The Legislature will stand: Republican sena tors 18, Democratic senators ^Republican assemblymen 74; Democratic assemblymen 54; Republican majority in the senate 4, in the house 20; on joint ballot 24. Palmer, Republican, for secretary of state, has a plurality of about 15.000 over Meyer, Democrat, while Bartlett, Republicar, lor the court of appeals, 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 xesult than the Republicans. The dominant issue in all portious of the State bad been ring: rule, ana tne liepublicans in^New York city, Brooklyn, Albany and Buffalo have been ably assisted by the organized efforts of Independent Democrats. Isaac II. Maynard the candidate on the Democratic ticket forjudge of the court of Appeals, against whom the Independent Democrats have waged war m?st bitter and unrelenting, has been surprisingly and overwhelmingl} defeated. Almost without exception the returns from every part of the State shows that he was heavily scratched, even ten of "Boss" McKant's retainers at Coney Island scratched him. The result at thiB time seems to be that he has been defeated by a plurality close in the neighborhood of 100,000. Practically 1 monn nf (ha UULUpiCLD 1CLUIUO 11UJUU luuuj huv counties of the State and scattering returns from the others indicate that the Republicans have elected their entire State ticket and they will have a good working majority in the next Legislature. In Brooklyn the local campaign was fought most bitterly. Mayor Boody, who was renominated by the Democrats was opposed by the Young Men's Independent Democratic Club of Brook lyn most fiercely, and the Republican candidate, Chas. A. Scherien, was en dorsed, with the result that the Democratic majority of 29,000 at the last election has been completely overturned and a Republican mayor elected by about 18,000.

Louisville, Nov. 7.?Full returns of the elections throughout Kentucky will not be available for several days, but so far as tie reports baye been received it is pretty certain that the relative standing of the political parties has not changed. The only election of interest was for members of the Gen eral Assembly, which will vote for United State Senator. Senator Wm. Lindsay was elected last winter over Brown and Congressman McCreary and Stone. Lindsay then had 60 per cent, of the Democratic caucus votes. In the primaries fully 80 per cent, of the Democratic nominees tor both the House and Senate were pledged to Lindsay, and are all friendly to Senator Blackburn, who will stand for reelection two years later. The Legislature will be Democratic on joint ballot by about four to 1. The issue in this election were factional, the dominant faction of the Democracy being the Cleveland party opposed to the wing which supported Mr. Henry Watterson in his opposition to Cleve land's nomination. In this city Tyler, Democrat, was elected mayor by about 88,000 majority. The Democrats elect their entire ticket. The election was one of the quietest in the history of the city. . the waterloo in oiiio. Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 7.?With a plurality of 50,000 and two-thirds of both branches of the Legislature McKinlev has won a most decisive victory. Although McKinley was running for re-election as (iovemoi, he made State affairs secondary to protection and honest money in all bis speeches, numbering one hundred and ten. It would not have been a surprise two weeks ago, but alter the action of Con gress there seemed to have been such a reaction that the overwhelming vote i<* a surprise. The Democrats did not allow the contest to go by default, but made a most vigorous tight with harmonious wor&ing iorces. TiX-uuveruur ^<uupbell canvassed the Stafe for Lawrence T. Neal all last week, and the Democratic commiUee was hopeful after Congress reached decisive action. The Republican managers would have ex pected such results two weeks ago, but they were astonished tonight. Governor McKinley was not surprised at the result. He has expected it ali along, and telt confident that the impressions of the change of conditions would not be overcome by the campaign efforts for reaction. The weather was pleasant all over the State and there was a full vote of over 800,000. The decisive result of former years have been because of a small vote, those of cne party or the other not turning out. But the voters were out today all over the State, and McKinley has a majority over all the Democratic, Populist and Prohibition tickets opposed to him. This is the first majority over all any State candidate has had since Foster's electioo just after Garfield's death in 1681. Blaine had a majority in 1884, but the Republican State ticket then had only a plurality. t i. ?1 ~ jLi&sb year iuc xyemunaia eieuttu uue Preslaentlal elector and the Republican plurality was then 1,072. McKinley's plurality in 1891 was 21,511. In 1890 the RepuhllcaDS had 10,000 plurality, and In 1889 the Democrats elected Governor Campbell by 10,872, when there was a small vote. With the reBult