The governor and Mrs. Hughes greeted them from the porch of the mansion.

heartily for coming to give me this greeting. The Indications from the returns so far as they have been read are most gratifying. I am deeply rejoiced for the splendid victory for the national ticket. It is most inspiring, and I want to thank you all for the earnest work that you have done that has made possible our victory in this state. It has been a great pleasure (o go from one end of the state to the other and meet directly so many of my fellow citizens and talk over with, them the great questions in which we are interested, and I want to thank you all for the loyal support that you have given to the ticket. I thank you most heartily. This is a time when emotion gets the.better of words and 1 would not trust myself to speak fully all that my heart would prompt me to say. Once more from the bottom of my heart —I thank you.” Deneen Wins In Illinois.

Springfield, 111., Nov. 4.—Gov. Deneen has been re-elected in Illinois by a plurality of from 40,000 to 60,000, while Judge Taft has carried the state by more than 200,000. Gov. Deneen ran about 150,000 behind the national ticket, and nearly that number behind the rest of the state ticket.

Cincinnati, Nov. 4. —Judge Taft at 9:10 p. m. sent the following telegram 'to Frank H. Hitchcock: “I am delighted to hear the favorable returns from all parts of the country, especially New" York, and I wish to express my gratitude to you for the work which you have done and felicitate you on the accuracy with which you foretold the result indicating a clear grasp and wonderful political knowledge of the situation. —William H. Taft.” Gov. Hughes wired Judge Taft at 8:30 o'clock: “Heartiest congratulations on your splendid victory.” Chairman Hitchcock was heard from as early as 6:30 o’clock. He said: “Hearty congratulations on magnificent vote.”

Daniel J. Keefe sent this message: “Congratulations on your splendid victory. Labor voters appreciate and recognize their real friends.” When the early returns came in he made particular inquiries regarding the state of New York and found much encouragement in the gains he was making upstate over the Democratic vote of 1904, but as the figures continued to be received, he relied on Greater New York to offset the heavy Taft vote above the Harlem river. Even in that he was bitterly disappointed and be soon realized that the state was hopelessly gone and with it his prospects of being elected. The president spent a short while in his office and then went back to the White House, only 100 feet away, to be with his guests, who Included the cabinet members and assistant secretaries now in town, and their wives, and Gen. Bell and Gen. Edwards. Shortly before midnight he made public telegrams o 4 congratulation which he had sent to President-elect Taft, Vice-President-elect Sherman, Gov. Charles E. Hughes of New York, Republican National Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock and Congressional Committeeman Henry C. Loudens lager.

Many Boy Seats To See Phillips.

Ed Kendall, agent for “The Wolf”, was in Rensselaer as per engagement today. He "brought with him 186 tickets for choice seats at the Lafayette Grand opera house on tbe occasion of the visit of Augustus Phillips there, Nov. 10th. “The Wolf 4 is a new play, and from all accounts one of the best that is now being played on any American stage, and all who see it will get their money’s worth in that alone, but it is not the mere fact of seeing a good show that is going to take our people to Lafayette, it is to see Gus Phillips, who stars in the performance. It is almost twenty years since Gus used to play a super part with visiting troups and he was always good for a laugh, and hiß old friends saw in him then the possibilities of a great actor. Although lie has now been on the stage for many years he has been in New York most of tbe time and only a few of our people have seen bim on the stage. So, the friends of Gus have decided to go to Lafayette in great numbers and see bim, giving him a fine ovation. The tickets Mr. Kendall brought here will be left on sale until Friday night, and must then be returned. The manager of the opera house has given Rensselaer people the first chance at the best seats in tbe house. The trip to Lafayette will be made on tbe milk train, and the return trip on a special leaving there after the show. The Monon has made a rate of $1.25 for the round trip.
