Chairman Dick read hia lust dispatch Indicating a Republican plurality, 130,000 to 140,000, and nineteen of Mary Farley Kcinarliablo Statement About John The examination of Mary Farley, the youthful domestic who was arrested some days ago for stealing a lot of valuable Jewelry from Mrs. B.

F. Hoyt of 14 Vernon place, was held in the Gates avenuo police court this morning on a charge of grand larceny. Her lover, John J. Duffy of 911 Myrtle avenue, was also arraigned as the girl's accomplice in the crime. Mary's own admissions wore sufficient to send her to the grand Jury, and she returned to Raymond street Jail, where she has been ever since her arrest, to await her chances of indictment.

When Duffy was examined Mary was called as a witness for the people. Sho created no little excitement by pointing dramatically at Duffy and exclaiming. In withering tones: "I took this watch and he stole it from me In a Fulton street car. I also gave him the $50 obtained by pawning the rest of the Jewelry. Altogether I have given him $265 in cash, and in return he has done all he could to ruin my life.

My only hope now is to see him punished." The evidence against Duffy will scarcely be sufficient to Indict, and much testimony was adduced as to his good character, but Justloe Quigley considered it better to hold him for examination. LONG BLAND SWEPT, TOO Ring Bursting: and Reform the Order of the Day. Sufphln for County Clerk and Vaddrn for Assembly fho Only Democrats Elected In Queens Snffollc Republican by 8,300, With Smlthtown the Only Crumb of Comfort The election figures for the Long Island counties of Queens and Suffolk show that the vote polled In many sections of the two rural counties was quite equal to that of a presidential year. Taking the territory as a whole the vote was by far the heaviest ever polled on a so called off year. In Queens county the fight made by the Republicans to capture the county offices and elect their congressman and assemblymen was tho most aggressive in the history of local Republicanism.

Their organization wan complete and the Republican vote cast this year will long serve, in a comparative sonce, as the high water mark of that party in the county. The Democrats were not well organized and, handicapped by weak nominations in several instances, and disgruntled factory men in the manufac turing localities, had an uphill time of it in their poll working. ine office of county clerk, which has been held for eight successive terms by the Democratic leader of the county, John H. Sutphin, was the prize most largely sought by the Republicans. Charles T.

Phipps, one of the strongest men in tHo party, was chosen by the Republicans to make the fight against Sutphin. The handsome majority of Mr. Sutphin has practically disDelled anv Iden. of a change of management In the county clerk's oiuce wnne Mr. Butphln is willing to hold the place.

News from various sections of the county early last evening indicated a far greater falling off of the Hill vote than shown Dy tne figures, while that of Wheeler was underestimated. Many of the Wheeler votes are credited to Republicans, who, during the last four days of the campaign, showed considerable indifference toward the Morton cause. Down in Suffolk countv the vote waft heftTv. although the campaign was devoid of any great iocai interest. Outside of the effort of the personal friends of the congress and assembly candidates the hustling at the polls was for the state ticket.

The vote was gotten out early in the day, and in nearly all the towns the vote cast up to noon was larger than the vote cast up to that time in any previous election. (Special to the Eagle.) Patchogue, L. I. Election day passed off very quietly in this village. In three districts, including East Patchogue and Blue Point, the total registration was 1.186.

The vote cast is about 900. Greater interest has Been manifested in this election than for many yeare. The vote In Patchogue was fully 200 in access of the usual vote polled. The votes of the district is largely composed of baymen. (Special to the Eagle.) Glen Cove In each of the thirteen districts of Oyster Bay town the vote polled was very heavy.

Great interest was manifested in tho county ticket, the Republicans making a strong fight to elect their candidate for sheriff and county clerk. The vote was nearly 25 per cent, ahead of the usual number polled. The apathy of Democrats, leaders included, was noted in every polling district. (Special to the Eagle.) Rlverhead, L. I.

Election day passed off very quietly in this town. The vote polled was about the same as last year. The farm ers voted largely against the canal amendments. The seventeen tickets created some little oonfusion among the electors and voting was therefore slow. The Republicans were vc ry active and their whole force was out.

