COLUMBUS. 0. , Nov. 3. This has been a
day < > f anxiety with the Ohio politicians. It
opened with the republicans and democrats
tooth claiming the election ot their state
tickets .and a majority f the members of lha
legislature. Before noou the democrats con
ceded the election of the republican state
( ticket by larger pluralities than \vcre given
last night In the earliest ot these dispatches
as the claims ot the republicans. Tonight
the democratic state committee announced
no definite claims on the legislature anil the
republican state committee raised Its claims
to a majority of five on Joint ballot as fol
lows : Senate 17 republicans , 19 dcmocrata.
House 58 republican , . , El democrats. Total ,
7C republicans , 70 democrats. Woods county
Iiad been conceded to the democrats until
tonight when the complete returns caused
.tie republicans to claim It.
On the returns complete at republican
Ktnto hcajquancra the democrats \vll ! have
n majority of two In the senate and the
republicans of seven In the house. Jn the
claims the fuslonlsts from Cincinnati are
oil counted as demo-Tats. The republicans
can organize the house without fusion.
.There Is only one ot the four senators
elected on the fusion ticket In Cincinnati
who is a republican and he now becomes a
factor. If Senator Volght of Cincinnati , who
is a republican elected on Jho fusion ticket ,
should vote with the republicans on the
organization of the senate or on anything
CFO ! that body will be a tie with Lieutenant
Oovcinor Joucs , republican , having the de
ciding voto. If the democrats had secured
a majority of the legislature or the fuslon-
Ssts held the balance of power It Is said
that the fuslonlsts would have voted with
the democrats. The republicans now ex
pect two or more of thn fusion republicans
to vote with them for senator , In which
went they claim a majority of seven on
Joint ballot , with seventy-seven republicans
and sixty-eight democrats. Nona of the
fusion votes for senator were counted on by
the republican managers in the event they
would be needed by the democrats to elect
their nominee , but now many speculations
are made about the fusion votes.
When It was thought today that control of
the legislature might depend upon ono vote
tbcro was apprehension of trouble In some
counties. Emissaries were sent out from
etate headquarters to close counties to watch
( ho counting. The Ohio law provides that
"not lees than ono nor more than five dajs
from the date of election the deputy state
supervisors in each county ehall begin the
ofllclal canvass of the vote and continue from
day to day till completed. " In the event of
a protracted contest In the close counties , the
ttusponse of today might have continued til'
tbo legislature met next January.
M'LTSAN FOR PRESIDENT.
SInce the change of the claims at dem
ocratlc hcadquartcro tonight on the complex
Ion at the legislature two Important rumors
have been vigorously circulated. Ono Is tha
John It. McLean will bo pressed by the Ohio
democracy for the democratic nomination
for president In 1900 , and tlmt Senator Hanna
.Will have opposition in his own party to
election to tbo senate. It Is claimed by these
advocating McLean for the presidential nom
Inatlon that ho deserves credit for the re
ductlon of the republican plurality to Ics
than half of what It was last year , and o
tbo rcpubllcin majority In the legislatur
from SO on Joint ballot to 5.
The democrats claim that the majority o :
Joint ballot would bo five the other way 1
they had an equal chance on contests. Then
are thirty-six members ot the state scnat
and only ono or two of those districts arc e
close or doubtful as to admit of contests o
which republican senators could bo unseated
On tha other hand , there are 109 members
ot the house , In which the republicans clalr
a majority * of seven , while the democrat
have a majority ot two In the senate. An
there- are several counties so cloeo on th
vote for representatives that several seat
could bo changed In that boly. In the eel
tlemcnt ot contested scats the republican
Mould have such an advantage lu the lions
over the democrats In tbo senate that It I
not likely that the latter will bo aggressors
in that matter. And this may allow the
close margin of the republicans on Joint bal
lot for senator to go uncontrsted In any of
the close counties or before the committee
on elections In the general assembly.
HUSHNI3LL VOn. SENATOR.
ThereIB another alleged movement which
( a causing much more comment , and that
Is the rumor that Governor Iluslinell will
bo brought out for senator against Marcus
'A. ' llatina , Allen 0 , Myers , one ot the
managers at democratic state headquarters ,
announced tonight that Senator Hanna would
never bo elected to the senate on the close
Joint majority that Is claimed , although !
Hanna had been endorsed for senator by the
last republican state convention , the same as
Forakcr was endorsed by the republican
etato convention two year * ago. Mr. Myers
aid If the close call on the legislature went
apUnst the dcinocmts In the oillclal count of
ho cloio counties , that the democrats In the
legislature would Join with o dozen or more
republican members of that body In electing
Uualinell instead of Hanna to the senate.
Governor Uushncll and all others Involved
in this movement deny any knowledge of ij
or that they would have anything to do
.with It.
CHANGING THE FIGURES.
At both the republican and the democratic
headquarters tonight figures ore being eub-
itttulcd for the claims of last night and to-
day. Chairman McConvllle of the democratic
state committee concedes the defeat of his
ttato ticket , hut statet they have reduced
tne republican plurality of 61,000 of last
year by oy r one t U. AlthouBU others at
cmocrntlc state headquarters concede that
.ho legislature will bo republican on a close
majority of ono or more , Chairman McCon
vllle does not concede the control of that
iody to the republicans. After 11 p. m. lie
ccclvcd the claims of the republicans on the
eglfilaturo. Mr , McConvllle said the rcpub-
Icano claimed the legislature by 75 to 70.
to struck the representatives from Wood
and Noble counties from their Mat , also the
icnator from the Marlon-Logon district und
aid these three changes would make the
cglslaturo stand 73 democrats to 72 rcpub-
Icans , and he would never give cither of
hcso thrco doubtful members up until the
official count was completed. He also con-
cots the election of two of the twelve mem
bers from Cuyahoga county , which would
make the legislature stand 75 democrats > ind
0 republicans. Chairman McConvlllo says
ho believes the democratic representatives
ivcro elected In thrco other counties which
10 does not \\ant to name pending Invcstlga-
lon of alleged frauds. He charges frauds
n Noble and Wood counties and In the
Marlon-Lopin district.
ID the event of the republicans securing
lie legislature on as rlcse a margin as is
now claimed by them and not conceded by
he dcii'ocrats , Chairman McConvllle predicts
hat 'Senator Hanna will secure the caucus
nomination but fall ot election , as did Dr.
Godfrey 'Hunter ' at Frankfort , Ky. , last win-
er , and that the session of the Ohio leglala-
urc the coming winter would break the
cccrJ for factional fighting and disturbances
f the scrslon nf the Kentucky legislature
ast winter. There are reports tonight that
crlaln antl-Hanna republicans and demo-
ratio managers have had conferences for n
ornblno to bring out another man If Gov-
nsor Hushncll refuses to allow the use of
'his ' name for senator.

