 creation of n committee of 7O citizens, and under its leadership a concentrated political movement was directed against Tammany Hall, in which the Good. Gov ernment clubs the German Reform asso- citation and the local Republican organi- cations joined in indorsing a nonpartison ticket headed by William l.. Strong for mayor and John w. Golf for recorder.
 A feature of the canvass on the east side was the part women played In 1t. Women of the highest social standing formed themselves into an organization to aid in the war against Tammany. and they carried the war down into the slums. They were treated respectfully, and their arguments and appeals were listened to courteOusly. There seems to be no doubt that their action tended in n measure tO bring about the result of yesterdays city election.
 So complete Is the downfall of the great political organization that its nominees for congress are involved in the cntastro phe With the exception of one of it's congressional candidates the Tammany cong essional candidates have been de feated. Mir Strong's plurality for mayor exceeds 10. 900.

Twelve Of the l3 congressman are Repub- liCanS. and the state legislature in both branches Is completely under the control of the same party. On account of the storm. which crippled and in some cases destroyed entirely the tclecraphic service of the state, returns have come in slowly.
 All repurts that have reached this city tell the same st"ry. and that of n Demo cratic WaIerlon Since the beginning of tho campaign the re election of Governor GreenLaIga has been conceded by his op ponCnts, tho only question being ono of majority.

 TRENTON, Nov. The election in Now Jersey was n complete overthrow to the Democrats. 50 far tilc Republicans have gained control Of five Of tho six scna turial districts which were voted in this year Tho sixth is still in doubt In case Burlington county Is carried by the Republicans the Democrats will be with out representation in the upper house. In the assembly tho Republicans havo elected I3 out of possible 6O. Three seats are still in doubt. The difference between tho three candidates in Mon mouth county Is so slight that only n complete count will decide it At tho most tho Demoa rats will not havc moro than li out of the G0 assemblymcn
 In the congressional contest the Rcpuh licanS appear to have carried every dis triCt with the exception of the Seventh. Colonel Edward Stephens will be the only Democrat elected This is a gain of five congressman in tho state.
 The New Jersey legislature will he Ro publican and have n working majority of ID or i3 in joint session. This insures tho election of a Republican to succeed John R. McPherson. It Is not known who will be chosen, but Franklin Mur- phy of Newark and William T. Sewell of Camden arc the aspirants

 Louisiana has probably sent a solid Democratic delegation to congress, the planters bolt having failed in the effort to carry the state for the Republicans. To the race issue they attribute their de feat
 Amendments Probably Carried.
 The results of the sweeping victory are moro farreaching than simply tho election of the Republican state ticket. While the returns are very incomplete on the constitutional amendments, it is highly probable at this writing that all of them arc adopted. The percentage of loss as compared with the vote for the head of tho ticket Is not nearly so large as 1t was supposed to be, and the result, therefore. is that the legislature will consist of 50 senators and 1 50 assemblymen; that pool selling on races will be prohibited; that the canals will be improved and that a new judiciary system will be insugurated. The sweep also means that for the first time in many years tho Republicans will have control of tho state legislature and at the same time have a governor in the chair in political harmony with them.
 In addition to all these decided gains the state congressional delegation, being changed materially, acts in pivotal sense, and 1t may be said that with the election of majority of Republican con gressmen New York state throws control of the national legislature into Republic an hands.
 Senator Hill for the present positively declines to give his views on the result saying that he would talk later when he had had time to look over the figures.

the returns show that n scvCr,' blow has been struck st tho foundation of the most powerful local political organization in the country
 Two years ago the Rev. Dr Parkhurst delivered sermon in his 'hurch, the Madison square Presbyterian. in which he charged Tammany with misgovcrn ment in all the departments of the city and particularly charged that the police administration was corrupt. He was elected president of tho Society For the Prevention of Vice, and then began a TO markable crusade against Tammany Hall. He maintained that disreputable houses in tho city existed by conniVanco of the police: that gambling houses and other places Of evil reputation paid money to the police for protection. His course was su extreme that some of tho best Citi ZcnS publicly stated that his ardor for re form was ill advised and they deprecated the means he had adopted to prove his assertions Not in the least detcrrcd by the flood of adverse criticism he had evoked, he pursued the course he had mapped out for himself He would poirS out to the authorities tho existence of an illegal resort. The police would report that tho place specified did not exist. Then the society uf which Dr. FaIkhurst is tho head would procure warrants and raid ths place.
 In many instances the pruprietors were convicted on tho evidence of tho society, thus Conclu~ivcly proving that the police were making no attempt to uphold tho law. The fight was wagcd with great bitterness
 At the last session of the legislature tho matter was laid before tho senate, with the result that a committee was appoint cd to examine into tho various New York city departments.
 John W. Golf, who has been elected re- corder on the independent ticket, was se- lected as counsel 10 the committee. The

a tidal wave of Republicanism has swept the country from Maine to California Our party was dilatory in repeating the silver bill and tariff law. Business has been disorganized. and when the tariff bill was passed no one seemed willing to father it or call the question settled. The result shows that business men have voted tho Republican ticket in order to give their interests a rest.
 Tho result in Now York city and Brooklyn shows that tho people want a purer and hotter government for those cities The result shows that Senator Hills voto and MT. wheeler's combined would lack over 100 900 of carrying the statc.'
