New York, Nov. 9,—Now that it is
definitely settled that Benjamin Harri¬
son will occupy the presidential chair on
the fourth of March next, that he will be
sworn in by a democratic chief justice
and before a republican senate and
house, it is interesting to note the views
of politicians on the result. To a man,
the republican leaders claim a policy of
indulgence towards the south, while, on
the other hand, the democrats predict
disaster and distress as the outcome.
The British press is apparently much
shocked at the defeat of the administra¬
tion. It would appear as if they regard¬
ed the success of Mr. Cleveland as afore-
gone conclusion from the moment the
tidings of Ill's nomination arrived.
The Times says : “It was said well,
upon the occurrence of the Sackville af¬
fair, that American politics were an un¬
fathomable mystery to an English
mind.”
The Standard says : “Mr. Cleveland
had the press and the best element of
the country at his back and still suffered
defeat. Brag and bluster appears to have
been a match for both."
The Globe: “The election of Benjamin
Harrison again illustrates the mighty
power of deep-rooted prejudice.”

swirled into the wide, tumultuous scenes
from every corner of tho city. The

bear the suspense of ignorance any

feeble men crept out and
got into snug positions where they could
watch the varying figures through their
spectacles, and tell the roistering, excited
young men around them that it was a
more glorious night than the old times
ever saw.
Down in front of the newspaper offi¬
ces a prairie of faces seemed to be spread
out from grim St. Paul’s to the Brooklyn
bridge. it the When the cars passed through
crowds parted like water and
flowed again into the wake, hurrahing
and swaying with passion.
But although this bewildering scene
turned the city into a babel, the revolu¬
tion was one of order. No blows were
struck. Never in the history of New
York was such patience, common sense,
tolerance and good nature exhibited. A
man who had $10,000 wagered on the
result, and with wealth ana beggary at
once threatening him, could hear the
exultations of his political foes and
smfle. It was a war < if voices and not
of lists. Even the police who were scat¬
tered in these great throngs had to join
in the enthusiasm and yell like the rest.
The crowd which watched the republi¬
can returns in front of the New York
club’s old home at the Worth monument
sang:
Down in the corn fields,
Hear that mournful sound;
All the democrats are weeping—
Grover's in the cold, cold ground.
Whfn the mighty multitude that stood
before the Herald’s bulletin caught the
sound of the republican chant they
howled in colossal tones:
Four ! Four ! Four years more !
Grover’s elected president once more !
Then the republicans sang with terrific
startling energy, just as their bulletin made the
nia had announcement for Harrison that with Pennsylva¬
gone an in¬
creased plurality :
Oh. Ben Harrison,
And Help I'll me to back some safe shore,
go to Buffalo,
And stay for evermore.
The cry of “Grover! Grover! has a
walk over” that went back was some¬
thing appalling m its volume, and ladies
could be teen leaning out of the win¬
dows of the Fifth Avenue hotel beating
time with bandanas and shouting demo¬
cratic war cries at tho top of their dear
little voices.
In the teeming tenement house dis¬
tricts there were the old-fashioned
scenes that all true Americans love to
look upon. Thousands of happy urchins
brought forth boxes and barrels, the
treasures of a month of patriotic petty
larceny. Out of back yards, cellars and
alleys, from woodsheds and roofs they
came. lit fires They and piled danced up heaps of fuel and
around them like
devils, while their fathers and mothers
looked on from sidewalks and windows,
happy to see in their offspring the first
burnings into of the the field spirit that sent a million
men to prove that the will
of the majority was the will of the na¬
tion. How they shrieked and writhed
and pulled faces—acres and acres, miles
and miles of them. What was it to them
whether Harrison was “in the soup” or
whether Grover was “in the cold, cold
ground ?" To them it was simply the
national feast of cheers and confedera¬
tion of bonfires. There were boxes and
barrels and fences and hoop Rkirts and
hay and straw and election booths to
burn, and smoke as from a stormed and
sacked city.

tliat somebody was “in the soup” and
the devil knew who.
Hundreds of newsboys rushed through
the (juieter streets flooding the air with
wild, mad cries. No one seemed to care
what a newspaper cost. Men would lean

and nalism yell till to they the jagged round out Mercurys how it of jour¬ all

Was it Harrison or Cleveland? What

did it look outside in the state? How
was Indiana? Was it true that Connec¬
ticut was conceded to Cleve¬
land? There was a kind of in¬
sanity tliat coursed through the quiet
homes turning everything into a de¬
lirium. Tired men and women would
go to bed and try to sleep. At midnight
thev could stand the anxiety no longer,
and hurriedly dressing again rushed to
the nearest bulletin i>oard, there to be
jostled and crowded, and sucked into
the roar of “Four! four! years more!"
This wonderful night scene in New
York was a demonstration tliat will not
be forgotten while the present genera¬
tion lives—so vast, so like a restless sea,
and to full of sound, good temper.
While midnight, these words there were being written

