STREETS AND SEWERS.
Much Interesting Matter Pertaining to
Them Transacted by the Department.

The Street and Sewer Department last
evening had Contractor Stidham before
it for the purpose of jarring him up. Last
week there was considerable trouble with
the ash collecting which Collector Std
ham exp aimed ns due to the bad weather
This did not altogether suit President
Pratt and Director Webster who told the
Collector that no further delay would De
tolerated. Should Mr.. Stidham DO I'M
able to promptly collect the ashes, the do

1t was decided to ask the Wilmington
City Railway Company to only put sin.
Gle track on Front street from Shipley to
Justison, instead of q double truck, Rs was
the intention of the company. The board
thinks single track will not Interfere

munication to the board stating that he
had received instructions from Washing

ment remove three trees on King street In

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Senator German May Have Three
Majority for Reflection
BUT THE REPUBLICANS DENY IT.

In tho city of baltimore the Republic
cans Have Elected Their Entire
Municipal Ticket and win Control
10th Branches of Councils.
Baltimore, Nov. 3-Tne Republicans
have elected their municipal ticket in
Baltimore by majorities ranging from
1000 to 5000, but the state ticket Is In
doubt, and there Is some reason for be-
lieving that the Democrats have carried
the legislature and that United States
Senator German may succeed himself.
Official returns from the state are of
the most n,eager and unsatisfactory
character, SO that even the chairman
of the state central committee hesitates
to express an unqualified opinion as to
the state and legislative tickets con-
sentative estimate, based upon partial
returns, indicate that the Democrats
will have 60 votes on joint ballot, while
the Republicans will have 81. The list
of delegates and senators elected yes
terday by each party will probably be
as follows:
Republiean-Allegany, 6; Anne Arun-
del. 4; Baltimore city, 10; Charles, 3;
Frederick, s; Garrett, 8; Hartford. 1;
Prince Georges, 4; Somerset, 3. Total,
49,
emocratic--Baltimore county, s;
Calvert, s; Caroline, 3; Carroll, 4; Cecil,
4; Dorchester, 4; Hartford, 4; Howard,
2; Kent, 2; Montgomery, 4; Queen
Anne, 8; st. Mary's, 3; Talbot, 4; Wico-
mico, 8; Washington, a Worcester, 4
Total, 81.
There are 70 hold over senators, of
whom are Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, as follows:
Observation-Disclosures of Somerset,
Westcott of Kent, Emory of Baltimore
county, Dober and Strobridge of Bal
timore city, Randall of Anne Arundel,
Day of Howard. Norwood of Frederick
and Scott of Washington.
The Democratic "hold overs" are
Jackson Of Wicomico, Finley Of Queen
Anne and Herring Of Carroll When
these are added to the list of those
chosen yesterday the totals will be-:
Republicans. 81; Democrats, GO.
As an offset to this estimate Chair
man Scott, Of the Republican state
central committee, issued the follow
in statement.
Chairman Scott, of the Republican
state committee. gave out the following
written statement at midnight:
Il am very well satisfied with the re-
silt, so far as heard from. We have
carried Baltimore city, including the
three legislative districts, by at least
5000 majority, and our advices from
the state Indicate that the Republicans
will send successor to Mr.. German to

Topeka, Kan. Nov, Nov. 3.-Prac-
tire pesun yesteruat's 'cIectlons. Both
the Republicans and fusionists are
claiming to have elected a majority Of
the - district judges voted for, but
their claims are indefinite. In the
Atchison district, Ex-Governor Click,
fusionst, has been defeated for state
senator by r. T. Andrews, Republican.
No figures are to be had as to the cleo
ton of the other state senator and the
four members Of the lower house
elected to fill vacancies. In Wyandottc
county. in which is Kansas City, the
Republicans elected their full ticket
with the exception Of the coroner by
pluralites ranging from 200 to 1000.
Bryan carried the county by rs votes.
In this (Shawnee) county. the Republic
cans have substantial majority. From
only about score of the 105 counties
have definite results been received as
to the election of county offlc $. and
those counties are about equclly di-
vided between the Republicans and tho
fusonists.

A Count of the Ballots shows Sub.
stantlal Democratic Gains.
Des Moines Ia, Nov. 3.--The returns
from about one-fourth of the zoos pre-
cincts of the state show that the Re-
publican plurality will be about 1900.
These returns include both city and
county precincts, and 1t is believed
that the ratio established there by
them will be substantially maintained.
The ratio of Democratic gain has been
about 90 to a precinct for nearly 500
precincts. That will give the Demo-
Gratis net gain in the state of about
1900,
The legislative ticket returns are slow
in coming in, The best estimates oh
tainable here give to the senate 36 Re-
publicans, II Democrats and two dis
tricts in doubt. OF the members of the
house rrnbdbly s. out Of The 100 will be
Republicans, giving them safe work
ing majority in both houses. The gold
Democratic vote runs less than three
to a 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 prnha "
amount to 5000 in the state. The Mid
le-of- the-Road POluist vote Is incon-
Seuuential.

The Result Of the Election.


Tho issue has boon made for the Mayor
of Greater New York mud Judge N'n
Wyck has been overwhelmingly elected by
O plurality of rs, 900 votes, Low came next
with l5G,000 votes cast for him and General
Tracey received lO5.u0o votes while the
George movement didn't amount to hair
tho noise made about it in tho newspapers,
only ~, 900 votes being cast for 1t. Atno
time hasit been dangerous and Judge Van
Wycks election has bonn conceded from
the first although tho only and great Every
Evoning was predicting Lows election III
every issue for the past two weeks. AS
Lows candidacy had been forced on the
party, no met his just deserts and as a H.
publican and party man, we arc glad OF
1t. We don't think much of mugwumps
and have no use for the man who sits on
the fence, waiting to SEQ which side Is VIC
torious, SO that he can drop ON the winning
side. Tho election of Judge VAN Wyck,
as Mayor Of Greater Now York means
Democrat President in 1900, If the present
administration insists on living up to tho
Civil Service laws. A Democratic Presi-
dent would mean clean sweep of all the
present office holders.
Maryland goes Republican by small
majority. New Jersey still holds to the
Republican column. The Republicans
claim Ohio by reduced majority. Vir-
ginia is conceded to the Democrats. The
Baltimore Sun comedies Maryland has
electeda Republican Legislature, which
means the deleat Of Senator German.
Nebraska has repudiated Bryan and FREQ
silver and taken its place in the Republican
column. Kentucky is still said to be in
doubt. The election returns arc not yet
all authenticated and will not be till some
time this evening, but enough is known
of the New York vote to tell our readers
that mug wumpism has received u black

~ 81, New Ysfk City. sB -
London. Nov. a-All the morning
papers print Npeciaf 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: TT Is clear that 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 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 philan-
tropic citizens will be as impotent UNI
der CroEer'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 secret working al
lance with the sachems who follow
Croker's lead.
While expressing its regret and dis
appointment at result, The Daily
Chronicle would heartily congratulate
the New York refornlers and their dis
tinguished standard bearer on the con-
duct of the campaign which will be
prominent In American history.
The Daily News says: THE Republic
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"
