CLEVELAND'S VIEWS.
i.x-Presidcnt Grover Cleveland was seen
at bis residence on Madison avenue and
gave Ins opinion on the result of Tues
day's election as follows: “Of course every
one lias a right to put his own construction
upon the result, and 1 am not anxious to
obtrude mv ideas, but it seems to me that
some things ought' to be no longer doubtful.
Any man who still thinks that tariffinform
is a so tied and absolute issue or that tbe
importance of sound and sufo money is a
question upon which the iople can lie
blinded is either willfully wrong
or dangerously dull. It seems to
me, toe, that the democrats ought to be sat
isfied that stanch adherence to tbe princi
ples of their party duos not require abuse of
those who show an inclination ro help us.
1 very much regret the defeat of Gov.
Campbell. He bas been a brave and honest
official. ft.tsai.d tbe splendid canvass he
made entitled him to success. While the
election of Messrs. Flower, Russell and
Koies ought to cause the utmost rejoicing
among democrats they shouil rot forget
that with these things comes an obligation
to become true to the people, honest in ad
vocacy of our principles ami decent in all
things.”

railroad employes shook him by the hand

Une traveler said to him: “I want to shake
with tbe next governor.’’ Mr. Flower laugh

Wook you up pretty well yesterday.”
To an Associated Press reoorter he said:

A FACETIOUS TELEGRAM.
Columbus, 0., Sept. 4.—Chairman Hahn
sent the following telegram this morning to
Roger Q. Mills and Congressman Crisp:
Allow me to congratulate you on the able as
stance you rendered us in the Ohio camps! mi
McKinley's plurality Is from 13,000 to 21,003.
Both branches of the general assembly are re
publican from 35 to 37 on joint ballot. Can you
be with us next year!
The following was forwarded from Co
lumbus:
W i llium MrKinlty:
I heartily congratulate you upon your elec
tion. I have no doubt that you will serve the
people of Ohio with fidelity and honesty.
.Tames E. Campbell.
'The governor received the following from
Pittsburg:
Accept our heartfelt sympathy, but we earn
estly hope tba this is uot your last effort. The
democracy of the nation, go successful other
wise, feels your defeat sorely. Wo heartily
congiatulate you upon the nohje fight you have
wared for democratic principles and earnestly
hope to be present a: vour Inauguration to the
highest office in the nation.
Randall Club.
Gov. Campbell aPo received telegram* of
sympathy in his defeat from ex-I’reiident
Cleveland and Gov. Boies of lowa.
HAHN’S CLAIMS.
Chairman Hahn of tho republican com
mittee claims that tho plurality' of McKin
ley will be between 19,000 and 21,000, and
that the majority in the general as
sembly will be 37' on joint ballot.
Concerning the result, he says:
"It is due to Maj. McKinley’s magnificent
canvass, thorough discussion of the tariff
and silve questions and the common sense of
the people of Ohio.”
Chairman Neal says Maj. McKinley’s
plurality will be at loast 12,000 and mav
reach 20,030 and that the republicans will
have 2$ on joint ballot. A feat
ure of the result is the complete
drop of the People’s party. Their vote
in the state will not exceed 11,500 and they
claimed before the election at least 75,000,
l bo prohibitionists will lose 7,000 votes from
last year, polling probable 18,000.
This lo -s is traced to republi
can counties and partially ac
counts for the gains in the strong
holds. The total vole In the state is esti
mated as dose on to 30,000 and will
eqlial that oast in the last presidential con
test. The last general assembly contained
in the House: democrats 59, republicans 51;
Senate: Republicans 17, democrats 19. Un
der the new apportionment the next assem
bly, just elected, will have only 31 senators,
and will be constituted as follows: Senate:
13 ropu licans and 13 democrats; House: 70
republicans and 39 democrats.
THE COUNT AT CLEVELAND.
Complete returns from this city and
county give McKinley 1,694 plurality over
Campbell. The republicans elect their entire
legislative delegation of three senators and
eight representatives and the entire state and
countv tickets, with cue exception, by plu
ralities raging from 90J to 2,200. Gilbert,
rep., for common pleas judge, is defeated
t y Noble, dem., by 1,200.