The Democrats on the other hand seemed to have very little heart in their work. The Republicans were more particular to vote the amendments than their Democratic brethren were to vote against them. (Speoial to the Eagle.) Nerwtown. L. November 7 For tho first time in its history the town of Newtown went Republican yesterday.

The majority for Morton and the entire Republican stato ticket is 170. James S. Fairbrother, the Republican candidate for assembly, carried tho town by 409. Richard C. Me Cormlck, Republican candidate for congress, received a majority of 249 in the town.

Even John H. Butphln, the Democratic candidate for reelection as county clerk, failed to carry this heretofore staunch Democratic town, his opponent, Mr. Phipps, receiving a majority of twelve. Doht, the Republican candidate for sheriff, whose home Is in Newtown, received the unprecedented majority of 1,145. TROUBLES OF THE DOTTH8.

Manly W. Downs, a prominent farmer, churchman and temperance worker of Northville, near Rlverhead. who was recently arrested in Brooklyn, was tried before Justice James L. Millard on Monday afternoon and evening on a charge of abandonment preferred by his wife, Augusta. The testimony was filled with sensational Incidents.

Decision was reserved. TO CKOTT OVER TAHMA5Y. Morris Fells is a glazier and lives at 70S Gates avenuo.

SEEPAED AND GAYNOR. Statements From Both as to the Election. The Former Is rnt'sfi. With Wheeler's Vote and Predicts Thut the Di mocratlc Organization In Tills Comity Will Pe Hcfcrmed The Judge Talks About Sew York City. Edward M.

Shenard said this morning: "I regard tho vote for Wheeler as entirely satisfactory. It is a remarkable evidence of the movement of Democrats to what may be called a conscience position. It means a re organization of Democracy in tho state. The large vote for tho Republican local ticket was a voto against Hill. Not only tho Republicans but largo numbers of Democrats deemed it necessary for Hill's defeat to voto for Morton, and having determined to voto for Morton they found it easier and thought it safer to take tho whole Republican ballot.

The vote for tho reform Democratic local ticket has In that way seriously suffered. It is largo enough, however, to show that there can be no Democratic politics in Kings county until Democracy shall stand for the true Interests of the county. Our organization has had a satisfactory success for its first battlo. n.nd will press resolutely on until all Democrats shall be proud of their party In Brooklyn. The city 1b In reality Democratic and will remain so.

The destruction of Hill, the destruction of Tammany hall and the reduction of tho Wtlloughby street machine to tho possession, in Kplte of the long time discipline and tradition of their platoons of voters, of only one third of tho total vote In Brooklyn, arouse In mo so much satisfaction and give so great a promise of healthier politics in the future that I almost forgive the Republicans of Kings county, who, in spite of our anticipations and their promises, voted thoir whole ticket, state and local." Judgo Gaynor gave the following statement to an Eaglo reporter this morning When asked to express an opinion on the result ot the election "I have nothing to add to what I put in writing at Rlverhead and a few days rater except to express gratification at the condemnation of low, base, vulgar and corrupt government in the city of Now York. As I have said often bofore they Beem to have levied toll cm everyone over thero, not even excepting the wages of tho prostHute. It. could not fail to have an effect on the people." EXCELLENT PREDICTIONS Made a Few ilaura Ago by Local Calnilutone. This is what they eaid Monday: Uncle Dan Bradley The reform Democratic eity and county tiekets will win from top to bottom.

I shall bo elected by from a thousand up. Morton will win by 50,000 ana Strong and Goff in New ork by 25,000. The McMahou Grant paster with Hill's numo is worth 10,000 votes to tho reform tickets. J. Warren Greeno I can Bee no reason why wo should not win.

Wo shall get half the Democratic voto and if the Republicans givo u. 10,000 or 20.000 there wo are. Owen F. Flnnerty I shall unquestionably bo elected. Charles J.

His administration was honest, he rodnced tho taxes to tho lowest point they bad reached In eight years and freed the state from debt. He is an honest man and will roceivo tho vote of every Democrat. Justice John J. Walsh Tho outlook is promising. I tnlnk we'll win.

