REFORMERS ELECT TH E STATE
TREASURER AND PHILADEL-
PHIA CITY TICKET.
I
Philadelphia, Nov. 9.The political
revolution in this city and state was
the greatest that has occurred in
Pennsylvania in nearly a generation.
There have been previous upheavals,
but this is the first time in years
that every office for which there was
any semblance of a contest has been
lost to the regular Republicans. It is
also the first time in a quarter of a
century that the regular Republicans
have been defeated tor control of the
state treasury.
The plurality of William H: Berry,
who was nominated by the Demo
cratic, Independent party, Lincoln
party and Prohibitionists for state
treasurer, will be nearly 100,000 and
luay go above those figures. J. Lee
Plummet, the Republican candidate,
ran far behind his ticket in nearly
svery county in the state. The re
mainder ot the Republican ticket was
elected by the usual Republican plural
ities. President Roosevelt's plurality
last ear was more than half a million.
The victory ot the City party, the
felorm organization, o\er the regular
Republicans in Philadelphia was com
plete an beyond the expectations of
the retoini leaders. The Cu\ party's
plurality is 4[},'\Z3. The reiorm wave

ALTY ELECTION. "i
New York Nov. &."Whether George
B. McClellaja or William R. Hearst is
to be the next mayor of Gi eater
New York must be decided by the
courts. Full returns from every elec
tion district give McClellan a plurality
ot 3,4SJ, hut this is so smallonly a
little more than on halt of one per
cent ot the vote castthat a recount
and TPinspection ot the ballots might
easily sweep it away and sho*w Hearst
the winner. Indignant at what he be
lieved to be suspicious holding back
of returns and roused to passionate
resentment by stones of violence and
outrage at the polls told at his head
quarters by scores ot his followers
Mr. Hearst refused to admit defeat an
declared that he would see that every
man that voted for him got a tair count
of his vote In his demand for a re
count Mr Hearst is supported by Dis
trict Attorney William T. Jerome, him

fight against the great Tammany ma
chine
Bird ii. Oolcr, elected president ot
the boiough ot Brooklyn on the Mu
nicipal Ownership League ticket, also
suppoits Mr. Hearst's contention that
he was rightfully elected. Mr. Coler
said:
"Mr. Heart has been elected bv 10,-
000 \otes. Jle h?s been cheated by
tremendous fiauds ot Tammany Hall.
There is no doubt whatever of his
election. 1 shall work nisht and day
to see that tusace is done."
SCCTIES OF ARRESTS f/ADE.
Many Philadelphians Accused c?

Phiiadelnhia, Nov. .9.Never in the'
history ot Philadelphia elections have
so many arrests been made as in the
contest which resulted in the defeat of
the Republican organization by the'
Reform City party. Scores of prison-'

lore Magistiate Eisbrown at the Cen
tral Police court in the city hall and
nearly 100 who were arrested are un-1

The charges against the defendants are
varied, but the majority of them are

ENTIRE CITY TICKET OF
PHILADELPHIA.
New York, Nov. 9.The city of New
York, complete but unofficial, gives
McClellan 3,485 plurality over Hearst.
The total vote was McClellan 22S.651,
Hearst 225,106, Ivins 137,049. District
Attorney Jerome, Independent, was re
elected by a plurality of over 11,000.
William R. Hearst, Municipal Own
ership candidate for mayor, charges
Tammany Hall with fraud and will
contest the election. Mr. Hearst in
making his contest may demand that
^ach ot the i,48U ballot boxes used in
the election be biought betore the
board ol aldermen and a count of the
ballots made by that body. Then if
dissatisfied Mr. Hearst may throw the
whole matter into the courts for de
tision and it that is done the battle
irohauly will be a long and intricate
one.' iu addition to the procedure be
tore the aldermen and the regular con- I
test in the courts Mr. Hearst may, of i
course, bung to the attention of the I
authonties each individual case oi
iraujd or 'violence that may be dis- i
covered. Although McClellan on the
face ot the complete, but unofficial re
turns, was elected by a plurality of I
2,483, the Democrats lost heavily in
the contest. The election of William
T. Jerome, Independent, as district at- I
torney is a severe blow to the Tarn
many organization, which exerted all
the toice at its command" to defeat
him. His victory is remarkable when
it is considered that he was the can
didate of no party and made his ap
peal lor \otes solely on his record in
ofuce lor the last four years and that
every man who voted for him voted a
split ticket The board of aldermen,
too, is lost to Tammany, they having
but 25 members of the board, against
38 Republicans aad 9 Municipal Own
ership members. In addition to losing
the board of aldermen Tammany lost
