district, and Samuel ]. Pugh is prob
ably elected in the Ninth Kentucky.
The election of George NJ. Davidson, III
the Eighth Kentucky, is in doubt, with
the chances seemingly in favor Of his
election. Adyices from Maryland show
that we have elected four Republicans
certainly. Nineteen members Of the
delegation from New York state, and
perhaps more, win be Republicans.
Fischer Of the Fourth New York dis
trict is the only member we have
elected in Greater New York. The
election Of Cochran, in the Nineteenth
New York, and of Mahany, in the
Thirty-second district, is in doubt.
From Pennsylvania we have thus far
received meagre returns, but the indi-
cations are that we have sustained
some losses there. Unofficial advices
from western states show that we have
more than held our own. and my cor
victiOn is that We shall control the
house by a safe majority"
Since early this evening Secretary
Kerr OF the Democratic congressional
committee has been writing on returns
received at Democratic congressional
headquarters. To the Associated
Press, Secretary Kerr said at o'clock:
The Republicans have lost control
Of the house of representatives We
will have from 1S6 to 19O members. and
viii organize the house Of the Fifty
sixth congress.
The majority Of the opposition will
be from Is TO 20 over the Republicans,
and perhaps more. Our advices indi-
cate Democratic gains in some of the
states, as follows:
Alabama. 2; Illinois, .; Iowa, 1;
Kentucky, 3; Maryland. 2; Massachu-
setts, 2; Missouri, 2; New Jersey, 2;
New York. s; North Carolina. 2: Penn
syivania, 6; Virginia, s; West Vir-
Sinia, l. This is a total OF 81.
"One district in Delaware is doubt
full, with the chances in favor Of the
Democrats"
In figuring a gain Of three in Vir-
ginia, Secretary Kerr includes two dis
tricts which elected Democratic con-
gressmen in 1896, VINO were unseated
by the present house.

First Municipal Ward.


The voting in many of the districts
of the First ward was exceedingly
light compared to the number given on
the registration lists, which, however,
show an excess of perhaps % per cent
over the actual strength, owing to
deaths and removals whose names have
not been stricken off. No contentious
or disturbances were reported, and the
voting in the First passed off as qui-
city, perhaps, as any ward in the city.
a challenge was sustained in the Elev-
enth district, without any difference of
opinion among the judges. There were
a few cases of disgruntled individuals
who, failing to take the precaution to
see that they were registered, went to
the polls only to find their names were
not written there, although they de-
clared it was the identical place where
they voted last year. The voters were
very slow in coming out, notwith-
standing that both parties had repre-
sentatives hustling in carriages. The
red Democratic badges outnumbered
the white emblems displayed by Re-
publicans several times over, and, in
fact the excess of Democratic workers,
vehicles and enthusiasm was plainly
marked. In most places hot coffee was
served and lent a mitigating influence
to the chill November wind. In the
Eleventh district a Democratic tent
was raised and lunch and coffee were
served very acceptably.

Second Municipal Ward.

The vote in the several districts COM
prising this ward was light, compared
with the registration. Both parties
worked hard to secure an advantage.
There were no incidents, except in
the Twenty-fourth, where the Repub-
licans voted Humphrey Perkins a
negro who lives on Franklin avenue.
This action was taken over the protest
of the Democratic Judge, the Populist
and Republican judges acting together.
Down in the Seventeenth a voter en-
tered the booth and jocularly remarked
that he presumed now was a. good time
to mark an X up by the rooster and
let it go at that" A Republican chal-
lenger observed: 'I don't want you to
make any such remarks as that in this
booth; that is politics and we don't
want no politics here
Politics HI said the voter. That's
not politics; that's my religion" And
then the challenger faded away.
Old man Balsar, who has voted the
Democratic ticket since 1874. was at
his post in the Twenty fifth and cast d
straight vote.
Fred Price held the fort over on
Eighth West street in lonesome sort
of fashion.
There was a lack of carriages in some
portions of the ward. both on the part
of the Republicans as we'll as the Dem
ocrats The drivers did not work as
hard as they might have done and were
frequently seen resting together in
some sequestered spot.

