OUR NAME IS MUD. THE DEMOCRATS SWAMPED UNDER ( IN ALL DIRECTIONS. ]NeW York$ Z40w Jersey, Massachusettv, Ohio, Iowa and Several Other States All Gone Pwpublican-Virninia Stands True to the Democracy. NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-The election yesterday in this State resulted In a clean Republican sweep, that party electing all their State candidates and capturing the Legislatures. The Leg. Islature will stand: Republican sena tors 18, Democratic senators 14;Repub lican assemb lymen 74- Democratic as semblymen rA; Repubtican majority in the senate 4 in the house 20; on joint ballot 24. Palmer, Republican, for sec reta of state, has a plurality of about 15 over Meyer, Democrat, while Bartlett, Republicar, for the court of appeali, 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 iesult than the Republicans. The dominant issue in all portions of the State bad been ring rule, and the Re publicans in New York city, Brooklyn, Albany and Buffalo have been ably as sisted by the organized efforts of inde pendent Dewocrats. Isaac 1-. Maynard the candidate on the Democratic ticket. for Judge of the court of Appeals, against whom the Independent Demo crats have waged war mist bitter and unrelenting, has been surprisingly an,d overwhelmingly - defeated. Almost without exception the returns from every part of the State shows that, ho was heavily scratched, even ten of "Boss" McKaae's retainers at Coney I Island scratehed him. The result at, this time seems to be that lie has been I defeated by a pluralit.y close in t he I neighborhood of 100,000. l'ractically complete returns from many .f the couuties of the State and scatt'erinar re- I turns from the others indicate t hat, t het Republicans have elected their entire I State ticket and they will hale a good r working majority in the ne.xt L, gtsla-. ture. In Brooklyn the local canp:dagn was c fought most bitterly. Mayor hoody, ti ,who was renominated by the emno- ( crats was opposed by the Youig Men's S Independent Democratie Clib of lirook %i lyn most fiercely, and the 1iepuiblicant e candidate Chas. A. Scheatin, was en n dorsed, with the result that the Demo- V1 cratic majority of 29,(X0o at the last n election has been completely overturn. 1i ed and a Republicani mayor elected by i about 16,000. The local contest in New r York city was very interesting, the % Republicans making but small efforts in behalf of their t icket. The complete returns for the city show the election of the entire Tammniany ticket, by ma jorities ranging between (67,M0 and 68, 000. THE BLXE IORAsS STATIC. LOUISVILLE, Nov. 7.-Full returns t of the elections throughout Kentucky t will not be available for several days, r but so far as tLe reports have been re- I ceived it is pretty certain that the rela.- c ilve itandiilg of the political parties has not changed. The only election of - interest was for members of the Gen c eral Assembiy, which will vote for li United State Senator. Senator \Vam. a Lindsay was elected last winter over e Brown and Congressman McCreary and I Stone. IAndsy then had 6~0 per cenrt. l of the ])emocramtic caucus votes. In v~ the primaries fully 80 perF cent, of the a Democratic nominees f r both the a llouse andI Senate were pledged to i Lindsay, anid are all friendly to Sona- si tor Blackbutrn, who will stand for re- c election two years later. The Legisla- i ture will be D)emocratic on joint bal lot by about four to 1. The issue in this election were factional, the doimi nant faction of the Democracy being l1 the Cleveland party opposed to the el wing which supported Mr. HIenry gi Watterson in l'ts opiposition to Cleve. ti land's nomination. lIn this city Tyler, t~ Democrat, was elected mayor by arbout ti 88,000 majority. The D)emocrats elect A their entire ticket. Th'le electionr was o one of the quietest in the history of G~ the city. t THE WATERLo 'IN 01110. COLUMBUS, Oiti0, Nov. 7.-With~ a plurality of 50),000 and two-thirds ofa both branches of the LegIslature Mc Kinley has won a miost decisive victo- to ry. Although McKinley wars running t for re-election as Gioverno.1, he made State affairs secondary to protect ion arnd honest money in all hits spe'che's, numbering one hundred ad ten. It' wouldl not have been a sururise t wo S I weeks ago, but alter the act Ion of Conr te. gress there seemed to have been suach a le reaction that the over whlmaing votti i l' a surprise. 