Lawrence J. Carroll of tho Fourteenth ward I thinit Hill will bo elected and Pat Doran, our coustabto In tho Fourteenth ward. Purther than that I havo no prediction to make. Coroner Kene There is no question In my mind ubout tho result. Wo'll elect Governor Hill by a handsomo majority.

Congressman Magnur Not since 1M02 have I obsorveo anything liko the enthusiasm ot this your, particularly in tho of Senator Hill. I lm ro met very few Democrats, none except intense Shupnrd men, who won't voto for liim, n.nd many of them will.

On thn othor hand I've met a number of It publlcans who will enter thoir protest against Plntt by voting for Wheeler, I believe that 3Ir. Hili will reeeivo a greater vote than In IHsS. The same people who oppose him now opposed him then, but tlinro of them then ilrm now. mid ho won notnrlthMnnri inr. I cannot sue how with fewer numbers this year they will defeat him.

THE VOTE IS EXCEEDINGLY CLOSE. Only About One bair or ho Voters Cast Their Ballot on tho Proposition, and the Defeat of ike Movement Is Confidently Proclaimed Iiy be Loyal Citizens of Brooklyn Who Opposed the Margins or the Two CHIesT Jlany Districts ftlii To Be Heard From. Aguinot Consolidation For Consolidation 36,986 majority Agalnt (Several Districts Missing 1,653 Consolidation, so far as Brooklyn la concerned, is defeated and by a majority sufficiently large to Overcome whatever difference the missing districts may make in the totals. During the early part of election night the returns showed small margins in favor of the question, but as tho districts got down to the work of canvassing a gradual but sure strength was shown in favor of maintaining the birthright that Brooklyn has so gradually won and which she has so gallantly redeemed from the clutch of those who sell her out for mess of pottage. The figures aro worthy of special study, showing as they do that several of the wards that were regarded as thte strongest in favor of consolidation were the ones that gave the largest majorities against it.

Of the lower wards the First was the only one that sought to get its valuable property into the metropolis under the guise of the Greater New York, and in doing so gave a majority in favor of the movement of less than one hundred, which represented about one third of the vote the advocates claimed for It. The Second. Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Tenth wards were a unit against consolidation, and the old Twelfth came into line with a vote over two to one for the greater Brooklyn. Much to the surprise of the advocates of consolidation the Seventeenth ward carried their banner In point' of majorities. This ward polled the second largest number of votes on the question of all the wards in the city and rolled up nearly 900 in favor.

The only excuse offered for this condition of. affairs is that the voters hoped to carry Long Island City into the metropolis with them, and thereby secure a reform In the condition of the neighbor across the creek that would make their surroundings safe. Of tho middle tier of wards the Nineteenth, Twenty second, Twenty third, Twenty fifth, Twenty sixth ani Twenty eighth gave majorities in favor of consolidation ranging from 60 to about 600. The exception in this district was the Twenty first ward, which, while casting the largest vote on the proposition, enrolled a total of nearly 200 against it. The result in the newer wards was watched with considerable interest and the returns wore a great disappointment to many.

Instead of casting an almost unanimous vote in favor of (Ce greater New York, the Thirty first gave only a bare majority. The Twenty ninth ward has not made its returns to police headquarters, so nothing of a definite character could be learned ae to how the vote rosulted. The Thirtieth ward, however, was the stronghold of the new districts and gave a majority of 600 for Joining New York. The Seventh, Eighteenth, Twentieth and Twenty fourth wards were looked to for handsome majorities by the Concolldation league, but in neither was the hope realized. When the excitement over the state and heads of the local tickets had been satisfied last night, the universal question was: How has consolidation gone? It is safe to say that had the question been voted on a month earlier, it would have been carried by a good majority, but the work the Eagle has done in educating the people on the merits of the question is responsible, more than anything elBe, for the defeat of tho proposition.