Figures Received Show Their PluralitieS Will EX-
Ceed Six Thousand.
A GREAT DEMOCRATIC VICTORY
FOR THE SALT LAKE COUNTY TICKET
Every Man On II Elected by Substantial MaoriteS-Re
publicanS May Have Weber and Sanpete.

At o'clock this morning The Herald
had received returns from 116 of the
495 election districts in the state, with
the following results: Roberts. 1884;
Eldredge, 1880: Foster, 500. These same
districts in 1896 gave King 1881, Hol-
brook 7,47S and Foster 54s. AS these
districts are scattered over the entire
state, equally representing all sections,
they form fair basis upon which to
compute the result. Upon this basis
the total vote of the state viii be about
90, 900, a falling off of $4,000, compared
with 1896. Roberts viii have 34,5SO, and
kEldredge 2S,275, a plurality for Roberts
lpf s,305. Baskin's vote will equal, if not
Exceed that of Roberts.
7 The Democrats will have at least A
of the 63 members of the legislature,
with several seats in doubt.
The Republicans have apparently
carried San9ete county on the
legislative ticket, and have elected
their candidate for the legislature in
Summit. There are also indications
that Logan has gone Republican. as
well as sou'a other Cache valley towns
heretofore Democratic. due, it is al
legged to the apathy of the Democratic
local managers. The Democrats have
elected their entire ticket in Utah,
Juab and probably Tooele counties.
The prospects are that the fusion
legislative ticket is elected in Weber,
while the Republicans have elected the
county ticket
A surprising feature of the result was
the strength of Roberts in Salt Lake
City and at other places where he was
expected to fall behind and his weak
ness in his supposed strongholds.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-11-09

licans. and the efforts Of the Damoc-
racy in getting out the vote oore fruit
full results. The apathy Of voters was
not chargeable to the Democrats.
The scratched tickets lepresented
nearly 20 per cent of the total vote
polled, but the Democrats orofted
more from the scratching than the Re-
Democrats had more straight tickets
cast than the combined straight party
tickets of the opposition.
There were no incidents Of a Sensa-
tional or momentous character at any
of the polling places in the Fifth,
worthy of mention. Matters moved
along peaceably and without protest.
In rare instances a challenge was Of
fered, but invariably the trouble was
traceable to registration agents blum
der, and whenever, in such ases, it was
shown on the voters oath and other
good evidence that the vote was legal,
his or her ballot was accepted as sworn
in.
The total registered vote in the Fifth
was as follows but on account of the
faulty law which permits the names of
deceased persons and persons who have
changed their places of 'esidence or
permanently moved away, to ramain on
the registration books for four years,
the actual voting strength in each dis
trict can only be aD0roXimated by de-
Quoting about 20 per cent from each
districts total, except in the Fiftieth,
F'ifty-ffrst and Fifty-Second districts,
where the deduction should be from 80
to 40 Der cent:
District No A, 327 registered votes:
No. As, SS2; No. 46, 440; No. AZ, $50; No.

Fifth Municinal Ward.

In the estimate of old-time Repub-
leans not one of the nine voting dis
triets in the Fifth municipal ward or
precinct retrieved their lost honor.
Even the F'iftieth, the only district in
Salt Lake City which, at the election
of two years ago, gave the Republican
candidate for congressman Il plurality
of votes, shows loss TO the Repub-
icans.
Throughout the Fifth precinct the to-
tai vote polled was comparatively
light due, undoubtedly, to the indif-
ference and disgust Of Republican vot-
ers. IN this thickly settled portion of
the city, and in what was normally a
Republican stronghold, weather condi-
tions were favorable, except for a cold
wind, and polling places were within
easy access, but for all that 1t seemed a
difficult task to induce the stav-at-
homes to come out and vote.
Democratic workers and Democratic
carriages far outnumbered the keDub-

Fourth MunicipaI ward.

