Nineteen precincts reported from Augusta
county and the city of Staunton show
democratic loss of fourteen to each pre-

AS the definite returns began to be re-

quick cartoons, that We're displayed in rapid
succession, to the great edification OF the
multitude. The sight of the Rev. DR.. Park

Already He Speaks of Working for
Tnmmany's Future Defeat.
Rev Charles H. Parkhurst DID,, of New
York. expressed no surprise at the result
of yesterdays polling. 'All can say" he
declared lis we have been defeated. My
belief and experience are that we should
learn a lesson from our defeat. 1 think 1
may say for myself that 1 have been per-
fectly prepared for any result that might
ensue Whatever that result may be it will
not in the least impair my conviction that
the anti-Tammany spirit ii this town is
fully as strong and fully as intelligent as
It was a year ago. Too much credit can
not be given to the committee of fifty for
the fidelity with which they worked, and
for the conservation of purpose which they
have shown to the object which they had
in view. But 1 can only express my belief
that the policy adopted by the committee
of fifty was a mistaken policy, and one of
a character that was not exactly calculated
to appeal to the popular heart or fire the
moral enthusiasm.
THE step which lies Immediately before
US now Is to carefully, patiently and with
out any mutual determinations consider
the situation in all it's details, and to pro-
coed promptly to the laying down of lines
which shall issue year hence in results
of contrary complexion"

Brooklyn Democrats Win.
Republican managers in Brooklyn have
conceded the election of the democratic can

The new ballot did not cause nearly as
much trouble as the politicians thought 1t
would. Only about one ballot in every sew
enty-five was spoiled. and the average time
consumed by citizens in making their
marks and in depositing them with the
receiving clerk was two minutes.
Gleason Made Mayor.
Among the other notable incidents of tho
campaign was the reelection of Patrick
Gleason, mayor of Long Island City, by a
large majority, after a unique campaign.

the polls and tried by gentle argument and

1t is generally conceded that the down

entirely, due to the Sunday liquor question.

Secretary Herbert Mt the Young Mems

There was gathering of democrats at the
Metropolitan Hotel, where bulletins were re-

c.al wire had been run. The Young Mems
Democratic Club, of which Mr.. j. Fred KEEL

mcnts, and the members and their friends
were given every facility to learn the latest
news. Mr.. James L. Saffell, who has per-
formed a like service for the club ever since
its organization in 1884, presided at the in
strument.
Among the visitors to the Metropolitan
during the evening was Secretary Herbert
who was given a seat in the parlor where the
returns were being read. Mr. Herbert was
an interested listener to the bulletins and
remained some time.
Mr.. Arthur Small arrived in the city about
$40 o'clock from New York city, where he
had cast his ballot in the morning. On ar
irving at the headquarters his silken Tam

in the state. The republican vote shows no
special loss, the losses to populism being al
most uniformly from the democrats.

Mississippi elected full list of state Off
GERS and legislature. The legislature will
choose successor to United States Senator
James z. George, democrat, whose term
will expire March 3, 1899. There were two
tickets in the field--the democratic, headed
by A. j. McLaurin for governor. and the
populist, headed by Frank Burkitt for gov
ernor.
The democratic majority is estimated at
10000
The weather throughout Mississippi yes
terday was clear and warm, but the indi-
cations are that not more than half the
registered vote was polle1. From reports
received it is estimated the democratic ma
jority will be from 5000 to 5O,OO0. The
populists did not receive more than Is per-
cent of the total vote cast In Jackson
city. $40 votes were polled, being less than
half the registered votes Burkett, popu-
list candidate for governor, got fourteen
of this number, and the remainder went to

is victory for the free silrerites.

ciated. About o'clock the display began.
Before o'clock the avenue in front of
The Star office was solidly massed with
humanity, through which only lane was
left to allow the cars to pass. The throng
was composed of persons in every walk of
life. Merchants. government officials. me-
chanicS, laborers and the irrepressible and
leather lunged small boy damned them
selves together in an impenetrable mass,
through which Sandow could have made
his way only with difficulty.
1t was a genial and good-natured crowd
too. 1t chaffed each other with much good
humor. When a democratic bulletin would
be displayed and those of that political per-
suasion temporarily exulted the republicans
would jeeringly assure them that they would
know what difference there would be in
the morning, and when republican hopes
were sent soaring by pleasant news for them
the Jeffersonian believers would solace
themselves with the reflection that New
York city was safe, anyhow. The many pic
lures thrown on The Stars immense screen
were greeted with much applause. and this
was particularly the case with that of ex-
Governor A r. Shepherd. The excellence of
the display made on The Stars screen ex-
cited general comment. The stereopticon
exhibition was managed by Mr.. L. A. Ro-
ginski.
AS time grew on and details of the cleo
tons became more definite, the crowd
rapidly increased. This was due as niue h
to the fact of the superiority of The Stars
bulletin service to the movement down
town of people who waited for the recep-
ton of actual returns, as most of those who
had visited other places where returns were
being received remained al The Star office
when they found such complete and rapid
system of displaying the returns in opera
ton.
Surprise Seizes the Spectators.
When figures began to come in of suffi-
cient size to allow comparisons to be made
with former elections, and 1t was perceived
that the republicans were repeating the
tidal wave Of 1893, except alone in New
York city, surprise for the time being dis

The Republican Majority Reaches the
Figures of 155, SS5.
Pennsylvania elected state treasurer
and seven judges of the new superior court.
The republican majority in Pennsylvania
for treasurer reaches the figures of 1a5, sS5.
1t Is not very far from the result of the
corresp onding election two years ago. The
vote was light, with exceptions in several
counties, where there were hot local con-
tests to bring the people out. 1t is evident
that many republicans cut one or another