Aong those who stood before the Eagle bulletin board last night watching for tidings from every part of the city, this work was frequently commented on, and the prevailing sentiment was that but for the object lessons presented, many a man would have voted for consolidation only to regret it forever after. An old Brooklynite, in speaking on the question to an Eagle reporter this morning, voiced the sentiment of many thousands, and even of those who did not cast their ballot on the proposition, when he said: "This is, indeed, a period of reform and tho people are in control. The most gratifying result of all this splendid uprising is the way the people of Brooklyn stood loyal to the sentiment that makes their home and manifested their faith and pride in this beautiful oity by shutting the door in the face of the corruption ists Dhat would feed on the earnings of our home loving community." The figures on the question of consolidation that have been returned up to the time of going to press aro as follows: Else, diata ward. For. Agalnnt.

The mother of the Metz children died a year ago and shortly after her death they were placed In the aBylum by their father, Herman Metz, who lives on Broadway. Goerke alleges in his petition that Metz is immoral. Metz denies this in his answer and also that he forbade tho officials at the asylum to allow the relatives of the children's mother to see them.

Hearing on the petition was postponed until to morrow. A MORTON SHOOTER'S JAW BROKEN.

Kansas Kepublican.3 Carry the State by Over 30,000. WAITE OF COLORADO PROBABLY BEATEN. The Pnrty fins Only Five Men Eleoted to the Fifty fourth Congress The Republican Svreep In Other Status They Cnpture Delu ware, but California Has Chosen a Demo rrntic Governor Chairman Wilson's District is Doubtful The Figaros on tho Noxt Hoase. Tho returns received durine tho day from tho pivotal status of the Union mako soma changes in tho details of yesterday's Republican swoop, but do not materially altar tho general result. For Instance, California has eleoted a Demo cratle governor, and Dolaware has boon carried by the Republicans.

On congress the figures at noon stood as follows: Doraocrate 133 Republicans 213 Populists 5 Tha result in Chairman Wilson's district is at this writing still uncertain, with tho probabilities favoring his defeat. A Topokn dispatch says tho Republicans bavo carried Kansas by over 30,000, thus redeeming tho state from Populism. In Colorada "Blood to the Bridles" Waite has probably met with overwhelming defeat. In Nebraska the Populist candidate may have slipped through. Jtt was not pood Populist year.

In Connecticut the Ropubllcan sweep it fully as great in proportion as in tills state. Returns from England and the Soath are meager. Washington, D. November 7 Chairman Babcock of the Republican congressional committee claims that the Republicans will organizo the next United States senate. While the returns are incomplete his information Is that the Tennessee legislature Republican and will sesd a member of that party to succeed Harris.

Mr. Babcock also has a dispatch stating that Denny, Republican in Seventh Kentucky district, Is elected by 225. His election Is conceded by Democrats by 125. This is the Ashland district formerly represented by Breckinridge. A dispatch from Chairman Holton ot the South Carofllna Republican stato committee and Congressman Settle, says: "We have carried the state if we can hold It." Wilmington, November 7 Delaware complete: Newcastle county, Republican majority; Kent, 100 Democratic majority; Sussex, 350 Republican majority.

Net Republican majority, 1,200. Republicans elect governor and congressman and local tickets in two counties. The next legislature will stand: Senate, 5 Democrats, 4 Republicans; house, 14 Republicans, 7 Democrats. Joint ballot, 18 Republicans, 12 Democrats. This insures a Republican successor to United States Senator Hlgglns.

San Francisco, November 7 While nothing but incomplete returns have been received from yesterday's election in California there is every indication that James H. Budd, Democratic candidate for governor, has been elected. These returns have been received from 583 precincts in a total of 2,274 precincts and they give Budd 28,000 votes against 22,000 for Estee, Republican, and 8,000 for Webster, Populist. These figures include partial returns from all but threo precincts in San Francisco, in which Budd apparently has a plurality of at least six thousand votes. Very few returns have been received from the strong Republican counties in the state, but it is not probable that the Republican pluralities there will overcome the Democratic plurality In this city.

It looks as if the Republicans elected congressmen from the Third, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh districts, and possibly the First. The election of Maguiro In the Fourth Is conceded to the Democrats. Tho Republicans claim the Sixth by 3.000. Johnson, Republican, and Caminetti, Democrat, are running close together in tho Second district. Bowers, Republican, is probably elected in the Seventh.

