Comments of the London Press on
Election of Van WycIx

Comments of the London Press ON the
Election of Van Wyck.
LONDON, Nov 2--The afternoon news
papers here published columns of matter
to-day devoted to the municipal election of
Greater New York. The gossip and pre-
dictions generally expressed the opinion
that Judge Van Wyck would win. The
charge frequently made that the English
newspapers do not devote enough attention
to American affairs is untenable in the
present case. The st. James Gazette this
afternoon points out that yesterdays mu-
nicipal elections In England are quite over
Swallowed by the New York election. Thou
sands of Englishmen who are quite familiar
with the personalities of Messrs. Low, Van
Wyck and Tracy are entirely ignorant of
the fact that their own local rulers were
changed in the course of yesterday, as the
account of these English elections are only
to be seen in obscure corners of the Eng
lish newspapers.
All the morning papers print special tele-
grams from New York city. giving the re-
ing editorially on the election of Judge Rob-
ert Van Wyck as the first mayor of Greater
New YORK, says: 1T is clear that ma
jority 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 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
experiment would have been tried, though
even a stronger man than he might have
found himself overmaStered by his environ
ment. 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 Crokers domination as
the Italian or Hungarian patriots were I'M
der Metternich's benumbing rule. and who
can deny that the people love to have it
SOP"
The Daily Chronicle, also, attributes
Judge Van Wyck's election to the death of
Henry George and to the fact that the Re-
publican party, though nominally hostile to
Tammany really depends for its existence
on a secret working alliance with the
sachems who follow Cookers lead" While
expressing it's regret and disappointment al
the result, the Daily Chronicle would hearth
ly congratulate the New York, reformers
and their distinguished standard bearer on
the conduct of a campaign which will be
prominent in American history.
The Daily News says: The Republican
machine has declined to immediate Itself or
the altar of good government. The only
chance for Democracy coming out well from
its trial i'm New York lay in the defeat OF
the party system, but party discipline and
party loyalty are not easily broken"

BRYAN OWNS HIS OWN STATE.
Nebraska Still I'm Control of the Demo-
POpulfst FusiOnists.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 2.-Nebraska to-
day renewed her allegiance to fusion by
electing the three candidates on that ticket
by pluralities ranging from 10000 to %, 000
Nothing like complete returns have been re-
ceived or will be received tonight, but
enough are in to measure the result and in
dictate a greater fusion victory than in the
presidential year.
From fusion headquarters the following
was given out: 1--WE have carried Nebraska
for the fusion ticket by a plurality of from
10000 to $4,000. Together with the magnifi-
cent victory for the state ticket we have
carried a majority OF the county tickets
The causes leading to the result is a de-
termination on the part of the people of
Nebraska to demand more and better money
through the free and unlimited coinage of
gold and silver
Chairman Mercer of the Republican COM
mittee, is sick at his home in Omaha. Sec
rotary SiZer was unwilling to make any
statement in the absence of more complete
returns.
The State Journal, Republican, on returns
from seventy precincts outside of Lincoln
and Omaha comedies defeat for the Repub-
lican state ticket
At :30 o'clock this "wednesday morning
124 precincts outside of Lincoln and Omaha
had been received by the State Journal
showing a net fusion gain of 1,221.
If this ratio of gain is maintained the flu
sion plurality for the State, outside the two
cities mentioned, will be very close to 20 900.
Lancaster and Douglas counties cannot cut
this down more than four thousand, and
unless material Republican gains are made
in towns without telegraphic service the
fusion plurality will remain at between
twelve and sixteen thousand.
Mr.. Bryan, who is at his home, was asked
for an expression of opinion on Nebraska
in particular, and the country in general
Further than to say that the state returns
were gratifying he declined to make any
statement until he had more carefully
studied the figures.

$4,000; for Williams, Democrat, $4,000 and
Everett, National Democrat of about 49,,

Correct returns from S4S cities and towns

towns last year gave Prince, 1424S; Viii

small towns, aggregating less than 400, are
necessary to complete the vote of the State.

me tremendous majority which last year
elected Governor Wolcott fell off consider
ably, while George Fred Williams, the DEM
ocratic leader also suffered but not nearly
as much. Last year the Republicans, after
a vigorous campaign on national issues,
rolled up vote of 25SO but such was the
to $4,000, plurality of $1,000 over Williams.
The Democrats. pursuing a more vigorous
course received 1900 votes, as compared
with 100000 last year, while the National
Democrats not only came within 100 of their
vote or 1851 last year, but actually made
gain Of per cent. in ratio to the vote OF
the state, and obtaining more than the
necessary per cent, will continue to hold
a place on the state ticket. In ratio to last
year, the Republican vote fell off 30 per
cent, the Democratic 10 and the National
Democratic per cent
There were few close contests for seats
in either branch of the Legislature, but,
singularly enough nearly all resulted in
victory for the Democrats, so that there
will be four less Republicans in the 1898
House than in 1897. AS the Republican ma
jorty will be about 1873 the few defeats will
make no difference. The Senate will remain
unchanged-thirty-fou Republicans and six
Democrats.
There was one congressional contest-in
the First district-made necessary by the
death of Hon. Ashley 3. Wright, and here
the Republican candidate Hon. George p.
Lawrence, was successful.

Ex-Governor Matthews Finds Conn
fort in the Ohm ResuIt.

