After a stormy meeting the resolution
was defeated. and Van Wyck was cast out
of the general committee. He then became
prominent in movement that developed
into the county de.nccracy, and carried on
relentless crusade against Tammany and
John Kelly.
At a convention of tina county democracy
In October. 1881. Mr.. Van Wycls was nomi-
mated for judge of the marine court but
was defeated by Hyatt, republican. Van
Wyck continued to boom the county leploc-
racy and was neminA.ed fof police justice
by Mayor Grace, with Andrew J. White.
When the county democracy expired Mr.
Van Wyck got back Under the r:.mnanv
tent. He WAS elected Judge Of the city
court November 8. 1889
He was arrested for disorderly conduct
two months later. at the French ball. In
company with two women and friend
Mr.. Van Wyck went to the Metropolitan
Opera House to take in the revels. 1T was
tes ia.e when they got there and the festvi
offered 500 bill at the office for hox,
but all were sold, so he bought admission
tickets
Mr.. Van Wyck went out into the lobby,
and a policeman refused to let him return.
After dispute with Sergeant Schm1tt tber-
ger he was arrested. He was discharged in
court. the policeman not appearing.
Mr.. Van Wyck was elected chief justice
oi the city court July 23 1885, to succeed
5. NJ. Ehrlich, deceased. and the following
November was elected a judge of the city
court on the Tammany ticket.
Returns Come an Slowly
ALBANY, N. Y, November 3-The COM
pieted returns from the state are COM
ing in slowly, and demonstrate that the
republican landslides of the past two years
have been reversed, if not by giving as
large a majority for the democrats, at
votes.
,,J,,
last year was over 100000. John Palmer
the republican secretEr! of state won the
year previous by over 100000. The indica-
t1ons are that these enormous p.uralities
nave been swept away and u reverse plu-
ralfly of between 10000 and $4,000 is given
The greatest surprises OF the returns are
the great gains made In the assembly by
the democrats, many of them being in
counties and districts where there was no
expectation on the part of democratic man
ayers of winning. Republicans explain
these gains by attributing them to the
heated municipal campaigns and the trad
ing or votes. The morning returns indicate
that the republicans will still control the
assembly. although by very largely de-
creased majority.
Big Cities Go Democratic
More surprising, perhaps, than the re-
turns on the state and assembly district
tickets were the results OF the municipal
campaigns in the large cities. New York,
buffato. Rochester Bfnghanaton, Syracuse,
Utica, Albany. Troy and Schenectady elect
ed democratic mayors Ia Albany the con-
ditions were very similar to these in New
York. Two republican candidates split up
the vote OF that party and allowed the
democrat to win. The combined republican
vote was 1000 in excess OF the democratic
vote. In Buffalo and Rochester republican
success was thought TO be almost assured
prior to election, butt the results are for
elSn to the predict ions. y

Special Dispatch 20 The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, November at looks
this morning as if the republicans had car
ifed both the state and the legislature by
small najorities. The Ohio republicans
have had harrow escape from defeat
however, even if, indeed. they are now out
Of the woods.
The morning returns make several
changes in the legislative phase of the
election, but still the republicans claim
majority of two on joint ballot, with five
seats yet in doubt. Cuyahoga county,
placed as doubtful early this morning, is
known to have elected a solid republican
legislative delegation, the lowest plurality
being 800. Summit, Lucas and Delaware
counties, however, all usually republican.
have sent democrats to the legislature. The
democrats have captured at least two OF
the three senatorial seats in the thirty
third district and may get the two in the
ninth and fourteenth districts.
Unless they also break into the column
claimed by the republicans elsewhere thew

BRYAN Is ENCOURAGED.
Results OF Yesterday, He Thinks.
Favorable to Silver

isesoits OF Yesterday, He Thinks.
Favorable to Silver
LINCOLN, Neb. November 3.-Mr. Rrvar
today gave out the following statement;
To the Associated Press: The returns are
SO incomplete that it is impossible to dis
cuss yesterdays election in detail. The
republicans everywhere indorsed the re-
publican administration, and, in view of
losses sustained by them in almost every
state. 1t would seem that republican poli-
tics are not being indorsed at the polls
The sentiment in favor of the Chicago
platform shows healthy growth through
out the country. Perhaps our opponents
Will now admit that silver is not dead.
The attempt to secure international hi
metailism has proved q failure and IL is
now more apparent than ever that the peo-
pie OF the United States must legislate for
themselves on the financial question.
Free and unlimited coinage at lG to 1 is
nearer now than 1t was a year ago. High
tarin. upon a gold basis, has disappo:n.ed
those republicans who looked to ii for re-
lief. Taken as a whcle. the returns are
very encouraging.
1 think i voice the sentiments of demo-
Gratis. populists and silver republicans when
say the fight will be continued with even
more earnestness until the gold monopoly
Is broken and the money trust is over
thrown. The fusion forces increase their
in Nebraska, and probably their
actual majority.

10000 to 100000. Coler's plurality over
Fitch. republican, for controller. is over
100000. Both Van Wyck and Coler were
free silver adherents in 1896.
Alton B. Parker. the democratic candi-
date for judge of the state court of appeals
carried Greater New York by 10000, and
his total plurality over Wallace, republican
below the Bronx river will not be less than
10S,0O0 insuring his election and democratic
success in the state
Like u Presidential Election.
Such rush to the polls has never been
known, except in presidential years. Rainy
Gather failed to dampen civic enthusiasm.
The registration was abnormal. The total
Of 561,256 was only 11,452 behind that OF
1896 Last year only 6.66 per cent failed
to vote for President, and the estimated
total vote this year of 600 shows that
the falling off does not much exceed that
of 1896.
The vote for Tracy, the republican may
orally candidate. was divided by the caG-
didacy of Seth Low upon a citizens ticket
Low was second and Tracy third in the
contest. The George vote was inconsider-
able. The death of its leader evidently dis
integrated his following, and thousands evi-
IDENTIFY voted for Tammany candidates. 1;
is claimed that young George lost many
votes through the failure of inspectors to
affix his paster to mayoralty tickets.
The Unofficial Vote.
The unofficial vote for mayor of Greater
New York follows: Van Wyck 235, $50; Low,
149.S73: Tracy, 1O1, $685. George 20, 1856; Glea-
sen, 521.
The vote for Van Wyck is about 4425
Ler cent of the total vote cast or less than
the 1921 per cent cast for Bryan in 1896 in
the same territory.

Fight Wns Hard One
Senator Hanna's victory was a hard
fought one. 1t was against the most bit
ter factional opposition that ever faced a
prominent man in this country. Mayor
Mckiss"n, with the entire municipal adj
hihlstrat1on, was arrayed against the SEN
ator. and was openly fighting him. For
aKef s friends through the state were luke
warm. and many times during the battle
Mr.. Hanna was greatly discouraged. The
colored men in Ohio, too, were strongly
against the republicans. Professional labor
agitators were against Mr.. Hanna's cleo
ton tooth and nail The senator swent
everything aside and won despite oppo-
sition.
Charles +. Dick, secretary of the renuh-
licah hationai committee and manager of
senator Hanna's legislative canvass, this
morning made the following claim as to the
legislature:
on JOINT ballot the republicans will have
20; the democrats, 62; doubtful, g. In case
all now In doubt go democratic Mr.. Hanna
Will still have a majority OF on joint bal
lot and his election to the Senate is as

Later Mr.. Dick conceded two of tba
doubtful legislative districts to democrats
He added: There cannot be the slightest
doupt OF the election of Mr. Hanna by a
majority of two on joint ballot. This NAV
