THE DEMOCRATS SWAMPED UNDER (
IN ALL DIRECTIONS.

to the Democracy.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-The election
yesterday in this State resulted In a
clean Republican sweep, that party
electing all their State candidates and
capturing the Legislatures. The Leg.
Islature will stand: Republican sena
tors 18, Democratic senators 14;Repub
lican assemb lymen 74- Democratic as
semblymen rA; Repubtican majority in
the senate 4 in the house 20; on joint
ballot 24. Palmer, Republican, for sec
reta of state, has a plurality of about
15 over Meyer, Democrat, while
Bartlett, Republicar, for the court of
appeali, has a plurality of about 25,000
over Maynard, Democrat.
The campaign was one of the most
peculiar in the history of the state, and
It is safe to say that the Democratic
managers are not more surprised at
the iesult than the Republicans. The
dominant issue in all portions of the
State bad been ring rule, and the Re
publicans in New York city, Brooklyn,
Albany and Buffalo have been ably as
sisted by the organized efforts of inde
pendent Dewocrats. Isaac 1-. Maynard
the candidate on the Democratic ticket.
for Judge of the court of Appeals,
against whom the Independent Demo
crats have waged war mist bitter and
unrelenting, has been surprisingly an,d
overwhelmingly - defeated. Almost
without exception the returns from
every part of the State shows that, ho
was heavily scratched, even ten of
"Boss" McKaae's retainers at Coney I
Island scratehed him. The result at,
this time seems to be that lie has been I
defeated by a pluralit.y close in t he I
neighborhood of 100,000. l'ractically
complete returns from many .f the
couuties of the State and scatt'erinar re- I
turns from the others indicate t hat, t het
Republicans have elected their entire I
State ticket and they will hale a good r
working majority in the ne.xt L, gtsla-.
ture.
In Brooklyn the local canp:dagn was c
fought most bitterly. Mayor hoody, ti
,who was renominated by the emno- (
crats was opposed by the Youig Men's S
Independent Democratie Clib of lirook %i
lyn most fiercely, and the 1iepuiblicant e
candidate Chas. A. Scheatin, was en n
dorsed, with the result that the Demo- V1
cratic majority of 29,(X0o at the last n
election has been completely overturn. 1i
ed and a Republicani mayor elected by i
about 16,000. The local contest in New r
York city was very interesting, the %
Republicans making but small efforts
in behalf of their t icket. The complete
returns for the city show the election
of the entire Tammniany ticket, by ma
jorities ranging between (67,M0 and 68,
000.
THE BLXE IORAsS STATIC.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 7.-Full returns t
of the elections throughout Kentucky t
will not be available for several days, r
but so far as tLe reports have been re- I
ceived it is pretty certain that the rela.- c
ilve itandiilg of the political parties
has not changed. The only election of -
interest was for members of the Gen c
eral Assembiy, which will vote for li
United State Senator. Senator \Vam. a
Lindsay was elected last winter over e
Brown and Congressman McCreary and I
Stone. IAndsy then had 6~0 per cenrt. l
of the ])emocramtic caucus votes. In v~
the primaries fully 80 perF cent, of the a
Democratic nominees f r both the a
llouse andI Senate were pledged to i
Lindsay, anid are all friendly to Sona- si
tor Blackbutrn, who will stand for re- c
election two years later. The Legisla- i
ture will be D)emocratic on joint bal
lot by about four to 1. The issue in
this election were factional, the doimi
nant faction of the Democracy being l1
the Cleveland party opposed to the el
wing which supported Mr. HIenry gi
Watterson in l'ts opiposition to Cleve. ti
land's nomination. lIn this city Tyler, t~
Democrat, was elected mayor by arbout ti
88,000 majority. The D)emocrats elect A
their entire ticket. Th'le electionr was o
one of the quietest in the history of G~
the city. t
THE WATERLo 'IN 01110.
COLUMBUS, Oiti0, Nov. 7.-With~ a
plurality of 50),000 and two-thirds ofa
both branches of the LegIslature Mc
Kinley has won a miost decisive victo- to
ry. Although McKinley wars running t
for re-election as Gioverno.1, he made
State affairs secondary to protect ion
arnd honest money in all hits spe'che's,
numbering one hundred ad ten. It'
wouldl not have been a sururise t wo S I
weeks ago, but alter the act Ion of Conr te.
gress there seemed to have been suach a le
reaction that the over whlmaing votti i l'
a surprise. 1
The D)emocrata did niot allowv the P'4
contest to go by dlefault, buit made a in
most vigorous light wvith harmonious yo
working forces. Ex-Glovernor Camp- wi
bell canvassed the Starte for Lawrence He
T. real all last week, anrd the D emo- nnl
cratic committee was hopfeul after phl
Congress reached decisive action. Thie
Republican managers would have ex
pected such results two weeks ago, bitia
they were astonished tonight. (Gover- Ic
nor McKinley was not surprised at t he cit
result, lie has exp)ected It all along, ala
and felt Confidenrt that (lie lmpressions loh
of the change of coanditions would not
be overcome by the canmpaign efforts
for reaction. cal
TIhe weather was pleasant all Over
the State and there wias a full vote or
over 800,000. The decisive result of ti(
former years have been because of a ter
small vote, those of one party or the el
other not turning out. Ilmt the voters Of

