ALL AMAZED AT RESULT.
Attitude of Roosevelt Toward the South 1 Big Future Question. ..-


 Big Future Question. ;.- New York Stan Correspondence of Bal timore Sun.
 The surprise of the election is New York. While there are many who to- night will say T told you so." few had confidence in their own Judgment as to what would happen in this State, no matter which side their opinion leaned to: The silent vote kept it's own coun- sel until It's voice was heard through the polling booth.
 Retrospection is illumining when an accomplished result is to be accounted for The significance and consequence of such an overwhelming victory for MT. Roosevelt Is something staggering In contemplation to those who have op- posed him on account of their holding to old-fashioned ideas. This city Is in tumult of blowing and jubila- tion, the streets being impenetrably packed with people. The men respon- sible for the management of the Dem ocratic campaign mask their disap- pointment behind an attitude of com placent reserve.
 Judge Parker's chief support came from those Democrats who before his nomination declared. he could not be elected. Some influences which sought his nomination contributed to his de- feat with both money and votes. The Belmonts and their friends were con sptcuous exceptions in the loyalty with which they bore the burdens which, they had right to expect others would help them to bear.
 racy, standing out almost alone in Its magic, was that Of Grover Cleveland while Parker and his managers speak of w. J. Bryan's loyalty in language of praise and respect. One victory which the Democrats will realize they have won Is found in the mutual re- gard and respect which the big men of the opposing factions of the party have acquired for each other. With hope of complete unity In the battles which are come clearer through the triumph of the present administration, they are confident of a united, though at present a much depleted, party. This is 4he fought hardest and borne most of the burdens in this fight. and 1t relieves the depression natural to defeat.
 reliable analysis of the result is impossible at once. but two things are apparent. The men who demanded of the South that Parker should be nomi- mated were not all loyal, and Bryan after opposing Parker's nomination, as he did. could not control all his forces to bring them to Parker's support. From rthe early rivalpies within the party in New York grew a desire on the part of factional leaders to make good" in theE own fields of operation and dis courage the efforts of their rivals in theirs. The net result of this was something of a cut-throat game.
 The trust contribution issue did not make those who contributed to the Roosevelt fund lose confidence in their own influence over the Republican Par ty and it is manifest that the people generally did not believe Roosevelt would he bound by any implied obhga- tion to the trusts. Perhaps the most common expression of opinion tonight in summing up the consequence of the Republican victory is that the trusts will find they have been fooled and that ''Teddy's" big stick will play about their heads.
 There seems to be disposition to make q jest of "the way the trusts have been taken in L." This indicates the way a lot of people have looked at this question and why they have not been frightened by the contemplation of trust influence over the administration resulting from trust support in the election.
 It is anticipated that colonialism and militarism will be given full swing. Those who arc rejoicing couple this ex- pectation with that of the disappoint- ment of the trusts, which they antict- pate merely through their interpreta- tion of Roosevelt's character. The thing which among the victors Is spoken of with confessed apprehension is the attitude Roosevelt may assume toward the South and the enect his election may have upon the negro pop ulatiOn
