Democratic Chances in the
State the Best.

Fear Almost Supplanted
by Utter Despair.
MICHIGAN IN FOR REFORM.
Cleveland Apt to Win Even
Without New York.
A VERY HOPEFUL PROSPECT.
The following te'egram was received by
Gen. A. R. Lawton last night from Hon. A. I*.
Gorman, of the National Committee:
“New York is close; both sides claim it.
We believe we have carried it by from 7.000
to 10,000. Indiana, New Jersey and Connec
ticut safe, probably Illinois and California.
“A. P. Gorman.”
Washington, Nov. s.—The editor of the
New York Times and the editor of the New
York Herald telegraph that Cleveland has
carried New York beyond a doubt by from
4,000 to 7,000 majority, and that having carried
Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut, as well
as the solid South, is undoubtedly elected.
Michigan, Wisconsin, California and Nevada
are claimed by the Democrats.
The excitement here to-day was intense.
The clerks and other Blaine Republicans who
were cast down by the news of last night,
n a sorry mood this morning. They
could not sit still at their desks, but must
wander around town seeking news. The
nows of the morning and mid’lay hours was
favorable to Blaine. This startled while it
delighted them. They began t o revive. By
night they were claiming Blaine’s election.by
the vote of tne entire North and Virginia,
with all the persistency of Whitelaw Reid.
They were happy again. But the corrected
returns from New York, showing that Cleve
land had carried New York and was elected,
depressed them and they went home early
slavering. Clapp closed up the squeezing
r ums and went home before the clerks, still
claiming Blaine’s election. Meanwhile a pro
n of colored men, cheering for Cleve
land, passed down the avenue.
The latest and best information is a dis
patch from the New York Times to Richard T.
Nlerrick stating that New York, Indiana,
Connecticut, New Jersey, and probably Mich -
uan an 1 Wisconsin, have gone Democratic,
together with every Southern State. Cleve
land's election is. the Times states, certain.
Thi- is confirmed by private telegrams from
senator Gorman and other. Cleveland’s ma
jority in New York is set at 3,000. Blaine has
been summoned to New Y'ork by his lieu
tenants. Whitelaw Reid claims the entire
N *rth and Virginia. This is laughed at.
Itelva A. Lockwood, the candidate of the
National Equal Rights party, said in an in
terview to-night that she was satisfied with
the result of the campaign inasmuch as she
had cleared $12,500, made by her lecturing re
ceipts.

who co-operated with them in bringing alioiit
tv. The figures on the electoral

At the headquarters of the National Repub
lican Committee the members of the Execu
tive Committee were in an unusually surly
mood. Steve Elkins declined positively to
say anything whatever on the political out
look. 'At the headquarters of the National
Democratic Committee Senator Gorman ex
pressed the utmostj confidence in the suc
c -and the election of Gov. Cleveland. He
sent a letter to a friend to-day in which he
stated his belief, founded upon the most relia
ble information to be had, that his party
would carry the State by 10.000 majority,
Connecticut bv 2,600, and New Jersey and In
diana bv small majorities. The feeling be
tween Tammany Hall and the County
Democracy has been much in
tensified bv the result thus far
acknowledged. For the moment the Tam
many people are stupefied by the force of the
blow which has been administered. They do
not hesitate to say that the County Democracy
sacrificed Cleveland at the polls for the bene
fit of Grace. The County Democrats retort in
a similar strain, but feel that as they hare
got everything, they can afford to be mag
nanimous. The feeling among the leaders at
both the National and State Democratic head
quarters was that the quarrel has cost Cleve
land 20,000 votes in the city.
The following is the full total vote
for the city and county offices: Mayor,
Grace, County Democracy and Citizens,

other citizen. Telegrams, many of them of a
congratulatory character, addressed to “Pres
ident-elect” Cleveland, arc pouring in upon
him. •

WHAT HENDRICKS HEARD.
Gov. Hendricks has been in receipt of tele
grams from various sources all day. In the
morning he answered a telegram from Joseph
Pulitzer, of the New Y'ork World, who asked
his opinion of the resu't and the reason. He
answered as to his belief in it. aud attached
an inquirv as to bow New Y’ork had gone. In
response Sir. Pulitzer telegraphed that New
Y'ork had given Cleveland a small plurality,
which might lie increased, and the State was
sure for the Democratic electors. The follow
ing telegram from the Y'oung Men’s Inde
pendent Committee of New Y'ork gave Mr.
