Superintendent Byrnes. On the whole it was a
quiet election in this city.

New York Recorder (Rep.), Nov. 9.—It is a pity that New York has dropped out of the Republican column. It is deplorable that the metropolis, which is the greatest manufacturing city on the continent, should give so overwhelming a vote to a candidate and to a party standing on a platform diametrically opposed to her chief industries. If she suffers she will have only herself to blame.

Philadelpia Press (Rep.), Nov. 9.—The Democratic victory in New York State is won south of the Harlem River, the joint work of Tammany Hall and the Kings County Democracy, aided by all the lesser rings which plunder the taxpayer in the remaining three counties below the dividing line between the metropolitan district of New York and its rural counties. Democratic pluralities like these have not been seen in New York and Kings County in twenty years, or since legislation in protection of the ballot-box, passed on the morrow of Tweed's downfall, gave the Republicans an equal share of the watchers at every poll in these two counties. The coincidence is remarkable. On

the change of the election laws of the State in favor of a corrupt vote, the Democratic majorities in these two great cities return to the figures at which the country was aghast in 1868 and 1870.

Philadelphia Ledger (Ind.-Rep.), Nov. 10.New York, it is seen in the light of the returns, was not necessary to Cleveland's success. George Washington (first time, 1789); James Madison, in 1816; James Buchanan, in 1856; U. S. Grant, in 1868, and R. B. Hayes, in 1876, were elected without its vote.

TOO MUCH Over-Confidence.

New York Tribune (Ref.), Nov. 9.—It is doubtless the fact that in their anticipations of a Republican victory in New York the party managers had failed to give due consideration to the continuing force and effect of the defeat a year ago. Such a defeat has a disorganizing influence upon the party which suffers it, and a correspondingly salutary influence upon the party which inflicts it. From that disaster and its immediate consequences, by which the Democracy seized the entire machinery of government in this State, the Republican party has manifestly not recovered.

CONDUCT OF THE ELECTION IN NEW YORK CITY.

New York Tribune (Rep.), Nov. 9.-That the Presidential election of 1892 was the most peaceful and most harmonious on record, will probably be admitted by the historian of future The superb police arrangements of Superintendent Byrnes may be aimost wholly responsible for the quietude which prevailed in all parts of the metropolis, and nowhere more so than in the great East Side. On occasions of this kind the East Side is a pretty good index of the conditions over the rest of the city. The thousands of poor people-Poles,

THE WEATHER NOT RESPONSIBLE.

New York Tribune (Rep.).—If Nov. 8 had not been distinguished as the day of a national election it would have escaped oblivion by reason of the superb weather which came with it. The prophets predicted a persistent rain, but they were never more deceived. Clear, crisp, sparkling, exhilarating through all its hours, yesterday made a record which will not often be equalled on Nov. 8.

New York Recorder (Rep.).-Was there ever a lovelier day for elections? In the memory of the oldest inhabitant the sun never shone so brightly on election day. The air was balmy as spring-time. It was what the English would call Queen's Weather, what the Germans call Kaiser wetter, and what we call real Republican Weather.

SENATOR HILL'S COUNTY.

McKane sent carriages and four-horse teams out in all directions to gather in the voters. He professed to be disappointed at the vote. Even when the 2d district reported 1,083 for Cleveland and 8 for Harrison he said: "That's too bad. I had hoped to make it unanimous.” The seven United States Deputy Marshals turned up in the morning, and the Chief and his friends looked them over. As they marched past he said to his lieutenants: "As long as they behave themselves, let 'em alone. They are Germans and well behaved." The Federal officers proved to be well behaved, and the genial Chief went across the street and left orders at the hotel that the Deputy Marshals should have all they wanted to eat or drink at his expense.

GOVERNOR BILLY RUSSELL.

New York Evening Post (Ind.-Dem.), Nov. 9.-Returns from about two-thirds of Massachusetts indicate that Governor Russell may possibly be reëlected by a small plurality. If the full vote sustains these indications, it will prove one of the greatest personal triumphs ever achieved by a public man in this country. Massachusetts is a Republican State, and has chosen Harrison Electors by a majority of probably 20,000, but there is so much independence among her voters that about 10,000. men who supported Harrison for President at the same time voted for Russell for Governor, on the ground that he was the better man of the two candidates and deserved another term. It is a matter of little consequence to the Gov

ernor, however, whether he is reëlected or not. In either case no man of his generation has a brighter political future before him, and the best of it is that he deserves all that he has had or may yet receive.

Boston Globe (Dem.), Nov. 9.-Governor Russell's physical stamina and unflagging mental power during the campaign which has just closed has been the theme of well-nigh universal comment and admiration. He closed the campaign after making twenty-two speeches in one day, the final rush being a rare feat of pluck New York World.-There are many sur- and endurance.

