Then came tho despatch Itsolf. It oontnlnod,
besides the assurance of Col. Roosevelt's elec
tion, the congratulations of Honntor Piatt and
Mr. Odell. Col Roosoolt had cono to bed
when It reached his house, hut ho got up to re
ceive It. and reiil It with tho utmost satlsfao
., tion.
" To-day. In his roughest knlckerbockorsand
In hobnailed shoos. Col. Iloosovelt has knocked
about Ragamore Hill tilling his lungs with
I bracing smoke-scented air. Tho day has been
fairly easy, but ho could not rest altogether.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon 450 telegrams had
been delivered to him. and ho was told that 4GO
more wero wnltlng their turn In New York.
Bomo of thorn required nnswors. and thero
Were many lettors that needed his Immediate
attention. He was extensively IntorUewod.
He had nothing to add to what wan contained
fn his last night's statement with regard to tho
way in which ho will undertake tho adminis
tration otthoHtote's nrrnlrs.
In reply to a question with regard to the pos
sibility of his announcing any appointments
soon. Col. Iloosovelt replied tint ho lind glvou
and would give tho matter of appointments no
consideration whatocr this weok. He wants
the rest to which his remarkable canvass would
ieem to entitle htm .
In discussing the election figures Col. Ilooso
velt said they wire altogether surprising to him. '
lie had counted upon it plurality in the neigh
borhood of lLMKX). basinghis calculations on
tliefleurcs a-lie had received them from his
IV adviser at headquarters. He had expected a
V better vote in tlio cities. What disappointment
the result in the cities may have, brought to
him was mom than offset by his rejoicing In tho
result of his personal canvass up tho State. Ills
. judgment that such a camass would bring out
votes for him has been wonderfully vindicated.
Col. Roof-oiolt laid ho wns particularly I
pleased that the news brought to him last
night to the eilect that Llout.-Oov. Woodruff
bad failed of reelection was untruo. It pleased
hlra because of his own regard for the Lieutenant-Governor,
furthermore. In view ot tho
fact that Elliot Danforth was the Democratic
candidate, Col. Roosevelt says. Sir. Woodruff's
defeat would have bcon qlmost a national
calamity Col. Itoosevelt's joy is clouded only
by the defeat ot Judges Daly and Cohen ana
J raft and of the candidates for Congress. This
ast was a distinctly disagreeable surprise
Col. Hoosovelt's only caller from ow York
to day was Policeman Mcllugb, the man who
was visited with humiliation by the Tammany
J'ollee Board because ho had the assurance to
arrest a man,who was disturbing a Republican
meeting. HcHugh went back to New York
with tho assurances of tho Colonel's esteem
and much good advice. This afternoon Col.
Koosovolt hail his horse Texas, a battle-scarred
Ftntiago veteran, out for a half hour's gallop.

one would ever think thnt n. town ordinarily so
quiet could be so boisterous in the day of its
triumph The olatlon of the populace extends
from the small boys nnd girls, who started tholr
school exercises o-dny with an uncontrollable
Iloosevelt demonstration, to tho ancient gray
beards who know now that they saw n futurs
Ooverner In Theodore Hoosevolt before he
was out of kilts. In Col. Roosevelt's cam
paign speeches ho had occasion to say more
I than once that he hoped. If elected Governor,
to so administer the .affairs of the State that
every citizen would hold his hcadnllttlo higher
because he was a New Yorker. A surgical op

Republican! Speculating ns to the Causa
Democrats Congrntulnto McLaughlin.
Tho showing thnt the Bonubllcan forces In
Brooklyn mado In the election on Tuesday
astonished tho politicians In both camps In
that borough. In spltoof tholr confident pre
dictions that Van Wyok would roll up a plu
rality of over 3B.000. tho Democratto man"
ogors nt no stago of tho campaign foally ex
pectod more than 12.000, and not a man of
I them ovor dreamed of electing their flvo Con
gross candidates. Tho Republican slump, as
will bo soon by n look at tho wnrd pluralities
given below, was especially marked In tho
strong Ropubllcnn wards, and there Is nodoubt
that thero will bo a season of speculation
for somo wcoks to como as to tho causes
which brought about tho defection. Take tho
Twenty-third want as an example It gavo
Iloosovelt n plurality of only 4,2 13. while all
along Wnltor B. Attorbury, the ward Icador
and Chairman of the County Committee who
would naturally bo supposed to be In full touch
with tho situation In his own bailiwick, de
clared his absolute confidence that It would
roll up considerably more than 0,000. The
Twenty-eighth ward, which gave Roosevelt
less than 100, was put down by the district
leaders for 3,000. The Twenty-second ward.