Hendricks considerable personal gratification,
but it was not satisfying:
•■Believing that the war issues are settled
in Indiana, the Republicans of New Y'ork
have given you the Slate ami voted in favor
of administrative reform.”
This evening an Associated Pre c s reporter
called upon Gov. Hendricks, and was accorded
a brief interview.
“I firmly believe,” said the Governor, “that
Imliaua has gone Democratic by a decisive
majority, and am inclined to extend my esti
mate of last night of 5.000 to 8,000. As to New
Y’ork State, of course. 1 can’t he so certain. If
the Associated Press figures are correct, they
settle New Y'ork State sgainst Cleveland.
The division on the Democratic vote there
between Cleveland and Butler was due to the
employment of the latter to work in the in
terests of Blaine. There is no doubt that
Butler was working for the Republican man-
Sf At'the Democratic Committee rooms, while
the claim of carrying the State by over l<\eoo
is still kept up, a'further claim is made that
the Republicans are doctoring returns to de
ceive the people. Chairman Henderson says
that the Democrats have elected ten Con
gressmen and the Republicans one, Brovn,
with two districts, the Eight and Ninth, in
doubt. Chairman New, of the Republican
Committee, say that Brown. Johnson, Steele
and Owen are electee! to Congress, and that
the First district is in doubt. The State is in
doubt, and is claimed by both parties.
The Democrats elect 9 members of Congress
certain and probably 10. The Terre
Haute district is still in doubt. The Repub
licans elect Brown in the Sixth, Owen in the
Tenth aud Steele in the Eleventh. If the
Democrats carry the Eighth district the dele
gation will remain as it is now.
The Republican Clerk and Judge at Fair
land, Shelby county, refused tosign the elec
tion returns, claiming that voters had been
bulldozed and that the ballot-box had been
stuffed. An armed mob took possession of
the town and declare that they will kill the
Clerk and Judge unless they sign the returns.
The Sheriff and a posse of men have gone to
th fs*ni anapolis, Nov. 6, 3a. m—At present
there is no change in the situation as outlined
earlier in the evening at Democratic head
quarters. Chairman Henderson and Secre
tary of State Mvers continue to claim a
plurality of 10,000'for Cleveland iu the State.
They do not now insist on more than 10 Con
gressmen. admitting the election of Brown,
Steele and Owen. The Legislature is Demo
cratic The Chairman also claims the State
by a small majority, hut thinks the State
ticket is in doubt.

VIRGINIA.
Lynchburg, Nov. s.—lncomplete returns
from the Nineteenth district show large Dem
ocratic gains and indicate the election of
Trigg, Dem., for Congress.
Richmond, Nov. 5. —There does not appear
to be any doubt in the minds of the Demo
cratic managers that Virginia has gone Dem
ocratic by 4,000. The Republicans are claim
ing the State, however, with the hope that
further returns will improve their prospects.
The best Republican districts have been heard
from. It is probable that the Republicans
will not concede the State until a count de
termines the actual result.
Semi-official majorities in the Seventh Con
gressional district for Congress are: Rock
ingham 151 Rep., Shenandoah 200 Dem., War
ren 841 Dem., Rappahannock 510 Dem., Page
200, Greene 120 Dem.. Madison 450 Dem.,
Frederick 128 Dem., Albemarle 400 De n.,
Clarke estimated 800 Dem.
The southwestern mountain counties in
Virginia indicate large Democratic gains. In
the Seventh district O’Farrall, Dem., is elec
ted to Congress over Webb, Rep., by 3,000 ma
jority. In the Teuth district the contest is so
doubtful that no estimates are safe at present.
Official and semi-official returns from fifty
nine counties and all cities of Virginia give
Cleveland 11,784 majority. These returns
embrace many of the Republican coun
ties, and indicate that tiie State will give
Cleveland from 9.000 to l n ,ooo majority. It is
now quite certain that the Democrats have
elected eight of the ten Congressmen.
Nearly all the returns received show Demo
eral ie gains and few losses. The Democratic
majority may reach 8,000.

by 8,000 majority. The Democrats claim the
State by 5,000 majority.

