Rudolph Foster A number Of the
presidents old friends were at the
depot to meet him and gave him a
hearty, although entirely informal
greeting. The fact that his train was
not expected until an hour later, ac-
c0rd1ng to announcements, was respon-
slple for many people who had expected
to be at the depot missing the train
The party took carriages and were
driven to the M. G. Barber home, where
Mrs. Mckinley Joined her sister, Mrs
Barber. The president merely exchang-
ed greetings at the house and then
proceeded to discharge the duty that

vote. Accompanied by eight or ten Of
his old friends he started for the poll
ing place of his precinct, G, of the First
ward, three blocks away, walking there
and back, responding to the greetings
of friends along the way The voting
place IS the carpenter shop of Contrac-
tor Rimmel. Here the president greet
ed the judges and other election officers
with hearty handshal1es. His registra-
ton number was called out as number

PITTSBURG, Nov. S.-President Nc
Kinley and party reached Pittsburg on

about three hours and a half The trip
to this city was without incident, other
than ait several towns along the road
large crowds had gathered and the
president was heartily cheered as the
train swept past. Upon arrival here
the president was met by a representa-
tive of the Associated Press, who gave
him the neager returns received up to
that hour. Mr.. Mckinley declined to
make any comment upon the news,
but expressed satisfaction over the
Republican weather" generally pre-
vailing throughout the East, and said
it would be worth thousands Of votes.
At this point the special train was
abandoned and the presidents car Cleo

Dramatic dno MUsfc0I
METROPOLITAN.

In "a Southern Gentleman" in which pay
he appeared at the Metropolitan last evening,
Clay Clement has a role which is not only
favorite with himself but with his audiences.
Lieut. Joseph Carroll is a chivalric, refined
Southerner Of the type known to history ard
tradition. Mr.. Clements performance is
faithfully artistic and most admiral
Mrs. Clement is a charming Are la Thomp-
son, and looks well worthy so ardent lover
as the lieutenant.
Thomas F. O'Malley's Capt. O'Malley is
quite different from his role of Poly in
THE New Dominion and shows his versa
tility of talent. Miss Gertrude O'Malley gave
a clever rendition of the role Of Nanny"
the colored servant, and Phosa McAliister
was a stately Southern woman of the most
aristocratic type.
Charles Mason was a good Philip Durand.
The company received an ovation, being
recalled after the curtain had fallen on the
last act.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8-Postmaste1
General Emory Smith cast his vote al
an early hour in Philadelphia today
and returned at once to Washington
and spent most Of the afternoon at his
desk. All of the assistant postmastera
general, Messrs. Heath, Shallenberger
Merritt and BristOw, were at their re-
spective homes voting. Secretary Bliss
was kept in doors at his hotel apart
ments by a bad cold, but Assistant Sec
rotary Ryan was voting in Kansas, and
Assistant Secretary Davis was return
ing home after closing up, in Seattle
WASH, last night, a hard two months
campaigning tour throughout the coun,
try. Civil Service Commissioners Brew
er and Harlow voted in Michigan and
Missouri respectively. Secretary OF
Agriculture Wilson has been making
some campaign, but it not been away
from Washington, at this time, his de-
partment being represented at the polls
by Assistant Secretary Brigham, who
voted in Ohio. All Of the secretaries in
the state, war and navy departments
were quietly attending to their official
duties today Secretary Hay has no
vote, and Secretaries Alger and Lona
evidently were under no apprehension
aus W uiIe result OIL the elecllOnS IN tne1f
respective states. Assistant Secretary
MeiklejOhn was the only prominent Of
fetal absent, having engaged in this
Nebraska campaign up to the last mo-
ment. Secretary Gage spent the day at
his desk at the treasury department.
and Attorney General Griggs was in
New Jersey at his home.
At the pension bureau Commissioners
Evans made elaborate plans for receiv
ing the election news, and tonight a
large crowd from among the officials
and employees of the interior depart
ment who were invited gathered about
the great court in the building where
the returns were displayed on canvass.

WASHINGTON EXCITED.
Election Returns Were Scanned
with Unusual Interest.


WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Intense ex-
element was manifested In the cleo
ton returns here tonight. The re-
suits Of the various state and congress
sional district campaigns, to which so
much attaches in Washington, attract
ed thousands to the bulletin boards m
front Of the newspaper offices. the
theaterS and clubs received bulletins
the two congressional headquarters had
special wires and long-distance tele-
phone service for those VINO were figur-
ing up the result of the battle for the
control of the next house Of represent
atives. Many of the cabinet officers
and higher officials Of the government
had gene home to vote and owing to
the absence Of the president, who trav-
eled to Ohio to deposit his vote there
was not the brilliant gathering of po-
litical notables at the White house,
which has assembled there frequently
upon similar occasions in the past But
the returns We're received at the White
house and closely tabulated In the be-
lief that some of the other cabinet off,
GERS might drop in later, Secretary Will
son being the only one who came to
the White house early. Secretaries
Hay, Long and Gage, the other mem
bers Of the cabinet in the city, remain
ed at their homes through the early
portion of the evening and received
the returns by telephone. Perhaps in
no city in the country outside of the
Empire state, was the result of the
gubernatorial contest Of such interest
as in Washington, where Col. Roose--
Welt has spent half a dozen years as
civil service commissioner and assis-
tant secretary of the navy, and where
he is 50 wellknown. But the chief
interest, of course, conferred in the
complexion Of the next house. The
legislation during the coming two
years, support Of the administration
and many hundreds of offices were in
viewed in the result and the returns
from the close districts were eagerly
scrutinized by the congressional cam
paign managers Of both committees.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-11-09