It was so quiet in the Fourth muni-
cipal ward that nobody would have
suspected state election was in prog
ress, unless he had been informed of
the fact. The voters came slowly to
the polls, mostly on foot, and but few
carriages were in use. The ladies of
both parties served refreshments at
the various polling places, and the
woman vote was quite large, in. many
places exceeding that of the men, The
total vote was very light, so marked
was the apathy that by o'clock not
to exceed 45 per cent of the total num-
Der registered in the ward had voted,
and at that hour the Democrats claim
ed to be in the lead by $50, While the
Republicans genrally conceded that
the Democrats had carried five out of
the seven polling districts. From q
o'clock till the polls closed the workers

NEW YORK.
Roosevelt Elected and Carries New
York by 5000 Plurality.

York by $4,000 Plurality.
New York, Nov s.-Midnight.-
Theodore Roosevelt (Republiean), late
colonel of the First United States vol
unteer cavalry, has been elected COVER
nor of this state by a plurality any
where from 1900 to 10000 All Colonel
Roosevelt's associates on the Repub-
lican state ticket are probably elected
with him. The returns, both from
Greater New York and from the cOun-
ties outside OF this municipality, are
incomplete, but enough have been re-
ceived to indicate a heavy falling off in
the vote up the state. while that in the
cities was well sustained. The conse-
quence is a falling off in the Repub-
Iican plurality in the state from 212, coo
to the approximated figures given
above Outside OF Greater New York
the vote for Van Wyck is only about
one-fifth Of ! per cent above that Of
Porter in 1896. There appears to be
loss Of four Republican congressman
in the Brooklyn district, the Second,
Fourth. Fifth and Sixth: and Congress-
man Quigg, who had majority of
about 5000 at the election last year,
has been defeated by William Astor
Chanler. In the Albany district, the
Twentieth, GIynn (Democrat) has been
elected to succeed SOuthwick (Repub-
lican).
In addition to the foregoing. there
are. seemingly, Democratic gains in
the Eighth and Thirteenth districts,
both in this city. Daniel J. RiOrdan be-
ing elected in the one and Jefferson NJ
Levy in the other. This makes a total
Democratic gain Of seven congress-
men.

on both sides made an effort to get the
voters out. and things were little
more lively, but by the time the polling
ceased it was estimated that not to eX-
ceed 60 per cent of the registered voters
had availed themselves of the great
privilege Of American citizens.
A great deal of scratching was done,
probably not more than nalf the votes
cast being straight. People generally
appeared to know little about the con-
stitutional amendments, and many neg
lected to vote on them at all. Scarcely
a vote was challenged at any of the
polling places in the ward, and nc uD-

WALTON CLAIMS THE STATE.
Ran Behind In Salt Lake County, But
Ahead Outside

At o'clock this morning Wesley K.
Walton, chairman Of the state Repub-

election Of Eldredge and Zane by a
small majority.
1.-THE state is certainly safe" he said.

counties and the result in Salt county

with votes enough to overbal-
ance it. We have carried San
Dete by from 300 to 500 ma
iority. and Juab by about 200. Cache
county is ours by a small margin, and

in washington. Eldredge and Zane will
carry Summit by about $50. Rich is all

Republicans will control the house OF
representatives in the Fifty-sixth con-
gress, it is impossible at this hour to
indicate what our majority in the
house will be.
"Thus far we have no definite returns

WE MAY PROTEST
Against SPANS Sending Arms to the
Philippines.