Geary, in the First, is being hard pushed by Barnham. Republican. At 9 o'clock this morning partial returns had been received from C30 precincts in California including 290 precincts in San Fran cisoo out of a total of 2,274 precincts in the state at large. These show a total vote of 102,048 and result for governor as follows: Estee, Budd, Webster, 9, 150. Denver, Novomber 7 At daylight, with returns In from lees than one third of the precincts In this city, with the Republican strongholds yet to be heard from, the majority for Mclntyre for governor over Waite, 5,000.

The returns from the state outside ot Denver are very meager, but those so far received indicate the election of Mc lntyre and the entire Republican state ticket by 15,000 or 20,000 plurality. The Re publicans claim to have carried even the Cripple Creek district, which was expected to give a large majority for Waite. Chairman Clark of the Populist state central commit tee still claims the election of Waite by 8,000 plurality. No returns have yet been received as to the legislature, but it will probably be Republican by a large majority. John F.

Shafroth, Republican, is elected to oongress in the First district. Both sides aro claiming the Second district. Private advices sent Bast say that Waite is undoubtedly defeated. Indianapolis, November 7 The partial returns from Indiana indicate that the state ie Republican by at least 50,000. The Republican state committee says it will not bo surprised If the plurality reaches 70,000.

It la the most sweeping victory ever won by any political party in Indiana. Tho first returns received' last night showed strong Republican gains. They oame from the labor centers and the Democrats at headquarters expressed the hope that tho tide would turn when the county returns began to como in. Late last night returns began to arrive from all parts of the stato and from everywhere cam the story of Republican gains. Tho re turns thus far received show an averago Re puDilcan gain ot about forty votes to tho precinct.

It Is doubtful, however, whether this ratio will hold up to the end for It Is expected It will be cut down by the returns from the agricultural districts, but if it should be cut to twenty to the precinct the Republican majority will be ovor 50,000. Louisville, November 7 A Lexington dispatch to the Commercial Bays tho Owons managers concede tho defeat of Owens and place the majority at about six hundred. The air Is bluo at Owens' headquarters with Shouts of vengemo against the Brecklnridgo and they say that no Breckinridge man shall bo elected until Owens is sent to congress. Boston, November 7 Groenhalge's plurality in Massachusetts is nearly 70,000. All of the Republican candidates for congress wero chosen, except Fitzgerald in tho Ninth, whoso opponent has 2,300 plurality.

Cogswell's plurality Is over 8,000. Inures on othor congressmen are not yet received. Tho legislature will bo overwhelmingly Republican. Boston complete: Greenhalge, Russell, 33,02.1, against 20,327 and 39,042 last year, net Republican gain of 5, COO. From returns from outlying districts, which are delayed, all iow the same Republican gains.

Minneapolis, Novomber 7 Tho Republicans swept Hennepin county, giving Nelson, for governor, 0,000 plurality, electing Torm Fletcher to congress by 7,000, electing Robert. Pratt mayor of Minneapolis by 3,000 and winning on the county and city tickets. Mlnnosotu elects six Republican congressmen, with the result in the Third still doubtful. The legislature will be heavily Republican, sending a Republican senator to succeed Washburn. For tbe first time in more than twenty five years Winona county has gone Republican.

The Republicans elect a stato senator, three, if not all four representatives, and tho entire county ticket, with the possible exception of auditor. A special to the Journal from Northfiold says: J. P. Pealwels claims his election to congress in the Third Minnecota by 500 plurality. This would mako a solid Republican delegation from Minnesota.

Novomber 7 After midnight Shocking Death of a Girl While on Her Way to Work. THE CAR WAS CROWDED WITH PASSENGERS. They Wore In a Ilurry te Reach Their Offices anil 11 Mil Was Mndo to Allow One ot Hie Oroiip Get tff Kittle Gllle pis Stepped Out und Vi'as Cnught by the Sudden Storting of the Elevator Pody Was Horribly Kar.gled. Kittle Gillespie, aged 18, a shop girl employed by Hilton, Hug hes Denning, at Broadway and Ninth street, Now York, met a shocking death In the elevator there at 8:30 o'clock this morning. Kittie's homo is at 431 East Sixteenth street.