Instead of giving Roosevelt a plurality of 1,000.
whloh the Republican managers seemed to con
sider a modorate estimate put 211 to tho credit
of Van Wyck.
It was suggested frequently yesterday by
men who havo been In warm sympathy with
tho party, but not in any way Identified with Its
management, that a grave tactical mistake was
mado In placing tho control ot the campaign in
tho hands of tho men who had bcon so prom
inently Identified with the ilerco factional fight
of a year or so ago. An Injection of some now
blood In tho management. It was oontended,
might havo considerably lessened the force of
tho dlsaster Postmaster Franols H. Wilson
thus spoke, and it must bo said only echoed the
vlows of a lnrge element In the organization:
"In Kings county there is reason to bo con
siderably dissatisfied It you aro a Republican.
Wo shall never win hore again until there has
boon a comploto party reorganization in Brook
lyn. Tho people are not satisfied with the men
who hold tho reins at prosont and they dis
tinctly showed tholr dissatisfaction."
Congressman Charles 0. Bennett, who was
ono of tho slaughtered candidates, said: "The
defeat wab largely duo to tho charges ot cor
ruption against former Bopublioan officials In
Brooklyn. Objection to the Raines law was
also a material factor."
Congressman Israel F. Fischer, another vlo
ttm, said: "I-ascribe the local defeat to
Bright's disease, appendicitis, dropsy, and a
few other things, which when translated into
political English mean the city works' scan
dals, Rnlnes law and so forth."
Lleut.-Gov. Wood ru IT showed no Inclination
to hold the campaign managers In any way re
sponsible for tho disaster.
The Democratic warriors, while much grieved
ovor Judge Van Wyck's defeat, were In high
feather over their sweeping victory In the
county, and they tripped over each other in
tholr eagernos to roach the Wllloughbv street
auction rooms and congratulate Hugh Me
I.aughlln and his first lieutenant. James Shev
Hn. 3Ir. McLaughlin abandoned his character
iatlo reticence and mado this statement to the
reporters:
I think that every Democrat ought to be
firoud ot the showing In this county. Never
n all its previous history was there a battle
more admirably conducted by tho Democracy
of Kings than that which has just closed. Onoo
before the plurality was larger, but that was
when there was a big Republican revolt. I
refer to tho Folger year. In the present In
stance there was not only no Republican rovolt.
but tho Republican candidate for the Govern
orship had special elements of strength which
may be called distinctively his own. and it Is
Suite certain that tho Republican politician
Id everything In their power to back him up."
"Did Judge Van Wyck measure up to your
full expectations as a candidate?" Mr. Mc
Laughlin wns asked.
"Thoro can bo but one answer to that ques
tion. That ho not only did not desire the nomi
nation, but had to make a great sacrifice In ac
cepting It. is known to every Intelligent man in
Kings county. It was because of nls sincere
Democracy thnt he consented to leave tho
bench, to which he would have been refljeeted
for fourteen years more by a great majority.
The Domucratlo party In Kings county and
throughout the State is deeply indebted to
him."
There were frowns as well as smiles In the
auction room yesterday. While the name of
Richard Crokor was mentioned in whispers
and no open rebuke of his management was
heard, there wero abundant indications that
tho Kings county lenders hold him largely re
sponsible for Van Wyck's defeat, and that the
result of the election will not tend to rendtir
tholr rotations with Tammany more cordial
than thoy have been.

Iloosevelt Gets ,G37 Plurality Three Re
publican Assemblymen.
RocnzsTEB, Not. 9. The entire Republican
ttoket was eloctedlin Rochester, the home ot
Superintendent of Publfo Works George W.
Aldridge, and in Monroe county yesterday.
In no county outsldo of Kings and Queens
was so much work and money expended by the
Democrats to turn the tide the other way and
disturb the good Republican majority that lion
roe county Is accustomed to record on election
day. The fine weather brought out a full
country vote, which told in the result The
result in the city was learned early, owing to
the use of the Standard ballot machine, but the
towns wero slow in giving up tholr vote. In
tho Fourth Assembly dlstriot tho hottest fight
of the day developed between Benjamin F.
Glca-son.lRop., and present Assemblyman Jacob
S. Ualght. Dem which was not decided until
the last town and ward had reported, when It
was learned that Gleason was elected by a
slight plurality. Tho county gives Roosevelt
20.70Ti and Van Wyck 1&00& Woodruff 20,081
ami Danforth 17,504.
