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 h ir the returns.

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. . . . ... . . _ Forty-five wards and precincts in Ohio show a net Republican gain of 422 over 13-1 and a net Democratic gain of 48 over 1880.

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.

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.

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 in Chicago, give Oglesby, Rep., 53.507 and Harrison, Dem., 33.302.

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. New Management Wanted.

( HENRY CLAY’S DEATH. Scene in the Senate YV .eu t 7 ie Sad New* was Announced—Hwnnegiin’s Motion to Adjourn—The People ol' the Capitol City Shocked Beyond Measure—The •Statesman's Burial. Detroit Free Press “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 House, lor I rememtier as we passed through the rotunda that It was lull of members issuing therefrom. “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.
