. Election News.
' Kaw YORK, November 4 -Ex-Pres?
ident G revet Otevelar? was seen at bis
residence io Madison avenue to-day,
;*WB&ype&'1kit opinion of tue re so lt of
Tuesday's election as follows :
"Of coarse everyone bas a rigbt to
po t his own const ruction upon the result
and I am not anxious to obtrude my
ideas, bot it seems to me that some
things ought to be no longer doubtfull
Any san who still thinks that tariff re?
form is a settled and obsolete issue, or
that the importance of sound and safe
money is a question upon which the
people can be blinded, is either wilfully
wrong or dangerously dull.
* 'lt seems to me, too, that the Demo?
crats ought to be satisfied that s tan eb
- adherence to the principles of their
party ' does not require abuse of those
. who show an inclination to help us. I
very much regret the defeat of Gover
* nor Campbell. He has been a brave
and honest official. This and the splen?
did canvass be made entitled him to
success.
"While the election of Flower, Rus?
sell and Boies ought to cause the utmost
rejoicing among .Democrats, they
^ fl?ouId not forget that with these things
comes the obligation to be trae to the
people, honest in advocacy of our prin?
ciples, tad decent to all things "
Forty-six Thousand Majority.
Nnw YOBS, November 5 -To-day's
He?aU estimates Flower's plurality
over Fassett at 46 , 446. Sheehan's
estimated plurality over Vrooman for
Lieutenant Governor is 30,246. The
Herald s estimate gives the Senate 17
Republicans, 15 Democrats ; Assembly,
69 Republicans, 59 Democrats, or 12
Bepabliean majority.
The Game is np in Ohio.
_ ?
COLUMBUS, OHIO, November 4.-Re?
torne from the election still come in
slowly. At the Sta'e .headquaters of
tb wo parties unofficial information
?as Been obtained from probably half of
the eighty-eight counties. Chairman
Hahn, of the ? Republican committee,
daims that McKinley's plurality will be
Between 19.000 and- 21,000, and that
the General Assembly will have thirty
seven Republican majority on joint bal?
lot Ceoeerniog the result he says:
"fi is due to Major McKinley's magnif?
icent canvass, the tborogh discussion of
toe tariff and silver questions and the
cosnaoo sense of the people in Ohio."
? Chairman Neal, of the Democratic
committee, says that McKinley's plural?
ity will be at least 12,000. and may
xeae? 20,000, and that the Republicans
will save 28 majority on joint ballot.
The feature of the result is the com?
plete drop of the People's party.
Their vote in toe State will not exceed
11,500, and they claimed before the
election at least 75,000. The Prohib?
tieoMts w?l lose 7,000 votes from last
year's peiliog probably 16,000. This
lots'is traced to Republican counties
and partially accounts for gains tn the
strongholds. The total vote ie the
State is estimated at close on to 700,
000 and will equal that cast in the last
Presiden tia! contest.
The last General Assembly contained
in tts House, Democrats, 59 ; Repub- j
licaas, 51 ; Senate, Republicans,
17; Democrats, 19. Under the new
apportionment the next Assembly just
elected will have only 31 Senators, and
w?l be constituted as follows : Senate,
IS Republicans, 13 Democrat* ; House,
Republicans, 70; Democrats. 39.

Latest from Massachusetts.
ISosrox, November 4.-Should the
eighf vjisstog towns maintain the Re
^pubfeao majority In them last year
Rosseffs plurality in the* whole State
will be 5,691. In the Legislature the
; Republicans will have majorities in both
branches probably of 4 or 5 in the Sen?
ate and about 60 io the-House The
Council wiH stand as at present, 7
Republicans and 1 Democrat. The vote
for Lieutenant Governor, Auditor and
other officers cannot yet be definitely
stated, bot the Republican ticket, except
the Governor, is elected by 8,000 to
12,000.
Tariff Beform and Sound Mo?
ney, Says Russell.
BOSTON, November 4-Governor
Russen this morning claims his election
by about 6.000 lie says: 4'lt means
that Massachusetts is earnestly for tariff
reform on the line of free raw material,
which bas been the chief issue io this
State. It also meaos that abe is firmly
and aggressively for sound currency."
Tn* Alliance Beaten in its
Stronghold.
To??kr KAN, November 4 -The
power of the farmer in Kansas politics
is broken fer the time at least. The A !
liance met a crushing defeat at the polis
yesterday. Io only one oat of ten judi?
cial districts was an Alliance candidate
successful, that district com prising tbe
counties of King mao, Pratt and Kiowa,
where the farmers elected William
Bash ore. That was formerly a strong?
hold ot the Union La bo ri tes, who joined
the farmers when the latter went into
politics. Besides there were two
Republican candidates tn the field
there, which divided tbe Republican
strength. In the sine districts remain
tog seven of the successful candidates
are republicans, and two are Demo?
crats. In- two of the districts the Re?
publicans and Democrats combined
against the Alliance.
m Democrats and Republicans alike
profess to belive that the people's party
io this State is out of power to stay out.
There is something touching is the
greeting of old party politicians who
have fought each other' for years.
Bepublicans Keep Cook
County.
CHICAGO, NOV. 4.-Complete returns
received from every precioct in Cook
Coooty show that the entire Republican
tickec was elected yesterday. Not a
m*o seems to be missiog. The Repub?
lican candidates for coooty commission?
ers in the city district appear to have
received majorities varying from 7,000
to 14,000. Kokbart, Republican can?
didate for drainge trustee, received
5,000 more votes than any other can?
didate for that office. The only Dem?
ocrat elected was Lyman E. Cooley,
drainage trustee, who comes in as the
minority representative. It is one of
the most sweeping Republican victories
known in Cook County,? and is largely
doe to COD tin oed dissensions in Demo?
cratic ranks A significant feature of
the election is thai nearly every man
endorsed by the American or "Know
nothing" associations appears to have
been elected.
The Republicans Hold
Nebraska.
OMAHA, Neb. November 4.-Re?
turns from the city and State are still
very meagre, bat careful estimates give
Post, the Republican candidate for
Supreme Judge. 6,000 majority over
. Edgerton, Independent People's. The
entire Republican city and county ticket
is elected by majorities of from 200 to
2.500.

PHILADELPHIA. PA,, November 4 -

the sixty-seven couDfi s in the State,

Brazil Breaks Again.
LONDON, Nov, 4 -A dispatch which
has been received here from Rio JeDeiro,
.the capitol of Brazil, brings news of
what seems to be little iess than
another revolution. Congress, the
dispatch says, has been dissolved and
martial law has been proclaimed atRior
and throughout the provinces The
cablegram also announces that a
dictatorship has been established in
Brasil.
LISBON, NOV 4.-A cypher dispatch
from Rio de Janeiro attributes the crisis
there to the action of the Brazilian con?
gress in passing a bill depriving the
president of the right of veto. All
telegrams are subject io strict censor?
ship. *
Part?cula ts of the reported trouble
in Brazil have been received. A dis?
patch frcm Rio de Janeiro says con?
gress has been dissolved and the
country is under martial law. It is
known that there has been growing
f iction between the legislative and
executive branches of tlie government
for some time, and it is supposed that
ill feeling bas finally resulted in a
CI?8?S.

lished. We buy our goods from first hands in car lots and sell
