WHAT THE LEADERS SAY.
MEAGHER'S REGRETS.
Says the Democratic in Ward 5 Were
Mislead.

Chairman John II. Meagher Of the
democratic city committee, when seen
by Spy man last night, stated that
he was much pleased to see that the
republican nominees, Crane and Bates,
had fallen back and that Paine and
Mack had gained. This falloff in the
republican vote is due entirely to dis
pleasure of the voters of the state with
the policy of President Mckinley" he
said, land the stand of the republican
party as anti-imperialists shows that
the voters Of Massachusetts are not
entirely satisfied with the ideas of the
chief executive.
THE vote points to a reunited de-
mocracy, and Paine and Mack polled a
vote that showed clearly they were the
candidates Of the party and not of a
faction. They stood for the best inter
ests of the party and the loss of votes
to the republican candidates showed
that a certain element in the republi-
can party was not in sympathy with
the republican administration.
IT am glad" said he, ito see that the
voters Of ward three stood by the reg
ular candidate elected at the caucus
and it shows a proper spirit on the
part of the democrats that is sure to
make the democratic party as strong
as ever in time to come.
THE result of the election in ward
is not satisfactory to me, by any
means and it shows clearly that some
of the democrats in the ward did not
stand by the nominee of the party. Mir
Ryan entered the field at the last mo
ment, merely to uphold the honor OF
the party in the ward, and he was cas-
aside by democrats who should have
voted for him, but were mislead, l see
in yesterdays election a grand victory
for the democratic party next year, anc
Worcester was not behind other cite:

Tammany Gains in New York City
Offset BY Reverses Up the State.

Offset BY Reverses Up the State.
New York, Nov. 7, IL p. m.--Returns
from state and city so far received in
dictate that the republicans will have
about the same majority in the next as
sembly as in the last, the democratic
gains iE this city being offset by losses
in the lesser counties. In 113 assem-
bly, districts which have reported, in
GLIDING 20 in this city, rs republicans
and 80 democrats were elected.
The democrats suffered grave rever-
SEES in Erie county (Buffalo) and Che
mong county, the home of Senator d.

state, The democratic vote showed q
great falling off Buffalo, Troy and Al
bany gave large republican majoritle5,
a complete overthrow. Mayor James K.
Mcclure, democrat, is reelected mayor
of Syracuse, tribute to his personal
popularity.
In the four counties of New York city
the usual big democratic majorities
were rolled up, every candidate in ev-
cry county being elected except Nc
Gray, democrat candidate for register
of Kings, against whom charges OF
corruption had been made. Tammany
shows no elation over the plurality OF
$4,000 for its New York county ticket,

MARYLAND DEMOCRATIC.
Republicans Overwhelmingly Defeat
ed and Lose State Control.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. Incomplete
returns from the city of Baltimore and
meagre reports from the state received
up to Ii o'clock tonight, indicate that
the republicans of Maryland have been
overwhelmingly defeated and that John
Walter Smith, the democratic candidate
has been elected by a majority various
ly estimated at from 10000 to 10000
There is also a reasonable certainty
that the lower House of the general as
sembly will be democratic by a large
majority and that the democrats will
elect enough state senators to overcome
the republican advantage among the
hold-over senator's, thereby controlling
both branches Of the legislature.
The c mocrats are wild with enthusi-
asm, while the republicans are cores
pondingly depressed over the result
which they are inclined to attribute to
treachery among the followers of Mayor
Master and United States Senator We'll
lington The latter has taken no part in
the campaign and has not hesitated,
since his resignation as chairman of the
state central committee a few weeks
ago, to predict the overwhelming defeat
of the republican ticket.

JONES GRATIFIED.

derfuI Victory.

Thinks His Cause Has Won Won
derfuI Victory.
Toledo, O., Nov. Mayor Jones said
late tonight; The result of the election
is extremely gratifying to me as it must
be to every lover of liberty. The vote
for the non-partisan idea is large
enough to Justify the claim that the
cause has won the greatest victory ever
recorded in the political history of the
state.
1 believe the moral force will lead the
legislature to pass the municipal code
commission bill which provides that
every municipal officer in Ohio shall be
elected by the non-partison plan, doing
away entirely with political parties in
all our cities. Furthermore, the vote for
non-partisan idea will have it's infiu-
ence in shaping national issues next
year. There will be more of morals in
the national platforms by reason of it.
1 am thankful that the non-partisan
vote in Ohio may be recorded as favor
ing Christian policy towards the Phil
ippineS.

CROKER HAPPY.
Defeat of Mazet Something to Be
Thankful For.

New York, Nov. Chairman odell
of the republican state committee, after
looking over returns at republican head
quarters tonight. said: If these re-
turns keep up like this we will have
more than "a members Of the legisia-
ture. We have gained some we did not
claim and have not lost any yet.
At the democratic state headquarters
this evening Eliot Danforth, the chair
man of the state committee said the re-
turns from up the state were not en-
couraging Returns were received as
usual at Tamnany hafi. Richard Gro
ker arrived shortly before 5 o'clock. he
was in. a most amiable humor and said:
1--WE will have majority for the county
ticket of about $4,000. Mazet is beaten
and that is something to be thankful
for. From the returns it looks as though
the entire democratic ticket in King
county is elected with the exception OF
John Morrlsey Grey, candidate for reg
ister." Mr. Croker refused to talk about
the situation up the state.

Chairman Partridge of the Republican
City Committee Is Pleased

City Committee Is Pleased
Leon Rice Partridge, chairman of the
republican city committee, expressed
himself as well satisfied with the result
of the election in Worcester, In con-
versation with Spy reporter, Mr..
Partridge said.
LAS a whole the vote in Worcester
resulted about as l expected The one
point at which the committee mas
aimed throughout the campaign was to
carry ward five, and this was accom-
plished. / had hoped for better show
ing in ward 8, but defeat was appar-
emily inevitable. In my estimation re-
publicans of Worcester, as a whole, as
well as members of the city committee
have good reason to congratulate them
selves on the outcome in the fifth ward.
The principal effort has been made in
this direction, and while | am free to
confess that supporters of the demo-
cratic candidate worked like beavers
the republicans We're equally indus
trious and with better success, as is
evidenced in the result.
Il think the work done this year in
keeping ward on the right side OF
the house, should appeal to republicans
of the city and awaken them to real
ization of what needs to be done IN
order to keep UP this condition of at
fairs in the south end of the city, We
have done considerable this year aside
from the big ratification rally and the
| results accomplished should have some
| influence on contributions.
by the increased republican vote in
ward 5, another delegate to the repub-
lican conventions is gained, and, al
though we lost delegates in other wards
! on account of the light vote, l consider
the result satisfactory on the whole"

DEMOCRATS SWEEP ALL
Only One Turned Down in Greater
New York.

New York, Nov. THE election in
the four counties that made up Greater
New York resulted in the election of
every democratic candidate except
Gray. candidate for register in Kings
county, who was beaten because of his
failure to put in an appearance before
the Mazet investigation committee and
answer charges made against him.
Democratic majorities We're about
normal, being in New York county over
1000. In Kings county the vote fell off
from last year, when Van Wyck ran
very strong in Brooklyn. The Tammany
exultation was not over the county
ticket as victory, which had been ex-
pected, but over the defeat of Assem-
blyman Mazet, republican, which they
had hoped, prayed and worked for.