Ex-Governor Matthews Finds Conn
fort i'm the Ohio Result.
The result of the elections excited fairly
general interest here, but it was rather the
interest of curiosity than that of enthusi-
asm. The points of interest were the New
York municipal fight and the Ohio senatori-
al result. The bulletin boards attracted a
few hundred people, but the crowds were
not demonstrative. The silver Democrats
could not find much consolation in the tri-
umph of Tammany, for they bore in mind
the fact that Tammany had repudiated the
Chicago platform. Nor did they get much
out of the Ohio result, for the possibility of
McLean's election to the Senate was not
particularly pleasing. The Indiana Demo-
Gratis are not particularly fond of Mclean.
There was dearth of politicians about the
hotels and strangely enough, more interest
was displayed at the Bates than at any
other hotel. There a number OF New York
commercial travellers had gathered and
watched with interest the returns from the
metropolis.
Ex-Governor Matthews was the only
politician of magnitude in sight, and he was
found entering the Grand Hotel 1T is good
news all around said he, land l am pa
ticularly gratified with the prospect of
Democratic victory in Ohio. There the fight
was made Squarely upon national issues,
and it was peculiarly the test of the popu-
larity of the administration. Even II Hanna
pulls through, it is great victory for
the Republican majority down so low. The
New York campaign was interesting, but
it was a thing by itself Nobody outside of
New York understands New York politics"

Returns Meagertn COLORADO.

DENVER, Col, Nov. 2.-The election in
this city passed off in the quietest manner
imaginable, with hardly an arrest and very
little challenging. The vote was but~iittle
over half that cast last year. Returns re-
ceived from the city up to IL o'clock indi-
cate the election of most if not all of the
candidates of the silver Republicans by
pluralities ranging from few hundred up
to two or three thousand. Bulletins of the
results are being shown at the newspaper
offices, but there are no large crowds on the
streets and very little enthusiasm is dis
played.
Returns from the State are too meager
to warrant anything more than a guess on
the result. AT silver Republican headquar-
1000 to 10000 plurality while the Popu-
lists and Democrats claim Gabbert's cleo
ton by 5000.

Two Newspaper Estimates.

CLEVELAND. Nov. 2.-The Leader says:
Governor Bushnell has carried Ohio by a
majority of from 10000 to 25.OOO This in
sures the election of a Republican majority
in the General Assembly and the return of
Marcus A. Hanna to the United States SEN
ate In this city and Cuyahoga county the
Republican ticket has a majority of from
1900 to 5000. and three Republican senators
and nine Republican representatives in the
Legislature are elected"
The Plain Dealer made the following
statement at 1880 tonight: THE Repub-
lican legislative ticket is running 10 per
cent. behind the state ticket, and the state
ticket is losing in Cleveland an average of
twenty-five per precinct. This detection
will reduce the Republican plurality to a
close margin, though it is probable that the
Republican state and legislative tickets will
be elected. Sufficient returns are in to indi-
cate that the Republicans will carry Cuya-
hoga county, Senator Hanna'S home, by a
meager plurality

tive estimate at il o'clock tonight places

cratic candidate for mayor over George D.
Todd, the present incumbent, at from 5000

doubtedly elected with him. Contrary to
the expectations of many, the election was
a comparatively quiet one. There was not
q great deal of scratching, and the minor

CHANCE FOR GoRNiAN
Republicans Carried Baltimore, but
the LegisInture Is Close.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 2.-The Republicans
have elected their municipal ticket in Bal
timore by majorities ranging from 1900 to
5000, but the state ticket is in doubt, and
there is some reason for believing 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 meagre and unsatis-
factory character, so that even. the chair
men of the state central committees hest
tate to express an unqualified opinion as
to the result on the state and legislative
tickets. A conservative estimate based
upon partial returns indicate that the
Democrats will have sixty votes on joint
ballot, while the Republicans will have fif-
ty-seven. The list of delegates and sena-
tors elected to-day by each party will prob
ably be as follows:
Republicans-Allegany, s; Anne Arundel
4: Baltimore city, 10; Charles 3; Frederick,
D; Garrett, 3; Hartford, L; Prince Georges
4; Somerset 5. Total, 4S.
Observation-Disclosures county, 6; Calvert

ter, 4; Hartford, a. Howard, 2; Kent, e.
Montgomery, A; Queen Anne, 8; st. Marys

Worcester, 4. TOTAL, 81.
There are twelve ''hold-over'' senator's of
which nine are Republicans and three Dem
ocrats When these are added to the list of
those chosen to-day, the total will be: Re-
publicans, 81; Democrats, 60.

KANSAS RETURNS SLOW.
Nothing Definite VIII BE known Until
Some Time To-Day.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Nov. g. - At 10
o'clock Kansas returns have been received
from but half dozen outlying counties out
Of 105 in which elections were held. AS the
tickets were entirely local it is impossible
at this hour, and will be before tomorrow,
to give an estimate at all approaching re-
liability. In no State were the returns
slower in coming in during the last cleo
tions, perhaps, than in Kansas, and this
year will not be an exception to the rule.
In Kansas City, Kan, the first city in the
State, the Republicans will probably elect
their entire ticket, with the exception of
coroner, surveyor and clerk of the Court OF
Common Pleas, by small majorities The
weather during the day was perfect, but the
registration had been light, following an
apathetic campaign, and the vote polled was
only moderate, even for an off year. The
fuslonist and Republican managers still
make about the same claims as yesterday.
The fusionists say they will elect majority
of the thirteen district judgeships and about
two-thirds of the 105 sets of county officers.
The Republicans claim at least half of the
judgeships and a majority of the county
officers.
The Republicans carried Shawnee county,
of which Topeka is the seat, by majorit1eS
ranging from 1000 to 5000.
