Ing the ,not opposition gain more than
100000. Never since 1871, the year in
which the revelations concerning the OPP

been such an opposition arrayed against

severe blow he's been struck at the foun-

organization in the country
NEW YORK, Noy. z The scene on News
paper Row last night when il was con-
cedcd by the Democrats that Morton had
won the governorship and Strong the
mayoralty was one OF wild enthusiasm.
Fully 10000 thronged the thoroughfare,
blocking traffic and impeding the horse
and cable cars When the concessions by
the Democrats were announced there
seemed to be three Republicans To every
Democrat present. Tammany men said:
"T'his will lead to thorough roorganiza-
tion of the Democratic party in this city,
and it will bring about good results two
years FROM now" As the bulletins We're
flashed on tbs walls each raised the enthu-
siasm higher A specimen one is this for
the statci Fight hundred and seventy
-four districts Of 300 districts outside Of
New York and Kings give Hill, 90,5os;
Morton, i99, 722; Wheeler, l,lol The
same districts in 1891 gave Flower, 9s,64;
Fassctt los. 750; net Republican gain over
1891, 29,0s9
Remarkable fisur for Gotham.
Another that was significant was this;
Hill carried Albany city by 900 plurality;
Flower carried it by B 500 Then tllcre was
this from tho city: "Nine hundred and
fifty districts give, Hill, l02, 1893; Morton,
100, 45i; Wheeler, 7,lS2 Such figures
were unprecedented, Next Morton's
plurality in Brooklyn was figured at 1000
and Hilrs in this city at not over 1900,
while the indications were that Morton
would carry New York and Kings county
by 10000 plurality. No wonder that Grant
entered the police headquarters, where
Strong was receiving returns, and con-
graduated him and acknowledged his vic
tory, Strong thanked him. President
MARITIME Of the police board, said Tam
many had abandoned all hope Of carrying

a Gathering ut the State Capitol.
A dispatch from Albany thus describes
the scene in the executive chamber; "A
notable gathering of politicians sat in the
executive chamber last night and read the
returns, Senator Hill arrived at z p. IN.
Colonel Williams, the governors private
secretary, came next. Already batch Of
bulletins was on the senator's desk At
1870 all hope of saving the state was given
up by those who had thus far arrived. 1t
was even feared that New York city
might go Republican, and it was conceded
that Hin could carry 1t but by few
thousand votes Governor Flower mr.

patches and ut once gave up all hope. lie

struck the metropolis. llo said he had
felt the wave coming when he was in New
York All the time senator Hill said not
word but read the returnsand consulted