Republican Gain* in West Virginia*

state is still in doubt. All reports so far
received show republican gains, some of
them greater than expected, and if con¬
tinued Harrision will get the state by

Goff, for governor, is probably 1,000
ahead of his ticket.
The legislature will be close. The re¬
turns so far indicate a republican major¬

house—a majority of three on a joint
ballot.
This will make Goff United State*

trict Atkinson (rep) is elected to congress
by from TOO to l,- r *00 majority.
In the second the democrats claim 130

New York, Nov. 9.—The splendid
logy of the president by Gov. Hill,
Albany, is commanding great attention
here. There never was a braver
in the governor's career.
Said a prominent politician and a
publican :
“It opens up a naw phase of the
ernor’s character I had not noticed
fore.”
“Ho may well have been pardoned for
back-slap at the president such as
gave him. It would have been
doned had lie even attributed the
defeat to an idealist and a political
cator; the result has almost justified it.
“But, instead of that, he gives Mr.
Cleveland all the glory, all the
and all the sublimity of honorable de¬
feat. If I had my vote again the
ernor should have it for hia manhood,
nothing more. I think there is
doubt at this time that lie is the hero
the hour and tho democrats would
well to nominate him for the higher of¬
fice of president in 1892.”
Below are appended some extracts from
his speech delivered to a serenading
ty in Albany ;
Our success in the gubernatorial con¬
test is marred by the siiadow of national
disaster. In common, with every true
democrat, 1 greatly regret the defeat of
President Cleveland in the state and in
the nation. He deserved better at the
hands of the people of this country.
Honestly, bravely and courageously he
gallantly led his party in a great contest
for tariff reform, and suffers defeat ow¬
unfair ing to false clamor, unjust prejudices,
and representations efforts and all the gigantic
combined of the monopo¬
lists of the country.
As he understood it, regardless of per¬
sonal or political consideration, and he
should have been sustained by the tax¬
payers, consumers and the masses of the
people subserve, whose true interests he desires to
and whose rights he unselfish¬
ly endeavored to maintain. It is not
now whether necessary the or profitable lie boldly to inquire

It is sufficient to say that he trusted
the leaders of tlie democratic party.
After a full and careful consideration of
tho whole subject, he deemed that the
best and truest interests of tlie country
required this that the with issue should lie marie
at crisis, and that patriotic and
deliberate conclusion when once reached
there should have been prompt acquies¬
cence. has only The principal with of tariff reform
met a temporary defeat.
Sooner or later it will ultimately triumph
in this country. President Cleveland
and the democratic party were right and
deserved to succeed.
Tlie argument was with us. and two
weeks’ longer discussion would have
given us the victory. Permit me to sug¬
gest that there must be no back track
taken upon this question. The issue so
courageously Cleveland presented by President whole

people flag has must not be abandoned. Our

there it must remain. Temporary dis¬
aster must not be permitted to discour¬
age us in our effort to relieve the people
from unjust and unnecessary taxation.
Temporary expedients will only endan¬
ger or postpone our final triumph. Let
us tariff steadfastly reform, adhere and the to clouds the principles of
that now
obscure our path will soon pass away.
Tlie country has had the benefit of a
wise, economical, and aide administra¬

nal, speaking of the result in reference
to the south, says:
The really progressive men of the
south, though perhaps calling themselves
democrats, have no sympathy with free
trade. They regard it as a menace to
the prosperity of the south, and they
are right. The interests of the south in
this regard are identical with those of
the north, except that the south is even
more interested than the north in main¬
taining the policy of protection. Tlie
north would suffer Ies3 from free trade
than the south would in proportion as
it is stronger, richer, and fetter able to
stand commercial disaster. A consider¬
able of number of progressive described southern tor
men the class voted
General Harrison, and a much larger
number desired his election. We
have reason to believe that many
who did not vote for him do not
regret his election. We think we can
assume that they will never have reason
to do so. Gen. Harrison is not merely a
strong friend of industries, the policy which of protection

