THE NEWS AT WASHINGTON
Government Officials Listen Eagerly
for the Returns

Washington, Nov. 3.-Great interest
was displayed by the citizens OF the
capital in the result of the elections
throughout the country. Early in
the evening large crowds congregated
in front of the newspaper bulletin
boards. In official circles the interest
was intense and many inquiries were
made as to the results, particularly In
Ohio and Maryland.
Owing to the absence of the president
his secretary and several members or
his cabinet, there was no. gathering at
the White House, where the returns
are usually received. OF the members
of the cabinet, Secretary Sherman
Secretary Bliss and Postmaster Gener-
al Gary went to their respective homes
to vote. Secretary Alger is on a visit
to Michigan, while Secretaries Long,
Wilson and Gage and Attorney General
McKenna are in the city.
They spent the evening either at
home or with friends, where they be-
came acquainted with the results of the
election. Assistant Secretaries Day,
Roosevelt and Meiklejohn, also went to
their respective homes to vote.

CHANGE OF 100000 VOTES
In New York State From Republican
to Democratic Column.

Albany, N. Y, Nov. 3.-The compile
ted returns from the state are coming
in slowly during the early hours of the
morning, demonstrate that the Repub-
Iican land slides of the past two years
have been reversed, if not by giving as
large majority for the Democrats, at
least by changing something like 240, 900
votes. Governor Blacks plurality in
the state last year was over 100000.
John Palmer, the Republican secretary
of state won the year previous by over
loo, 900. The indications are that these
enormous pluralities have been swept
away and a reverse plurality of be-
tween 10000 and SO, 900 is given. The
greatest surprises of the returns are
the great gains made in the assembly
by the Democrats, many of them being
in counties and districts where there
was no expectation on the part of DEM
Ocratic managers of winning RepuOli-
cans explain these gains by attributing
them to the heated municipal cam
paigns and the trading of votes. The
morning returns indicate that the Re
publicans will still control the assemb-
Iy although by largely decreased ma
jOrity.
More surprising perhaps. than the re-
turns on the state and assembly dis
trict tickets were results of the muni-
cipaI campaign in the large cities. New
York, Buffalo, Rochester, Binghamton,
Syracuse, Utica, Albany, Troy and
Schenectady elected Democratic may
Ors. In Albany the conditions were
very similar to those in New York Two
Republican candidates split up the vote
Gratis to win. The combined Republic
can vote was 1000 in excess of the
Democratic vote. In Buffalo and
Rochester Republican success was
thought to be almost assured prior to
election, but the results are foreign to
the predictions.

WHAT SETH Low SAYS.
Pledges His Support to Tammany if
it Undertakes Re form.

New York. Nov. 3.-The following
statement has been given out by Seth
Low:
1T is not possible to discuss the re-
suit of the election of New York city
at present moment without discrimina-
tiOn. A few things, I think, stand out
on the surface of the figures. The year
has been heavy Democratic year ev
erywhere. Tammany has felt the ad-
vantage of this strong tendency
L think this circumstance shows the
absolute necessity as it also shows the
difficulty of separating municipal from
are ever to be governed on their merits.
In the light of events it is clear that
the Citizens Union has made a gallant
fight for principles that are vital 1t
is better to have fought and lost in such
Z. cause than not to have fought at all.
There is no need to despair of good
government in the city when such
struggle could be made against such
odds. The returns show that there was
no possibility of Republican success on
a contest of party lines, nor is it easy to
imagine a time when in this city there
Will be.
For the sake of the city greatly de-
p1ore the result, and yet 1 would urge
all whom my voice may influence, not
to lose heart. We have laid the founda-
ton, it may well be hoped, for future
success, and ours is not the first cause
that has suffered at the outset a heavy
reverse.
Il bespeak for the new mayor and his
associates the cooperation of all my
supporters, as I pledge my own, in any
effort they may make to administer the
government of the city in the interests
of the DeOple.''

INTEREST GREAT IN N. z.
Crowds About the Bulletin Boards
Were as Large as Those Last Year.

