IS WELL SATISFIED
Thomas j. Phillips Has No Com.
plant to Make on Election.
M'KINLEY'S DEATH AFFECTED VOTES
He Believes This Increased Republican
Majority Many housands-Larse
Crowds Heard News Last Evening
Eagles Had Planned Demonstration.

Thomas ]. Phillips, the defeated
democratic candidate for governor to-
day expressed himself as well salts
ton. He said he had hoped to hold
the republican plurality down much
lower than it has proved to be, but
under the circumstances he says he
does not see where it could have been
changed. He says the death of Presi-
dent Mckinley no doubt had large in
fiuence on the result and it no doubt
polled many thousand republican votes
that otherwise would never have been
gotten out.
Another thing that injured the dem
ocratic success was the action taken
by the convention on the money ques-
ton Mr.. Phillips says if his ideas
had been carried out. he believes the
democrats would have polled a much
larger vote, although at the same time
he does not see where they could have
won, on account of the large repub-
lican majority, which is known to ex-
list in the state.
Mr.. Phillips heard the returns
up until nearly midnight last
night at the Elks' club, which
was holding social session
and taking the returns. After it was
seen that he was defeated by a very
large vote, he retired, but believed up
| to that time that the vote was being
over-reported Today he expressed
himself as inclined to the belief that
when the full returns are in, he will
not be defeated by over 10000 plural.
Iity.
A large portion of Ottumwa's citi-
zens were up last night until the re-
turns had been received, especially
until it had been determined who was
elected in Wapello county. Republican
headquarters, the Elks, the Eagles and
| the Courier office were all receiving
the returns as fast as they were com
piled. Large crowds were in attend
ance at all these places especially
during the earlier part of the evening
! The Elks served lunch to its mem
| bers and returns We're bulletined until
after midnight. The Eagles, which
was j. D. Gray's headquarters, had
planned on big celebration, but as
soon as the returns indicated Gray's
defeat they began going home and by
midnight there was but a small crowo
left. 1t is understood the lodge had
arranged for band in case of Gray's
election, but this part of the program
was not carried out
At the Courier Office there was big
crowd until s o'clock this morning
Republicans and democrats gathered
1 together and as they rubbed elbows
they listened to the reports furnished
not only from the county, but from the
state as well. AS the republican gains
began showing up, there was much Ell
thusiasm, and the crowd was kept il
a good natured vein all night
| AS it became assured that the re
publicans had swept the county there
We're a few shouts of victory, but nc
active street demonstrations were