indicate that the Democrats have carried the
State by 8,000 or 10,000 majority.
Cleveland's majority in 75 counties and all
cities of V irginia is 9,137. A careful estimate
of the remaining J 5 counties leaves a clear
majority of 9,090 fort eve la ml.
WEST VIRGINIA.
Wheeling, Nov, s.—The returns from this
State are very meagre. Goff, for Congress, in
the First district, is re-elected, and reports
from the Second district indicate Barbee’s
(fusionl election to Congress.
Eleven counties out of 52 give a net
Republican gain of 1,600 over the October
vote, a gain of 700 more in remaining counties
would give the State one-half—3 votes—to
Blaine and one-half to Butler.
MICHIGAN.
Detroit, Nov. b.—Tweqty-seven coun
ties shows a net majority for the fusion elec
toral ticket of 4.642, and for the State ticket
4,078. The Post (Rep.) claims the whole of the
national State ticket. It will be late in the
day before there can be told definitely any
thing about the returns. The muddy condi
tion of roads prevented returns from arriving
from back towns. At this hour, 6:25 a.m.,
lioth parties claim victory, and a full count is
needed to settle the question.
It is believed that the Republicans will
elect their Presidential electors. The contest
between Begole, Fusion, and Alger, Rep., for
Governor is very close aud both sides claim a
victory. The Eusionists elect Congressmen
in the First, Fourth, Sixth and Seventh dis
tricte, all of whom are Democrats. The Re
publicans elected their Congressional candi
dates in the Second, Third and Ninth districts.
Ilorr’s district is still undecided, but has
probably gone with the Fusionlsts.
The latest reports on Congressmen giro the
fusion ticket 6, all Democrats. Mayburv in
the First district, Comstock in the Fifth, YY'i
nans in the Sixth. Carleton in the Seventh,
Tarsney in the Eighth, and Fisher in the
Tenth." The Republicans elect 3—O’Donnell
in the Third District, Cutcheon in the Ninth,
and Moffat in the Eleventh. Full returns are
needed from the Second district to decide the
question, as the vote is very close. The
Fourth district is claimed by both parties,
and reports are so contradictory that h is im
possible to tell what the result will be.
The E'ght Congressional district has gone
Democratic. R. G. llorr, Rep., has been de
feated by Tarsney, Fusion. The Republicans
concede Tarsney’a majority of 500. The Dem
ocrats claim 1,400.
The returns in regard to the fusion may be
somewhat confusing. The Republican vote is
in full on the leading candidates. To got the full
fusion vote on President it is necessary to add
the vote given separately for Cleveland and
Butler. If the vote of the State is decided for
the fubiou ticket Cleveland will receive fi
electoral votes. Butler 6 and 1 goes for Blaine.
In voting the Greenbackersvoted for the same
men for the twelve electoral places, aud for
different men for the thirteenth place, which
allows a chance for one Blaine elector. It
was desired to find the relative strength of
the Greenbackers and Democrats, and hence
the vote is sent separately. The reports so
far in give very little information about ihe
upper peninsula, which is a Republican
stronghold, but the indications are that there
are great Democratic gains there.
The returns received this afternoon indi
cate the election of the State and national
fusion ticket, but later figures may alter this.
The Democrats now claim the State. The
Republicans claim the State by a clear ma
iority. The upper peninsula has been heard
from in favor of the Republicans, but the ex
act vote is not vet known.
Five hundred and thirty precinct* in Michi
gan give Blaine 88,671, Cleveland 76,101, But
ler 15,129, St. John 8,179, a fusion plurality of
2,559, and a net Democratic gain of 6,845. I’he
same precincts give Alger, Rep., for Gover
nor, 85,701, Begole, fusion, 78,384, Preston,
Prohibition, 7,159.
MAINE.
Augusta, Nov. s.—Conflicting reports and
rumors have been coming to Augusta all
night, but the latest dispatches received by
Blaiue early this morning give him a ma
jority of 5.000 to 8,000 in New Y’ork, and con
'firras his election.
Blaine was up most of the night receiving
election returns and slept late this morning.
The dispatches received up to 1 o’clock this
afternoon confirmed the earlier ones of this
morning as to the Republican victory in New
York, but gave lower figures. F'lorida and
Y’irginia were reported as claimed by the Re
publicans, the latter very positively by Ma
hone and others. Two hundred and twelve
towns give Blaine a plurality of 14,232.
