The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1895-11-07

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER Z, 1St
than intelligent as to remedy. Every
consideration of decent politics, good
government and the liberalizing of sump-
tuary laws required the success of the
reform ticket. One mans obstinate
folly and the unreasoning anger of the
people have defeated it. The large Re
publican majority in the State will stand
as monument to this sort of virtue that
exploits itself in regulating other people.
The wider consequences of the result
are grave. 1t means the strongest pos
sible nomination by the Democrats for
president and the hardest struggle in
years as the basis of hopeful campaign
next year.
| TAMMANY'S TRIUMPH.
New York, Nov. 5.-The Morning Ad-
vertiser tomorrow will say editorially:
Although the figures of the Tammany
vote show that the organization has pos
sessed greater strength than has been
supposed, the success of the Tammany
ticket is no surprise to citizens who have
intelligently observed the progress of
events. The triumph of Tammany is
due first of all and above all to the
| blunders, the apathy and the incapacity
of its opponents. Another and the
most humiliating of all the causes of
| fusion defeat was the betrayal of re-
form by some of the men who are bound
by every consideration of honor and
patriotism to support the union ticket.
ROOSEVELT COMEDIES.
New York, Nov. Sat 6:35 o'clock
Commissioner Roosevelt said at police
headquarters
81 admit the Democratic ticket is sue
cessful. 1t is too bad that the goo COOS
ran Il ticket for themselves, thus com
pelling the fusion ticket to go it alone"
IN KINGS COUNTY.
Brooklyn, n. Y, Nov. 5.-The elections
in Kings county passed off very quietly;
there were but few arrests and no cleo
| ton year. has been characterized by
| fewer clashes between the contending
parties. AS far as has been ascertained
at this hour the new ballot law has
worked well, the votes were quickly
polled and there appears to be general
satisfaction with the new system of
| voting.
Many voters made mistakes in placing
the crosses where they went outside of
| their party column, but on the whole
| the vote as cast represents fairly well
the intent of the voter.
ABONE TtiE HARLEM.
New York, Nov. 5.-The Republicans
have carried New York State "above
the Harlem" for the head of the State
ticket by a plurality clearly estimated at
| 100000. The Democrats carried New
York City by a plurality of fully 10000
for the head of the State ticket and have
carried Brooklyn by 5000, giving the
State to the. Republicans by probably
| $4,000, showing a net Republican gain
over two years ago of nearly 10000.

Amos j. Cummings Dem) to congress
from the Tenth district is conceded by

New York, Nov. 5.-The Worlds extra
thus Summarizes the result:
Returns from one-half of the election
districts of this city indicate a majority
of over 10000 for the Democratic State
ticket. Tammany ticket has won in this
city and county by about $4,000 major
ity. Returns from districts in this city
indicate that the Republicans have car
ried the State
THE NEW YORK CITY FIGHT.
New York, Nov. 5.-The election in
New York City was fight between the
straight Tammany ticket ON the one side
and the fusion of Republicans and In
dependent Democrats on the other.
Tammany's victory was never in doubt
and its plurality will be between $4,000
and $4,000. The city complete, with
the exception of 165 districts, gave Ham
ilton (fusion) 103,547; Purror CTam-
many, 1896 on the vote for county
clerk. The vote of the independent
county Democratic organization was con-
siderably below 10000 and the good gov
ernment ticket vote will scarcely reach
1000. The socialists polled more than
5000, which makes them the third party
in the city.
DR.. Parkhurst says he is not discour-
aged at the result, that great lesson
has been learned and that the committee
of fifty should never have gone into
| fusion movement.
The nearly completed returns show
that Tammany fell behind the vote for
the Democratic State ticket by from
10000 to $4,000 votes.

cans a plurality of 11S,500 north of the
Harlem.
Deducting the Democratic plurality of
Al 1,612 for the head of the State ticket
in New York City and the estimated
Democratic plurality of 5000 in Brook
lyn, the Republican plurality in the State
will be settled to fully $4,000.
Brooklyn, Nov. Go a. m.-The may
orally race is still in doubt. Four
