New York, Nov. 4.-The verdict at
the polls so strongly intrenches the
wigwa,n tn power in the city that it's
adherents assert that 1t will be prac-
ticaily invincible In the presidential
and state elections next year.
Charles F. Murphy becomes the most
important democrat in the country. He
win probably have more influence in the
than Croker, Kelly. or Hill ever had.
because he will not only be able to DOM
1nate the democratic party of the en-
tire city but. the democratic party Of the
state as well. Muryhy's victory seems
to mean the destruction OF both David
B. HILL and Hugh Mclaughlin.
The constitutional amendment which
was submitted to the voters providing
for the expenditure OF $101 100000 for
the Improvement of the Erie canal SO
as to permit the transportation of
barges, each carrying 1000 tons Of
freight, has probably been beaten. On
" few counties up the state voted
IN favor OF 1t. The amend
ment was even voted down by some
of the more important counties tra-
versed by the canal. In those counties
which are not trayersed by the canal, in
northern and southern New York, the
amendment simply was slaughtered.
Erie county, which was supposed to
be a hotbed of canal sentiment, did
not do as well as the advocates, of the
improvements had expected.
The assembly of the state Of New
York is safely republican.
Result Known Early.
The result in the city was known
early, as the first returns showed a
heavy falling of In Lows vote. One
evening paper was on the street ten
minutes after the polls closed. an
nouncing McClellan's election.
There were immense crowds at all
the places where bulletins were dis
played, and as the result became ap-
parent there were tremendous cheers.
Even the fusionists in the crowds Were
not at all bitter There was merry
making and revelry all over town. with
all conceivable means OF making noise
Return of Red Lights.
One idea seemed to be strong in the
public mind and that was that the sue
cess OF the Tammany ticket means tb 2
return of the nights OF bright lights
to Broadway and It's cross streets Early
? in the evening song was started up
by a band of marching youngsters, and
the refrain was quickly caught by the
surrounding throngs. Over and ov.-r
again 1t was repeated. and as 1t was
sang great joy spread thru the ten
derloin
Revclry on Broadway.
Not only was restraint cast aside,
but for one night conventtonaaity was
thing to be scorned. Every section
OF the city sent its Representatives into
Broadway arid there all met In frank
friendship and with q spirit OF pure
democracy Yoursg women of good
breeding linked arms with men they
never saw before and whom they
would fail to recognize today and
with them paradsd up or down the
street all rejoicing in their liberty.
From Fourteenth street bands were
sent uptown by the men who are pow
erful In Tammany Hatl, and when the
music coufd be heard Il added to tfs
pleasures or the disgords of the night
1t may here be noted that Tammany
has determined to rid itself of tflsi stig-
ma of the red light. As became SO
powerful an Organization money was
spent in plenty for fire with which to
light up the city, but 1t was not red
light. Green was substituted At one
Time about 10 o'clock. Broadway from
Fourteenth to Forty-second was all
the blush which was SO familiar on