Augusta has been excited all dav over the
election. Many congratulatory dispatches
were received from all quarters. About noon
Senator Mahone telegraphed a confirmation
of report from John S. YVise that Virginia
ha<l gone Republican. This news was very
consoling to Blaine’s friends. A dispatch
was received announcing that California had
declared for Blaine by a majority of 10,000.
Nevada bv a grod maiority ami Oregon
by 1,000. Several discouraging dispatches
were received from Indiana, which had pre
viously bqpn regarded as for the Republicans,
but Blaine’s friends were not disturbed be
cause they claimed that he could be elected
without Indiana. About 9 o’clock to
night a message was received from Mr.
Michener, Secretary of the Indiana
Republican State Committee, saying that al
though the vote was close Blaine would
almost certainly have a small plurality.
The following from New Y'ork was received:
“I have accurate returns from every district
6ave 187 in the State, and makmg ample
allowance for the latter, I am sure you have
carried the State. S. B. French.”
From New Orleans came an announcment
of an increase in the Republican vote ami also
from YY’isconsin. Mr. Blaine remained quietly
at home receiving returns, and being still
hoarse, he spent most of the time in his room
to avoid the fatigue of talking.
NORIH CAROLINA.
Wilmington. N. C., Nov. s.—The State has
gone so overwhelmingly Democratic that all
interest in returns has ceased to exist. The
Democrats have carried the F'lrst, Third.
Fourth. Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and
Ninth Congressional districts, and the Repub
licans carried the Second district, a Demo
cratic gain of one Congressman,
Charlotte, Nov. s.—The ticket Is a loDg
one and returns come in slowly, but they show
Democratic gains almost everywhere. In
formation from adjoining counties indicate
a Democratic majority tn the State larger
than Hancock’s majority in 1880.
OREGON.
Portland. Nov. s.—The State is Republi
can by 1,500 to 2,000 majority. The indications
are that Armstrong, Rep., is elected to Con
gress from Washington Territory.
SAVANNAH, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1884.
ILLINOIS.
Chicago, Nov. 6. —At 10 a. ro. the situa
tion was as follows: One hundred and sixty
two precincts in Cook county gives Cleveland
43,12*, Blaine 43,197. These include strong
Republican precincts, and leave heavy Demo
cratic precincts to hear from. It is estimated
that Cook county will go Democratic by 2,000
to 3,500. '
Returns from Illinois come in very slowly
for the State at large. The Republican man
agers claim the State safely for the Kepubli
can national ticket. It is expected that an
approximate estimate will be reached early
this afternoon. One huntlreil and twentv
seven precincts in the city of Chicago, out of
i! I’K 1 ’K. lve Hlaine 36,642 and Cleveland 34.510.
Nothing has been received to change the com
plexion of the Congressional delegation as
sent out last night. The Legislature on joint
ballot Is in doubt.
The city of Chicigo, with seven precincts
missing, gives Blaine 49,413, Cleveland 40,485,
St. John 502, Butler 493. Oglesby, Rep., for
Governor, received 45,197; Harrison, Dem.,
50,327; Robbs, Prohibitionist. 448.
The uncertainty as to the general result
provoked great interest in the later returns,
and the day in this citwhaa been one of high
excitement. The streets were thronged all
Tuesday night by waiting crowds in front of
the bulletin boards, and the conflicting nature
of the reports allowed the adherents of both
parties to cheer for the success of their can
didates when the indications tended their
way. The remarkable sight was presented of
these large crowds still lingering in the busi
ness heart of the city after the first editions
of the morning papers had appeared. The
evening papers ran hourly editions through
out the entire night to meet the craving of the
populace for the latest intelligence from New
Y ork and other doubtful States. As the day
a .vanced the crowds about the newspaper
offices were swelled to such proportions
as to blockade travel, and while there was
will cheering by the liepublscans and Demo
crats alike the behavior of the crowds was
excellent. The returns from Illinois came in
slowly, and were of a nature to cause doubt
as to the possible majorities, but the State
was generally conceded to the Republicans
both on the State and Presidential tickets.
