Washington, Nov. 4-(Special.) .)-The genuine pleasure with which Democrats nave heard the news from New York Maryland and elsewhere. is visible on all sides, Is unfeigned and everywhere out-spoken. It is taken as an unmistak- able indication that New York with a candidate to suit her views, stands ready to give her electoral vote for a Demo- cratic candidate next year.
 No Democrat seems to be grieved over Johnson's defeat in Ohio as his methods have tended to divide the party at the risk Of disaster, as shown in his own State.
 There is a special Democratic joy over the result in Maryland, as it is victory over the administrations utmost stren- uousness of intermeddling with that States election. The defeat of McComas, who was one of the bitterest critics of the South in his advocacy of the force bill when he was a member of the House, Is a source of positive glee to Southern Dem- ocrats
 Senator Culberson Talks.
 Senator Culberson of Texas said tonight to your correspondent:
 The result of the election is very gratifying to me. The Democrats won in Rhode Island, Maryland and New York, the only States in which there Is a chance to change existing political condi- uons. To have held Rhode Island Tues- day means that we can probably win there in 1904. This election returns Nary land permanently to the Democratic column and gives emphasis to the race issue. The State gave a decisive answer to the negro equality theory which the President has made prominent.
 sTV1 mocracy against Republicanism, pure and simple. It is true the Republicans hypo- critically endeavored to place 1t upon other grounds, but they were held to the real ones. As a consequences. the logic of the situation Is that in 1904 the Demo- crats will be practically united. and we will carry the State. Mcclellan is q splendid fellow. and will hold. what we have gained. think we will hear much Of him hereafter.
 '"The result in Maryland and New York continues German and Parker as the leading names for the Democratic Presi- dential nomination. The defeat of John son in Ohio did not surprise me, for his views are tinctured with radical social ism."
 MT. Roosevelt's Idea.
 Last night, when President Roosevelt was informed how the elections had gone, he had nothing to say. This afternoon he had recovered sufficiently the whistle through the graveyard. as 1t were. and allowed statement to go forth that he was pleased with the result. His sole comfort appears to be that he thinks the result in Ohio means the triumphant vim dication of Senator Hanna as the proper man for chairman of the Republican Ma tional Executive Committee.
 It Is recalled that Senator Hanna was opposed to the endorsement of Roosevelt by the Republican Convention preced- ing the election and only withdrew his objections after telegram from the President himself. The overwhelming victory for Hanna is regarded by Hanna Republicans here who are much more free spoken than their chief. as another jolt for Teddy" R. H. Watkins.
