’ork. Nov. C.—The election ivas
^kcb;o for the general quietude that
ailed in thfo city despite the intense
♦arty* feeling that raged in fierceness
in evtry dkstrict from the battery to the
Spuyten Dyvil. With tbe exception of
a few ordinary encounters there was
no happening that could be called riot-
ous in any section.
A tour of the districts by a close ob-
server resulted in no discoveries more
triking than the extraodinaryly serious
determined mood the average voter seem¬
ed to he in. Men who never dream of
taking breakfast before 9 o’clock in the
tnorning long were everywhere at the polls
[voters. before they were legally open tor
They stood in tbe chilly air

In the big district on the west
fcde Rood there were long lines of men who

Hpne ^Bistricts rime In some of the brown stdne
where the Republicans strength
noted many of the voters became sus-
U^Ht’ement ^■ions br ahead to thereal of them cause and of at’the the slow bal-
an ^ ftrling grew strong that
,-ipe owelay was caused by tbe “Inactivity”
ol ® DPI h1es. In many Instances
L t ip<re was some basis for this view of
[ am situation and when it became appar-
k cut to tbe insectors and tbe watchers
^ that too mneh time was being tHken
Bnp ^mry by tbe slow “coaches” there was a
“get a move bn you,” and things

cases
HBrious parts of the city. Unfortunate
fellows who because of their illiteracy
hnd who are allowed no gnide posts be-
‘hind the screens were unable to 1 make
khe ballot ends meet legally and had to
■ce up the job finally, but gone'to they were
the only ones who had the
/•troubles” ^heir of being registered and lost
vote The cause of It all was up-
•questionably the lack of booths. Tt is
true that the law says there has to he
a booth for every 50 vote-s and that
in several districts extra booths
quickly put in tat." place the night before
election day. did not alter the
fact that r. hundreds ______.. of men In the _ city
today stood in line and had finally to
to see the polls closed in their faces be-
fore they could reach the ballot boxes.
The Inspectors In some of the districts
were in full sympathy with -the men far
back in line when the hands of the clock
neared the hour of four, but they assert
that they were nrft to blame, that the
“informal inrormai ballot Danot system” system was was at at the tne
bottom of the whefle lamentable result.
and t i e 1)<x)ths h ? d , ’ ttl » to do with the
ooDaltlon a. of affairs in question. Any-
how the general belief of the voters in
uptown wards where there was most
cause for complaint is that next election
day there will be better facilities for
voters If the next Legislature is furnish-
ed with proof of the lack of time and
the lack of booth room for 'voting.
IN BROOKLYN.
Brooklyn, Nov. 6.—A more quiet
tion was never known in’ Brooklyn
than that which passed off today. It
afforded a marked contrast with last
5 'ear when there yyas iffiueb excitement.
produced by the riotous scenes in
Gravesend. Now this former town Is
a. city ward, and- instead pf polling
places being bunched together at the
town hall where ail the voting was
formerly done under the eye of Mc-
Kane, the polling places were scatter
ed throughout the ward. The keen air
prevented much loitering about tire
polling places throughout the city, and
the booths of the workers who distrib¬
uted palters and gave Instructions in
-voting, were nearly deserted. There
were arrests for illegal voting, but
some of them were due to the errors
of registrars in taking down numbers
The voting proceeded slowly, owing to
the multiplicity of ballots, anil •mrwu
voters .spoiled their ballots in their
first attempt, but the bulk of the vote
of the city was oast by noon.
HOW TAMMANY TOOK IT.
New York, Nov. 6..—There was an
oduinous sin-noe as tlie returns were
read at Tammany Hail. “Tammany

j beaten,” was tha cry that went round
the hall. The strains of Boyne’s Band
j were sufficient to keep the people in
! humor. .
Police Justice Ryan, who was one
of the few prominent Tammany men
remaining at the wigwam, said things
looked bad. “It looks like a Republican-
landslide,” said he, "and I’m afraid
ve are going to ,>e snowed under.”
Nicholas Donohue made an address,
i fie could not believe that two such
! “thorougih-sculed” Democrats as Sen-
| ator Hill and ex-Mayor Grant could’b-
j beaten In the State and city of New
I York. By this time the news had
1 spr.-nd that Hill and Grapt were d. feat
i ed, and absolute silence prevailed in
j the hall. Mr. Crain then broke the mo
! notony. He introduced John B. Me
I Goldriek, secretary of the Tammany
! Hall organization, and he met with
| a groat ovation. You have heard m
' announce,” said lie, ‘In past year--, the
victories of Tammany Hal’.. I have
j tonight, I am sorry to say, to announce
defeat. We have lost the city
j by 25,000 and the State by 100,000 votes,
j It has been a landslide. A tide that
; we could not stem. We have, at any
j rate, nailed our colors to the mast ami
j fought A wail to the last.” the crowd
went up from as
Mr. McGo&drick gave out the ollirial
j statement that victory had deserted
I the ranks of the Democratic party, and
I that Tammany Hail was defeated.
CHEERS FOR HILL.
Mr. Crain seeing there was no use
prolonging the agony, said: “I have
; one to aek you before I go, ami
I that is to give throe cheers for I)avid
1 B. Hill.”
Words cannot convey the intensity
of the cheer that followed. The crowd
completely lost control of itself. Men
threw their hats in the air. while the
| I ladies in the boxes waved their hand-
kerchiefs. Then Mr. Crain called for
I three eh en-s for Hugh J. Grant, ami
tl)ey were g.vcn with a right good will.
j The “braves” th n slowly left th
i hall and filed into the street. The glo
| l-ies of Tam-many Hall s emed, for the
: present, at least, to have deparl-d.
A big crowd lounged outside 'J'am-
i many Hall until late into the night.
Neither ex-Mayor Grant nor any of
i tbe big Tammany men earn * I tlii
; wigwam during the night.
SENATOR HILL SILENT.
Albany, N. Y., Nov. 6.—S.-namr Hill
.
j left the'executive chamber for hi;- home
at midnight. He declined to be int r
viewed. Just, b'-Coza. Icuviug for the
j executive mansion Governor Flower
said:
I “The elections sb jw that a tidal wave
of Republicanism has- struck the coun¬
try from Mane -to California. Our
| party was dilatory in repealing the si I
ver bid and tariff law. This has been
recognired, and when the tariff bill
was passed no one s emed pilling to
father it. The result shows that bus;
ness men have vo‘ed the Repuhlican
ticket in order to give their business
interests a rest. The result in N w
York City and Brooklyn shows that
the , peo-p-.e , want a pure -and better gov
ernnujnt for those cities. The result
shows that Senator Hill’s vote and Mr.
Wheeler’s combined would lack over
100.090 of carrying the State.”

THE LOSS IN BROOKLYN.
Brooklyn, N. Y„ Nov. 6.—The Citizen,
recognized as the regular Democratic
representative in Brooklyn, has an ex-
tin with th A double leaded matter:
“The city of Brooklyn and the -county
of Kings are again in the Republican fiat-
list. Morton’s plurality here, if the
nros thus far received are to be relied
upon ns indicating the ratio, will not
fall below 10.000. lh s of course

and in all probability involves the loee
of the five congressional districts.
CLEAN SWEEP IN BROOKLYN.
Brooklyn. N. Y.. Nov. 8.—The Repub-
licaiis have made a clean sweep in
Brooklyn. Morton carries the city by
about 18.000. Saxton’s plurality is a
couple of thousand less. TTarmnn. Repub-