Tho twenty wards of Rochester give Roose
velt 14.2():i and Van Wvck 13,758; Woodruff
14.322 and Danforth 13.330. Roosevelt's plur
ality In Rochester Is 445, Black's plurality
In Rochester In 1WXJ was 4.HKJ.
Other pluralities are as follows: James 31.
K. O'Orady. Congress.. 3,404; Cornelius It.
Parsons. Senate, Forty-third district. 2.518;
W. W. Armstrong. Senate. Forty-fourth dls
triot. 3 544 ; Merton K. Lewis, Assembly. 822;
A. J. Rodenbeck. Assembly. 1,'MO; Hlohard
OardlLer. Assembly, 283; Benjamin F. Glea
son, Assembly. 87. Coroner Henry Klein
dlenst has the highest plurality in the county,
it being 4.870.
The Rochester Rough Riders deserve a
great deal of praise for their part In bringing
on the victory In Monroe county. They
worked night and day and used their own
money to pay the expenses of their campaign,
without receiving anything from the county
committee. Pomeroy P. Dickluson Is their
leader. They have 1.000 voters on the rolls
and will have a permanent oounty organiza

l'ulled Through the Deinocrntio Ticket In
Queens Against Big Odds.
Probably the biggest man In tho borough of
Queens to-day is Leader John P. Madden, to
whom Is duo the credit for t,he-Democratlo vic
tory in that borough, which gave Van Wyck
almost 3.000 plurality and pulled through the
local ticket and a State Senator against what
seemed like certain defeat. It Is snld that the
politics ot evory man registered In the borough
was known to Leader Madden, who predicted
almost exactly how the different districts ot
tho borough would go.
Among the Republican candidates who were
overwhelmed by the Doraocratlo sweep wns
Charles E. Twombly ot Jamaica, nominee for
Senator. His opponent was James Norton,
formerly Bheriff of Queens county. Norton
lives In Glen Cove, nnd is not a favorito with the
rank and fllo of his party, Everywhere It was
predicted that he would bo cut. But few Dem
ocrats had tho temerity to place uny money on
Norton ngatnstTwombly, although Mr, Madden
assured his followers that Norton was a good
risk, On tho other hnnd, every time the
Twombly men succeeded, In gottlng a bet
against Norton thoy looked upon Has finding
so much money. JVIien the, returns began
coming in on election night Norton was prob
ably about ns much surprised as was Twombly.
In tho fight for Hurroitato of Queens county
between Daniel Noblo, Demociut, and Willlnin

The Democrats Have Gained Blx Con-a-restinen
Col. Stone riurnllly for
Governor Will Do lBO.OOO-Mnny Antl
Qnny Members nf the Legislature Klecteil
IlAnnisntinii, Pa,. Nov. 0. From the latest re
turns tho Democrats scorn to havo gained six
Congressmen In Pennsylvania, BtnnloyDavon
port apparently having defeated Morgnn B.
Williams, tho presont Republican Representa
tive In the Luzerno district. During tho enm
palgn It was suggostcd that Davenport had de
veloped unoxpeotcd strength, but whon tho
dominant party rolled up so largo a voto for
the Republican candidates throughout tho
State It wns believed that Williams would win
out. Republican leaders aro much disap
pointed over tho unfqrtunato results In the
Congress dlstrlols, and the factional differ
ences In tho party nro given as tho loading
cause ot tho loss. Sibley, tho freo sllverltoln
tho Twenty-seventh district, defeated Charles
W. Stone by taking ndvantagoof tho fooling of
hostility shown by the G. A. R. mon against
Stone by reason ot somo Post Offlco appoint
ments. It Is said that tho old noldlors favored
a popular comrodo for the Post Office at Frank
lin. In Venango county, nnd when he was
turned down thoy vowed vengeance. Charles
W. fitone almost defeated the Govornor-oleet
for the nomination nt the last State Convention
and some of the ultra-Quay men chilled toward
him. Ho will bo missed in the House, where
he was an authority on tlio currency question.
Brumm's defeat in tho Schuylkil district by
Ryan. Democrat, was not entirely unexpected.
although It was thought last night that ho
might pull through. Ho was a strong sup
porter of Senator Quay, and tho factional con
test on this Issue was vory bitter in his district.