The county returns show that Campbell
carried his county (Butler) by 6,200, bis
large-t plurality iii any county, and Otars,
McKinley’s county, by 200.
The Ptavvleaier will say: “There is
nothing in tUe result to discourage the
democracy or change their purpose to wage
unceasing war upon the tariff ex to’ tion and
oppression of the toiling masses until these
wrongs are righted. McKinley Is eleoted,
but Campbell is doomed to defeat.
“For freedom’s battle once began,
Though battled oft is ever wen.”

OPENING GUN OF 1892.
Toledo, 0., Nov. 4.— The Blade (repub

against tbe free silver craze.

His Plurality in the State Put Down
at 5,891.
Boston, Nov. 4.—lt is estimated that
Russell has received 156,000 and Allen 151,-
000, leaving the governor a plurality of
about 5,000. Tbe vote of Boston was 66,512
for Russell and 22,987 for Allen,
which gives a democratic plurality
in tho city of 13,525. The
towns outside of the cities last year gave
Brackett 59,313 and Russell 52,889. Re
turns from 282 towns this year i iv a
Russell 49,871 and Allen 59,604.
Gov. Russell gained 13 par cent, in these
towns, wnieh, applied to the rost of the
towns,would make bis total in all the towns
59,199. The same towns show a gain for
Alien of 16 per cent, over Brackett’s vote
of last year. This percentage applied to
the rest of the towns will give him 68,803
in ail the towns. Add to these figures
the vote of Boston, and it
swells Russell's vote to 95,711 and
Allen’s to- 91.780. Tne cities outside of
Boston gave Ramil a year ago 55,144 and
Brackett 52,515. Russell carried them then
by about 2,500 plurality. Tho increased
vote this year in the same
cities indicates that Russell will
have over 60,000 votes and Allen 58,000,
thus making the total vote in the state
about 150,000 for Russell and 151,-
000 for 4 Allen. An analysis
from the returns from these
cities shows that Allen gained over Brackett
in Chelsea aqd Somervilie, aud relatively
in Holyoke. On the other hand Russell has
made net gains In New Bedford, Lawrence,
Fall River, Haleru, Chicopee, and elsewhere.
Lieut. Gov. Haile and the balance of tbe
republican state ticket is elected by ample
pluralities. State Auditor Trefry, dem., is
defeated. In most places he ran behind
Corcoran of the demooratio ticket.
Speaker Barrett of the House w as elected
by twice his laet year’s plurality. The ex
ecutive council probably stands 7 repub
licans to 1 democrat.
The legislature shows deoided repub-

lican gams. The Senate, with five
districts to be heard from, stands
23 republicans to 12 democrats, and
the missing districts will probably give
1 republican and 2 democrats, with
doubtful. Last year the Senate was a
tie between the parties. The House at
present stands. 115 republicans and 58
democrats, with members 67 lacking.
Last year the complexion of the
House was, 140 republicans and 100 demo
crats.
Gov. Russell said this morning in claim
ing his election by about 6,000: “It means
that Massachusetts is earnestly for tariff
reform on the line of free raw material,
which has been tho chief issue in this state.
It also means that she it firmly and ag
gressively for a sound currency.”
RUSSELL GOOD FOR 5,691.
Boston, Nov. 5. 3 a. m.— Should the eight
missing towns maintain tbe republican ma
jority in them last v. ar Russell’s plurality
in the whole state will lie 5,691. In the
legislature the republicans will have major
ities in both branches probably of 4 or 5Jn the
Senate and about 60 in the House. The
council will stand as at present, 7 re
publicans and 1 democrat. The vote
for lieutenant governor, audisor and other
officers cannot yet be definitely stated, but
the entire republican ticket except
governor is elected by 8,000 to 12,000.
BOSTON PRESS COMMENTS.
How the Papers of the Hub Look Upon
tbe Results.
Boston, Mass., Nov. 4.— The Herald
(independent) considers Gov. Russell’s elec
tion a personal indorsement of his adminis
trative acts, beside* being a victory for the
tariff cause he represents. It predicts repub
lican defeat in the presidential year, unless
the party modifies its high tariff views. Of
the Ohio election it says Maj. McKinley’s
election is gratifying, as it is the most de
cided rebuke that could have been given to
the advocates of free coinage of silver.
