Washington - . Nov. 4.— The best opinion
here, basel on trustworthy returns, public
and private, is that Cleveland has carried the
uth, New York, New Jersey and Connecti
cut, and so is elected. It is also believed that
Cleveland has carried Indiana, California
m i Nevada. His majority in New Y ork is
pi .1 at 15,000, in Connecticut at 4,5.8% and
in New Jersey at 5,000. The Prohibition vote
is ,r-e and the Butler vote small. All New
En;laud, except Connecticut, goes for Blaise,
;u use Republican majorities are everywhere
cut .iuwn. Cleveland has 12,000 plurality in
i; ton, as against Hancock's 10.C0O, and
B unc’s majority will be only about 10,000.
i,. . Kboinsoß is re-elected, but Henry Cabot
I. is defeated. The excitement here, in
Na York and in Boston is great.
Washington gave itself up to an obserra
l l of the election to-day and to-niglit
secretary Frelinghuysen invited the
mcw.wrs of the Diplomatic Corps in diplo
mat t rench, the members of the Meridian
Congress, and some other distinguished peo
ple to assembly in the elegant diplomatic
r-.m at the State Department this evening to

a 4, ullman coach and started for Albany.
The city of Kuffalo complete gives Blaine a
majority over Cleveland of 1.052. Only 6
towns in Erie county are thus far reported.
Lockwood, Dem., for Congress is certainly
defeated, and Pavne, Dem., is probably de
feated by Weber in the Third-third district.
BLAIXK CARRIES BUFFALO.
The election here was very quiet, although
•J***® vote was polled, the largest for years.
” ith 3 strong Democratic districts to
hear from, which will probably give Cleve
land 400 majority, ani 2 Republican districts
to hear from, which will probably add
Blaine’s majority by 200, Blaine has carried
the city by 1,089. Ickv*ood, the Democratic
Ldpgressibnkl candidate, is defeated by over
>,200 by Col. Kurquhar. John B. Weber is
elected by probably a small majority for Con
gress in the Thirty-third district. Cleveland’s
own ward gives Blaine a majority over Cleve
land of 2im. This ward, as a ru’le, is 70'Re
publican majority. The vote for Butler in
the city will foot up about 12> and for St.
John about 810. The votes are just being
counted for the heads of the tickets. The As
sembly districts are coming in very slowly.
Lancaster, which is usually closely con
tested. gives Cleveland 100 majority.
THK VOTK AT TROY.
Troy, Nov. 4.—A light rain is falling, but
an average vote is being polled in thecitv and
county. The Blaine vote is running fully up
to that of Garfield in 1880, when the latter's
plurality in the county was 041. Burleigh,
Rep., will be re-elected Cong'essman iu the
Eighteenth district. The Irish Blaine vote
in Troy is estimated at 500. The Butler vote
is not as heavy as expected, and the St. John
candidate for Congress, McClellan, is receiv
ing a considerable number of Democratic
polls, as no Democratic candidate was nomi
nated. St. John’s Presidential vote islight.
Ten wirdsof Troy give Blaine 2,857, Cleve
land 3,220, Butler 235, St. John 50.
AT BROOKLYN.
Brooklyn, Nov. 4.—The polls were to be
closed at sunset, which was 4:55, but the
boarl of electors fixed the setting of
the sun at 4:58 o’clock. Much feeling
was expressed in the Republican dis
tricts against Independent Republicans, who
were conspicuous in their work for the suc
cess of Cleveland. The disaffection was in
the First, Seventh and Twentieth wards. All
the public offices and courts were closed, as
well as many of the stores.
AT ITHACA.
Ithaca, Nov. 4.—A rain storm is now
threatened and may prevent a large polling in
this city, which the morning vote indicated.
The Prohibition vote is estimated at 150.
Everything is quiet at the polk. There is much
trading and splitting on thecounty ticket. It
is believed the Republicans will elect tho
county ticket.
INDIANA.
Indianapolis, Nov. 4.— National and state
officers were Toted for to-day. The ticket is
long and returns will lie late. We have hi ard
from only four voting places, which show a
Republican gam of 58 and a Democratic gain
of 84, a net Democratic gain of 8.
11KNDRICKS VOTES.
With the exception of a brawl at Fairland,
Shelby county, the State election passed oil'
quietly. Notwithstanding lowering and
squally weather a large vote was |iolled, the
interest being very great. The vo el. r State
and countv officers besides Presidential
electors and Congressmen will make the count
tedious, and as yet nothing like accuracy can
ba had, nor any idea what tiie result w ill la'
on the national or State officers, while no re
turns an* vet in from the Congressional dis
tricts. At Fairland when the polls were
opened this morning an armed mob captured
the polls, ad drove men away with clubs and
revolvers. John Smith, Henry Smith and
other leading Republicans were knocked
down and is* a ten. and all Bed for their lives.
The election in this city was quiet
throughout. The full vote was polled. Gov.
Hendricks cast his ballot at the Second pre
cinct. Twelfth w ard, near noon to-day. and
then, in company with Hon. James H. Rice,
