Thayer Beats Walker BY a
Small Majority.
Worcester District Sends Democrat to
Congress---Personal Popularity of
the Winning Candidate.

The defeat of Congressman Walker at 1
the hands of John r. Thayer was the
only topic of conversation on the streets
last night after the result of the contest
had been announced.
When it was known late in the after
noon that Thayer's gains were piling
up with alarming rapidly. the friends
of Mr.. Walker grew a trihe nervous,
but they were still confident that their
candidate would win out. They expect
ed that he would be harshly dealt with
in this city, but looked for more support
in the outlying towns of the district
than was received. Some of these towns
were true TO the hopes of Mr.. Walker,
and it is interesting to pick them out.
Those which gave a majority to him
were: Charlton, Grafton, Holden, Men
don, NEillbury, Northbridge, Paxton,
Rutland, Shrewsbury, Sturbridge, Up
ton, Uxbridge, Westboro, and West
Boylston.
In Sutton the contest resulted in a
tie, each candidate being given "a
votes. Although as in years past, the
suburban towns in the district gave
Mr.. Walker a majority as rule, the
majorities We're much smaller than
ever before, and in this city the vote
cast for him in 1896 was cut nearly in
half, being only SIT, as against 1O,747,
Then Mr.. Walkers total vote in the
district was 1898, and this year only
11.O1O. Plis falling off is charged to
| the account of disgruntled republicans
who in their opposition to Mr.. Walker
bolted party lines and voted for 1'hayer.
Mr.. Thayer's total vote in the district
of 11,OS7 this year, as compared with
O'Gara's total of 1855 in 1895, can be
taken more as a personal compliment
than a political victory. That Mr..
Thayer is popular man and
has made many friends in this
city, cannot be denied Popularity
is a prime essential in a vote-getter
and the democrats made a happy
choice in Mr.. Thayer. The cIoseness
of the vote goes to disprove the asser-
lions made before election of a whole
sale desertion from the ranks Of Mr..
Walker. His service has been long,
and the closeness Of yesterdays vote
proves conclusively that it has not been
unappreciated. The fight by which Mr..
Thayer was accorded the election viii
go on record as one of the hottest ever
held in tho district, and indeed there is
some uncertainty as TO the result in the
minds of some of Mr.. Walkers support
ers. The vote was so close that it is
barely possible recount may be asked
for.
The fight, although a hot one, was
remarkably clean one. Practically no
money was used, and the two men en-
tered the fight solely on their merits.
The defeat of one of them by so small
a margin is testimonial to both. Mr..
Walker spent the greater part of the
day in his office, where he followed the
returns closely. Mr.. Thayer drove
about the city in his carriage, visiting
the various polling places and looking
after his interests in the contest.

THAYER is eRATIFlED.

Congressnan-elect Thayer spent the
evening in company with a score of
friends at his office in the State Mutual
building. A splendid system gave them
the earliest possible news of the great
fight and the encouraging reports from
the first kept hopes at a high pitch. The
only real disappointment came when
the vote of Blackstone with a majority
of $50 was announced. The figure here
had been estimated at 300 and by some
as high as 400, but a short time later,
when the vote in Mr.. Thayers own pre-
cinct showing majority of 24S votes
was announced and election was as
sured, the rejoicing knew no bounds.
Mr.. Thayer happened to answer the
telephone when the news came, and
he announced the vote to the assembled
company with considerable excitement.
In q moment he was surrounded by the
throng which cheered until it was inn
possible to cheer longer Mr.. Thayer
tried to talk with the man on the other
end of the line but could not. Finally
he called for quiet and the crowd has
tened to the side of Mr.. Thayer's
son Jack" and poured their congratu
lations upon him. After calling up a
Minbury friend, Mr.. Thayer tried to
get his own family, but was unable TO
do So In the meantime the little COM
pany in the Office had kept on chNering
and hugging themselves alternately.
AS Mr. Thayer left the telephone,
Alderman Barrett offered three cheers
for Congressman elect Thayer" and
they were given in a manner that
started the roof.
A celebration was then in order, and
the party proceeded to the lincoln
house at Mr.. Thayers invitation The
cafe was filled with friends who well
coined the new congressman vocifer-
ously. There were three cheers in open
ing, Everybody drank to Mr. Thayer's
health and then discussed the great vie
tory over good cigars.
Mr.. Thayer said he was very much
gratihed at the vote received, and he
wished TO return thanks not only to his

trict, and / hope that the AGRICULTURAL
manufacturing or commercial interests
will not suffer in my hands in com
parison with the way they have by
Mr.. Walkers conduct in office during
the last ten years.
When asked If the election came as a
surprise, Mr.. Thayer said:
I felt from the beginning that nv
chances were at least even for election,
L knew the voters Of the district
thought that the obstacles were insur-
mountable, and that it would be inn
possible for me to be elected; but
was in close touch with the people of
the district and felt that there was SO
much opposition TO Mr.. Walker thai it
would indirectly be OF great assistanoe
to me. From the reports received
through the towns committees, fele
very confident that my chances were
at least even with those Of MIR. walker.
The first returns received by me this
evening showed the trend OF pubic
sentiment-nanely, precinct 3 Of ward
z. Which showed that [ had received
1o1 to Bruce's sS, and that Mr.. Walker
had received Is per cent less than Gov,
Wolcott's vote. From that instant,
felt that while the vote might be close,
there was an excellent chance for suo-
cess.
When asked if he had anything to
say about Mr.. Walker, he pleasantly
replied:
have nothing to say but thisi sAlIow
me to congratulate myself and all Of
the members of the Worcester Fur
Company, that our worthy and accom-
plished fellow member, Mr.. Walker,
does not seriously contemplate any ex-
tended absence from Worcester in the
next few years"
When asked whether much work had
been DONE Mr.. Thayer replied:
There has been a great deal of EARN
est work We have not made boasts
or held torchlight professions, but in
the language of the street. we have
been Saving wood" and that is the
kind of work that counts in a oam-
naign

Oyster Bay, L. L, Nov. S-Coionel
Roosevelt was notified tonight of his
victory by a telegram from Chairman
Odell of the republican state committee
saying he had been elected governor by
from 10000 to 10000 plurality Colonel
Roosevelt was at his house in Cove
Neck surrounded by his family and
some friends. After arriving home dur
ing the afternoon from the city he spent
the evening quietly waiting for the re-
turns to come in. News reached the
telephone office In Oyster Bay before
the dispatches from New York were
sent to Colonel Roosevelt's house.
A party of newspaper men, as soon as
first information came that he was
elected, drove to his house and in
formed him that he was the next gov
ernor of New York state. Mr.. Roose-
Welt was asked to make a statement
outlining his future plans, but he
laughingly replied that he wanted to
be first sure that he had been elected,
and did not care to say much until he
received the official news from the state
committee that he was elected. Colonel
Roosevelt was congratulated by those
present and during the night and up
to the time the telegraph office closed,
there was a flood of congratulatory
kilograms for the successful candidate.