concede that the democrats will have two

bills reorganizing the cities or any municipal
loarda can therefore bo passed. The rcpub-
Icans claim that the organization of the
senate depends upon the attitude of Senator
Vclght of Cincinnati , who Is a fusion repub-
loin.
The republican state committee claims that

LONDON , Nov. 3. ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) It la no ex
aggeration to say that London has been
more alaorbed In Now York's mayoralty
election than It ever has been In the choice
of Its own iJrd mayor. Tammany's victory
having been consistently predicted by New
York correspondents of London papers It
came as no surprise and the event was
made the occasion of preaching Innumerable !
homilies on the degradation of municipal
lite In Now York.
| As usual , Mr. Astor's paper takes the
loftiest British attitude ot all Its rivals. It
saya : "Under the circumstances It Is per
missible to say that we manage these af
fairs In a more satisfactory manner In Lon
don. With us such an organization as Tam
many hall could not exist and a man or a
body of men who had once been proven
guilty of corruption could never return to
power. Tammany , under the leadership of
Richard Crokcr , has done so In a manner
that must afford food for serious thought
even in a city so accustomed to bad gov
ernment as New York is. "
The Westminster Gazette says : "This
victory for unprincipled government ob
tained by unprincipled methods Is , it must
bo confessed , a grave disappointment to
all who believe In free Institutions. New
York , from Its cosmopolitan character , Is
hardly typical ot the United States as a
wh le , perhaps ; but we could have wished
that the greatest city of the greatest re
public had shown a keener sense ot whal
civic life should mean. Having made Its
bed New York will for the next four yearo
have to He upon It and 'the only thing for
us to do Is to wish Seth Low and his 150,000
supportcis better luck next time In .their
campaign against a system wMch , to us out
siders at least , seems absolutely Intolerable. "
From Inquiries made In business and
financial circles I gain the Impression that
Tammany's regained ascendency will react
Injuriously on International commercial re
lations. The opinion seems to widely pre
vail in the city of Londn that when New-
York consents to again place Itself under
the yoke of Richard Croker there Is no rea
son why , In 1900 , free sliver may not gain
the day , causing financial chaos and devasta
tion. Tammany's victory , In fact. Is re
garded as a symptom of the general unrest
In the United States , apprehension of which
has so signally checked Investment In
American securities.
DOS AND HIS VOMIT.
The Sun of this city , of which newspaper
Harry Marks has editorial control , says :
" The dog returned to his vomit , ' Is the
text wo recommend pious New York to hang
on parlor walls. The chief city of a great
people must see its municipal offices filled
with men who should be filling cells In the
penitentiary. New York hao fallen like rot
ten fruit into the hands of the boodlers , but
New Yorkers may console themselves with
saying that every city as every land has the
government it deserves. "
The Evening News remarks : "Croker has
brought off his tip and won the race , show
ing that he Is more to < be feared in hla rut
ural arena of politics than on the race course ,
The population of the second greatest city
In the world has elected Its ruler and the
morning after election the problems occupy
ing his mind did .not relate to the govern
ment of the city , but rewarding his support
ers. The experiment ot democracy as seen
In New York seems to have its drawbacks
as well as Its advantages. "
The St. James Gazette thinks : "Tho rea
son Americans allow themselves to be donv