The girls won; late getting to the store this morning as the result of lata hours attending the election las: night. Thero was. therefore, a rush for the elevator as they crowded into the building. Tho result was that the car wa3 crowded and there not being much steam on tho car could not be lifted. Beskle the shop girls there wer two women shoppers in the elevator car.

The young man in charge of the elevator was John Brown. Realizing that ho had on board too large a crowd he said before starting that some one would have to got off and wait for the next trip. One of the shoppers stepped off. Brown stood waiting with his hand on the lever for one more to get oft. Those Just close to tho door seemed reluctant to move so Kittle Gillespie, who was in the rear, pushed forward at the same time expressing her willingness to wait for another car.

The crowd were so closely wedged in that in getting close to the door of tho car tho young woman was Jostled aginst Brown, the elevator boy. The force of thp mllioinn mofln i. his balance and he was thrown over against uie ievur wnicn controlled the car. The engine was thrown into play and Just as the young woman was stepping out, tho car de sconded. With an awful crunch and mashing of bones, the car came to a dead stop.

The unfortunate woman had been caught between the top of the elevator und the landing and was killed instantly. The frightful accident caused great commotion and Bhock to the inmates of the car, who could not repress their cries and screams. The car had stuck midway between the basement and tho first landing. The women and girls were finally reached from the basement by a ladder and one by one wore taken from tho car. After tho occupants had been removed, steam was once again turned on and the body was extricated horribly mangled and bruised.

Brown was arrested by the special officer of the building and, together with Mr. Rice of tho firm, went to the Jefferson Market police court. Brown was paroled in the custody 01 uis counsel until Saturday for examlna ROGUE'S GALLERY PICTURES. Justice Quigluy Wouldn't Allow a Prinoucr to Be Photographed. In the caso of John Williams, held In the Gates avenue court this morning for examination on a charge of burglary, Justice Quigley took a stand which clashes with old precedents.

After the prisoner had been remanded to Raymond street jail to await tho grand jury's action someone Informed the magistrate that Patrolman McCahlll was about to take Williams to police headquarters so that his photograph could be placed in the rogues' gallery. The court was very mad and McCahlll was summoned to the bar. He exhibited the usual commitment which ily gives the sheriff custody of the irrisoner and explained that In taking Williams to neaaquarters ne was simply obeying tho oft repeated instructions of Superintendent Campbell. "I beHevo this custom is an outrage of tho worst kind," said the In a caso like this it Is especially wicked.

Dr. Charles II. Parkhurst had thl to pay of yesterday's political revolution: "I am more than gratified. I had expected that tho pooplo of tho city of New York would record their condemnation of Tammany hall, but I did not expect, in my most sanguln moments, to seo such a manifestation of opposition to Tammany's corrupt methods. Tha day marked an epoch in the history of our city, and.

more than that, in the history of our state and country. The hearts of tha people wore profoundly stirred and their eyes have been opened to better things. The distressed and downtrodden had been so long ground under the hard, dirty heel of tha vicious beast that has proved upon them that they had come to feel that it was a constituent part of municipal life to be bled and clubbed and blackmailed. But the suspicion has been growing, even the minds of the oppressed und the outcaat, that there are such things as rights and personal liberty, that the police ara proparly for the protection even of the poor and ignorant and that the courts were really Intended originally to secure to us comfort and protection. These Ideas have been growing In the popular mind, and at length they have attained to Cower and fruitage.