Klrkpatrlck made a good run In thoXorthamp
ton district, whore he had the help of tho Pro
hibitionists, tho regular Prohibition candidate
having withdrawn In his favor, but tho normal
Democratla voto was too great to overcomo
when the Democratto factions burled tho
hatchet and unltod on Barber. Ktrkoatrick
and Stone of Warron havo been chums evor
slnco the time that they were members of the
official family of Gov. Beaver Stono as Secre
tary of tho Commonwealth and Klrkpatrlok as
Attorney-Gcncrnl.
Arnold also contended against Demooratlo
odds in tho Clearfield district, and Buffers de
feat at the hands of J. K. P. Hall, a momber of
a famous Elk county family ot Domocrats who
have figured prominently In politics for years.
Hall accepted the Chicago platform, but It Is
not likely that he will take any part In a silver
crusade whloh will affect business. Ho Is largely
interested in Important business enterprises.
McAlcer, reelected In the Third district, is a
gold Democrat, and was sent back to Congress
by the aid ot the Republicans, who placed no
body in the Hold -against him. Woodln was
handicapped in tho Northumberland district,
which was formorly represented by Wolverton
nnd later by "Farmer" Kulp. but he had tho
help of a big revival in business in his district
under tho McKinley bill, and it was thought
that ho would mannge to get through tho Dem
ocrats trenchos. but Capt. Polk, a descendant
ot the one-time President, was too much for
him.
Col. Stone, who bore the standard of his
party to victory, will havo under tho present
ratio of gains over tho vote last year nt least
150.000 plurality. Gen. Gobln. the Lieutenant-Governor-elect,
will lead Col. Stone, and Daven
port, ono of the Congressmen at large, will fall
behind Grow, his colleague, because ho Is sus
pected of sllvor tendencies, nnd further be
l cause tho railroad men supported Wollor
(Dem.l. who was the author ot th bill passed
by the last Legislature giving railroaders the
right to join tlio various brotherhoods without
hindrance or restriction by tho railroad tor
porntlons. The I'hlladolphln nnd Reading
Compinywas opposed to the bill, and some
firomlnent Republican politicians wore active
n opposition to It. whila others wero just as
active for it.
Tho legislature will bo largely Republican
on joint bnllot. but the lines between the Quay
nnd anti-Quay factions will be close, the Dem
ocrats holding the balance of power. It Is re
ported that Konator Quay will not be n candi
date when tho time comes, and that Senator C.
L Magee of Pittsburg will have tho support of
both factions. I
Col Stone will lmmed!atly resign as a mom
ber of Congress from the district in Allegheny
county which he has represented i for several
years, so that a special election may bo held for
i the choice of his successor for theunllnfshpd
i term. Graham. Republican, who was elected
yesterday for the next session, will be soloctnd.
Gen. Gobln, w ho Is a member of the State Son
ate, will also resign, and a special election will
be held to 1111 the vacancy.
PniLADnr.ruiA, Nov. . Tho voto cast in this
city yesterday was the largest o . er polled. The
aggregate was 104.000, against 102.000 for
Auditor-General last oar and 105,000 for

on the county ticket was t;iU.fjno for Coroner
Samuel H, Ashbridge. Tho local Prohibition
vote was about 7.000 Swallow's voto was a
surprise, being loss than half the number it
was generally thought he would have. Incom
plete roturns from the Stato indicate that the
total Swallow vote will scarcely exceed 100.000.
as compared with 118,001) In 18n7.whon ho
wns a candidate for State Treasurer.
Four members of tho HtatoflHnnto and thlrty
nlnn Representatives In the lowor house of the
Legislature were chosen. Throe of tho four
Stato Senators-elect am anti-Quay. Tho othef
seven from Philadelphia who hold over are for
Quay. Tho Philadelphia delegation In tho
House of Representatives In the now Legisla
ture are classified thus: Quay, 20; anti-Quay,
10: doubtful. 3. I
Roturns. as they como In from remoto dis
tricts, point to an overwhelming Republican
sweep. Htono's plurality for Governor may
reach 150.000 The Swallow movement all
through the State seems to havo collapsod at
the polls.
Tho complexion of the next Legislature,
which will elect a United States Senator In
January to suecoed Senator Quay, Is yet n sub
ject of speculation. Republican Stato Chair
man Klkln to-day confidently claimed a major
ity of tho members-elect for Quay and a ma
jority on joint ballot for Quay In both houses,
exclusive of the supporters of Magee and Mar
tin. Tho Democrats attribute tho overwhelm
ing Republican victory to tho efficiency of tho
State organization and tho factional disturb
ance In the ranks of tho local Democracy In
Philadelphia. Thousands of Democrats In this
city voted yesterday for Stono. offsetting tho
Republican votes that were cast for Jenks, giv
ing ourrency to the anto-olectlon rumors that
Gnrman. Gaffney and Ryan had. completely
sold out to the Quay managers.