so decisive the figuring on district and county tickets ha" not been as close as in former years, but it is conceded that the Republicans have gained in the districts and counties everywhere by the local tickets beinsr carried through with the vote for McKinley. THE OLD BAY STATE GOES OVER. Boston. Nov. 7.?The result of the election in Massachusetts today can only be described as a huge political landslide. For the first time in three i years the State will have a Republican Governor, and his plurality is 30,000 at the least. The whole ticket is elected with him, and the Legislature is solid- i ly Republican in both branches. i Candid Democrats have conceded the i defeat of John E. Russell, their candi- I date for Governor, by a small majority, : while even the most sanguine Republi- i cans would Hot claim over 15,000 for i Greenbaige. The astonishing result is attributed by those Democrats who] will talk about It to the present industrial depression, aided by the fact that Massachusetts is normally a Republican State, as la always proven by her s vote on Presidential candidates. The Republicans are so jubilant that they care little about the cause tonight. as usual in tiik old dominion. s Richmond, Va., November 7.?Returns have been received from about one half of the State, but the figures are of such a character that it Is impossible to give them with accuracy. If the same ratio of gains for the Democratic ticket continues to prevail in <t the remainder of the State the official majority will probably reach 40,000. 1( There ia no doubt that the Democrats a have carried at least twenty out ot twenty tive senaronai aismcrs anu have probably elected eighty-live out of oi'? hundred members of the House <j of Delegates. Chairman Ellyson of the ,j State Democratic committee, places the Democratic majority at not less than , 23,000, The secretary of the People's r party practically armits that O'Ferrall is electei, but says he concedes ?. nothing and that if the Democrats have carried the State it has been done " by fraud. Col. O'Ferrall from present a iudica'ijns will probably run behind si his ticket some 5,000 votes. ti new jersey gone too. b Camden, N. J., Nov. 7.?The Repub- 5 licans claim the State, and the returus lc indicate that their claim is well found- al ed. There were several riots in this tt city today. h Democratic policemen and ward a workers have the possession of many polls, and the Republicans have appeal- ^ ed to Sheriff West to place the military t( at the polls. So far many deputy sheriffs have been shot and beaten but fV none seriously. In Gloucester City, up " to noon, a large vote had been polled, but no disturbance had taken place. m It noff appears that the city i3 in ^ the hands of a desperate gang of thuas ? and repeaters. Many deputy sheriffs di have been stopped on the streets and ni bad their weapons taken from them, pi Sheriff West is not at his office and It persons are hunting for him to call the l^ military into action. A company of 8j troops in charge of Capt. George S. fe West is ready to move at a moment's aI notice. Five hundred special Demo- :t cratic policemen are at the polls. ti( The following persons have been ad- " mitted to Cooper Hospital: S Fultnan 812 Chestnut street, shot in the head: |?

M ?At the 2d precinct of the 1st ward a D! collision has oocurred between the po- ?.' lice supporting the Republican ticket, 8i and ths Democratic Fushionists. Seven policemen, headed by Pat Farrell, of as Homestead fame, interfered with the oi Fushionists, who were casting their ir votes. This resulted in a collision and ci a personal encounter between Farrell 8j and Councilman McHugh, Democratic C( Fushionist. The intimidation reached such a point and the excitement became so great that the election board was compelled to close the polls. re the nmnafto judicial election. ^ Chicago, Nov. 7.?At midnight it R looks as though the Republicans had elected the entire judicial ticket. The , great interest has been over the elec ttl tion of Judge Gary, who presided at 01 the trial of the Anarchists. At the w time Governor Altgeld pardoned the to Anarchists he made a severe attack up- I on Gary, and the light has been one of I Gary against the State machine, with tfc the result that Gary seems not only to v< have pule 1 tbe full Republican strength w but to have drawn the Democratic vote w as well. In almost every precinct in -cc the city and the county he was from 5 ^ to 10 per cent ahead of the balance of f the ticket. The results show decided 'r< Republican gains over the Presidential J18 election of a year ago. 'r< nebraska 13 in doubt. Omaha, Nov. 7?Returns from the State are coming in slowly. The scat- th terin? returns indicate Republican losses at tbe head of the ticket and j* Populist gains. The race between "5 Harrison, Republican, and Holcomb, 811 Populist , will be very close. The result -D in this county will determine the out- m come in the State, and the vote here wi will not be counted before morning.

