 Even Hoped For.

Washington, Nov. S.-Surrounded by his devoted family and company of intimate personal friends President Roosevelt tonight received the news of his overwhelming victory achieved today at the polls of the Amertcan people.

 Newspaper reports from New York city were received conveying the wei come news. While the President was gratified 1t may be said that the re- suit was not entirely unexpected aI- though he himself had not anticipated so tremendous a victory.
 These and rapidly succeeding bull letins each conveying to him more cheering news were read and dis- cussed by the President with surpris ing caimness. He was in the best of spirits and at no time did he manifest the aliEhteSt nervousness or anxiety.

Chairman Gar Der of the Democratic State Committee has no figures to give out on the State or national tickets in Ohio, but he also claims a net gain of one Democratic Congressman.

Baltimore, Nov. S.-Returns from the city and State are not complete but it is apparent from the official reports so far received that the vote in Mary

New York. Nov. S.-The Republican national ticket has been elected by a vote in the Electoral College that will exceed the 292 given for Mckinley in 1900. The result of today's balloting was astounding even to the most san guine of the Republican managers. Confident as they were of success they were not prepared for the astonishing figures which followed the closing of the polls, bringing into the Republican column not only all of those States they had claimed as safe for their can didate but with the possible exception of Maryland every State classed as doubtful.
 Democratic successes are confined to the Solid South, in which Kentucky Is included. and MT. Parker has not cdr ried a single State which did not give It's vote to MT. Bryan four years ago. Unofhcial returns indicate that he has lost some of those which the Nebraska candidate held for his party. Official figures from some of the Northwestern States may slightly change the totals, but based on the returns available at a late hour tonight the electoral vote stands as fellows:
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-11-09

New York, Nov. 9.-(2 a. m.)-If Maryland has gone Republican. as un- official returns at this hour indicate, the Republican vote in the electoral col lege will be the unprecedented one of s25 for Roosevelt and Fairbanks to 161 for Parker and Davis. Not only Is this far in excess of Mckinley g votes, 2s2 in 1900. but Judge Parker's vote Is four less than that given MT Bryan four years ago.
 It Is practically certain that the Re publican national ticket has carried every State in the Union outside of the so-called Solid South. It may take the official count to decide Maryland. The Republican majority in the next House of Representatives will not be less than fifty.