New York, it thinks, means that the state
will vote for a democratic President uoxt
year by not lss than 5C,000 plurality.
The Traveller (republican) deplores the
result in Massachusetts as it gives the op
ponents of the principles for which Massa
chusetts stands—protection, sound money
and an honest ballot—an opportunity to
exult.
The Journal, republican, lay the republican
defea in this state to a weak platform on
the school and temperance questions, to the
belated aggressiveness of most of their
speakers, to being overmatched by shrewd
ntss in managing the campaign,
and to indifference or treachery
of Crapo’s frie ids. Tho republicans
needed a lesion and they have received it,
tbe paper says. The Ohio result is a victory
for sound currency. In New York Tam
many is triumphant and Grover Cleveland
has not swallowed the Tammany tiger f .r
n thing. It was very likely an nnsavory
morsel, but he will probably secure his
reward.
Tbe Globe democrat, says Gov. Russell
may well feel that his detractors have not
only been silenced, but put to shame, lie
is sustained by the judgment of the people
on every point at Issue between him and his
reckless assailants. The Gibraltar of repub
licanism, by this victory, is made distinctly
fighting ground for next year, and go and
fighting ground, too. Tho eiecroral vote of
Massachusetts is now a debatable quantity
in the presidential question.
The Transcript (republican) says it is a
great personal triumph for Gov. Russell
if be has recommended himself to 8,000 or
1(3,090 Massachusetts republicans by his ad
ministration of the state affairs and his
courageous warmth with regard to the
groat national questions.
The Advertiser (republican) says Gov.
Russell owes his second success chiefly to his
personal popularity, whi )h is unusual and in
which thousands of Massachusetts citizens
who did not vote for him can feel a gener
ous pride. It believes Massachusetts is re
turning to the republican fold, which is just
the reverse of tbe opinion of the Boston
hist (democrat).
BOIES' BIG VICTORY.
His Plurality Now Estimated aa High
as 8,000.
Des Moines, l a., Nov. 4.—After the
great battle of yesterday the smoke is clear
ing away. The republicans find themselves
defeated, and the democrats are beginning
to celebrate their victory. Gov. Boies ar
rived in Des Moines to-night from Water
loo. The democrats are preparing to
give him a royal welcome. The streets
are packed with people shouting for Gov.
Boies. At the Register office complete re
turns from 83 cou ities have heen received.
Up to 8 o’clock there is a net democratic
gain of 806. If the gain is kept
up to-night in the remaining six
con counties his plurality will be in tho
neighborhood of 8,000, a gain of 2,000 over
two yours ago. >
HOPE FOR THE REST Or THE TICKET.
The returns on the other state officers are
scattering. If Gov. Boies’ plurality is 8,000,
as it now promises to bo, the rest of the
democratic ticket will be elected by a small
plurality. Tbe republicans have some
hopes for Van Houten, for lieutenant gov
ernor, who is running ahead of Wheeler in
tbe precincts that have reported. They
also claim Sabin, rep., for superintendent
of instruction. The democrats hope that
their whole state ticket is elected. It
will take fuller returns than can now
be obtained to decide tho fate of the ticket
below governor. Iu the lower bouse the
republicans have gained Audobon, Adair,
Adams, Boone, Decatur, Floyd, Poweshiek
and Kossuth. The democrats gain Marion,
O'Brien and Sioux. The parties were
equally divided two years ago, aud the
republicans will therefore have a clear ma
jority. The Senate is conceded to be dem
ocratic by one or two votes.
HOW THE ALLIANCE SHOWED UP.
The farmers’ alliance candidate, West
fall, for governor, received' about 15,000
votes in the state. The alliance carried one
county for governor, Monona, one for
representative, Montgomery, and the Mont
gomery Mills senatorial district, ihe pro
hibition vote has not been reported except
in a few instance., but it is prob
ably very light. Chairman Mack of
the republican oommittee this evening
concedes Boles’ election by 4,C00 plurality,
but claims the election of the balance of
tbe state ticket, except railroad commis
sioners, for the republicans. He also claims
both houses of the legislature. Chairman
Fuller, of the demooratio committee, claims
all tbe state ticket, hut concedes tne lower
house and says the Senate is In doubt.
apt TO go to 9,000.