THE OLD BAY STATE GOES OVER,
BosTON, Nov. 7.-The result of the ~
- election In Massachusetts today can
only be described as a huge Politicalp
lanCalide. For the first time in three i
lrthe Statewll have aReublican i1
' oernor, anid his plurality is J,000 at I
the least. The whole ticket is elected p
with him and-the Lgslature is solid- a

CndDemocrats have conceded the c
defcat of John E. Russell, their candi- h
date for Governor, by a small majority, i
while eTen the most sanguine Republi-d
cans would Rot claim over 15,0 for h
Geenbag.The atonishing result Is I
BKtrit by- those Democrats who z
Fill talk about it to the present indus
rial depreNSIon, aided by the fact that
dassachusetts is normally a Republi
lan State, as Is always proven by her
rote on Presidential candidates. The
itpublicans are so jubilant that they
lare little about the cause tonight.
ASUSUAL IN TillC OLD DOMINION.
RionMOND, Va., November 7.--e.
;urns have been received from about
me half of the State, but the figures
ire of such a character that it is im
possible to give them with accuracy.
Lf the same ratio of gains for the Dem
cratic ticket continues to prevail in
he remainder of the State tho oflieial
majority will probably reach 4o,000.
TherB is no doubt that the )emocrats
have carried at least twent.y out ol
twenty five senatorial districts and
have probably elected eighlv-live out,
Df one hundred members of the I lose
of Dtelegates. Chairman Ellyson ol the
State Democrat.ic cornimittee, places the
Democrat ic tiajority at not, less than
26,000, Thu secretary of the People's
party practically admits that (yer
rail is electe.1, but says he concedes
nothing aid that if the Demo r its
have carritd the SttAte it, has been done
by traud. Col. O'Perrall fron present
illcatiois will probably run bchind

Strength of silver.
WAsIINGTON, I). C., Nov. 7.-itte
:ength displayed by silver during t he c
at week has attracted I-le attenitioni
Treasnry officials, who keep a close
mtch on the least tuctuations in miat
r's affecting the value of money the
arld over. Siver Is reported today in ~
rndon as 3 16 pence per ounce higher '
an yesterday, the figure todiay hbeing o'
9-16 pence per ounce. 'rho cause'
r is strength is believed to be due (d
)t to temporary speculation but to a p
eli grounded opinion that htussia in t1
e near future will adopt silver as a ~
atedf aher monetary system. it is a
btmat the reasu.sy de partment that
itmtons have been received that

uibsidiary coin. At r, o be used for
f siver in use in reusentth amomt 0
ot 63 cents per capita, It imo is
ere that Russia can easily absorb
250,000 of silver, and is desirous of(
oing so, for the pur pose of PushingC
or commerce in the east with Per.sia,

lost exclusively as money.

Ithiera must answer. The opponents
unconditional repeal have had from
'e be,nmning a majority of Democratic
enators. On or about the 1st of
)ctober I drew up the following re
nest to Mr. Gorman, chairman of the
)emiocrat,ic caucus:
"The undersigned Senators respect.
ufly requsi et tht Dnortccuu
be called to meet at the earliest day
practicable." Signed: M. C. Butler, J.
L. Pugh, G. G. Vest, E. C, Walthall,
J. I. Berry, John Martin.
Under our rules a caucus may be
called upon the application of five Sena
tors. You will see six signatures to
this. I applied to a nnmber of the re.
-peal Senators and they refused to sige
it. Mr. Gortian requested me uot tc
press the matter just then, saving he
'joped to accomplish an aLreement by
,ndividual Interviews. After consulta.
tion with the gentlemen who had joined
'ue, we concluded to hold it in abeyance.
On the 16th (f October, Mr. Vest drew
up the following paper:
WAS1UNOToN, 1). C , Oct. 16 1893,
To the lon. Arthur P. Gorman,
Chairman Democratic Caucus: The ui