The Chairman of the Republican State Com
mittee claimed during the afternoon 20.600
Republican majority for Governor, and a Re
publican majority in both branches of the
Legislature.
In this State 774 precincts, including 164 in
Chicago, give Oglesby 168,134 and Harrison
157,963, an Oglesby plurality of all of 4,706.
Chicago city gives Blaine 49,413, Cleveland
46,485, St. John 497 and Butler 502, a Blaine
majority over all of 1,930. Of the Chicago
city Congressmen the Republicans elect Duii
ham in the First district and Adams in the
Fourth, and the Democrats elect Lawler in
the Second district and Ward in the Third.
The Republicans elect their Congressmen in
the Sixth and Tenth districts. N. E. Worth
ington, Dem., is elected to Congress from the
Tenth district, instead of Starr, Rep., as re
ported last night.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Philadelphia, Nov. s.—The following
named Congressmen are elected in Pennsyl
vania: First district Bingham, Rep., Second
O’Neill, Rep.. Third Randall, Deni., Fourth

Twenty-seventh Scott, Dem., at large, Os
borne, Kep. A Republic n gain of four
members, the present delegation standing 16
Republicans, including Bruinm, Green backer,
to 12 Democrats.
Almost complete returns for 63 out of the 67
counties in the State show a gain for Blaine of
23,306 over Garfield’s vote of 1880. This would
indicate that Blaine’s plurality over Cleve
land will not be less than 60,000. The 4 coun-
hear from gave Hancock a majority of
3,077, but Blaine has gained almost uniformly
all over the State. They will he more apt to
increase than decrease his plurality.
Blaine's plurality in Alleghany'county is
16,000. '1 he full Republican county and legis
lative ticket has beeu elected. Janies 11.
Hopkins. Dem., was defeated bv James S.
Negley in the Twenty-second C ongressional
district by 30,000 majority. Thos. M. Bayne.
Rep., in the Twenty-third district, has been
re-elected by 6,000 majority.
Official returns from 7 counties in this State,
and a careful estimate from others, indicate a
piurabty of 70,000 for Blaine.
WISCONSIN.
Milwaukee, Nov. s.—Returns from over
half the tojvns and wards of the State now
assure the election of the Republican national
and Stale tickets by not less than 10,000. The
Republicans have elected six out of nine Con
gressmen. with one district, the Sixth, in
doubt. The following are the Republican*
Congressmen elected, with their probable
majorities: Caswell, First district, 5.000;
Lata! late, Third district. I,f00: Y’anschack,
Fourth district, 1,000; Thomas. Seventh dis
trict, 1,500: Price, Eighth district. 0,000; Ste
phenson, Ninth district, 12,000. The Demo
crats have elected Bragg in the Second dis
trict aud Rankin iu the Fifth. The contest
between Guenther, ltep., and Smith, Dem.,
in the Sixth district is very close, and the
official count will orohably bc necessary to
decide the question.'
It is now thought that the Republicans have
elected the entire State ticket, secured the
Legislature, and gained four Congressmen.
The returns from the deciding precincts in
the Sixth Congressional district now assure
the election of Guenther, Rep., which had
been in doubt till this evening. This will
make the State’s Congressional representa
tion stand 7 Republicans to 2 Democrats.
Returns from 438 towns and wards show a
net Democratic gain of 7,778 on the Presiden
tial ticket as compared with 1880. Should a
proportionate gain be shown for the Demo
cratic ticket in the roppiining precincts,
Blaine will have carried the State by 10,000
majority. Laterreturns are showing a smaller
average Democratic gain.
LOUISIANA.
New Orleans, Nov. 5, 3:30 a. m.—Specials
from the Third district indicate the defeat of
Kellogg, Rep., for Congrc.-s. In St. Mary’s
parish 12 polls have been heard from, and
these, with the estimates from 4 others, give
Kellogg 400 majority.- In 1880 Darrell’s ma
jority was 1,608.
Ex-Gov. Michael llahn, Rep., has been
elected to Congress from the Second dis
trict by a good majority. The election of ex-
Gov. It all n. Rep., to Congress from the Sec
ond Congressional district by 1,433 majority,
defeating Judge YY'. T. Houston, was a great
surprise to the regular city Democrats. Gov.
Hahn was nominated by the Independent La
bor party.