Des Moines, la., Nov. 4,11 p. m.— Fifty
counties complete in lowa out of 99 iu the
state give Boies, dem.. for governor, a plu
rality over Wheeler ot 7,486. This is a net
g.in this year ot 2,520 for the democrats.
The remaining counties gave Boies In 1889
a plurality ot 1,361.
Gov. Boies arrived here to-night. He
has received warm congratulations from
Grover Cleveland and other prominent
democratic politicians.
With twenty towns to hear from, Russell
has a plurality of 7,436 In the state. Dis
patches indicate that the popular vote yes
terday strougly favored an amendment to
the constitution abolishing tbe poll tax as a
prerequisite to voting, and it is believed to
have been adopted by a large majority,
TICKETi FOR NEXT YEAR
Cleveland and Boies and McKinley and
Dawes Suggested
Baltimore, Md., Nor. A—The .sn to
morrow will say: “The elections of Tues
day indicate an unmistakable continuance
of the movement of opinioa that produced
the astonishing political results of Novem
ber, 1890. The idee* of tariff reform
and sound money upon wi.ieh pre-i
--dent Cleveland made his tight
in 18S8 are still in tbe fire and still prolific
in victories. The elec'on of Mr. Flower
and a democratic legislature In New York,
of Gov. Russell in Massachusetts and of
Gov. Boles iu lowa vindicates the wisdom,
from a political point of view, or the policy
of reducing federal taxes. In ull these
states tariff ref tm was the leading topic.
Cleveland’s uttßrance.
“As Mr. Cleveland well expressed it ves
terday: ‘Any mau who sti.H thinks that
tariff reform is a settled and ob.-olete issue,
orthatihe importance of eonud and safe
money is a question upon which the peop.e
can be blinded is either willfully wrong or
dangerously dull.’ The democratic victory
in the Empire state and in the Bay state, with
tariff reform and sound money for issue;,
suggest forcibly that it wai to his tariff pol
icy that Gov. Campbell owed his ability to
cut down the republican majorities, and
that it was to the unfortunate sliver plank
in his platform that ho owed his inability to
extinguish them.
CLEVELAND AND BOIES.
“The democratic ticket of 1892,as suggest
ed by yestorday's result*, is undoubtedly
Cleveland and Boies, one an exponent of the
ideas the old time democracy of the oldor
sta.es, and the other tho champion of
tho democracy of tho u rihwest.
With McKinley and Dawes lending tbe re
publican ticket we should hare a lively
campaign, and evory prospe-t of a final
solution of economic and money questions.
What is wanted is a fair and square fight
on plaiu issues. As ex President Cleve
land and Maj. McKinley impersonate the
live issues of the day, they ore tbe men to
lead in the great battle between freedom
and monopoly.”
EBB OE THE TIDE.
The American (republioam to-morrow
will say: "A careful analysis of the elec
tions held on Tuesday will show that the
tide which set u heavily agaiust the Reoub
lican party in 1890 has already ebbed an l
it rapidly Rowing in the opposite direction,
so rapidly that a republican national tri
umph in 1892 may be re .sonahly anticipated.
The only square national fight to the .-Imrr
ean’s view was in Ohio, where the campaign
was conducted purely on national issues,
protection and honest money being tne re
publican watchword, while opposition to
tbe McKinley bill and free silvar coinage
rallied the Democrats.”
BLAINE FOB PRESIDENT.
The Philadelphia Inquirer's Interpre
tation of the Result.
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 4.—The In
quirer (republican) will say: “Secretary
Blaine could carry Massachusetts next year.
Probably President liasrfkoi. oould. like
wise Maj. McKinley, who now becomes'
available presidential timber.” Of New
York it says: “The result must be looked
upon as a defeat for President Harrison,
whose personal candidate Fassott was. The
meaning of all this is that the New York
republicans want Secretary Blaine
for President nnd the figures show
that he can carry the state.
lowa must be looked after. The farmers’
alliance has not show i the strength that it
claimed. Another good year of crops, such
as this has bee i, would shatter it. But who
can foretell tbe weather a year in advance?