Apparently Col. Roosevelt made d
terrific run in the state of New York.
and the returns seem to indicate his
election by about $4,000, although def
mite figures cannot be given. It would
seem, however, as if the voters of
New York preferred the rough rider to
the conservative Van Wyck. If Roose-
welt keeps his pledges, as he undoubt-
edly will, he will become so obnoxious
to the machine of his own party that
New York will be good fighting ground
for the Democrats in 1900.
AS for returns of elections in other
states our news columns will furnish
all the news obtainable at the hour Of
going to press.

The Boston Record (Rep), which holds that
rather than give $40, O0O, 900 for the Philip
pines We could better afford to pay that
amount to some one to take them off our
hands, says that, IF President Mckinley is
committed to any such scheme. he has
changed his views very much Of late" and
adds:
This is not so much to be wondered at,
perhaps, because all our officials in the Phil
hpplnes are recommending that they be kept
as conquest under military rule, as mat
ter OF policy to their superiors at Washington,
while many of them are writing to their
wealthy friends at home indicating how syn
dicates can be formed to make fortunes out

Springfield Republican Nnd.(. "Shall We go

Are they of such a righteous and reasonable
character that the religious teachers Of this
country, not to speak of the fathers and
mothers, stand ready to send the flower of
cur youth through the red sea of martyr
DOM to attain so good a result?"
why should the, United States go out of
it's way to purchase fresh difficulties in far
off Asia?" askes the Philadelphia Bulletin
(Rep.). ''iave we not enough problems
within our own territories and in the West

ing conservative citizens whose minds have

VOTE FELL QUIETLY
HARD WORK WAS DOME IN THE
VARIOUS WARDS OF
ST. PAUL
LIND FEELING PREVAILED
No Disturbances at the Polls, and
Everything Passed OF Smoothly
In the Evening Thousands
Crowded the Streets Around
Newspaper Row and Cheered
Themselves HOarse.

Yesterday was comparatively a quiet
election day, although the candidates
and their friends worked hard for the
success of their respective tickets, and
the result was well merited one But
little ill feeling was developed at the
polls and the contests were made and
wen only after hard work On the part
Of the candidates.
The weather man did not discrinoi-
nate in favor Of either party, for the
scurrylng November clouds and the
absence of rain gave neither party ad-
vantage by reason OF the proverbiaI
Democratic or Republican weather."
Inc larger percentage of the voting
was done during the early hours Of
the morning, and from the first it was
evident that John Lind had carried the
day The early voting was not con-
hned to the districts where q greater
number Of wage earners reside, but in
the Seventh ward, the vote was cast
early. One-haf of the total registra-
ton in this ward had voted before
noon, and in the other wards Of the
city nearly two-thirds of the vote had
been polled before dinner
In the Seventh and Eighth wards the
booths were crowded at the opening of
the polls, and in many cases voters
had to wait a half-hour for a chance
to vote.
The saloons remained closed all day
and there was little or no disturbance
in any part of the city.
1t would be hard to state which ward
developed the greatest interest. Inter
est perhaps centered around the First
Fourth and Seventh wards. In the
First a large Scandinavian vote was
cast largely for Lind, and there was
a lively contest for the legislature in
this ward. In the Fourth the principal
fight was made upon the senatorial
nominees and several places ON the
county ticket
In the Seventh Eustis showed a large
gain over the vote given Mayor Kiefer
at the spring election. The Seventh
cast a heavy vote for the Democratic
judges.
In the Eighth and Ninth wards the
voting was brisk all morning and when
the polls closed less than 8 per cent
Of those registered had failed to cast
their ballots. 1t was an unusually
quiet election in these two wards. In
the Tenth and Eleventh the Prohibit
tionists poIled a rather large vote, but
the registeration was comparatively
quite small.

LOST HIS VOTE.

r. p. Thayer Registered I'm the
Wrong Precinct.
F. P. Thayer lost his vote yesterday partly
owing to his own mistake and the stupidity
of the judges in the Seventh precinct of the
Sixth ward.
Mr.. Thayer Is a railroad man and lives at
219 East Congress street. On the last day
of registration he visited the Seventh pre-
cinct polling place and after being duly sworn
answered the questions put to him and was
registered as voter of that precinct.
Yesterday when he arrived to vote he was
Informed by the judges that he had made
a mistake, as he was a resident Of the
Thirteenth precinct, and stated his case, but
the judges refused to allow him to vote.