C., Nov. 7.?The w strength displayed by silver during the cr past week has attracted the attention 8t of Treasury officials, who keep a close 8j watch on the least tluctuations in mat- 8a ters affecting the value of money the m world over. Silver is reported today in London as 3 10 pence per ounce higher than vesterday. the figure todav beine ?\ 32 9 16 pence per ounce. The" cause " for thld strength is believed to be due dc not to temporary speculation, but to a P< well grounded opinion that Russia in tb the near future will adopt silver as a pi part of her monetary system. It is wi stated at the Treasujy department that intimations have been received that cr Russia will replace her uncovered pa- Wl per money with silver, to be used for q( subsidiary coin. At present the amount 0< of silver in use In Russia as money is th cot 53 cents per capita. It is stated h here that Russia can easily absorb 55 $250,000 of silver, and is desirous of U( doing so, for the purpose of pushing her commerce in the east with Perjia, D' India and China, which use silver almost exclusively as money. fu DEFENDS HIS ACTION.

My Dear Sir: I have received your >tter in which you refer to soma of m\ iends not understanding my position iD le late debate, more irom an emission f the fac'8 by certain newspapers than om their published statements. If anything; was needed toiustity ttiose f us who have taken position In opposiion to the unconditional repeal of the Sherman Act"?that Is. repeal unacompanied by some compensating provion to prevent tho undue contracon of the currency?it is tc e found in tuo aduission ol enators Sherman end Gorman i debate in the Senate on the 28th in-ant. Th?' former was the leader ol le Republicans favering repeal and the itter speaking for the Detmcratic linonty on the same side. Mr. Sherman eaid among other things; There are, however, one or two things ) which I desire especially to call the atsntion of Senators on the other side of le chamber. I doubt very much helher the bill, when we pass it, will leet tho expectations of many people ho probably have mado a bugaboo ol le purchase of silver to disturb their rjams o'nights. I believe that it is scessary to superadd to this measure roposed by the honorable Senator Irom idiana other measures even more vital'importantthan this. Hed:esnotde? re. however to have an amendment ofred. and, after thinking the matter over id giving it careful attention, I believe would not bo wise to offer any proposion of a new character, raising other aestlons of doubt and dispute with rerence to this bill, because, this having ;en fairly discussed, there is now no nger any ground tor argument upon lis bill, and to introduce new subjects ight open up new debate." Many of us who opposed unconditlonrepeal have insisted that the "Ster,an law'* was not the case of financial ringency, and here is the leading apostle of the single-standard men admit og it a "bugaboo made by many peoe." ect, and that repeal will not meet leir "expectations," ect. The "proposition of anew character," i which he alludes, is giving the Secre,ry of the treasury authority to issue 70 hundred millions of bonds. That is ie "cat xi> the meal tub," the thing bend the "bugaboo," made by the naDual banks to co er the real purpose : getting more bonds. Some of us iouzht we saw this design under the lerman Act veneering. The gold ien took advantage of the business and lancial distress to hammer bonds out the Sherman Act and destroy its rival, lver; that is all there is in it. Now what does Mr. Gornan admit i to the strength of the two sides at the itsel. He says: "It may be said with uth that a large majority ot the Demo ats were, at the beginning of the seson, against the repeal even of thepurmsing clause of the Sherman Act." Mr. Butler: "Unconditionally?" Mr. Gorman: "The unconditional peal. It was known that vou had om thirteen to fifteen Republicans op Dsed to repeal. It was believed, and I link it was a fact made perfectly plain i everybody, that a clear majority of 1 the Senatois elected were not in favor ' the unconditional, repeal but they ante<J some modification. Complaints ive