The west, as shown by lowa, is still restive.
Tuere is ono man who can certai dy recall
every wande: iig weffern state. There may
be more than one ma i, but there is certainly
one. His namo is Blaine.”
The Press to-morrow will say: “The
general result of the eloctions of Tuesday is
much more favorable to tne republicans
thau a cursory view would suggest. The
results iu the year following such a
democratic tidal wave as swept over the
country last fall is certainly enoouraging
and proves the strong vitality of the Re
publican party and Us principles.”
Tho Hecord attributes Gov. Campbell's
defeat to tho positiou taken by the demo
crats in favor of free coinage of the short
weight silver dollar.
KANSAS ALLIANCEMBN ROUTED.
They Succeed in Carrying Only One
Out of Ten Judicial Districts.
Topeka, Kan., _Nov, 4.—The power of
the farmer In Kansas politics is broken, for
a time at least. The alliance met a crush
ing defeat at the polls yesterday. In only
one out of ten judicial districts
was the alliance candidate successful,
that district comprising the counties of
Ki gman, Pratt and Kiowa, wn re the
farmers elected William ft .shore. That was
formerly the stronghold of the union
laborites, who joined the farmers when the
later went into poliiics. Besides
there were two republican candidates
in tbe field there, which divided the repub
lican strength. In tho 9 districts remain
ing 7 of tbe succsssftil candidates are
republicans and 2 are democrats. In 2
of the districts the republicans
and democrats combined against
tho alliance. Democrats and republicans
alike profess to believe that the People’s
party in this state Is out of power to stay
out. There is something touctiing in the
greeting of the old party politicians who
have fought each other for years. The
crushing alliance defea is common cause
for joy.
MAKES THE TARIFF THE I33DE.
Comments of tbe Washington Post on
/ the Result in Ohio.
Washington. Nov. 4.—The lost will to
morrow say: "In Ohio, where the great
national issue was sharply defined, the re
publicans have won a decisive viotory. Tho
stone that was set at naught by the builders
of a year ago has become the head of the
corner. The defeat of Maj. McKinley,
would have reiterated the verdict of
1890. His election means his
vindication and that of the law which
bears kis name. The two great parties oc
cupy about the same relative positions that
they did before the elections, both appar
ently satisfied with the results and in good
condition for entering upon the broader
battlefields and grander oonquests of 1892.”
COLORADO'S CONTEST.
The Republican Candidate Elected
Chief Justice.
Denver, Col. , Nov. 4.—The election law
has delayed the returns so that it will be
impossible even to-night to give the exact
result. Sufficient, however, bas been re
ceived to determine that Judge Helm, r*p. t
has been chosen chief justice by 7,000 to 10,-
000 major by. Partial returns trom 16
election districts in this oouuty give the re
publicans the entire ticket by majorities
ranging from 1,371 to 1,937. With the ex
ception of Lake and Las Animas counties
the republicans elected their entire ticket in
every county in the state.
GUAY OFF FOR FLORIDA.
Ha ia Jubilant Over the Way Be
Makes the Eltctlon Figure Out.
Washington, Nov, 4. — Senator Quav
was at his house here all day, leaving in hi*
special car to-night for Florida, whence ho
will not return until congress meets. Hs
did not call at the white house to extend
sympathy to President Harrison, but be
seeme t to think President Harrison needed
it, for he regards the success of the demo
crats as the condemnation of the adminis
tration, just as he regards the
result in Pennsylvania as a vindication and
victory for himself that not only offsets the
Delama ter defeat, but presages his own
triumphant re-election to tie Senate
next year. He attributes the defeat of Del
amater to the weakness of the candidate,
who was nominated, he says, against liis
bettor judgment. This year good
meu were nominated bv his ad
vice and were elecefi. (.If ono
thing he feels certain, amt that is that he
*i 1 control the Pennsylvania delegation to
tbe next uatioual convention and that it
w ill not vote to ronomiuate President liar
risoD. Senator Quay was the most rad la t
republican in \V asidngton to-day and left
for Florida in a jubilant mind.