New York, Oct. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
Inc United States may submit a di-
pIomatlc protest to Spain through the
French government against its action
IN sending Spanish auxiliary cruiser
loaded with arms and ammunition to
the Philippines.
In any event, the matter is under
consideration, and it is believed has
been called to the attention of the
American commissioners in Paris. The
cruiser in question is the Buenos Ayres,
belonging to the Spanish auxiliary navy
Which Rear Admiral Dewey reported to
the navy department several days ago
is due to arrive at SINGAPORE Straits
settlements, October 18th.
1t is appreciated by the authorities
that Spain has the same right in the
eyes of international law to send REIN
1OrcementS to the Philippines as this
government has and any protest made
would be of the most diplomatic char
acter and simply designed to make it
plain that the continuance of the Voy-
age of the Buenos Ayres is objectiona-
Bile. On the other hand, a member of
the cabinet said that all of the Philip
pines, with the exception of Manila, are
in the nominal possession of Spain and
that it is her undOubted privilege if
she deems it advisable to do so, to send
troops to the eastern islands to subdue
any insurrection that may occur An
other member of the ca binet who talked
the matter over with the president ad-
mitted that Spain has the moral right
to dispatch reinfOrcements to the Phil
ippines, but as the forces of this gov
eminent are in control it is within it's
authority to prevent such reinforce
mentS reaching their destination. How
ever, it is not expected that the matter
will go beyond a protest, if it goes that
far.
From the dispatches received from
Chairman Day, the authorities are still
of the opinion that the work of the
peace commission will be completed be-
fore congress meets. Mr.. Day takes
quite an optimistic view of the situa-
ton 1t is his desire to limit the time
of discussion of the various points rGis-
ed as much as possible in order that
the negotiations may reach an early
conclusion. Information which has been
received here shows cOnclusively that
Spain has no further hope of foreign
interference and this fact leads the
authorities to believe that she will not
attempt to drag the negotiations out as
long as she would if she believed there
was a chance of any European govern
ment attempting to secure modifica-
ton Of the American terms.

On the other hand the Jour says the

The Journal De Paris affirms that the
documents made public in the blue book
do not establish the right of Great Brit

pies.
The Justice expresses the opinion that
Great Britain instead of facilitating the
negotiations, evidently aims at forcing
the situation.

MUST PAY HER OWN DEBTS
None of Spain's Obligations Will Be
Assumed by This Country.

New York, Oct. ia dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
Protocols for the cession Of Porto
Rico and Guam island to the United
States and providing for the independ-
ence of Cuba will be discussed by the
peace commission in Paris at its next
session.
These protocols, which were drawn up
at the last meeting of the commission,
have been the subject of serious con-
sideration by the American peace COM
missioners for the last three days.
Secretary Day sent a cablegram to the
state department on Monday regarding
the work of the American commission
ers. but it was merely routine in char-
acter and simply shows that Mr. Day
and his colleagues have completed the
features of the agreements which they
are anxious the Spanish commissioners
shall adopt
There is no truth in the reports from
Madrid that there has been hitch in
the negotiations and that the proceed
ings OF the commission are not progress
ing as satisfactorily as could be de-
sired AS a matter of fact, in response
to the American demands the Spanish
representative have submitted counter
demands and one of these suggests the
assumption by the United states OF me me
Cuban debt in return, it is said, for the
annexation of Cuba by the United
States. Failing in this, the Spanish rep
resentatives are anxious that the Cuban
debt shall De DOInG ny llAG CuJel4lS -
a guarantee of some kind from this
country. ,-.,
From information which the authori-
ties have received, they say they have
no doubt that Spain will attempt 70
fasten the Philippine debt upon the
United States and this Information
would seem to indicate that Spain mas
in mind a proposition which may event
uaIIv be submitted to this government,
for the United States to take al! OF the

debt and give her important advan-
tages, commercial and otherwise, In the

If Spain has such a proposition IN
view, she may as well know that II
will be waste of time for her to present
it. This government will accept no
debts nor will it guarantee the pay

directly. The instructions Of the amer 1{sI-