Auditor of the state, made a tour of Hie polls
of the city. Everywhere he was received
with the utmost cordiality and respect. Re
turning home he spent the evening in Ins li
brary. where, in company with personal
friends, he received Asrociatcd Press dis
patchts. To an Associated Press reporter,
who called on him early in the evening, Mr.
Hendricks expressed himself gratified.
“Then, with the reflection that the struggle
is at an end, you doubtless feel comfortable
over the resultV”
“Well, having accomplished the object of
the contest, I feel like laying it aside now
like an oui mitten. I entered upon the cam
paign. the like of which 1 never expected
again to make, but having been drawn into
it. of course I wanted to succeed.” The
Governor expressed great anxiety over the
result in Indiana, and said that the people
were much more interested in the canvass
even than in 1878. which was ihe prettiest po
litical contest he had ever witnessed. He did
not conceal his anxiety as to his anticipation of
ilie ic-nlt in the Ntatp confirmed by the re
turns, but none were at hand. At that time
the only messages he had recoiled were of in
quiry. ' He expected to stav up till midnight.
Twenty voting places show a Republican
gain of 1:3 and a Democratic gain of 109, a
net Republican gain of 14.
Indianapolis, Nov. 6,3 a. m.— Onehundrcd
voting places show a Republican gain of 1,15!i,
and a Democratic gaiu of BSo—a net Republi
can gain of 287. The ratio being continued
would give Cleveland 6,0v0 plurality. *
OHIO.
Coi.i'mbi s. 0.. Nov. 4.—The weather this
morning was uiurkv and threatening rain.
The polls were organized peacefully through
out the citv. A heavy vote was polled early—
about the same as at the corresponding' time
in October. Ticket peddlers at the polls were
active, the parties being designated by differ
ent colored badges, the most showy being
those worn bv the Prohibitionists. The mem
bers of many of the political clubs of both the
great parties assembled at their respeetire
headqu irters last evening and remained ai
night to le in readiness at the opening of the
poiia ibis morning. A quiet but deep interest
was manifested. No Deputy Marshals or
special police were observable at the voting
places early this morning.
AT CINCINNATI.
Cincinnati, Nov. 4.— The day opened with
a cloudy sky. Y'oting began promptly, with
no dieturbauce at any precincts. There was
much less excitement, and the interest and
crowds are smaller about the polling places
than at the Octolier election. At 9 o’clock a
heavy cold rain set in which had the effect to
drive awav all idlers, leaving only determined
workers towateh the polls. Atone p’-ecinct in
the Eighth ward where a colored man offered
a vote, who was refused on account of being
a non-resident, and was knocked down and
driven away. •* ...
Bain ceased falling shortly after 10 o clock,
and the w.-atlier turned colder.
The Secretary of State’s report for Ohio in
1883 does not give the number ot voting places
correctly. At the October election there was
2.017 voting places in the Slate. The vote will
be compared with Garfield’s vote in IssO.
The quietness of the election at Cincinnati
was brken at 5 o’clock in the Eighth ward ba
the refusal of bystanders at the polls, many of
whoui were armed with cluls. to allow col
ored men to vote. The men thus disfranchised
went to the United States Marshal for advic\
and this gave rise to numberless rumors that
the negroes were going, organized and with a
force of Deputv Marshals, to march iu a laxly
and c:ist their votes. This brought a crowd
to the polls, and the excitement increased by
patrol wagons hastening to the scene. Tne
negroes .lid not organize or attempt to vote,
and tiie crowd soon melted away. Soon after
this, in the same ward, a well-known citizen.
J. D. Cal dwell, accompanied a colored man
to the |xils to vote. The vote was challenged,
and the judges were almut to examine the i
man under oath, when bystanders forcibly
ejected Ilie colored man. A mob pursued and
caught bim and beat him until half a dozen
policemen succeeded in extricating the negro
from their hands. Soon alter tins u chal
lenged white voter was knocked down by the
same lawless bystanders. The situation at
lxlh precincts in this ward from then till the
polls ciost-d was threatening, and crowds
lined the streets in the vicinity expecting a
disturbance in the Eighteenth ward in the
afternoon. Peter Kelly stabbed seriously,
but not fatally. Policeman lloneyman, who
was on duty at the polls, lloneyman had
struck Kelly 3 * brother earlier iu the day.
BULLETS FLY ING THICK AND FAST.
The polls closed in the Eighth ward without
further disturbance, but casualties occurred
at other places Between 5 and 6 o'clock, at
Fifth street and Central avenue, Phil Hen
nessv and John Nealis engaged in a fight ; and
Ilennessy was fatally shot in the head. Nealis
is slightly wounded. About the same time,
on Price'* Hill. YV. Henry, an e*-p dieeman,
killed John Millen, and J. J. Hunter w as shot
in the hand. . . . ... . . _