been made of delay in this matter. am glad ol the opportunity to say, and say it in justice to those who fought lis bill, that those of us who intended to Dte for its final passage believed that e were in the minority, and a delay of eeks became necessary that we might invert enough to our side to pass the 11. It was not brought into this body om the committee on finance until lys after we bad met. The Senator Dm Ohio, a great member of that comittee and an authority in this body on lancial questions, and with a reputa )n ?uch as few men have ever had in e country, was too astute a man tr> y to force its early consideration in this )dy. When his colleagues on the other tie, impetuous and anxious to put the emocraUc party in a false position, deanded a vote upon the bill in the first sek of the session, the chairman of the >nn/>a nnmmiWod PVAn t.hfi Sfiflft r from Ohio, checked iheir impetuosiand said, 'Oh, no; let the committee i fluance first consider tho bill.' "The factof it was we were not ready r its consideration. A3 time wenton e debate became sharp, and, Mr. resident, [ want to remark right here at it has been a great debate. "The annals of Congress will not iow one equal to it, and those who irlicipate in it will go down to posteri as men who were equal to any who tve preceded them. When tho const became sharp the doubt was then :pfEssed as to the power of the Senator pass it, not as to the power to reach vote, but the power to pass uncondi?nal repeal with a majority. In the sry midst of the fight, in the hottest of , when men were anxious, when every mator was desirous that something leht be done, (and when I say every jnnifv T mpnn all on fcolh sides of the lambers,) to relievo the great distress the financial intereiit and in commeral aflair3, the first note of warning we id, publicly uttered, came from the mator irom Ohio, the Senator who led ore than one half of the repeal column, iat it was impossible to pass it." In the light of disclosures I hope you ill ask my friends to reconsider their iticisms and answer who were the obructionists? Who wantedjdelay? Which de had the majority? Mr. Gorman iys: "They believed they were in a inonty, aud a delay of weeks became jcessary that we might convert enough our side to pass the bill." Again, (Vhen the contest became pharo the >ubt was then expressed as to the >wer of the Senate to pass it, not as to ie power to reach a vote, but the )wer to pass the unconditional repeal ith a majority." This is a munlv admission and does edit to that gentleman's candor. Who is converted? How? By what means? Ihers must answer. The opponents unconditional repeal have had from e beginning a majority of Democratic nators. Oa or about the 1st of ;tober I drew up the following re? lest to Mr. Gorman, chairman of the emocratic caucus: "The undersigned Senators respectlly request that a Democratic caucus. be called to meet at the earliest day practicable." Sicked: M. C. Bntler, J. L. Push, G. G. Vest, E.jC, Walthall, J. H. Berry, John Martin. Under onr rules a caucus may be called upon the application of Ave Senators. You will see six signatures to } this. I applied to a number of the re. peal Senators and the 7 refused to sign it. Mr. Gorman requested me not to press the matter just then, saving he boped to accomplish an agreement bv , .ndividual interviews. After consulta' tion with the gentlemen who hfid joined " -ne, we concluded to hold it in abeyance. : On the 16th of October, Mr. Ve3i drew up the following paper: Washington, D. C., Oct. 16. 1893, To the Hon. Arthur P. Gorman, ' Chairman Democratic Caucus: The un1 dersisned respectfully request you to 1 call a meeting of Democratic Senators 1 for the purpose of conferring in regard to the action which should be taken by ) the Democratic rarty in this Senate up on the pending silver legislation and we s hereby pledge ourselves to abide by the action 01 a majority 01 me caucus us tu said legislation. S:gned: G. G. VeBt, M. C. Butler, John W. Daniels, J. C. S. Blackburn, W. N. Roach, F. M, Cockrell, Isham G Harris, J. L. M. Irby, J. Z. George, J. K. Jones, Stephen M. White, James L. Puzh, J. H.

