SAME OLD GAME.

The "Indmidation" and Contest
Scheme for Doubtful Districts.
An important part of the Republican
program to retain control of the House Of
Representatives was partially developed
in this city yesterday while the telegraph
tickers were busy furnishing returns
which left the general result as received
by the Republicans, In fog of doubt.
The plan is to bring about large number
of contested election cases from Demo-
cratic districts. and it is noted that ''sug
gestions" have been sent to many Repub-
lican candidates, advising them to PEE
pare contests If 1t can be shown by hook
or crook; that the opposition party has
resorted to fraud or intimidation to de-
feat them.
1t is proposed to have a sufficient num-
Der of these contested cases come before
the Houseito leave the deciding power In
the hands of the Republicans in the FIJI
ty-sixth Congress.
The number of contests will be large
enough, too, 1t is proposed, to enable the
engineers of the scheme to select ana
lican contestants to give that party
good working majority. The remain
der of the contests can then be disposed
of on their merits.
The prologue OF this program was car
ried out on election day in certain South
ern districts. in which the Repupncah
candidates for Congress were advised TO
see to il that there was Il show OF intifni-
dation on the part of their Democratic
onponents in order that there might be
. substantial basis for the contests In the
House.
As result. the news dispatches show
that at certain points there was "a lush-
l,de of shots or armed Democrats
guarded the polls Accompanying these
reports however was the invariaDie
statement that no one was hurt When
Congress meets to decide who shail ana
who shall not be seated. these prear-
ranged incidents, according TO the pro-
gram. will be magnified and distorted INTO
terrible election riots, red-shirt outrases,
wholesale intimidation OF voters, ana
other horrible things calculated TO I'M
press the country and sustain the decision
of the Elections Committee in seating lhe
Republican contestants. Inis scneHe mas
been carefully arranged, and was to nave
been kept quiet, barring the election-oay
news announcements, until Speaker Reed
had an opportunity to play his end OF the
program by outraging the rights and
franchises of thousands of voters by seat
ing men in the House who have no moral
or legal right to be there This secret
move was uncovered yesterday by reason
of certain indiscreet remarks which were
made by Republican politicians in their
contentious that the powers of the Gre
ator alone could prevent their party from
having substantial majority in the next
House.
The statement was made boastfully by
a prominent Republican yesterday after
noon that TON Reed would see to 1t
that every contesting Republican from
North Carolina was seated"

Democratic Gains.

The meager return of the elections
smashed into smithereens the forecasts
and calculations of the managers Of the
campaigns of both parties Although
both party managers claim the control
of Congress by small majority. a study
of the figures of the vote polled, and a
comparison with the election figures of
previous years show the presence OF
great apathy in the Republican. party.
The elections in the various Eastern
States show a Republican gain in the
national legislature, but the early reports
from the West and South show a de-
crease in the members to. represent the
Republicans in Congress. The only con-
dolence the defeated party will have is
to drink Heurich's beers so as TO gain

HIS WAR RECORD DID IT.
Mr.. Croker's Statement Concerning
Col. Rooseveit's Victory.

Soi EtooStNtfs
New York, Nov 9.-Mr Croker gave out
this statement shortly after his arrival
at Tammany Hall today:
II am entirely satisfied with the vote
in New York County. The Democracy,
did its full duty here, and if there had
not been a Republican landslide up the

Roosevelt would come down to the Har-
lem with 10000 or 5000 majority, but, of
course, there was no hope of overcoming
the 10000 plurality that the Republicans
got above the Harlem.
Comparatively speaking. We did better
in this county than we did last year. If
the Low and Tracy people had got to-
New York County by only 5000 whereas
We now carry il by $1,000. against the
combined opposition.
"As TO our judiciary ticket, il made
splendid record. and really helped the
State ticket. Our three candidates for
justices of the Supreme Court received
almost the same number of votes. / new
er saw three candidates run so evenly.
The howl about an honest judiciary,
therefore, had no effect whatever on the
campaign. The results show that the
people understood just what the howl
meant.
Another thing. the Republicans tried
to make sound money a prominent issue
of the campaign. yet we elected all our
congressman in Brooklyn. That is all the
sound money issue amounted to in this
city.
''The fact is that Roosevelt's military
record pulled him through 1t seems

Loeffler was seen in dark corner of the
loft. and he was called upon to surrender.

get well. and that his sentence would be
light. Loeff1er shot twice, first at the Off

NEBRASKA Is REPUBLICAN,.
The "Grand Old Party Gains Twen-
ty Thousand Votes.


ty Thousand Votes.
Omaha, Neb., Nov. 9-There is no
longer a shadow of doubt that there has
been a Republican landslide in Nebraska.
The Republicans have gained 5000 votes,
carrying the State by 1000 This is quite
certain. though there are some isolated
districts to hear from yet. In addition
to gaining the entire State ticket, the
Republicans carry the legislature, having
forces ffty-eight. This. of course, means
a Republican United States senator and
very likely Thompson, of Lincoln, will
be the man. though ex-Congressman
Hayner will be a factor. In the Fourth
and Fifth the Republicans gain two con-
gressmen and very much reduce the ma
jorities in the Third and Sixth. The
State ticket includes Nj. l.. Hayward,
governor, and G. A. Murphy, lieutenant
governor.
The Congressional delegation follows:
First district, Z. ]. Burkett (Rep); Sec
ond district, David H. Mercer (RepD j;
Third district, John r. Robinson tFusionl:
Fourth district, E. II. Hinshaw CRepD:
Fifth district, c. +. Adams tRepD; Sixth
district, W. L. Greene (Fusion).
Just what caused the landslide is now
the subject of discussion all over the
State. One element asserts that 1t Is a
spirit of antagonism to free silver that
defeated the Fusion forces. while the
other declares that it is the natural re-
suit of the feeling that an adverse vote
at this time TO the Republican party
would mean a severe rebuke to the Ad-
ministration's conduct of the war which
might hamper the President in arranging
the terms of peace.
Col Bryan came TO Omaha early this
morning and was on the street for sew
eral hours with G. NJ. Hitchcock. editor
of the world-Herald, the free silver or