inated by a clique whose leading members
would on this sldo ot the Atlantic sooner or
later find themselves In the criminal dock ,
lu that American politicians indulge In poll
tics solely for what they can make out o
them , pad until America finds time to pro
duce a class who will give their time to pub
lie affairs , as here , without expectation o
pecuniary reward , Tammany will continue It
victories In New York. "
RULE OF THE DEMAGOGUE.
Commenting on the allegation that th
"best classes" hold aloof from politics , th
Globe says : "It leaves the government of on
of the greatest of countries In the worl
at the mercy of a mob and of an unscrupulou
demagogue , who knows how to bend th
mob to his will. The effort upon the forelg
policy of the country Is often deplorable. Tha
largo numbers of decent , sensible people ari
utterly vithout sympathy with the brus
queries of Olney and the fatuities of Slier
man , we all know , but unhappily they utterl
fall to make their voices heard above the dl
of the New York slums. "
The Morning Post says : "Tammany'i
enormous majority leaves no doubl
that ( ho rumor of an arrangement bo
twecn Croker and the republicans was wcl
founded. The Citizens' union deserves al
sympathy for Its splendid fight. Mr. Lou
gave the republicans an opportunity the ;
may never bavo again. History abous tha
one party Is qulto us unscrupulous as th
other , and what Is still more Important , I
shows there Is considerable public spirit I
the new community. "
The Dally Telegraph says : "Mr. Croker
may sleep better unbaunted by the nlg'ht-
mare of Indictments and prospects of the
penitentiary. It Is a great victory for the
most corrupt organization In the .world , and
we hesitate to except even Turkey , 'But an
analysis of the figured and the statements
tend to show that It belongs to that class :
of triumphs of which Pyrrhus said ; 'Another ;
such victory and I am undone. ' The election (
of Mr. Low would have been decisive. The
election of Judge Van Wyck la only on epi I-
sode jn the campaign that Is Just beginning ,
The Citizens' union. Is indeed beaten , ' but
Its defeat la of a nature that promises vic
tory In the not remote future. "
With reference to Mr. Croker's manifesto
after the election , the Dally Telegraph's
editorial page says : "How pleasantly theeo
delicate euphemisms will sound to the saloon
keepers and the proprietors of dliorderly
houses. "
The Globe ays : "When the fortunes of the
wigwam arc In the ascendant shameless cor
ruption reigns supreme. Judge and police alike
ewe secret allegiance to to authority with
far greater power * of making or marring
their fortune ) ) than the government ot the
United States. "
Sketching Iho history of the Tammany
society , tbo Globe adds ; "When Croker be
came boss It had regained njueh of Its lost
nflucncc. Crokcr Is perhaps the most notable
Yimmany product of our tltrje. A splendid
Tganlzcr and an IndomitnBlo worker , he
osscssos to a marked degres'tlie taciturnity

undesirable elements of the Irish on top , "
rwl concludes : "The ( Victory In Greater
Mew York will have a sinister effect throngh-
> tit the country , for It means that the
iWakcnlng desire for municipal reform has
erched a terrific setback. "
The Vosslsche Zcltung says : "It cannot be

The Lokal Anzclger courts that It sym

said today that the election ' resulted just
as he feared It uould.rc made the best
possible fight , but the hope of victory against
Tammany with the anti-Tammany forces
divided Is almost futile. The wonderful
showing made by Mr. Lojv Is surprising , to
say the least.
"Those who are Inclined _ to view this elec
tion In New York city as being of national 1
significance are away 'oft' ' In their reckoning.
New York Is a cosmopolitan- . The Inhab
itants of London are neariyall English , the