Opinion of tho Thunderer.
London, Nov. 5, 8 a. m.—Tne Times
thinks “it is possible that a democratic
victory In Ohio would not have pleased all
sections of the party, because it would
have foreshadowed a schism at
next year’s convention. It is
doubtful whether Maj. McKinley’s achieve
ment is striking enough to vindicate his
policy or to advr..v?e his claims to a presi
dential nomination. It may be taken for
granted that the result of the elections will
thrust into the background the United
States government's policy of bullying
Chile.”

TENNESSEE'S CONVICTS.
Fears of An Attack on Two Mors
Branch Pr eons.
Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 4.—Wbilo there
have been rumors in circulation in East
Tennessee during the last two days that a
mob intended to attack the branch prisons
at TrScy Citv and Inman, it is thought there
is little foundation for them. There are 620
convicts at these prisons, und extra guards
have been placed on duty at each of them.
.Several heavy boxes supposed to con
tain arms have been sent, by express
from tbe state armory to the officials at the
prison. Gov. Puehauau has ordered tue
state superintendent of prisons to take
vigorous action. It is certain that a mob
would not now move on the Tracy City and
ininau prisons unless they were determined
to do or die. Gov. Buohauan in an interview
could not say whether the leaders of the
mob, if arrested, oould be convicted in
Anderson county.
Tile GOVERNOR A HOUSED.
Speaking of the release of the convicts
the governor said: "There should have
beeu a heavy guard at each of these pris
ons Tbe trouble bas been that the lessees
and representatives of the state have re
fused to pay forßuch guards and there have
been none, the stockades should have been
defended with powder and ball. The two
remaining prisons must be defended vigor
ously, for anding so is not only sustaining the
law, but is defending tbe good citizens of
the state ugaiust danger from criminals
at large. Tbe prisons must be guarded,
and the matter must be settled afterward.”
Dispatches received here from several points
iu Kentucky state that over ojO convicts
have been captured, and are held to await
instructions from tbe state lessees. Gov.
Buchanan has offered a reward ot $5,000
for the arrest and convio ion of the leader
of the mob at Oliver Springs, and one of
$250 for every man convicted of participat
ing iu tbe riot.

A VICTORY FOR BRIGGB.
Ths Presbytery Eleml-ees tbs Charge
Against Him.
New York, Nov. 4 — Ths New York I
presbytery, which is to try Prof. Charles ;
A. Briggs of the Union Theological Semi- I
nary for heresy, met this morning in tbe l
Scotch Presbyterlun church on West Four- |
teenth street with a large attondauce.
l’ruf. Briggs was present and pleaded hta 1
ow n case. One of the chief charges against
him was that he disputes the exempt! n of
the Bible trom error. Tne semen ended at
t> o’clock by the p:esbyterv dismissing ti.e
charge.
Dll. BRIGGS’ STATEMENT.
Dr. llriggs read a statement in which he
objected to the charges as lacking specifica
tion au.l vague. He sdd no man regretted
more than he any disturbance to the har
mony in the church. Ho declare 1 his belief
in the Bible as the only rule of faith and
belief.
Dr. \ an Dyke, in moving to dismiss the
eeso, said he and and so not in tbe interest of Dr.
Briggs, who had said he wanted a trial,
but iu the interest of the peace, purity and
unity of the church, which all the presby
tery had sworn to study. Once began a
heresy trial must be pursued to the
bit’.er end and to o great detriment
of the church. Dr. Itrigg* had met his ac
cusers line a man. lie had no conscious
intention of disturb! g the peace of the
church. He deeply regretted having caused
such disturbances. Is it just or Christiau
like to hound a man who had come forward
with such a straightforward statement?
DJI. VAN DYKE’S PLEA.
Dr. Van Dyke complimented the prosecu
tion committee for their excellent work, but
asked whether it was not better to wait for
further light from God before rushing iulo
unavailing prosecution ad weakening the
force of discipline. By dismissing the case
the presbytery would not swerve
one hair’s breadth from its well
worn path. Members undoubtedly differed
with Dr. Briggs iu some of his views. Ths
speaker, for oue, did not c incide with his
view of prog essive sanctification. But Dr.