Crowds About the Bulletin Boards
Were as Large as Those Last Year.
New York, Nov. 3.-The attraction of
the newspaper bulletin boards for the
crowds last night was not a whit less
than it was last year at presidential
election.
The streets in front of the bulletins
were jammed with people. With very
few exceptions every morning and eV-
ening paper in the city had bulletin
boards in front of its main office, while
some had them at branches. Some had
two and three big white sheets stretch
ed in front of their buildings, display
ing, with their election figures, photo
graphs and coIored views and the pic
lures of the candidates. From the
south side of Nassau street to the park
in front of the city hall, there were but
two lanes in the enormous mass of peO-
pie, and these lanes We're just wide
enough for one man to get through.
There was pushing and showing and
much grunting and some bad words,
but in general the crowd was good
natured and good tempered.
The crowd ran more to noise than
last year There were more horns
blowing than is usual on an election
night, and at times it seemed like New
Years eve, when Trinity's chimes are
drowned by the horn blowing. There
was much noise made by prOmenading
crowds of young men and boys.
In front of each white sheet was
masses was a conglomeration of people
of all parties.
The headquarters of Robert A. Van
Wyck, at the BarthOldi hotel, was the
scene of great joy as the returns began
to indicate a sweeping Tammany vic
tory. A score or more of people were
in the rooms, where the returns were
being received, and they cheered con-
tinuously. But it was a feast without
the host. MayOr-elect Van Wyck did
not appear at the headquarters at any
time during the night He left the
headquarters at 4 p. m, going TO the
police headquarters with former Mayor
Hugh J. Grant where he entered a
private room of the office of the boiler
inspector.
He stayed there until Il o'clock, re-
cefving returns. He then left, presuDa-
bly, for the Murray Hill hotel
It was expected that he would be at
the headquarters some time during the
night, but at 10 o'clock the mayor
elects private secretary, Alfred john
son, announced that he would not be
at the headquarters at all. He also said
that Judge Van Wyck could not be seen
at all.

1T WAS TOMATOES
Which Bad Boys Threw at Blind
Man, Not Rocks.

Mrs. Elmira Price rushed into JUS
tice Chesney's court with two rocks,
one in each hand. They were about
the size of base balls. The judge
thought that perhaps Mrs. Price was
intending assault and battery and he
commanded her to stop and state her
intentions. She said that some boys
under the leadership of Scott Thomp-
son had assaulted her husband, J. NJ.
Price, and had pelted him with rocks
and that the ones she had were among
the number used.
MY husband is Blind she said, "but
I saw who was doing it and want
them arrested
Judge Chesney looked at the rocks
and thought that if Mr.. Price had been
hit with any of them it was cause
enough to draw up a complaint. The
complaint was issued and the boys ar
rested. The case came up for trial
this morning. A jury was demanded
and summoned. Six men, tried and
true, stepped into their places and took
their seats. They scOwled at the cul-
prits and wondered how they could be
so cruel as to throw stones at a blind
man. The prosecution began asking
a few questions before the trial COM
menced and soon found out that a mis-
take had been made. The boys did
not throw rocks. By some optical
phenomena Mrs. Price had mistaken
the missiles for rocks when they were
tomatoes. The prosecution decided
that the difference between rocks and
tomatoes was so great that he would
dismiss the case. The jury and the
witnesses for the state received claims
for their fees and the case was dis
missed