VIRGINIA.
Richmond, Va.. Nov. 4.—The prospects for
a heavy vote in this State to-day were never
better, as there were no State officers to be
elected and no local issues in the canvass. In
the Fourth Congressional district the fight
was interesting, owing to the fact that there
were two Republican candidates in the field—
James D. Brady, white, and Joseph Evans,
colored. The Democrats nominated a candi
date merely to bring out a fuller vote for the
Cleveland electoral tieket. as the Republicans
have an overwhelming negro majority in the
district. Brady was the nominee of the Ma
hons |iar*y, while Evans was nut in the field
by the anti-Mahoneites. ana had been earn
estly supported by Gov. Cameron. The Demo
crats expected to elect eight of the teu Con
gressmen. The basis of comparison is the
vote for Congressman-at-large in 1882. when
.John S. Wise, Rea ijuster. defeated John S.
Massey. Dem., by 5,800 majority. The result
determines the strength of the white Republi
cans in Virginia, as it is the first general elec
tion since the Readjusters—by a resolution
adopted in their last State Convention —de-
clared themselves the Republican party of
Virginia.
The election at Fredericksburg passed off
quietly. A full vote was polled. There is a
Republican gain of 40 per cent, on Massey and
Wise over the vote of 1882. No returns from
the county have been received here.
Petersburg is alive with excitement to
night. No disturbance occurred there during
the election. Large crowds are in the streets
anxiously awaiting returns. Tiie vote in
Petersburg is: B aine 777, Cleveland 1,809,
Brady, Republican candidate for Congress,
I. Evans, Rep., Brady’s opponent. 9.18;
Rives, Dem., 1.521.
scattering returns from various portions of
the state show a small Democratic gain The
official vote of two-thirds of this city gives a
Democratic gain of over 400.
The Democratic majority in Lynchburg is
1 5 All tiie returns received from surround
ing counties show large Democratic gains
over the other elections. Daniel, Dem., in
the Sixth, aud Tucker in the Fifth Congres
sional district, are elected.
Returns from the c ty of Norfolk give Re
publican gains of 3*6. Portsmouth goes Re
publican by 35, a gain of 206 over 1882. Libby,
Rep., will probably be elected.
The full vote of Richmond for Cleveland is
7,600 and for Blaine 5,820—a Cleveland ma
jority of 1,780.
Richmond, Va., Nov. 5,3 a. m.— The Demo
crats claim ten Congressmen, conceding Re
publican success only in tiie Second and
Fourth districts.
AT NORFOLK.
Norfolk. Va., Nov. 4.—The comparison of
the votes from this Congressional district is
based upon the election lor Congressman-at
large in 1882, when Wise, Coalitionist, received
2,100 plurality over Massey, Dem., under the
reapportionment.

trict Pettibone. Rep . will lie re-elected. In
the Second district Houk, Ilep.. is re-elected.

zling rain and locomotion was made difficult by
reason of a heavy rain having fallen during
the night. Special dispatches say that it.
rained all night at Detroit, and was still
threatening this morning. It snowed nil
night at East Saginaw, and this morning was
raining hard. It was cloudy and threatening
at Fort Wayne aud Crestline, and clear and
pleasant at Youngstown. It rained all night
at Toledo.
The cleotir n in Chicago, and as far as heard
from throughout the State, was an unusually
peaceful one, while keen interest was felt in
the result as shown liy the fact that voters
stood in line for hours in the rain in order to
vote, at the same time there was an unusual
ly large amount of scratching. Owing to Hie
fact of the heavy vote, and to the further
fact that the numlier of voters in manv -'is
tricts precluded the possibility of getting
in all the ballots before 7 o'clock, tho time for
closing the polls, it necessitated a continuance
of the voting into the night in order not to
disfranchise voters in the line. The reaching
of even an approximate result may lie late.
t HlCAtiO, Nov. 5,3 A. m.—One hundred and
sixty-four precincts, including 43 precincts

ocratic gain of 50, the Fourth ward a Demo
cratic gain of 17, and Rockp int county a
Democratic gain of 66. Fayetteville gives a
large Democratic gam.

