OF disappoint-
ment or chagrin al the result of the cleo
tiOn. He was undoubtedly the calmest per-
son In the house, and observed the custom
ary routine as though nothing unusual had
happened. AS a friend expressed 1t, "If
he Is defeated he will lay down the cares of
official life without the least personal re-
grei, and seek the more congenial seclusion
Of private life with undIsguised satisiac-
tioD."
Several newspaper men applied at the
White House this morning for an express
sion Of opinion by the President, but they
were met by Private Secretary Tibbott
with the remark that ''the President will
certainly not talk about the election until
II Is decided, and / doubt very much If be
will cay anything about it then for publlca-
tion."
Attorney General Miller. Postmaster
General Wanamaker and General Veasy
visited the President during the forenoon
and offered all the consolation possible at
the party's defeat. Each of them declined
TO suggest any possible explanation of the
Republican losses.
One persistent reporter stuck to Attorney
General Miller and asked. "To what do
you attribute the unexpected landside?"
The Attorney General hesitated for mo-
ment and replied quietly. when a man
has smallpox he don't care much how he
got it,"
