INDIANA LOOKS
ALL REPUBLICAN
DEMOCRATS lost IN FREE Sill.
YER COUNTIES.
Bryan Democrats Did Not Vote For
Parker, in Spite of sryan's
Efforts.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 8.-Though
the returns from Indiana are far from
complete. at this hour all the indica-
tions point to substantial victory
for the Republican national, state,
congressional and legislative ticket,
insuring to the party control of the
legislature on joint ballot and the CON
seQuent election of two United States
senators. The Democrats appear to
have fallen down in the strong free
silver counties in nearly all of which
the Republicans have made astonish-
ing gains. The same is true of the
manufacturing centers and the mining
sections and in the farming districts
the situation presents practically the
same phase. In a few Republican
counties the Democrats have made
slight gains, but in comparison with
the general result they are insigniti-
cant. Out OF the eighteen counties
reported at o'clock fifteen showed
heavy Republican gains, and they are
representative OF all the counties III
the state, including labor centers and
agricultural and mining sections. In
this, city meagre returns show that
the majority for the electoral ticket
will be larger than that OF 1900 when
the Republicans carried the county
by plurality of 1900 votes.
The. vote was taken under auspi'
ces favorable TO a full and free ex'
preston of the electorate and no dis
turbances of any kind are reported
from any section of the state. The
Democratic managers, while greatly
disappointed at the result and while
not conccding that the state is Repub
lican, privately confess that the free
silver Democrats did not vote for
Parker, Notwithstanding the phenome
nal campaign made in his interest
and the earnest efforts Of Mr.. Bry
an to bring out the vote that was
lloyal to him in 1896 and 1900.

RESULT WAS
KNOWN EARLY.
At 7:30 Both Headquar-
ters Had Received Ger.
tain Information of
ROOSEVELT TRIUMPH

New York, Nov. S.-The result of the
presidential election was known to
certainty at he national headquarters
of both parties so early as 1880 o'clock
in the evening and the manifestations
Of triumph and utter detection were
accordingly pronounced. Half an hour
later Democratic headquarters was
practically deserted, only few of the
faithful mourners staying to discuss
the why and how.
August Belmont conceded President
Roosevelt's election early and soon af-
ter news was received that the journ-
alistic mainstays of the Democrats,
the American, the Brooklyn Daily
Eagle, the World. the Evening Post
and the Herald were issuing extras
and flashing their tell-tale white lights
admitting defeat.
Cord Meyer, chairman of the DEM
ocratic state committee, who by that
time was still clinging to the hope of
saving the state ticket. was ready
only to admit defeat in the national.
President Roosevelt's plurality, he
said, was so large, that he had no
statement to make outside of this ad-
mission, and when this pronouncement
was carried to Republican national
headquarters, Chairman Cortelyou re-
piled:
1--WE agree with the statement made
by Mr.. Meyer, and for the present we
have no statement to make"
The report of transmission of a
congratulatory telegram from Rose
mount to President Roosevelt, was the
last straw. Democratic headquarters
almost completely emptied after that
and those who had come to glory in
the election of Judge Parker went
out into the noisy streets and consol-
ed themselves by watching, the flash
light bulletins announce the Republi-
can landslide in its details of figures
and facts.
Enthusiasm ran high at Republican
national headquarters and no sooner
had the result became assured than
the leaders got together and made ar
rangements for a ratification meeting
W Dc utiu uOOu at WI
Broadway. AS sixty speakers Of the
national committee will be invited II
is evidently expected that the crowd
will come early and stay late. -.'
1t was left to Chairman William
r. Barnes, Jr., of the Republican
state executive committee, to send the
first official message announcing the
victory to President Roosevelt. Mr.
Barnes in his telegram to the White
ouse stated that the Roosevelt plural
ity of New York state would exceed
100000 and that Frank W. Higgins
would be sent to the capital at Albany
by upward of 100000.
Similar figures were contained in {
summary issued by Secretary l.. A
Coolidge, of the Republican nationa
committee, who claimed New Yorl
state for Roosevelt by 100000 and sait
that in Greater New York the Demo
cratic majority would be cut down u
$4,000 or less.

JUDGE PARKER
GETS RETURNS
At His R0sem0unt Home
and Bears His Defeat
BraveIy.
WILL PRACTICE LAW

Rosemount, Esopus, N. Y, Nov. s.
Judge Parker received the election re-
turns in his library at Rosemount,
surrounded by his family. Mr.. and
Mrs. Emery Freer and Mr.. and Mrs.
e. r. Long, his neighbors, whom he
had invited for the occasion. Messen-
ger boys carried the messages up the
hill from the; telegraph Office in the
lodge.
Boston sent the first presidential re-
turns, which showed a Parker ma
3ority in certain precincts. After that
dispatches came thick and fast and
the telephone began to ring with addi-
tional returns.
Judge Parker alternated with his
secretary in receiving these verbal
messages. Although the first hours
returns were unfavorable. the nom
inee's spirits continued at high flood.
He found time to speak words OF en-
rouragement to his family and friends.
At o'clock. it was learned that
Judge Parker's own residence district,
the Third Esopus, in which he lives
had given his opponent a majority OF
IA, but the candidate made no COM
ment upon the result. He had cut
down the normal Republican majority
in this district by only 80 votes. Later
as the returns seemed to show an even
more unfavorable result, he still pre-.
seryed him calm, When the telegram
was received saying at Democratic
national headquarters 1t was conceded
that Roosevelt had carried all doubt
full states, Judge Parker issued tele'
gram of congratulation to Presiden
Roosevelt.
Shortly after this message was dis
patched, the guests at Rosemount wen
TO their homes, and the nominee ant
his family retired.
Judge Parker took his defeat bravel.
and though keenly disappointed, o
course, maintained his cheerfulness
Mrs. Parker and his daughter, Mrs
Hall, likewise recognized the situation
AS one of the fortunes Of politics, ant
gave no outward hint of their dis
appointment
1t is probable ? that Judge Parke
will probably take up his law prac
lice, either in Albany or New Yorh

These ceremonies are of the most i'm

student were two ObeliSks. one of them
now being in Central Park, New York.
They were removed from HeiUpOlis to

STATE IN CONTROL

At the Interstate Commerce Commits

Government was not interested I'm the

same authority over vessels using the
canal as those on navigabIe streams.

the Gould offer. said:
The canal IS q State affair and the
