President, received the election returns
in his horne in Upper Genesee street,
this city, surrounded by company of
relatives and friends. The house was
supplied with a long g-distance telephone
connection and direct telegraph wire
from New York, and as the bulletins
were read Sherman was congratulated
by those assembled.
1t became evident from the start that
the returns were not surprising to him.
He has said all the time that he expect
ed the Republicans would win, and he
expressed no surprise as the returns
came indicating that the state had
gone heavily for the Republican ma
tional ticket. He was at his best. and
1cked arrl talked with his visitors III
a happy frame of mind.
Congratulations came from all sec
tions early and the telephones were
ringing with the messages that We're
sent from home and abroad. A large
crowd OF people assembled in the
street in front of Mr.. Sherman's home,
but as no bulletins We're shown in that
section Of the city. the crowd thinned
cut and the street was comparatively
quiet.
The result of the rational election
does no1 surprise me. For the last
month l have been as sure Of Repub-
lcan success as l am tonight. The Re-
| publican party, platform and candl-
date stood for stability, order, conf
dence, continuance OF prosperity
based upon a continuance of protec-
ton and the gold standard; stood for
| the equality OF all men and all inter-
asts before the law. Mr.. Bryan ana
| Organism attempted to array class
| against class, to stir up hate, to con-
use the voter by a multiplicity of mi
nor alleged issues, and to draw atten-
ion from the tariff plank of their plat
'orm. Mr.. Taft's campaign was digni-
| led, raightforward, manly. He met
| every issue sqnarely, justified by clear
| argument his past acts and his expect
| ed administrative acts"

Of Yesterdays elections or practically
the same as at present. OF the 92 men,
bers of that body 81 will hold over,

Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and

Democrats Georgia: Gary

ali of whom will be succeeded by DEM

The only senatorships remaining In
doubt are those Of Ohio, Indiana and
Oregon which are now represented by
Senators Foraker, HemenWay and Full
ton. Republicans, and Colorado. Mis-
souri, and Nevada, represented by Sen
ators Teller, Stone and Newlands, Dam
ocrats.
Governor Cummins of Ohio is about
to realize his ambition Of becoming a
senator from that state. If Indiana
should send a Democrat In place OF
Hemenway, it is supposed here that
John W. Kern. the defeated Vice Pres
idcnt:al candidate. would be chosen.
rhc final figures regarding the result
in the House probably will show little
change in numbers on the respective
sides. but there will be a considerable
shifting in the personnel of that body
A number of surprises already have
been recorded and probably the most
pronounced was the defeat of Repre-
sentative Hepburn of the Sth Iowa dis
trict. Mr.. Hepburn, as chairman of the