This you will observe is signed by a maiority of Democratic Senators. Those favoring repeal, with the exception ot Mr. Turpie, of Indiana, flatly refused to so into caucus, and there the matter dropped. Then followed the compromise, which you have doubtless seen. This was signed by thirty six Democratic Senators, by some of us with a protest, but we signed it with the assurance by those ltn/3 kfl/in nfrrorl nrifh if. Ififtf. f.h A YV LIU Iiau LfC^U V/Uaij^VU nivu ?v VUMW terms were acceptable to the President and Secretary of the Treasury. This was on Saturday. The intervening Sunday was passed with felicitations that all hands get together on Monday and puss the compromise. Ninety per cent of the Democratic Senators had signed it, and this large majority of the party ought to have controlled, but when on Monday the New York papers came announcing the compromise, it was announced for the first time, apparently by authority, that the President and Seretary of the Treasury repudiated it. Of course we could not pass it without a full Democratic vote, forty three, and ; as the six repeal Senators and one opposed refussd to abide by the action of the majority, this tell through. This is a simple'statement of the facts and you and my friends can form yonr own ideas as to who is responsible for the failure ot the Democratic Senators to get together. 1 dont think they will lay it at my door, &r that those of U9 who opposed unconditional repeal can juBtly be charged with obstruction or filibustering , We acted upon tbe rule of the majority from the beginning, and it was only after the minority by forming an alliance i with twenty six Republicans?many ot them the most bitter and unrelenting persecutors of the South, leaders in the force bill legislation?that they became ' masters ot the situation and we eave up 1 tbe contest. The Republican Senators, 1 acting with the majority ot the Demo- , cratic Senators, have always Deen the . most liberal and just of their party to ( the South, and rendering us aid in de feating the infamous force bill, which I can never forget, and if I am driven to ( seek "political bedfellows" away from | home I prefer the latter, especially . when I am accompanied by a majority of my political brethren. The truth is I we are the Democratic party. If the s o much vaunted majority rule is worth 1 anything, absorbing the fewer number 1 of the Republicans whereas the minority , vas swallowed by their Republican annex. In regard to my having veered my ( sails to windward to catch the Ponulist j vote, I have only to say that I stand on ? financial questions ju3t where Ihaee al- i ways stood for a doz9n years or more, i and I am surprised that my friends, i who I supposed were accurately in- i formed could be induced to give credence < to the misrepresentations of the metro- < politan press, which for the most part, j represents the single gold standard of J finance. They denounce and slander 1 every man who does not bow his neck j and wear the yoke they have prepared ] for the great masses of the A merican neoDle. or who challenges the oppres- < 8ivo system sustained and advocated by them. For myself I am willing to see capital have its legitimate sway and exercise its beneficlent influences in American progress and development, but when I see its sordid band claiming more than it is entitled to in our social and political life crushing the weak and destroy ing all opposing elements, I shall stand as it has usually been my lot In life to stand with the "under dog," whatever the effect may be on my political fortunes. It is scarcely fair to judge or prejudge the Democratic Administration on the record thus far made. I think it is uufortunate that this ttoancial controversy should have been precipitated in this form. It was not good leadership but we have ample time to rectify the mistake, if it should prove to be a mistake. We are assured when this matter is out of the way, that we shall enter upon tbe work oi lormuiaung a nnanciii ponuy ; on tlie liDes of the Democratic pledges ' as expressed >n its platform. If these j pledges are fulfilled the sores growing ( out of the late debate will soon heal and ? we shall meet the just expec tation of < those who have entrusted us with power. So I would advise all parties to suspend judgement until the final outcome and then admnister praise or 1 blame where it properly belongs. 1 No fears need be entertained of a rup? 1 ture between the Senators who oppose 1 his financial policy and the President * and his Cabinet. He knows better than t any living man that many of us In vot- 1 ing for him did not surrender our souls, ' bodies and conscience, and no one more ? respectB than he the man who stands ' bravely by his conviction of public duty. 1 The thunder storm through which we 1 have just passed will purify the politl? J cal atmospnere, and enable the mariner 8 to steer more clearly ofl the breakers in t the future. - ?