Briggs bad cleared himself of all onarges
that he had declared against the Bible as
the only infallible rule of faith and belief.
A BOOK OF DISCIPLINE.
Cob Johu McCook, of the prosecuting
committee replied to Dr. Van Dvke. lie
said tbo latter had spoken evidently with
the idea that there was no Book of Discip
line in tho Presbyterian church; but as long
as men are human, the necessity for discip
line must exist. The case of Dr. Briggs
had reached a crisis at which it would
bo folly to dismiss the proceedings be
cause it would not result in what Dr. Van
Dyke wants —peace anil unity of the oburch.
The committee of prosecution would notap
peal to tho higher authorities, and the case
would remain a stumbling block In ths
church for at least two years. There
would be no delay if the case wore pro
ceeded with, because the committee pro
posed to try the charges promptly. Either
the accused is orthodox or not.
DELAY WOULD BE UNJUST.
A dilatory motion like Dr. Van Dyke’s
would lx: a great Injustice to Dr. Briggs.
Dr. Briggs had failed to say that he would
retract his declarations which ai e com
plained of. His expressions of regret at
liaving caused anxiety in the church,
counted for naught. Personally, the speaker
would be happy beyond measure if tho case
could be disposed of to-day, but on his con
science he could not wish for a summary
close, for he believed in ali sincerity that
every charge against 13r. Briggs would lie
proved.
THE RESOLUTION.
The motion as finally adopted roads:
fiesolved, That the presbytery of Now York,
after having b tened to the papirof the Hev.
Charles A. Briggs, In the case of the Presby
terian church in the United States of America,
against him as to the sufficiency of the
charges and specitlcati; ns In form aud
legal effect, anil without approving of the
position stated m his inaugural address, at the
same lime desiring earnestly the peace and
quiet of the church, and in view of the declara
tions mad by Dr. Briggs touching his lo.aity
to tho holy scriptures aid the Westminster
standards, anil of his disclaim n put on some
of his words, the presoytery deem it best to
dismiss the ease, anil hereby does so dismiss it.
T* e resolution was ad ipted by a vote of
9-1 to 39. Of those who voted ave, 71 were
ministers and 18 elders. Rev. Dr. George
W. F. Brisch chairman of the prosecuting
committee was sorely disappointed. He
gave uotice of an appeal to the synod.
COOK COUNTY UNDER A CLOUD.
The Republicans Seem to Have Swept
Everything Before Them.
Chicago, Nov. 4.— Complete returns re
ceived from every precinct in Cook county
show that the entire republican tioket was
elected yesterday. Not a man seems to be
missed. Tbe republican candidates for
county commissioners in tbe city
district appear to have re
ceived majorities varying from
7,009 to 14,000. Eckbart, the republican
candidate for drainage trustee, received
5,000 more votes than any other candidate
for that office. The only democrat eleoted
was Lyman K. Cooley, drainage trustee,
who comes in as tbe miuoritv representative.
It is one of the most sweeping republican
victories over known in Cook county, and Is
largely due to the continued dissensions in
democratic ruuks. A significant fsa’ureof
the election is that nearly every mao in
dorsed by the American, or "Know-noth
ing,” associations appears to have been
elected.
LAND OF THE OHEROKEE9.

lized tribes. It is thought to be the largest
land suit ever institut?d in America.

| EFFECT OF THE ELECTION
BLAINE THINKS HE 18 THE ONLY
REPUBLICAN WH3 CAN WIN.
Harrison Nevertheless Btill Anxious
to Secure the Nomination Ohio
Looked Upon by tbe Republicans as
the Only State In Which tbe Contest
Hinged on National Issues.
