ED FOR VICE-PRESIDET. A Republican Majority in Both Con. gress and Senate also Assured. New York, Nov. 3.--One of the most extraordinary election contests in the history of the country termin- ated to-day in the utter routing of the free silver advocates, the wrecking of the Democratic party and the triumph of the policy of protection and the muintenance of the gold standard as advocated by the Republican lead- ere. Itisthought at this hour (11 o'- clock) that 256 Republican Congress- aud perhaps au even greater number and a suffi- cient numberpf the new Legislature will be Republican to give that party control of the United States Senate.

Tammany's usual enormous majority in this city has been overcome, and _ this stronghold of the Democracy has given a plurality of 21,000 for McKin- ley. In Brooklyn McKinley's plugal- ity is 29,000. In the State outajge' of the two cities he has a_ plurality of 234,000. Inevery county and every town there have been Republican gains, which are equal to all that Re- publican campaign managers claimed in this State. Frank 8. Black, the Republican can- didate for Governor, is elected by about 240,000. Timoth y = Wood- Lienten ruff (Rep.) for and Irving G. Vann, for ie of the Court of Appeals, are elected by near- ly as large pluralities. The Repnbli- caus have eleeted 29-Republican Con- gressmen to the Democrats' _ five. They wall have ubout 110 out of the 150 members of the State Assembly, and the election of a- Republican to succeed David B Hill in the United States Senate is assured. About the only salvage from the wreck that the Democrats have secured is the election of Sulzer, Cummings, McClellan, Bradley and Vehslage to Congress from this city. THE MAGNIFICENT VICTORY. Bhinecliffe, N. Y., Nov. 3--Gover- nor Morton said to-night, after re- ceiving definite returne at Ellerslie, showing .McKinley's overwhelming triumph :--"The magtificent victory won by the American people is an unmistakable verdict for the main- tenance of national honor, sound law and order, and is a renew- money, ed affirmation that the nation's pledges, based on a single monetary ard, will not be violated." EXCITEMENT IN BUFFALO. Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 3.--The inter- est evinced in the election returns has never before been equalled in this city. By six o'clock the crowds began to gather around the newspaper offices down town, and at seven o'cluck it was almost impossible to move on the main streets. Every man and boy had atin horn, and asthe crowd was over- whelmingly for McKinley, the noise was simply deafening. McKiuley's great sweep was very popular, and the people are wild with enthusiasm. The Evening Times was the only paper sup- porting Bryan in this city. 'There was a big crowd around that office early in the evening, but it soon dwindled away as the results became known. The demand for telegraph operators was unprecedented, Every hotel, huv- dreds of saloons, all the theatres, and many private Lonses were supplied with special wires for the evening, A DEMOCRATIC OPINION Buffalo, Noy. 4.--The Courier, the leading Democratic paper in Western New York, which refused to support Bryan or the Chicago platform, says of the election thismoruing :--'* The elec- tion returns from the so-called pivotal States show beyond ail doubt that William McKinley has beeu elected President, and that » House of Repre- sentatives overwhelmingly hostile to the unlimited coimage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 orany other rutio, bas The regular press de- and been chosen. spatches, the special despatches, the private despatches to the Courier from all directions bring news of a greut landslide, the effect 'of which has been felt in all parts of the country. The defeat of Bryan is ernshing be- yond all expectations, and from all quar- terscome reports of general rejoicing." MCKINLEY CONGRATULATED. Canton. Ohio, Nov. 3.--At 9 o'clock Major McKinley received a telegram of congratulation from his associate on the National ticket as follows: --'*Con- gratulations with all my heart on the glorious achievement urder your mag- nificent leadership. The manhood of the Republic has asserted itself, and the nation's honor and integrity will never again be assailed by the same forces. "Ganner A, Hospart." Major McKinley at 10,45 p.m. r ceived the following telephone from Chairman Mark Hanna st Cleveland:-- "The boys at the Union Club send love and hearty congratulations. You are elected to the highest office of the @ land by a people who have always loved and trusted you, "M, A. Hanna." HEARING THI: EEWS. At seven o'clock Major McKinley re- tired fur his supper, while the reading of the returns proceeded, Up to that time he had made no comment on the returns further thaniy to suy that the bulk of them came from the east thus far. When the favourable returns from Maine and Nebraska were read he sat impassive, and apparently oblivions to the the the parlour across the hall Mrs. Kinley and her friends received the returns. approval from In Me- near relatives and It was a trying ordeal for her, as she had been in bed with the grip up to early even- ing, bnt was determined to be about. By eight o'clock the character of the private despatches and general returns reaching the McKinley house were such that a feeling of absolute confi- dence took possession of those in the major's library. LONDON PRESS OPINION. London, Nov. 4.--Tbe Times and Chronicla announce this morning that they will publish special editions during the morping coutaining the latest election returns from the United States. The Standard in an editorial on the elections says:--"There is no doubt that Mr. McKinley has won a splendid victory. It is almost inconceivable that luter accounts can reverse the inference suggested by the data already received: Unless some strange pro- cess of falsifying the figures has been at work we most take it that Mr. Bryan mistook the shouts of the crowds in places like Chicago for the sober and mature judgment of the mass of the electorrte. Comment best deferred tilbthe returns are com- pleted, but enough is known to restore acalm in commercial circles, which Mr. Bryan's candidature so painfully disturbed. The shades of the founders of the great Republic would be per] turbed if they could see the present election methods. But, looking at it as it stands, election day is certainly one of the institutions of which Ameri- cans may justly be proud. In every sense itisa triumph of organization and discipline." exchuuations of friends crowded abont him, is _ The Daily News says :--"The com- mon sense of the American people ap- pears to have again triumphed." The comment of the Daily Tele- graph is :--"McKinley is elected, This ends the most sensational struggle for the Presidency of the United States since the time of Lincoln. For the first time in the history of the United States Socialism, disguise itselfs it may, hae been orgunized into a for- midable power, and has bronght itself within the sphere of practical politics. The struggle which began yesterday, and which will certainly see the cen- tury out, is a conflict between capital and labour, between borrowers and lenders, combinations of workmen and gigantic rings and trusts."

