Nkw York, Nov. 7. (Special.) The
New. York City election was remarkable
for the general quiet that prevailed. De
spite the intense party feeling that run
with great fierceness in every district
from the Battery to Spay ten Dy vil, with
the exception of a few ordinary encoun
ters, there was no happening that could
be called riotous in any section. Four
oi the districts watched by close observers
resulted in no discoveries that were
more striking than the ordinarily seri
ous, determined mood the average voter
seemed to be in. Men who never drenm
of taking breakfast before 0 o'clock in
the morning were everywhere at the
polls long before they were , '.ilv open
for voters. They stood iu the chilly air
reading the city pnptrs, calming waiting
till the time came lor business to begin.
In the bit: districts on the west side
there were long lines of men who stood
for hours without being able to get an-
wherc near the polls till two or three
hours alter they had got a place in sin
gle files on the sidcwulk. At one time in
some of the brown stone districts where
the Republican strength was voting many
of the voters became suspicious as to
the real cause of the slow movement
ahead of them nt the ballot boxes,
feeling that tlx delay was caused by
mulicious inactivity of their enemies. In
many inatut as there was some basis for
this view ol the situation, and when it
become apparent to inspectors and
watchers that loo much time was being
taken up by slow cuachcrs there was a
cry: (jet a move on you: una tilings
became rustling. There was actual dis
franchisement in hundreds ot cases. In
various parts of the citv the unfortunate
fellows who were ullowed no guidepusu
behind the scenes, ere unable to make
ballot ends meet legally and bad to give
up the job finally. They were inanv, but
tbey vcercnotthe only men who hud gone
to the trouble ol being registered ana
lost their vote. The cause ol it ull was
uutiuestioiiablv lack ot booths. It is true
the law siwa there has to be u booth tor
every 5o voters and that iu several dis
tricts extra booths were quickly put in
place the night lit lore election day; but
all that did not alter the fact that hun
dreds of men in the city yestcrduy stood
in line and had finally to see the poll
close in their faces bclure they could
reach the boxes.
The insp cturs in some of the districts
were in lull sympathy wild the men tin
back in the line when the hands of the
clock neaicd the hour ol lour, but, thty
assert, they were not to blaim; that the
infernal ballot system was nt the not
torn ot the whole Immutable business
and booths had little to do with the
condition of ufl'airs. Anyhow.it is the
general belief ot the voters in the uptown
west side where lucre was the most
cause for complaint that the next elec
tion riuy there will be hi tter lacmties lor
votes il lue next legislature is lurnisuea
with prool ot the obvious luck ot boom
room for voting.

.11 STIFIAIH.E HOMICIDE.
I'likuowii Ne-itro Killed Ni'
CoopiTs,,
Coroner L. U. McKrnver returned last
ight from Cooper's, where he had gene
to hold an inquest on the body of the
negro killed by F. C. Watkins Monday
night. I'pon the investigation, Mr.
Watkins, who lives two mites above
Cooper's, stated that the negro came to
bis house about 8 o'cl ck. He knocked
nt the door and was invited in by Mrs.
Wntkins, The negro entered and walked
to the middle ol the floor. When asked
what he wanted the man replied that he
wanted to stay nil night. An argument
ensued, Mr. Watkins insisting that the
negro was in the wrong house. The
visitor was told n dozen times to leave.
In tbe meantime he had taken a seat on
a box, but on being ordered out the Inst
time rose nnd started toward the man
tel, where Mr. Watkins' pistol could be
seen. Induing so he passed Mrs. Wat
kins and shoved her aside with bis elbow.
The husband jumped up, pushed the
negro back, opened the door und kicked
the negro out, shutting the door after
him.
An nxe stood near the door, and this
the neo.ro picked np nnd threw through
the door, the weapon tailing a few leet
from Mr. Watkins' child. Mr. Watkins
took up his pistol and ran to the door,
just as the negro was coming up the
steps. He emptied the pistol, winch con
tained tour cartridges. 1 nc negro went
around the house, and Mrs. Watkins a
minute later said s c thought she heard
him coming through the dining room
window. Mr. Watkins went into tbe
vnrd, where the negro was found, dead.
Lmorv Fortune and I Ho, bird, who
were nt the house, corroborated Mr,
Watkins' testimony.
Dr. McBraver savs the negro was shot
once, the bullet going in on the lelt shout
der, penetrating the chest and passing
tntough the lung.
The coroner s iurv, composed of T. A
Brown, W. R. Goodson, W. L. Stepp, T.
M. ork, I. vi. Baker and S. 11. btrpp,
found by their verdict that it was a cuse
ol justifiable homicide. Mr. Watkins was
untler arrest until the jury gave its ver
dict.