York has only about 20 per cent of Amer

world. And they retain the habits , lan
guage and characteristics of their native
countries.
"The election Issue in New York has no
national significance , but with an alarming
falling off of the republican vote In the
state , with heavy losses In New Jersey , Ohio
and other states , the republican party la
confronted with the Incontrovertible truth

The republicans of Omaba and Douglas
county are congratulating tncmsolvcs on one
of the most dcclslvoavlctorles that linn over
been won by tliclr party lu > this county.
The entire county and city ticket has been
elected by tremendous majorities and even
the precinct olllecrs liavo been carried on th
triumphant wave with one or two possible ex.
ceptlons In strong ftmion localities. Wards
and precincts that have always been held as
strongholds of the fusion clement have been
successfully stormed and carrlrd bv tbo re
publican forces and nothlnc Is lacking to
make their triumph complete. The unusual
number of straight tickets that wcro voted
Is evident" In the comparatively slight varia
tions In the majorities of the republican can
didates. John McDonald IcaJfl the way with
a majority that will not be less than 3,000
and the others range from 1,400 for Helm-
rod to 2,300 for Dodwcll.
While the majority In the county for tbe
etato ticket Is excqcdod by the majorities of
Koino of the local candidates , It represents at
least 1,600 more votes than wore received
by the fuslon'caiidldates on the state ticket.
The returns Indicate a decided falling off In
districts that were supposed to bo strongly
democratic. This Is especially true , ln the
country \vbere prcclriita that gave liberal
fusion majorities last year are now on
record with clear majorities for the cntlro
republican ticket. In Omaha the ( Second
ward was the only ono which remained In the
dcmociatlc column , and even here the usual
large majority was cut down to alnitist noth
ing. Hector only carried the ward by six
teen votes. Thu republican Doaul of Educa
tion ticket ran very close to McDonald lu
this ward and even on the state ticket the
best that the democrats
could secure was a
majority of about 200.
M'DONALU A SPRINTER. ,
The feature of the day was tbo manner
In which Jchn McDonald fairly walked away
with the alleged strength of his opponent.
McDonald carried every ward In the city
except the Second , every country precinct
but one , and came very near defeating Iloc4
tor in South Omaha. His victory la the moro
remarkable from the fact that every energy
of the mongrel machine had been expended
In a desperate attempt to elect Hector , no
matter \\Uat might 'become ' ot the rest ot I
the ticket. McDonald secured the full
republican vote and also those ot many
populists who refused to mvallow the dose
that bad been prepared for them by the
dark lantern deal between tbo democrat *
and silver republicans.
Mel. Redflold was also tnrcicd down moro
emphatically than his most sanguine op
ponents expected. His expectation of rcpub.
llcan support failed to materialize and be
was repudiated by hundreds of decent demo
crats. D. M. Havorly'B clean personality
and dignified campaign was endorsed by *
majority of more than 2,100 votes , * -si
The other republican candidates read their
titles to assume the duties of their respective
olllces January 1 by big majorities. Qeorgo
Hotmrod , Judge Ilaxtor , Superintendent nod-
well and Surveyor Mcllrldo wcro re-elected
just llko falling off a log. Tom Crocker
will bo register of deeds for thu next four
years , and NclsP. . Swan on will hold tbo
Inquest on the fusion corpse , A. C. Harto
will bo county commissioner from the First
district by a vote that'very narrowly es
caped being unanimous.
RING FIOHT INEFFECTUAL.
The republican candidates for thn Board
of Kducatlon were elected by the biggest
majorities that have been known In years.
It was a significant fact that tbo men who
had been singled out to bo defeated by a
secret combination of Individuals uho wanted
to retain their control of the affairs of the
board received the biggest majorities , H.
J , Penfold was elected by moro than 2,809
majority and Dr. Moore waa close behind
Aim. A. A. Iluchanin , J , F , Durgess. , U , F.
Thomas , for full terms , A. W. Johnson for
two yojra and Andrew Klewlt for one year
were elected by majorities that will not fall
below 1,600 in any cr.se , whllo the average
majority for the twvcn candidates wag 2,055.
The entire list of republican candidates for
justice of the peace and countable was suc
cessful by majorities that closely approxi
mate those received by thosu higher on tbe
ticket. The justices of the peace-elect are ;
Doreey D , Houck , George C. Cockrell , A. B ,
Ualdwln , William A. Foster , George A ,
Prltchardand Eben K. Long. Tue countable *