THE efforts of trusts, of monopolies,

private, to control trade, choke cOmpe-

high prices will be withstoOd and beat
en- down.
Every child must have the right to
go to school Nor shall the school Sys-
tenn cease of enlargement until every
possible pupil can find fullest accom-
mOdatiOns.
ITO such rights and general benefits
as dollar gas have, in my letter of ac-
ceptance, as well as in the platform,
been pledged from the first. Those
pledges are not to be forgotten; those
promises are to be carried out.
LAS to such public Outrages as flour
iShed under the RaineS law, with all
the spying and .sneaking and mendacity
that under It grew up, cannot ada a
syllable to what I have already said.
These crimes against the people must
disappear; these encroachments upon
individual liberty and private rights
must end. These are not the middle
ages, nor is the city of Greater New
York Venice in the days of the dOges.
A city must have a city government; it
cannot be controlled by village rules or
run on village lines. The sooner some
folk come out of their dreams and rea-
lie these facts, the wiser, better, hap
pier folk they'll be.
The eight hour law should be en-
forced and, where practicable, resident
labor should be directly employed In
all cases the prevailing rate Of wages
should be paid.
LAS to the men I shall call to fill Of
flee under me, 1 will be frank and plain.
Put none but Democrats on guard
shall be the motto of my administra-
ton. Fitness and honesty and worth
as a citizen shall make up my first de-
mand in selecting men for an Off1ce.The
men I appoint to office must own this
trio of requisites. 1 must have proof
that the public is to be honestly, faith
fully, efficiently served, and that no
call of duty on the part of an official is
to be denied. I must know that the
man I name will do his whole, full duty
to this city.
But to find such a man for every
place of appointment under me need
not leave the ranks of the Democracy,
and I will not.
THAT is my notion of city govern
ment, and by that idea I will guide. L
do not do this on any to the victor be-
longs the spOils of the enemy senti-
ment. The sole proposal is good gov
ernment,accOrd1ng to the expr reSSed viii
of the people. These latter have de-
clared for the Democracy. I do not un-
derstand the policy or justice of going
to the enemy to select your officers.
while I shall call none but Demo-
Gratis to places of trust and power in
the carrying forward of the city'S bus
mess, this administration is not to be-
come in any sort partisan. In doing
my full duty to the public in that be-
half neither I nor those over whom by
my Office 1 have control will know any
difference of race, color, creed or poll
tics. As all share the burdens, so, too,

THE PEOPLE LIKE IT,
Is What the London Chronicle Says
of Croker's Rule.

London, Nov. 2-AlI the morning pa
pers print special cablegrams from
election. The Times, commenting
editorially on the election of Judge
Robert Van Wyck as the first mayor
of Greater New York says:
''It is clear that a majority of the
Democrats whom Mr.. George would
have rallied to his standard drifted
back, in the confusion due to his death,
to the Tammany camp; while the ina
bility of the Republicans and the re-
formers to come to terms has practic-
ally given the game over to the skilled
Tammany machine men.
IF Mr.. Low had been elected, an in
tried, though even a stronger man
than he might have found himself
Overmastered by his environment. We
know what use Tammany will make
of its victory. The merchants and
bankers, the wise and cultivated men,
the honest and philanthrOpic citizens,
will be as impotent under CrOker's
domination as the Italian or Hungar-
ian patriots under Metternich's be-
numbing rule, and who can deny that
the people love to have it So
The Daily Chronicle attributes Judge
Van Wyck's election to the death of
Henry George, and to the fact that the
Repu ubHcan party, though nominally
hostile to Tammany, really depends
for existence on q secret working alli-
ance with the sachems who follow
Croker's lead"
While expressing its regret and dis
appointment at the result the Daily
Chronicle would heartily congratulate
the New Y York reformers and their dis
tinguished standard bearer on the con-
duct of campaign which will be
prominent in American history.
The Daily News says:

clined to immediate itself on the altar

Will Have a Majority of Five in Leg
isIature on JOINT Ballot

Baltimore, Nov. 3-With semi-offfcial
returns from all the counties in the
state except st. Marys and Calvert and
fairly good estimates from there the
Democrats apepar to have elected
enough members to the next legislature
to give them a majority of five on joint
States senator to succeed Senator Cor
man. Official returns may be neces-
sary to decide the position of some of
the counties and these may altar the re-
suit but from the best obtainable fig
ures at this time the Democrats appear
to have a total of 81 legislative votes,
while the Republicans have 56. The
state senate will be Republican by a
majority of four, while the Democrats
appear to have captured the lower
house by a majority of nine.