The dead negro was uuknown. He
was about 40 years old, 5 leet 2 inches
tall, Imir slightly gray, and wore light
mustache and chin whiskers. There was
a deformity on tbe third finger of the
left hand, nnd n vaccination mark nn the
left urm. Tbe man, Coroner McBrayer
says, must have been Insane.

Cuicauo, Nov. 7. A survey of re
turns yesterday shows that in the west,
the northwest and on the Pacific coast
the Republican lar.dsli.lc s cms to be
overwhelming, nnd in the southwest the
Republican gains reported are ot such
magnitude as to suggest almost u icvc-
ution.
The only exceptions to the nre dppcnr
to be in California and Nevada. In Ne
vada tbe silver party, which exists as
a party iu thnt State, only, has, to all
appearance, beaten the Republicans, the
Democrats and rcgtt'ar Popu'ists, elect
ing its State ticket nn.l Congressman.
There is also an element ot doubt in Ne
braska, where the election ol Major
(rep.) over Holeomb ( pop.-dem.) is by
no meaus assured. With these excep
tions, however, the tide of Republican
success appears to be overwhelming.
Ohio has given the largest Republican
majority in its history, wiping out not
only the McKinley plurality of 85,000,
but going above the bigh water mark
set by John Brough in 18(33 ol 101,000.
It is thought that tbe official returns
will show a Reoublican plurality ol from
140,000 to 150,000.
Colorado has repudiated Populist doc
trines and swung back into the Republi
can column, electing the full Republican
ticket and both Congressmen. Kansas,
too, has returned to the Republican
faith, and .terry Simpson is buried under
the landslide ulong with the other Pop
ulists.
Wisconsin has reversed her verdict ol
two years ago, nnd has elected a Repub
lican State government nnd !) out ol 10
congressmen of the same poliiicul b iili
In Illinois the Dcintserats nave met n
crushing defeat. Not only has the State
shown a preference tor the Republican
candidates us expre scd by some 40,000
or 50,0(10 plurality, but the congress
ional delegation has been turned over
almost bodily to the Republicai s, Wm.
M. Springer going down with bis party
in tbe 1 ith district. I he city ot lin
eage), too, has cast 25.000 plurality
against tbe Democrats. The legislature
will be Republican on a joint ballot and
the result of the balloting is a complete
reversal of the political situation.
Indiana is in fall fashion too. The
State ticket will have from '0,000 to
25 000 Republican plurality, and the
victt.rs wili gain four congressmen. The
election of W. M. Ilolman in the fourth
district is more than doubtful and the
Republicans claim that the official count
will retire the great objector from the
national legislature.
Minnesota is Republican by 30,000 to
40,000 plurality, Nelson winning against
the Democrats and Populists. Michigan
gives the Rci-ublicnns u plurality of 40,
000 und unless the official count changes
tbe outlook greatly tbe entire Congres
sional delegation will be Republican.
Practically the same may be said ol
Iowa, ulthough the Dcm crats there
have a prospect of saving one Congress
man, Hayes in tbe second district. Tnc
State ot Washington is Republican by
9,000 to 10,000 plurality, including Con
gressman. Idaho's contribution to the
luud slide is 2,500 plurality and a Con
gressman Irom thnt State.
North Dakota has endorsed the Repub
lican trick bv 1,000 to 3,000 plurality
and in the Territory of Oklahoma the
Republicans have elected u delegate to
Congress.
So much for the states with Republi
can pluralities. Turning to those which
which retain their allegiance to the Dem
ocrats: Arkansas returns it solid Demo
cratic delegation, but by n reduced pltt
nility. Iu Kentucky it is probable that
that the Ashland district, heretofore
a bulwark of Democracy, will be be rep-
resented in the 54th Congress by Denny,
Kenuhlicnn. This will be due more to 1
tins will be due more
the disaffection of Breckinridge Demo-
crats than to any growth ol Republican
sentiment. In Louisiana the lltmocrnt
pluralities have been cut down to such
an extent thnt the Rttiublicnns claim
two congressmen, whether upon good
ground or not the official count will tie-
terminc.
Tennessee is all mixed up. lucre arc
conflicting claims as to congressmen and
even the result ot tbe gubernatorial con
test appears to be involved. It can
hardly be doubted, however, that re
turns will show the election ot lurney
(Democrat) bv a sate plurality. Down
in Texas two congressional districts, the
tenth and twellth, ate in doubt. In
Missouri the prevailing drilt is mani
fest in reduced Democratic pluralities for
the State ticket, and claims of Republi
cans thit tbey will gain one or two con
gressmen, Mississippi stands firm in the
Democratic laitn.
1 his about completes the list and it is
not likely that the situation outlined
will be changed materially by tnc omciai
count. '1 he Prohibitionists have shown
their usual small strength, and the much
discussed A. P. A. mtlucnce has appa
rently vanished in the air. The whole
verdict ol yesterday's election seem to be
that tbe two great parties were squarely
opposed to each otber and that the re
publicans got the most votes.