doubt as to the result. The Republicans con
cede the state to ihe Democrats on both
Presidential uml State tickets. The Demo
crats claim that the. majority will not he less
i han 10.000. There seems t< he little doubt
that the Democrats have eight out of nine
Congressmen, a gain of one.

iu reply to a message of inquiry from the Eng
lish Government a* to the condi'ion of affairs
at Khartoum, says that Col. Kitchener tele
graphs that Arabs from the south report all
luict. One of the messengers who was sent
to Khartoum some days ago reached that
place and was received by Gen.
Gordon with a salute and parade
of his troops. The British and French Con
suls were with Col. btewart, whose boat was
reported wrecked several days ago at YVady
Garna. It is supposed that M. Nicola re
mained behind, aud is therefore safe. The
Mahdi, witha6trong force of rebels, had ad
vanced upon Amdcrman, opposite Khartoum,
ami asked Gen. Gordon to surrender, when
Gen. Gordon replied that he would hold Khar
toum against him for 12years. El Mahdi then
retired a day’s journey south, de
claring that he would not flgtit for
two months. Many of his followers left him.
The Governor of Kassala had promised to
come to the assistance of Gen. Gordon. Mo
hamed El Heir held Berber for El Mahdi, bat
the people are afraid Gen. Gordon will attack
that jilace. The road from Berber to Khar
toum is closed, except by way of Metehow,

The campaign lias been very lively, especially

were made to beat Bisbee, Rep., the present
Representative. Besides electing full tickets
of electors and of C mgressmen the question
of holding a State Constitutional Convention
was voted on. Comparisons are made on the

DEATH OF A HEKMIT.
An Eccentric Character and an Avowed
Woman-Hater Dies Suddenly.
A somewhat curious story was devel
oped by a Coroner’s inquest to-day, says
a Philadelphia special of Nov. 1. For
more than 20 years an eccentric indi
vidual popularly known as “Skon, the
Hermit,” has lived alone in a shanty at
Twenty-fourth and Callowhill streets.
No one but himself is known to have ever
entered the place. It is said that he
never spoke to a woman if it was
possible to avoid it. Tradition and
the neighborhood have it that the name
“Skon” was assumed. Very uncom
municative, he never mentioned the coun
try of his nativity, though supposed to be
a Dane, any of his relatives, nor any
place of his former residence. He was
known to have lived in this misanthropic
condition ol mind in the citv for 35 years.
At the time of his death he was supposed
to be in the neighborhood of 80 years of
age. He refused to be the recipient of
charity, declining to accept food or other
articles unless he was allowed to do some
kind of work for them.
Yesterday about noon he was engaged
in repairing a shutter on Ralston street,
and had just stepped from the ladder and
was looking up to view his work when he
reeled and fell, dying within five minutes.
The inquest was continued to await the
result of the post mortem.
A Campaign Itcminigcence.
From the Allentown {Pa.) Regleter.
When ex-Secretary of War and ex-
United States Senator Ramsey, of Minne
sota, was nominated for Congress some 30
years ago in the district composed of
i-ebanon, Dauphin and Schuylkill, this
State, the vote was very close, and in or
der to get a majority it was not safe to
lose a single ballot. Ramsey had picked
up some Dutch, and could swear a little
in our Pennsylvania lingo. When mak
ing speeches he took occasion to show off
all the Dutch he Knew, and his mild pro
fanity took amazingly in most quarters.
One of Ramsey’s most staunch support
ers was Jacob Byrod, of Dauphin county,
a Justice of the Peace. One day a Whig
Methodist preacher entered the ’Squire’s
office and the Justice welcomed him with
the remark, “Wasn’t that a bullv speech
Ramsey made last night?” The reply of
the minister was a surprise. He did not
like the speech at all; said Ramsey had
sworn 52 times, and that he (the preacher
had come to bring complaint against the
speaker for profanity. Now, ’Squire By
rod was a conscientious man, and wished
to do his duty, though horrified at the
thought of a defection among the Metho
dist Whigs. So he looked over the stat
utes calmly and honestly, and then, with
a sigh of relief, told the minister that ac
cording to “Purdon’s Digest” it was no
crime to swear in Pennsylvania Dutch,
that language not being recognized bv the
laws. Tne minister went away sa. isfled,
the Methodist Whim did not break, and
Ramsey was elected.