-;il_ 1 r OI T ,1/1 i agree wuu mr. ouermuu m lu?u l uu Dot believe that the repeal of the pur- . chasing clause will meet the expecta- \ tions of those who have been clamoring so incessantly for lis repeal. Very like- ^ ly there will be a partial recovery from the business and financial depression, j which was as I believe brouglit on de- l signedly and for the purpose by the fc men who control the money of the coun- t try, but in my judgment there can be no f solid or permanent rehabilitation of bus- s ines8 until the tarifl is readjusted, and lj the corporate property now in liquidi dation has been relieved from the present embarrassment. Yours very tally, M; C. Butler. CARPET-BAGGERS GRUSHED. The L?ctt1uiat6 Government of Hawtl to be Keatoroa, Washington, November 10.?Afte the Cabinet meeting to-day (which wa of unusual duration, lasting over thre< hours and a half) Secretary Gresham with the concurrence of the Preslden arave out for publication a long repor to the President upon the Hawaiiai question, dated October 18, in whtct the Secretary reviews the events, om bv one, which bad transpired up to th< time of the departure of Minister Wil lis for Honolulu. The report is a se vere arraignment of Minister Stevens then representing this Government a Hawaii, aDd of Admiral Skerrett, whi commanded the United States nava forces at Honolulu. The report con eludes with these words: "A /?nr?fnl prmaiHprftfinn nf Mia fact will, I think, convince you tbat th< treaty which was withdrawn from the Senate for further consideration shouli not be resubmitted for its action there on. Should not the great wroDg dom to a feeble but independent State by ai abuse of the authority of the United States be undone by restoring the legi timate Government ? Anything shori of that will not, I respectfully submit satisfy the demands of justice. Cai the United States consistently inslsi tbat other nations shall respect the in dependence of Hawaii while not re specting it themselves? Our Govern ment was the first to recognize the in dependence of the islands and it shoulc be the last to acquire sovereignty ovei them by force and fraud." Though no direct statement to tha effect accompanies the publication o: this document, it is assumed that the instructions given to Minister Willis who left for his post at Hawaii jus about this time, after being twice de layed in his departure, are in conson ance with the tenor of the views there In OTnroaaArl ft < ? a.|qr? aqqnmnrl thai the change of admirals in command a' Honolulu by the substitution of Ad miral Irwin for Admiral Skerrett which was made to take effect contem poraneously with Minister Willis's ar rival thare, had in view the contem plated change of policy on the pare o the United States. Minister Willis an< Admiral Irwin have undoubtedly b; this time carried out their instruc tlons. In his report Secretary Greshau quotes copiously from reports made by Minister Stevens to Secretary Foster and says: "Mr. Steven's statements are at vari ance with the evidence documentary and o^al, contained in Mr. Blount's reports. They are contradicted by direc tions and letters of President Dole an< other annexations, and by Mr. Steven's own verbal admissions to Mr. Blount The Provisional Government was re cognized when it had little other thai a paper existence, and then the legiti mate Government was in full posses Bion and control of the palace, the barracks and the polic9 station. Mr. Stev en's well known hostility and tbc threatening presence of the force land ed from the Boston were all that could UnAvntfn/) oorirtno Qunpahonaini ua YD tUOil CAtmtu otiiuuo n^iou vu<?v/i m the minds of the Queen, tier officer! and loyal supporters. It is fair to saj that Secretary Foster's statements wer< based upon Information which he hac received from Mr. Stevens and the spe cial commissioners, but I am unable t< see that they were deceived. Th< troops were landed not to protect American life and property, but to aid In overthrowing the existing Government. Their very presence implied coercive measures agnnst it. "In a statement given to Mr. Blounl by Admiral Skerrett, the ranking oav alofficer at Honolulu, he says: if the troops were landed simply to* protest American citizens and interests they were badly stationed in Arion Hall, but if the intention was to aid tlje Pro visional Government they were wlselj stationed.' This hall was situated so that the troops in it easily commanded the Government building and the proc lamation was read under the protec Lion of American guns. At ar aarly stage of the movement If not at the beginning, Mr Stevens promised the annexationist that as soon a3 they obtained pjssession of the Government building and there read a proclamation of the character above referred to he would al ance recognize them as a de facto Gov arnmeut and support them by landing a force from our war ship then in the harbor, and he kept his promise: This assurance was the inspiration of the movement, and without it the aonexa tionists would not have exposed themselves to the consequences of failure, rhey relied upon no military force ol their own, for they had none worthy the name. The Provisional Government was established by the action ol the American ministar and the pres ?nce of the troops landed from the Boston, and its continued existence is lue to tne oeuei or me nawauas tuai if they made an effort to overthrow il they would encounter the armed forces 3f the United States.