MISS JOHNSON WAS BARRED.
She Offered Her Ballot but tbe Election
Inspector Rejected It,
New York, Nov. 9.-— Mias Annin P.
Johnson, tlie secretary of the equal rights
party, was up betimes Tuesday morning.
She was, in fact one of the family astir
in Mr. Cynthia Leonard's pretty apart¬
ments over on West Twenty-third street.
Miss Johnson is a young woman of
medium height and rather slightly built.
She has brown hair, a fresh English
complexion, a gentle manner and a low
voice—tliat “excellent tiling in woman.*
She has also frank, blue eyes, rather
deeply set beneath her browns.
Miss Johnson looked tired and a trifle
nervous as she drew the curtains aside
to look out into the gray, cheerless morn¬
ing. Then, with the celebrated Bijou,
Mrs. Leonard’s Japanese put, trotting at
her heels, she began a tour of the rooms
to collect the ballots which she proposed
twenty-one-year-old to offer at the polls as United a free, white and
Btates citi¬
zen, and therefore a voter.
At this stage of proceedings a voice
from behind a manifold Japanese screen
which makes a brilliant zig-zag across
the far end of the room, exclaimed: “It
makes no difference what tickets you
take, you won’t be allow-ed to vote.” •
This utterance came from the equal

finally Cliarles she found Hubbell, them. Then her law¬
yer, G. arrived, and a
procession of three set fetween out for the polls,
on Seventh avenue, Twenty-
first and Twenty-second streets.
The cigar store where they were lo¬
cated was full of men, and the inspect¬
ors stood tehind the row of little glass-
fronted boxes gravely regarding the
somewhat slow process of depositing the
espied eight slips in Johnson, the right slits. W hen they
Miss these inspectors
assumed a most forbidding expression.
The crowd of men looked attentive and
interested, but thoroughly respectful.
Miss Johnson stood in line. When her
claimed turn came, gruffly, the biggest inspector ex¬
“I’ve waving bothered her UBide:
no time to be with any
but legal Johnson voters.”
“Miss is a legal voter,” said
Mr. Hubbell; “she has been duly regis¬
tered. “She and has if qualified business in law”—
no to bo registered,
and I refuse to accept her vote,” quoth
the Inspector, getting red in the face and
big looking anxious to say a large — with a
D.
“Do you put yourself on record as de¬
clining to accept the rote of this duly
registered and qualified citizen?—because
we propose to carry this to the United
States court?" queried the lawyer.
Tlie inspector looked still more per¬
turbed, but assented, and a faint whiff
of brimstone was wafted after MIsb
Johnson and her companions as they de¬
parted. 11 was accompanied by manly
accents,
Miss Johnson didn’t tarry to distin¬
guish the words, but accompanied her
lawoer to the United States court in the
damus postoflice building to apply for a man¬
to show cause why she was re¬
strained from voting. Several hours of
waiting there revealed the fact that not
a single United States court judge was

tressed people were seeking judicial aid.
Commissioner Shields said Judge
Brown “ought to be there;” but he
wasn't. Then the persevering little par¬

ly home, and her lawyer spent the re¬
mainder of the day seeking a judge, and
finding none.
At 4:30 Mr. Hubbell returned to report
this failure. “And so I have lost my
vote," said Miss Johnson, “and all be¬
cause of those renegade judges, who
should Jiave teen accessible to day of all
days.” Johnson
Miss is not at all discouraged.
She says she has teen three years pre¬
paring herself to claim her right of suf¬
frage, and she proposes to establish it
yet.
“Plenty allowed of women have been begging
to be to vote for years. 1 real¬
ized that was no way to get anything
from men. I determined to demand my
right, and 1 shall get it in the end, see if
I don’t,” cried tlie plucky little would-be
voter.
Her case will be taken to the higher
courts at once, “and when a woman says
she will, depend upon it."

iu Switzerland—Etc.
New- York, Nov. 9. —The
announcement appeared in
Birmingham Daily Post;
Mr. Chamberlain has concluded
separate and private treaty, one which
happily requires no ratification by a
litical l tody—a treaty of
lady being Mias Mary EmJieoU, It
understood that no formal or public an¬
nouncement of th* engagement should
be made until very shortly before the
marriage. This restriction is now re¬
moved, and we are enabled to state that
Mr. Chamberlain sailed from Liverpool
on Saturday last in the Cunard steamer
Aurania, tor New York, for the purpose
of celebrating his marriage.
From New York Mr. Chamberlain wilj
go immediately to Washington, and the
marriage will take place there within a
few days after his arrival. For a few
weeks Mr. and Mrs, Chamberlain will
remain in tho United State*, paying a
series of family visits, and shortly before
Christmas they will arrive in England,
when Mr. Chamberlain will be again pre¬
pared to take his full share in public
work.
From the autumn session he will of
course be absent, and we can venture to
assure him that, under circumstances
so friends, interesting his to himself and his
constituents will readily ex¬
cuse their distinguished representative
from attending upon the discussion of
tbe estimates, ana also for abstinence
from the political controversies which
may take place in tlie country. W»
venture with confidence to go further
and say that not his political and his
personal opposed friends only, but many who are
to him in politics will hardly
concur in wishing Mr. Chamberlain a
