RAPID WORK.
New York, Nov. THE rapidity of the
gathering of the city and state returns as
reported by the Associated Press was
never before equalled. The polls closed
at 4 o'clock, the bulletins announcing the
vote of the first election precinct on the
governor was received at 53l p. III. At
:02 a. IN. the total vote of the New YORK
City election for governor, mayor and re-
cOrder had been tabulated, and the COM
plete tables appeared in every morning
paper in New York City servd by the As
sOciated Press. By contrast, no other
paper other than those served by the AS
sociated Press in the city was able to prin
the complete tabuteated vote of New
York City. In the same manner the re-
suit in Kings and Queens county, with
the exception of two election districts,
was complete on governor and congress.
Twenty-fOur local Western Union wires
were employed to make this possible. The
Kings county, embracing the total 24O0
districts out of 1893 were reported by l
q. M
NEWSPAPER OPINIONS.
New York. Nov. THE Evening
the nation today suffered Il somewhat
just but inevitable punishment for its
World says: 1.-The Democratic party i'll
failure to carry out the mandate of the
fNN. 1Isst
ago to reform the tariff. 1t talked and
squabbled and wrangled about it. 1t par
allied business and disturbed industry.
1t made everybody uncomfortable and it
self unpopular. And then it surrendered
its principles to Il gang of bribed black
mailcrs in the senate and accepted Il
compromise which the great mass of the
people considered prfdiOus and dishon-
orable.
CABINET OFFICERS TACITURN.
Washington, Nov. THE cabinet of
ticers were late in reaching their desks
today. The president did not come into
the at all, but remained at WOOdley, pre-
sumably at work on his annual message
to congress. AS a general rule nobody
occupying Il prominent place in the ad-
ministratiOn cared to talk for publication
today respecting the election yesterday.
The single exception was Assistant Sec
rotary Doe of the war department who
had been confident that his party would
hold its own at least in his native state
of Wisconsin, He said: '"The election
in some respects reminds one very much
of that of 1874. This election will also
be claimed by the calamity howlers to be
decisive verdict against tariff reform.
But it is in fact nothing of the kind. This
is one issue which will never be settled
until tariff for revenue has been given
fair trial"
Senator Call of Florida when asked
about the result of yesterdays election
said: Gone up; gone up. When par
ty has been advocating II certain policy
during its existence and when it goes
into power fails to carry out that policy,
it is sure to suffer defeat.