JOHN Y. MCKANE, BOSS OF GRAVESEND.
New York Herald (Ind.), Nov. 9.-There
is no Democratic voter within a radius of one

hundred miles who does not know John Y.
McKane, Chief of Police of Gravesend. If
there is one, he was not entitled to vote yester-
day. It is more than probable that Chief Mc-
Kane is known to every man in the voting dis-
trict of Gravesend. The Czar of Russia claims
to be the absolute ruler of all his vast territory.
Chief McKane makes the same claim. The

McKane-better known as Gravesend-the
vote for Harrison was 290, while the vote for
Mr. Cleveland was 2,947. That is a remark-
able showing, is it not? In this town of
Gravesend these boroughs are included: Coney
Island, Sheepshead Bay, Unionville, King's
Highway, and Woodlawn. Chief McKane is
the political Czar of Gravesend and all lands
appertaining thereto. Four years ago he claims
to have been antagonized by Cleveland, and
he promptly threw a minority against

Union, and his destiny is not circumscribed by
Massachusetts.

Boston Herald (Ind.-Dem.), Nov. 9.-Republican Presidents had never before failed to carry the election of Governor of Massachu

setts with them by at least 25,000 majority,

and had more than once swept them into office by two or three times that preponderance. Even this Governor Russell appears to have now overcome. It is, as we have said, the crowning achievement of his political life. There was a confident prediction that it could not be accomplished, and an extraordinary effort was made for its prevention. The Governor engaged in the work gallantly, and his campaign has been crowned with a success which will add new laurels to one of the most remarkable young men who have appeared upon the stage of American public affairs in this generation.

OHIO.

[There was no indication of possible Democratic success in Ohio given in last Wednesday's returns. Even the Wednesday evening newspapers contained no hii.t of this surprising development. The reason was that comparisons of the vote in Ohio were made with the Campbell vote of 1889, instead of with the Presidential vote of 1888 or the McKinley vote of 1891. Accordingly our readers must wait until next week for general press comments on Ohio.]

to enliven the sad occasion by sending down a

OTHER PARTICULARS.

Dispatch from White Plains, N. Y.-The town of White Plains gives a majority of 72 for Cleveland. In 1888 it gave 52 for Harrison. The town of Harrison, in which Whitelaw Reid lives, gives 20 majority for Cleveland, a Democratic gain of 32 over 1888. loses his own election district by 5. It gave 6 majority for Harrison in 1888.

Mr. Reid

New York Sun, Nov. 9. -The election returns arrived slowly at Ophir Farm last night, and Mr. Whitelaw Reid sat up until an early hour of the morning. Mr. Reid dined late, and then retired to his library with his wife and Mr. D. O. Mills, his father-in-law, to await the result of the counting. It was plain that Mr. Reid was nervous. His hair was in disorder, possibly from leaning on his hand and figuring over majorities. As he talked to the newspaper men he laughed nervously, and moved from one part of the room to another.

New York Evening Post, Nov. 9.—

But can the acquisitions of knowledge by Mr. Wayne MacVeagh during the canvass compare for one moment with that of the Hon. Whitelaw Reid during the past twenty-four hours?

New York Times, Nov. 10.-An editor, even though he be a defeated candidate for the VicePresidency, ought to print the news. Of course it was hard for Mr. Whitelaw Reid to admit defeat. But what a telling stroke of enterprise it would have been for the Tribune to print the news from Ohio, twenty-four hours in advance of its alert contemporaries, in this spirit: "As a candidate I gnash my teeth, but here's the Tribune with all the news, and just see how William McKinley and I are licked."

MR. DEPEW's FEELINGS.

We proved that the Democratic party had no principles. We proved that the Democratic party is incapable of business. We show that Mr. Cleveland has filed from his own doctrines.

The fact that with all these things in our favor we are still not absolutely sure of success would be startling if we did not know the desperate and disreputable methods which confront us.

This, however, is not their main reliance, nor is it our greatest danger. It is a confession most humiliating to American citizenship that with a cause so thoroughly intrenched in reason, and commending itself so clearly to the intelligence of patriotic Americans, we daily hear predictions of Republican success, based upon the ability of that party to purchase the votes of the people.

THE EVENING POST'S" SPASMS OF JOY. New York Tribune (Rep.), Nov. 10.-There are compensations in defeat. Our amiable contemporary, the New York Evening Post, is having such a good time jumping up and down saying: "We told you so," and charging everybody with lying who took a different view from its own, that the exhibition goes far toward reconciling us to the result of the election. And we are rather disposed to think that the personal blackguardism with which its editorial page is both spiced and illuminated is more genial and sparkling and much less venomous than it would have been under other circumstances.

Croker, Gilroy, Sheehan, and Murphy should so stultify themselves as to be straining every nerve for the election of a man of whom they declared, over their own signatures, that it would be impossible for him to carry this State.