OUR XE1T COVSTT.
Ifassau Will Degln with Two Democrats
and Fimr Republicans In Oillce.
Nassau oounty will begin Its official existence
the first of the year with a county govern
ment composed of two Democrats and four
Republicans. It was a tight tight on tho county
ticket from beginning to end, and ono of the
sujoessful candidates just slipped through by
something ovor fifty votes. Party lines were
broken through and everybody pitched In for
himself. Then thero was tho absorbing ques
tion to be settled as to wliero the county seat
should be located. Hempstead, Mlnoola nnd
Illcksvllle all aspired Zto the honor. There
appeared to be a standing prejudice against
nempstoad. Farmers and baymen made' up
their minds that Hempstead was a little bit
too aristocratic for them, so they went to work
for Mlneola. A turthor Inducement for lo
cating the county seat nt Mlueola was the of
fer ot the Garden City Company to donate a

Hataxa, Nov. f. Last evening Kl Jv'oficfrro
Universal a rabid newspaper which formorly
advocated annexation, bub has Inttorly becomo
an oxtromo antl-nnnexatlon organ, publlshod
a violent artlelo against Vhe Amorlcan army
and tho American peoplo full of the grossest In
sults, The editors of tho papor tried yesterday
forenoon to have tho article passed by tho press
censor, but thntofflcer refused to pass tt. In tho
attornoon a second artlelo was submitted to the
censor. This modification of tho original artlelo
was milder In Its terms, but tt was still rory In
sulting to the Americans, nnd tho censor again
refused his approval. Tho editors then pub
lished the offenelvo nrtlclo without permission,
and Its appearance created a groat sensation.
When notified ot tho facts Capft-Gen. Blanco
ordored tho editors, Seflores Carrlo nnd Polo,
both of whom woro formerly ofneors In the vol
unteers, to bo arrested and locked up In the
Cabana fortress, and the newspaper has been
suppressed.
Tho offensive article called the Americans
cowards, who did not daro to oome'to Havana
and'fight, and denounood them for the outrages
which, the writer declared, hnd ben commit
ted against women and peaceful Inhabitants In
Porto Rico by the American array ot occupa
tion, Ono of the editors Is tho man who somo
time ago denounced the American Commis
sioners, accusing them of Intending to cause
trouble over the proposed return to Cuba of
the expatriated criminals known asNanlgos,
who were sent to the penal station at Couta by
Geni Weyler and subsequently were released
by order of Gen. Blanco.
Seflores Cnrrip and Pola are still looked up. In
spite of Captain-General Blanco's strong Span
ish feeling and his correct attitude as a Spanish
Genorni during ths war. He Is the guarantee
of order here, and that Is why the peoplo aro
apprehonstvo of the situation when the ropurt
circulates that he Is going to Spain before the
Americans take control.

HA.TANA, Nov. O.Another proof of courtesy
was given to-day by tho Spanish authorities to
the Americans. One of tlio insurgent clubs es
tablished in the town ot Regla, across tho bay
from Havana, which belongs to tho political
machlno known as tho Cuban Junta, met to
pass resolutions against the American Govern
ment and to ask President McKinley what his
intentions are regarding Cuba.
Captaln-Goncral lVJanco considered the meet
ing to bo an nttempt to mako trouble and to
support the ant I-American campaign that has
boon startodbythe uncompromising factions
ot the Spaniards and Cubans. Ho therefore
issued orders that tho mooting be stopped and
tho club disbanded, and bis orders were car
ried out by tho Civil Governor of Havana, Seflor
Don Fernandez de Castro,
Then a pollto note was sont by the Spanish
Commissioners to the Americans notifying
them of the action taken by the Government,
and promising that all similar meetings and
attacks upon the Amoricans would be sup
pressed hereaftor.

llostot It Supposed to Hnve Been Put Up
by Tammnny to Influence Sentiment."
