The pen was of gold and the ink tube of silver, and, according to Jefferson s letter, the mak- CT was a Richmond watch repairer named Cowan.

OHIO WENT REPUBLICAN
Claimed by the Chairmen of
 Both Committees
Fusion In Nebraska lmpregnable Against the Assaults of Pros perity and RepubI,Canism-Th South Resumes It's Solldiry.

The country will find no healthful tion figures of yesterday. The tri- umph of Tammany is especially to be deplored, though when the contribut- ing causes come to be considered, the result is not surprising. The disin- tegrated republican party and the pitt full weakness of the Jeffersonian de- mocracy were powerless against boodleism. The result in Ohio without doubt victory, was not so overwhelm- ing as was desired. Whatever disap- pointment may have resulted might not have been unlocked for in an of year. The vote was the 1ightest known in years and the day was gen. orally indictment, such as is known in Ohio as "a democratic election day."
 The successful fusion Tn Nebraska only proves that Bryanism and free silver have not yet succumbed in that state to the earlier influences of pros perity. That Kentucky and Mary land have probably gone democratic has created no surprise. The issues were local. Voters merely had re- sum'ad the old party fight interrupted by the overwhelming national issues of a year ago. In Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Iowa the figures are gratifying.

THE NEW GOVERNMENT.

The legislative branch of the city government is Tammany democratic. It is a double headed body, one branch being the municipal council, consist ing ot a president and twenty-eigh members, and the other a board of all dermen, comprising fifty members. The precise number of democrats chosen cannot be stated now. There appears to be strong probability that the democrats have won a majority of the county and borough offices, along with municipal places in New York and Kings counties.
 The straight republican vote shows a falling off of nearly 175,000, while the Tammany vote equals, if it does not slightly exceed, that cast for Bryan. The polling came within fifty of the entire registration.

The Cause and the Result of

THE DEATH OF HENRY GEORGE

The UnWiilingneSs of the Repub- lican Party to Sacrifice Itself to the Cause of Good Government Did the Rest.

London, Nov. AM the morning papers print special eablegrams from New York city giving the result of the election. The Times, commenting editcrially on the election of Judge Van Wyck. says: ''It is clear that a. majority of democrats whom Mr. George would have rallied to his standard, drifted back in confusion, due to his death, to the Tammany camp, while the inability of the repub- licans and reformers to come to terms has practically given the game Ath6 Tammany machine men.

 We know what use Tammany will make of it's victory. Merchants and bankers, wise and cultivated men, bon est and philanthropic citizens will be as pliant under Croker's domination as the Italian or Hungarian patriots were under Metternich's rule, and who can deny that the people love 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 nominally hostile to Tammany, really depends for it's existence on a secret working alliance with the sachems who follow Croker's lead.
 The Daily News says: "The repub- lican machine has declined to immo- late itself on the altar of good gov ernment The only chance for de mocracy coming out well from its trial in New York lay in the defeat of the party system, but party disci- pline' and party loyalty are not easily broken.

TEE TRADE COMPLETED

PurchaS. by the Reorgan izai ion Ccmmi tee Yesterday of the First MortRsae Bonds mounting to more Than Fifty Millions.

Omaha, Nct, lToS> 2.-The yaorga- nization committee of the Union Pa cific which yesterday bought the gov ernment lien or second mortgage on the proparty of the Union Pacific, to- day purchased the first mortgage on the same property by which the con- struction bonds were secured. The price paid was the amount named as the minimum bid of $50, ,637 ,435 The property was bought, as was the sec ond mortgage, in the name of Louis Fitzgerald and Alvin Krech, as pur- chasing trustees.
 This concludes tha sale and as there is no other property to be sold, the thing is finished. The report of the sale made yesterday was filed today in the office of the clerk of the United States court. The report cited that the order of sale was issued by Judge Sanborn and in accordance with the provisions of that order it mentions that representative of the purchasers deposited with the master, within the proper time, certified check for $2,O0O,000 as a guarantee cn the bid for the property and another certified check for s1,364,525 to cover the sale of the sinking fund bonds.
 The master says that when the prop erty was offered for sale Louis Fitz- gerald and Alvin W. Krech, repre- senting the purchasers, offered $39,- 883, ,2S1.87 for the railroad and its franchises, and S13,645,25G for the sinking fund bonds; that these bids were the only ones offered and were accepted, the agents of the purchasers depositing with the master a certified check for s4,1O0,OO0 to guarantee the fulfillment of the bids.
 The fee which the master, who made the sales yesterday and today, will receive for his work is estimated at s100,000. It may be over, and it may be something under.