Tha mass of our population has learned a long, deep lesion, and a month will not pass before hosts of those who served and shared at th) bidding of Tammany will rejoice with us at tho crisis in our history, which opens for them the door to large liberty and Initiates our city itito a new and brighter stadium of its history." Mayor olect Strong said: "The natriotio citizens of New York havo decided by an overwhelming majority that they need a business and non partisan administration ot municipal affairs. As mayor of Now York I shall carry out, to the beat of my ability, tho pledge which I made to give tho people an administration of this kind. In accepting the trust conferred upon mo I am grateful for the support of my fellow citizens and deeply sent lblo of tho magnitude and Importance of tho task which confronts a reform city government." Recorder olect Goff said The result of th election in this city demonstrates that thero' is among the great majority of our peopla a love of honesty and morality which overcomes all other feelings, and that when politicians trample on public honor and morality they do so at their peril. I agreo entirely with that grand leader, Dr. Parkhurst, that our fight was not one of politics, but for tho ten compiandments, and It is a matter of sincere gratification to me that tha voice of tho people which men loved to compare to that of tho Almighty, still rings true.

Senator Lexow said The people hava taken tbo fight in their own hands, and under Republicanism havo won a victory. This Implies tho obligations of the party, both in national and state matters to execute the popular will by giving to tha' peopio a pure administration as distinguished from one cf a strictly party or political character Cbuuncey M. Depew said: "The Republican revolution which I predicted would surely materialize has come to pass. The peopio cf tho country havo come to their senses and the pri tciples of the Republican party are vindicated. Tammany is dead and decency has revived.

The state can scarcely realize thi debt lhat it owes to that portion of the press that waged war against tho wigwam." Joseph Larocque, chairman of the committee, said: "The committee of seventy congratulates tho citizens of New York that tha election held yosterday has established that civic pride is not d.ad among us; that in an emergency such as that which recently confronted us they are able to rise above party considerations, and that those who differ so widely on questions affecting national affairs aro ablo cordially to unlto in overthrowing a corrupt cabal and establishing municipal government on a purely non partisan basis." Chorion S. FairchJld said: "Pure Democracy was not defeated. Our party, blighted by Hlllism, waa for the moment rendered con quc rablo. 1 say now, as I havo said beforo, thatwhen New York Democracy la freed and cleansed of the festorlng baraacle that hamper its growth and impede its progress, that sicken and enervate its life; whon Now York Democrats awako to a realization that their parly must be in tho future, as it has been In: the past, be governed by the high motives and noble purposeu tliat engendered the very party; when New York Democracy replaces' these tenets in its croed then I expect to seoi the party climb with strong and unconquerable vigor to its proper supremacy in tha government of tho affairs of our common wealth." Thomas C. Piatt said: "This has been no tidal wave; it was an avalanche.

Kill said I on the stump recently that Piatt, instead of I Morton, was running. It is evident that Piatt I did not retard ti Ropubllcan nice. And I rejoice also very much In tho victory of tha I people in this city. It portends a cleanliness of municipal government and an amelioration i of affairs in tho economic element of its ad I ministration." I Senator Murphy of Troy eallod up tho Demo I cratlo slato headquarter in tho Park Avenue hotel, Nuw York, ovor the long distanoo tele phone early this morning, and askod for Chair 1 man Thacher or Major Hinckly. He asked if there was any mistake in tho published reports of Senator Hill's defeat.

On being assured that! the ropurt was truo the senator replied' thnt ho know his oolleugue was de featad, but bo did not think that tha rportod majorities in Now York city could possibly bo accurate. Hu was certain that tha reported 2,800 or a. 000 meant 20,000 or 30,000. When ho was again assured that tho figures wore abeolutely reliable, Senator Murphy said that tho county ticket of Van Kensalaor, In Which hLs bonne and Troy aro locatod, and which hat always given good Democratic ma joritiea, had bon snowed under in much tho same manner as tho Tammuny ticket in Nerr York. IIn could easily account for toa voto in Troy and vicinity, but he was at a 1 loss for a line on New York city.

He did not think the Lexo investigation was responsible for it all. It probably was the oauso of the loss of a reat many votes, but it would require tho wtsistfiuce oi a' Chinese law yer to solve the Intricate puzzle. When askod if he thought that, hud the President come I boldly out lor Senator Hill and asked tho aa ministration supporters In tho stato to support I the ticket, it would have iu any way changed tho result tho senator coughed diplomatically.