Bettors upon Roosevelt were In nn onthusl
astlo mood yesterday, and thoso who hnd hot
upon Van Wyck wero correspondingly de
pressed. 8mall bots all over town woro bolng
paid, tha stakeholders being satisfied that tho
official count could make no such material
changes as to affect tho general result, not
withstanding that tho voto of tho soldiers has
not beon made publlo yet. Bo far. howovcr.
as tho big wagers mado In the Wall stroot dis
trict and elsowhero woro concerned thoro
woro no payments yesterday. At the office of
-ion x vo., wno woro tho handlers of tlio uuik
of tho Van Wyck betting money. It wns stated
early in tho day that tho firm, In cases whore
It held the stakes, was unwilling to pay any
bets unless with tho consent ot both parties to
the bet, until tho result was more definitely
known. In tho afternoon K. II. 'lalcott of tho
firm said that he expected all bets would bo
paid to-day.
"Mr. Charles Edason of our firm," said Mr.
Taleott, "will bo at work the sreator part of
tho night checking up bets nnd expects to bo
able to roleaso the money to-morrow. As
soon as tho bets are chocked off, thoy will be
paid. It Is cot customary to pay bots on the
day after ccletlon day, ns it takes some time
to adjust the books. Betting men do not
quibble over technicalities, and those whom
wo have represented will pay their monov
promptly. Thero won't bo any hitch because
of tho soldier vote.
'"About $500,000 was bot upon the election In
Wall ttreet. and ot this, lu round numbers,
the bets to which Bill A Co. woro a party rep
resented $275,000."
Trom this statement It was presumed In
wall street that tho persons whoso money Bell
A, Co. bet upon Vnn Wyck had given up all
hope and woro willing to consent to tho dis
tribution to the successful Roosevelt bettors
of the money staked. Just who Bell A, Co.
represented has not boen made public, but It
has been understood In Wull street that tho
money came direct from Richard Crokor.
Some oHt may have represented Mr. Croker's
firivate moans, but it has been believed that
he bulk of It represented n fund raised bv
Tammany Hall to bo utilized for betting with
the vlow of changing tho oddH so ns to favor
Van Wyck and thus to affect publlo sentiment.
Early In the campaign tlin betting odds fa
vored Roosevelt, but tho Tammany betting
fund changed the odds so that torn time thoy
were 10 to 8 nnil 10 to 7 on Van Wyck. Thoro
was a rush o eagor Roosevelt bettors to cover
tho Tammany cash and all that was offored at
such odds wns quickly absorbed. The ills
appearance ot the Tammany money resulted
In the odds reverting sharply so as to make
Roosevelt again the favorito at 10 to 8 for
largo bets, with some small bots mado at 2
to 1.
Tho largest bet in tho Wall street district
was mado by Chslrtran Benjamin B. Odoll of
tho Republican State Committee, represent
ing some friends, who on Hatunlay last bet
with Bell & Co. $20,000 oven that Roosevelt
would win. Mr. Odell put up twenty $1,000
bills, whloh. with Boll A Co.'s certified check
for $20,000, woro doposited with Mooro &
Bchley.
Some of tho biggest winners In Wall street
are: Jacob Field, a new member of tho htock
Exchange, who is said to bo about $55,000
ahead : Alfred de Cordova, whose winnings aro
estimated at from $40,000 to $50 000 ; Wosser

Mr. "Henry D. Purroy had this to say yester
day about tho election :
" I rejolco beyond all measure at tho glorious
vlotory which tho Ropubllcnn candidate for
Governor. Theodora Itoosovolt aided by many
courageous Democrats has won so nobly nnd
ao deservedly. As I snld to the reporter ot The
Sun at tho groat Roosevelt meeting at Glens
Falls, this fight has been the motropollsogalnst
the rest of the Empire Stato, and tho unwlso
nomination of tho brother of our Mayor (both
of them resldonta o'f this city) only served to
brutally emphasize this Issue. Under ordi
nary conditions, this would havo beon un
doubtedly a Democratic yenr and no Repub
lican candidato could have won. even against
van Wyok, oxcopt Theodore Roosovolt Col.
Roosovolt's splendid victory not only means
thnt no Irresponslblo private citizen will
over be permitted to subjugate both our
ott v and our State governments ; It also Insures
a cleaner and bettor administration for this
metropolis beforo ery long. In fact, far
greater surprises might occur than forusto
see Beth Low who was only dofeatod last year
by a foolish dlv Islon our next Mayor, and that
beforo very long. The decent peoplo of this
Stnto. of all parties, have at last electid toa most
powerful and commanding position a man of
exceptlonnl ability, integrity, courage and
vigor, around whom they can rally with tlio
utmost eonfldonce and whose brave flgura Is
to-day tho rising sun In the political horizon.