in bill.
This you will observe is signed by a
ma ut ity of Democratic S-nators. Those.
fivoring repeal, with the excepliorn of
ir. Tiulrii, f Iudiana, flatly refusod to
I into catious, 'Iid there the m itter
dro)ed.
l'h- n followed the contpromise, which
vou hsve doubtless seen. This was
si,ned by thirty six Dcmocratic Sena
tors, by some of us with a iprotest, but
we signe- it with tho assurance by those
who had been charged with it that t,he
terms were acceptable to the President
an( Scc.-etary of the Treasurv. This
was on Saturday. The intervening Sun
day was passed with felicitation- that
all handis et together on HouLay and
pass the compromise. Ninetv per ceti
of the Democratic Senators had signed
it, and this large mUjoity of the party
ought to have controlled, but when on
Honday the New York papers came an
tioutncing the compromise, it, was an
nounced for the first time, apparently
by authority, that the President an(
Sere tary of the Treasury repudiated it.
Of course we could not pass it, with')ut a
full Democratic vole, forty three, and
as the six repeal senators an(d otic op
posed refussd to abide by the action of
the majority. tis tell throui.
This is a simple satement of the facts
and you and my friends c.m form your
own ideas as to who is responsible for
the failure of the Democratic Senators to
sct toLether. I dont think they will lay it
at, my door, (,r that those of us who op.
posed unco-ditional repeal can justly be
charged with obstruction or filibustering
We acted upon the rule of the maority
from the beginninu, and it was only af
ter the minority by forming an alliance
with twenty six Republicans-many of
them the most bitter and unrelenting
persecutors of the South, lea(leri in the
torce bill leiislatlon-that they became
masters of the situation and we cave up
the contest. The Republican Senators,
acting wit.h the majorit,y ot t.he Demo.
cratic Seniator.s, have always ioen the
most liberal and jLst of their party to
the S )ith, and rendering us aid in do
feat:ng the iufamous force bill, which I
can never forget, amnd if I am driven to
seek "p)olitical bedfellows"' away fromi
home I p)rcfer the latter, especially
when I am accompanied by a majority
of my political broth iren.* The trt,h is
we are the D)emocratii party, if the so
much vaunted ma$orit,y rule is worth
anything, absorbing the fewer namber
of the Reopublicansa whereas the minority
was swallowved by their Republican an
nex. In regard t.o my having veeredl my
sas to wind(I.vard to catch the Populist,
vole, I have only to say that I stand on
tinancial questions just, where I have al
wvays stood for a dozen years or more,
aind I:mm surprised t,bat. my lends,
whoi' I supplosedI were acc.iratelv in

rep)resents the single goldl stan-lrd of

and wear the yoke they have p)repared
for- tbo great masses of the A mericaii
people0, or who cl.allenges the oppres

them. For myself I am willing to see
2apit,al have its legitimat,e sway and ex
ercise it.s benetiehent. influences in Amer
icani pro rreas5 and1 develop)ment,, but
when I see its sordlid hand claiming more
Lhan it is en titled to in our social and( p)0
litical life crushing the weak andl destiroy
iing aill opposing elements, I shial1 stand
as it has usually beenm miy lot, in life to
rtand withi thle "nder' dog,"' whatever
lie eIlfti ay be on my porliticaIlfor
It.is scarcely fair to jud(1e or ~prejud(ge
he Democratic A dImini istrat,ion on the
ecord thius far made. I think it, is ua
ortunate that, this Inan cial ontroversv
hi'ul d ha ve been) preci pi tatedi ini thiis
onrm. It was not, goodi leadership but)11
ve h:ave amplde time to rectify the mis
ake, if it, should prove to be a mistake.
Ve tire assuiredl when this matter is out
f the way, that we shall ent,er upon tbc
vork of formulating a tinanci il policy
mn tie linies of the D)emocrat.ic pledlges
5s expr es4sed ini Its platformn. If' these
dledges arc fulfilled thie sores crowmng
it of'the late dchl)te will soon heal and
ve shall meet t,he just, ex pec tat,ion of

r. So I would advise all part,ies to
us pend judgement tintil the~ final out
omnc and( then ad lnister praise or!
>dame where it p)rop)erly belongs.
No fears need be enter tainedl of a r-up. I
uire bletween t,he Senat,ors who oppose5
dis tinancial p)olicy and the President I
11n1 his Cabinet, iIe knows bett,er than I

Tbc tbunder storm through which we1

o st,eer more clearly ofi the breakers in

1 agree with Mr. Sherman in that I(d0
lot, believe that the repleal of the pur -
hasing clause will meet the expecta
ions of' those who have been clamoring
o incessantly for its repeal. Very like
y there will be a part,ial recovery from
he business and financial depression,
which was as I believe brought on dc
ignedly and for the purpose by the
nen who eontrol the money of the coun
ry, but In my judgment there can be no
tolid or permanent rehabilitation of bus
ness until the tarift Is readjusted, and
the cororate npnpety now In n,,iq,ldi