“It was Henry Clay’s pu-pose,” said
John 11. Hamson, coutfnuinir his story of
his recollections ot the famous orator and
statesman, “to leave Washington imme
diately alter his speech. The early fall
weather was really the Indian summer
season, and most favorable to such a jour
ney as he had in mind, llis speech in the
senate chamber, on his farewell, quite
overcame him. Though he held to the
end under strong mental influence the
orator never rallied again, Very much
exhausted Clay was taken ‘to his
rooms at the old National Hotel
at \v ashington and never afterwards
lelt them. The winter came aud
went; the session continued with
it. Every day, right after prayers in the
Senate, the chair announced the state of
his health. The announcement directly
became rather stereotyped. It was usual
ly, ‘Mr. Clay is gradually failing,’ after a
lime it became ‘Mr. Clay is iailing rapid
ly;’ next we heard ‘Mr. Clay is sinking,
but his mind is very clear.’ Finally it
came to bo understood that if he should
die during the hours of the session the
bells should toll the announcement of it.
“It was on a morning 111 the early part
of May, 1852, a season bevond all others
the most delightfully beautiful m Wash
ington. The trees and shrubs of the capi
tol grounds and the flower luds were
fresh and pleasant to look upon. iiauae
gan, ot Indiana, an Irishman, bright as
silver, witty, eloquent, and always inter
esting, had the fl >or of t. e Senate, mak
ing a set speech on our policy with regard,
to foreign affairs, llis seat was well up
toward the rear. Bung of a quick
and nervous temperament, he took the
main aisle, and while declaiming would
work himself f .rward almost to the clerk’s
desk, discovering which he would bound
way back, going through these motions
continuously until he had finished. Han
negan was speaking in his quick, impul
sive manner, half way down the aisle and
progressing w ith an enthusiastic sentence,
when a single toll of a bell quivered
through the air. Hannegan ceased sneak
ing in a flash, bounded back to the rear,
turned pale, and in a tremulous voice
said: ‘Mr. President, the probabilities
are that the greatest statesman in Ameri-
ca is now no more; I move that the Sen
ate adjourn.’
“There was no chauco to vote upon it.
Instantly every man took his hat and
coat, aud before the second toll of the
bell came all were awav. The same sort
of proceedings must have dispersed he

“The rapidity with which the city was
thrown into mourning has always caused
me to wonder. Walking direct "from the
capitol, when we reached the edge of the
grounds where the peace monument now
is, Pennsylvania avenue was seou ‘o be
filled with streamers of black, hanging
from windows fastened to balconies,
wound round columns and awning poles,
and stretched across the street. It was a
solemn sight.
“The National Hotel was thick with
crape, and so was Morrison’s book 9tore,
adjoining it. It is the same store still, and
now kept by Morrison’s son, and formerly
the resort and lounging place of both
Clay and Webster. There were two little
back rooms,one always oecunied by Clay,
and the other by Webster. ‘Here, when
they had leisure, both would always bo
found reading and studying or discussing
literature, new and old, but very seldom
politics, with friends and admirers who
came to seek them out. Clay passed more
time at Morrison’s than Webster. The
little rooms did Dot communicate, ami
neither statesman could be seen by the
other.
“The event, though long expected,
shocked people to the extent that all busi
ness was suspended. Many barrooms,
even, were closed, and in others men low
ered their voices and conversed in quiet
tones, as if in the presence of the dead. 1
was in Washington af the time of the as
sassination of Lincoln, and again at that
of Garfield, but neither event appeared to
throw such gloom over the city as the
death ot Henry Clay. The feeling was one
of pure sorrow, unmixed with indigna
tion or anger, such as is Lit at the deeds
which led to the murder of the Presidents.
On thes; occasions men were boisterous
with threats and grief, but silence and
gloom overspread the city where lay the
dead body of the much loved orator and
statesman. It was in time of peace, and
the capital was unused to such shocks,
and tuerefore men talked in whispers
when all was over with ll■ nry Clay.
“He was buried in the Congressional
cemetery, and a monument waS placed
upon the spot, but there is nothing un
der it. Strangely enough, for all the
many years Clay had passed in Washing
ton, nis wile had never visiled that city.
Once he had started to take his daughter
to reside there during the session, but sue
died 011 the way. Mrs. Ciay always re
mained at their Kentucky plantation of
Ashland, and managed the estate while
her husband devote! himselfto national
affairs.
“His body was disinterred from the
Congressional emetory and taken back
to his old Kentucky borne, it was taken
by the Baltimore and Ohio to Cumber
land, as far as the railroad was then com
pleted, and from theneo in a hearse bv the
old National road to the Ohio river. Cere
monial obsequies were held tor Henry
Clay in all the cities of the country. A
magnificent funeral arch was erected in
Detroit at the corner ol Woodward and
Jefferson avenues.’’
