-EEFEoTs OF BAD WEATHER..
The polling came within about 5O,-
]OOo Of the entire registration, which,
considering the weather conditions
under Which the elections proceeded,
was all that could be expected. The
day was wet, foggy, muggy to q de-
gree. 1t was such a day as, in the
years gone by, when voters lined up
in the streets to wait their chances
to cast their ballots, to the Judges
inside, wss called "good Democratic
weather." Under the altered condi-
tions, the voting being done within
doors, this characterization cannot
we'll apply. There was a general
suspension of business, and nearly
everybody who was qualified had the
opportunity Of voting 1t was only
in outlying sections that the exercise
of the right Of franchise was attend
ed with any Inconvenience. At
night the whole city was alivo to the
occasion. Bulletin boards, search
lights, newspaper extras, readers on
the stages of scores of theatres, told
the story Of the election. The jubi-
iant had recourse to the discordant
fish horn for expression of their joy,
while the saloons, closed during the
hourn the voting was in progress, did
business on scale that promised to
compensate for the period of enforced
thirst. The enthusiasm in the vioini-
ty Of Tammany Hall was particular
ly great.
VAN wYCK MAKES NO FUSS.
The headquarters of Robert A.
Van Wyck, at the Bartholdi Hotel,
was the scene Of great joy as the re-
turns began to indicate a sweeping
Tammany victory. A score or more
OF people we're in the room where the
returns were being received, aud they
cheered continually. 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
IA 2. m, going to police headquarters
with former. Mayor Hugh j. Grant,
where he entered a~.private room in
the office of the boiler inspector: He
STAYED there until T O'Clock receiyinp
returns. He then left, presumably
for the Murray Hill Hotel.
1t was expected that he would be
at the headquarters some time dur
ing the night, but at 10 o'clock the
mayor elects private secretary, AL
fred Johnson, announced that he
would not be at the headquarters at
all and conld not be seen. He also
said that Judge Van Wyck could not
be seen at ALL
REPUBLICAN WATERLOO.
Chairman Quigg, of the Republi-
can city and county committee, was
very glum, and left the headquarters
at $40 O'Clock. He refused to make
a formal statement, and was very
loath to discuss the situation. At
the headquarters there were a few
prominent Republicans present, and