1 The D)emocrata did niot allowv the P'4 contest to go by dlefault, buit made a in most vigorous light wvith harmonious yo working forces. Ex-Glovernor Camp- wi bell canvassed the Starte for Lawrence He T. real all last week, anrd the D emo- nnl cratic committee was hopfeul after phl Congress reached decisive action. Thie Republican managers would have ex pected such results two weeks ago, bitia they were astonished tonight. (Gover- Ic nor McKinley was not surprised at t he cit result, lie has exp)ected It all along, ala and felt Confidenrt that (lie lmpressions loh of the change of coanditions would not be overcome by the canmpaign efforts for reaction. cal TIhe weather was pleasant all Over the State and there wias a full vote or over 800,000. The decisive result of ti( former years have been because of a ter small vote, those of one party or the el other not turning out. Ilmt the voters Of were out today all over the State, arid up~ McKinley has a majority over all the (al Democratic, Populist and l'rohibition of ticketa oposed to him. li is the wa first majrity over all any State candi- wi date has had since Foster~'s election just ni1 after Garfield's death in 1881.

The itpublicans are so jubilant that they lare little about the cause tonight. ASUSUAL IN TillC OLD DOMINION. RionMOND, Va., November 7.--e. ;urns have been received from about me half of the State, but the figures ire of such a character that it is im possible to give them with accuracy. Lf the same ratio of gains for the Dem cratic ticket continues to prevail in he remainder of the State tho oflieial majority will probably reach 4o,000. TherB is no doubt that the )emocrats have carried at least twent.y out ol twenty five senatorial districts and have probably elected eighlv-live out, Df one hundred members of the I lose of Dtelegates. Chairman Ellyson ol the State Democrat.ic cornimittee, places the Democrat ic tiajority at not, less than 26,000, Thu secretary of the People's party practically admits that (yer rail is electe.1, but says he concedes nothing aid that if the Demo r its have carritd the SttAte it, has been done by traud.

This was si,ned by thirty six Dcmocratic Sena tors, by some of us with a iprotest, but we signe- it with tho assurance by those who had been charged with it that t,he terms were acceptable to the President an( Scc.-etary of the Treasurv. This was on Saturday. The intervening Sun day was passed with felicitation- that all handis et together on HouLay and pass the compromise. Ninetv per ceti of the Democratic Senators had signed it, and this large mUjoity of the party ought to have controlled, but when on Honday the New York papers came an tioutncing the compromise, it, was an nounced for the first time, apparently by authority, that the President an( Sere tary of the Treasury repudiated it. Of course we could not pass it, with')ut a full Democratic vole, forty three, and as the six repeal senators an(d otic op posed refussd to abide by the action of the majority. tis tell throui. This is a simple satement of the facts and you and my friends c.m form your own ideas as to who is responsible for the failure of the Democratic Senators to sct toLether. I dont think they will lay it at, my door, (,r that those of us who op. posed unco-ditional repeal can justly be charged with obstruction or filibustering We acted upon the rule of the maority from the beginninu, and it was only af ter the minority by forming an alliance with twenty six Republicans-many of them the most bitter and unrelenting persecutors of the South, lea(leri in the torce bill leiislatlon-that they became masters of the situation and we cave up the contest. The Republican Senators, acting wit.h the majorit,y ot t.he Demo. cratic Seniator.s, have always ioen the most liberal and jLst of their party to the S )ith, and rendering us aid in do feat:ng the iufamous force bill, which I can never forget, amnd if I am driven to seek "p)olitical bedfellows"' away fromi home I p)rcfer the latter, especially when I am accompanied by a majority of my political broth iren.* The trt,h is we are the D)emocratii party, if the so much vaunted ma$orit,y rule is worth anything, absorbing the fewer namber of the Reopublicansa whereas the minority was swallowved by their Republican an nex.