Washington, Nov. 4.—The election#
were tbe chief topic here t >-(lay. It woo
really remarkable to see bow both the re
publicans and democrats drew satisfaction
from the returns. The President and all the
cabinet officers, except Secretary Blaine,
claimed that tbe fact that Ohio wont re
publican by a small majority with that
democratic disadvantage, was an indorse*
ment of ths administration and its support
of MrKinleyism. Ohio, they claimed, was
tbe only state which voted on national
issues and on tbe tariff and on
silver. It voted with the admin
tsbfation. At tho same time M-. McKin
ley’s victory was not sweep ng enough
to make him a formidable rival for tbe
presidential candidacy against President
Harrison, who represents Mr. McKiuley an
well as Mr. McKinley himself. Massachu
setts they thought went democratic on local
issues. Tbe President is represented an
gratillod that the influence of the New Yorlq
republicans should be neutralized by tbn
defeat.
Tbe Warner Mifier w ing having defeatwl
tho I’latt wing after tbe Platt wiug had
defeated It, both are In poor condition to
dictate to tbe republican national conven
tion. lowa of course went democratic on the
liquor questiou, and Pennsylvania wenk
reuubllcau because the convention indorsed
President Harrison’s administration.
HlB HOPES FOR NEXT YEAR.
Noun of thestatou which went democratic
would go democra ic next year, the Presi
dent said, ad he sees no reason to abandon]
his efforts to got a ronou.l .ation. As m
matter of fact, he was disappointed and i
discouraged, but he is willing to take the
chances. Ha thinks (Secretary Blame will!
not want to. In this he seems to t e mis
taken. Secretary Blaine tb.uks he can na; ry(
New York, Massachusetts, lona and every)
other doubtful state next year, and hot
thinks, too, that he Is tbe onlyi
man in the Republican paity whw
can. He think* Maj. McKinley's election,
was the result of the letter he had written
to the Buoy rut editor and n it the result of'
Maj. McKinley’s devotion to Mollmleyism,'
and that the result in Pennsylvania wax'
directly due to his friends. Nevertheless
that President Harrison or tbe result of
yesterday's election is likely to preveuv
Neoretary Blaine from taking the noraiua
tion is held by man/ shrewd observers,
who think that Pecrotary Blaine does not
want to lake great risk.
EFFECT ON THE DEMOCRATS.
It is admitted bv most democrats and
held by must inuubUouns that the nomina
tion of Mr. C’levelaud for President and the
election of Mr. Mills for speaker me ran
dfi td probable by the success of the demo
crats and the concentration on tbe tariff
issue. The speeches of Mr. Cleveland and
of Mr. Mills in New Yoric and Massachu
setts stand out now in men’s minds. Tho
talk of a western candidate for the presi
dency a -fins t<> have gone down with Gov.
Campbell. Gov. Boies even is talked of
only for Vice President.
Everybody but Secretary Foster seems
gratified at the pros: eel that Senator Sher
man will he re-elected. Ris not strange
that Secretary Foster, who wants so much
to be senator, should lie sorry to see his own
chances disappearing in the probability that
Senator Kherman will be re-elected in spitn
of G .v. Foraker. Gov. Foster hoped to slip
lu between tbe two.
DEFEAT OF THE ALLIANCE.
The apparent subsidence of tbe farmers*
alliance is received with gratification by
both sides. The democrats Jo not have to
argue out their satisfaction. The return*
on which it is based speak hr themselves.
They say that they indicate that the Demo-'
cratic pnity bas held all it really gained laE
year, and that they indicate what it wi!B
accomplish next year. Tbe result lit
Massachusetts pleases them most. They ail
speak of it first. They do not agree wittx
tile President that Gov. Ru sell was elected*
chiefly became be was the better man, bu*
they claim that it was because be stood for
tariff reform and honest money, and thaE
this me ms further victories in Mas aohu
sntts. It also means, the eas ern democrat*
think,a very wholeeomo effect on the speak
ership campaign, ou the action of the House*
of Representatives, and on tha
action of tbe next demooratio
national convention. Borne of them who
have been in Mass •cbuseUs think that tho
defeat of Allen will seriously retard tho am
bition of Henry Cabot Lodge, whom they
recognize as the real candidate. The other
democrats who have been iu Massachusetta
are full of praise for Josiab Quincy aud tut*
other young men who helped Gov. Russell
mike what they so generally term hi* 1
splendid campaign.