On Thursday evening Jast a lament- able drowning accident occurred at Port Dover docks, by which a highly respectable farmer numed Courtland Olds lost his life. He came in to meet his sister on the evening train, and after her: arrival took her to see the Shenango ferry which has just arrived in port. After looking over the boat they came onthe pier, and as the night was very dark, they both fell intothe slip. The sister, Mrs, Cun- ningham, was rescued shortly after- wards by bystanders with ropes and planks, but Mr. Olds sank and was drowned.

Winnipeg, Oct. 30 Mr. Tarte evident- ly is having a first-class time. A few days ago he and his friends intended paying a visit of inspection 'to St. Paul's Indian Industrial school, not far from the city. They informed the principal, the Rev. J. H. Fairlie, (late of Listowel) of their intentions, adding that they would take ltincheon with him. It was quite evident that some- thing took place which marred the success of the visit, for the Tribune next day severely criticised the meth- ods of the school and the inefficiency of the teacher, Mr. John MacDougull. A hornets' nest was at once stirred up. To-day the Rev. Sylva A. White, in- cumbent of the school, writesan open letter to the pressexplaining tHe whole affair. He states that the Rev Mr. Fairlie was quietly told he need not bother about supplying the liquor for the luncheon as the visiting party in- tended carrying along with them two cases of liquor. The reverend gentle- man politely told the party that they could not have liquor at the school, and he kept his word, for the lunch- eon, which lasted two hours, was taken outerde the schooi precincts. Ten minutes was devoted to the inspéction of theschool, and two honrs to the luneh- on. Mr. White concludes his letter tee :--In conclusion I must say that the reverend principal is to be ad- mired for the pluck aud courage he ex- hibited in firmly refusing to break the regulations and rules of the department even for Minister of Public Works. The Government may feel assured they have at least one faithful 'and conscientious official who will not ""bow the knee to Baal.'"
