said: 1.-The returns from Pennsylvania
show that the Republican party and it's
management have been severely re-
buked By the people, Notwithstanding
the small vote. DR.. Swallow has re-
ceived highly complimentary vote in
many localities. Though many Demo-
Gratis voiced their protest by voting for
Swallow instead of their own ticket,
yet the gains shown by Brown and
Ritter indicate that the people are not
averse to sustaining the Democratic
| party when the candidates are clean
and honest This election indicates that
in 1898 the congressional and guberna-
torial elections will probably be favor
able to the Democrats
Returns from the state Indicate that

WHAT LoNDoNERs THINK.
Editorial Comments on the Result In
New York City.

New York City.
London, Nov. 3.-All the morning
papers print special kilograms from
New York city giving the results OF the
election. The Times, commenting edi-
torially on the election OF Judge Van
Wyck as the first mayor OF greater
New York, says: ''It is clear that a ma
jority OF the Democrats whom Mr..
George would have rallied to his stan
dard drifted back in the confusion due
to his death, to the Tammany camp,
while the inability of the Republicans
and the reformers to come to terms has
practically given the game over to the
skilled Tammany machine men If Mr..
Low had been elected an interesting ex-
pertinent would have been tried, though
even q stronger man than he might
have found himself overmastered by
his environment. We know what use
Tanamany will make OF it's victory. The
merchants and bankers, the wise and
cultivated men, the honest and philan-
tropic citizens will be as impotent un-
der Croker's domination as the italian
or Hungarian patriots were under Met
ternich's benumbing rule. And who can
deny that the people live to have 1t sop
The Daily Chronicle also attributes
Judge Van Wyck's election to the death
Of Henry George and to the fact that
the Republican party, though nominal
ly hostile to Tammany, really depends
for its existence on a secret working al
lance with the sachems who follow
Cookers lead.
While expressing its regret and dis
appointment at the result, The Daily
Chronicle would heartily congratulate
the New York reformers and their dis
tinguished standard bearer on the con-
duct Of the campaign which Will be
prominent in American history.
The Daily News says: 1.-THE Republi-
can machine has declined to immediate
itself on the altar Of good government.
The only chance for Democracy coming
out well from its trial In New York lay
In the defeat OF the party system. but
party discipline and party loyalty are
not easily broken"

THE VOTE OF IOWA.

A Count or the Ballots Shows Sub
stantial Dem Gains.
Des Moines. Ia. Nov. 3.-The returns
from about one-fourth Of the zoos pre-
cincts or the state show that the Re-
publican plurality will be about 1900.
These returns include both city and
county precincts, and IT Is believed
that the ratio established there by
them will be substantially maintained.
The ratio of Democratic gain has been
about % to a precinct for nearly SEQ
precincts. That will give the Demo-
Gratis a net gain IN the state OF about
1900.

ing majority in both houses. The gold
Democratic vote runs less than three
to precinct, but will probably reach
5000 or 5000 votes in the state. The Pro-
hibition vote is a little heavier than the
gold Democratic vote. 1t will probably
amount to 5000 in the state. The Mid
dle-of-the-Road Pcpulist vote is incon-
BeQuential.

In Virginia is briefly told Although
there was unusual apathy, it is esti-
mated that the Democratic state ticket
is elected by about $1,000 or $4,000 ma
3ority, and that the Democrats have
two-thirds OF the house OF delegates
and four-ffths Of the senate. Barring
one little episode in Berkeley. near Nor

tional fight. there was absolutely no
excitement. Neither party polled any
thing like a full vote. The reelection

Tho London Sparrow.

In his old haunts among the bricks and
mortar tho London sparrow is far more
particular in the choice of site for his
nest than might be thought. Conscious Of
the ever present danger from cats, he seeks
a hollow in II perpendicular wall face. 1t
does not matter whether this is among the
limbs of a statue in niche or the pedi-
ment Of Palladian window, but any
proximity TO the line Of roof cat haunted
and therefore dangerous, is avoided. I'm
like the rats, the London sparrows do not
desert falling house. Those which are
advertised fer sale and demolition and are
consequently covered with large frames for
bill posting are in great request with them.
Tho spaces between the bill frames and the
walls to which they are bOlted are safe and
commOdiOus nesting grounds, and the iron
spikes, pegs of wood and lodges of the
frames make capital perches.
Some houses adjoining those demolished
to make a way to the Hotel Cecil and doc
Grated with advertisements are blessed
with a few sparrow families living be.
tween the advertisement boards and tho
wall and getting the greater part of thor
living from the oats dropped from tho
nosobags of the horses on the cab stand
near the hotel Others have nGsted be-
hind the carving over the windows in At
tenborough's shop. But in the case of rows
of houses they seem to avoid the cutters,
which are their pet nesting places on de-
tached residences. The probable reason is
that in terraces cats traverse the whole Of
the roof and gutter line and can claw out
any broods within reach of their nightly
