The unlooked-for losses in the Demo-
cratic vote here in the various boroughs
made everybody feel al the outset that
defeat was inevitable. Greater New York
had naturally been counted upon for a
Bryan majority that would meet the up
State Mckinley majority at the Bronx and
either oyertop it or make the fight ex-
tremely close SO far as the Empire State
was concerned.
Naturally there are divers rumors of a
more or less ugly character afloat respect
ing the delinquency of certain Democrats
in the metropolis. but they may be founded
only upon disappointment and the excite
ment in the closing crisis of great ma
tional struggle for political supremacy.
When the astonishing insufficiency of
Mr. Bryan's vote became apparent il was
almost Immediately conceded that the
State was lost to the Democratic candi-
date. although some hope was held out by
the weli-defined detection of Republican
voters in the rural counties. and for a
time ii was thought even by those who are
not over optimistic that the victory might
possibly come from up the State and turn
the unwelcome tide.
As the general State returns became
more complete however il was acknowl-
edged that the hope was misplaced and
that New York's electoral vote would, as
in 1896. go TO Mckinley.
Ex-Governor Stone, the Eastern man.
ager of the Bryan campaign, was deter
mined to hold cut during the early even
ing, however and aithcuzh the ;hara ter
of the general dispatches was anything
but encouraging. he relied upon later re-
turns to change the tide for the better.
The information from many States BE-
ing meager, he was inclined to believe
that the reports would take on better
color and show that there was at least q
fighting chance for the Nebraskan.
At midnight, however. the unvarying
character Of the election reports led NJ
Stone to make the following reluctaa. an
nouncement:
y give up. The returns teieg raphei
these headquarters from New York. New
Jersey. and Connecticut show that the
States have gone Republican"
Mr.. Stone and his faithful little band at
the headquarters, where such a gallant
fight had been made for Mr. Bryan. soon
afterward decided to retire for rest, and
they went to their rooms for the first
genuine sleep they have enjoyed for
weeks.
AT late hour last night confidential
message was received from Mr.. Bryan, in
dicating that he would make no formal
statement of surrender until he had heard
the full official returns.
Mr. Croker would make no statement
this morning except TO regretfully ac-
knowledge Informally the a. parently over
whelming character OF the defeat in the
State and nation. 1t is thought that he
may have something 10 say officially later
in the day.
The corridors of the Hoffman House
were thronged all night with Democrats
who are naturally disappointed and cha
rrined over the unexpected result OF the
Presidential campaign But they all re-
marked that they will be ready 10 fight just
as hard when the next opportunity oilers
A, 2 O'Clock this morning New York
City is like a madhouse- From Long
Acre Square 10 Park Row the streets have
been choked with humanity ali night. and
thousands OF them have not yet gone TO
their homes. The most terrific din has
rackei the nerves OF everybody since early
last evening. and it is apparent that there
will be no sleep in the town for hours yet.
Everybody is trying 10 Guido everybody
else In producing hideous and ear-splitting
noises old-time declare that no such
wild and riotous conduct was ever before
witnessed in this metropolis
In front of the bulletin boards and
stereopticon sheets were gathered
crowds that damned each other slinos; to
suffoca ton. and the whole population
seemed TO have congested itself in the FIVE
miles of the business section from Long
Acre to Newspaper Row.
Political leaders, big or little, were not
TO be seen in the crowds. and most of them
kept out OF the way of the pushing, tug
cling mobs Of election nighters.
Joe Maniey and his associates at the
Hanna headquarters lief; their rooms be-