Friends of Boatner, Ind., and Morey, Rep.,
concede Gen. King’s (Deni.) election to Con
gress in the Fifth district by 3,000 majority.
Gov. Kellogg’s friends admit his defeat for
Congress in the Third district by 3,000 majori
ty by E. J. Gay, Protectionist Dem., a wealthy
sugar planter. A dispatch to Gen. A. S.
Badger, Chairman of the Republican Com
mittee, reports the mysterious disappearance
of Felix Monley, United States Supervisor at
Fansee Point. IU has not been seen since he
left Louisville at 12 o’clock last night with his
returns for New Iberia. It is thought that he
has been violently dealt with.
Tho fellowing is the official vote in New
Orleans: Cleveland 12,258. Blaine 0,893. Cleve
land's majority in the State will be about 20,-
000.
MISSOURI.
St. Louis, Nov. s.—Almost complete re
turns in the Eighth and Ninth Congressional
districts in this city re-elect O’Neill, Dem.,
in the former by 800 to 1,000 majority and give
Glover, Dem., in the latter 2,000 majority.
The returns from the State are still very
much scattered, but it seems to be safe to say
that the Democrats will carry their State
ticket by a round maiority and,elect their
Congressmen in all districts excepting the
Fifth and Thirteenth, which the Republicans
claim.
St. Louis, Nov. s.—John G. Prather, a
member of the Democratic National Com
mittee, received the following dispatch late
to-night from a prominent member of tho
National Committee at Indianapolis:
“It will take no official count to determine
the vote of Indiana. Large gains in Demo
cratic counties and Republican losses in their
counties show 700 Democratic gain over the
vote of two years ago. Flighteen counties are
yet to come in. Cleveland has Indiana by
many thousands. Austin H. Brown.”
OHIO.
No disturbance is reported in any part of the
State. Dispatches from Y’icksburg claim that
Catchings. Dem., for Congress in the Shoe
string district is elected by 600 majority over
Pearce, Rep. Cleveland's majority in that
district is very slight. Dispatches from all
sections of the State show that the negroes
voted largely with the Democrats.
Very little attention has been paid to Ohio
to-day, as it was largely Republican. The
majority will probably exceed 30,000 and may
reach 40,000. Twenty-seven counties show a
net Republican gain over October of 6,755, not
including Hamilton county.
All the counties in Ohio are reported un
officially, except Henry, Monroe, Ottawa and
Paulding. The net Republican majoritv is
36,165. The four counties named gave a net
Democratic majority of 5,316 in October. This
gives Blaine an approximate plurality in the
State of about 31,000.
MARYLAND.
The vote in Baltimore city was the largest
ever polled, and amounts to 63,249. Cleve
land’s plurality is 6,716, and his majority 5,343.
The vote for St. John was 1,269, and for Butler
F4. Of six Congressmen the Democrats elect
five, which is a gain of one. McComae, ltep.,
in the Sixth district is re-elected by a de
creased majority two years ago. In the Third
district Cole, Dem., is elected bv a plurality
of 5,360. In the Fourth district Findlay,
Dem ,is elected by 1,385 plurality. Findlay’s
total vote runs ahead of Cleveland's vote'in
that district 198 votes. The delegation stands;
F’irst district. Charles H. Gibson; Second dis
trict. Frank T. Shaw; Third district, Wm.
H. Cole; Fourth, John V. L. Findlay; Fifth,
Barnes Compton; Sixth district, LouisE. Mc-
Coinas, Rep.
VERMONT.
White River Junction, Y’t., Nov. 5.
One hundred and sixty-seven towns give
Blaine 33,000, Cleveland 14,804, Butler 617, St.
John 1,325, Blaine’s plurality 18,196, with 73
towns to be heard from. The same towns in
1880 gave Garfield 37,625, Hancock 15,588,
Weaver 1,117, or a plurality for Garfield of
22,037. The remaining 73 towns to be heard
from gave Garfield 7,466, Hancsck 2,593,
Weaver 95. A proportional vote in this elec
tion will give Blaine a plurality, or the ag
gregate vote in the State of about 23,500,
MASSACHUSETTS.
Boston, Nov. s.—Voie of all cities and
towns in this State, with the exception of five
small town 9. foots up Blaine 141 304 Cleve

and Hancock 101,960, YVeaver 4,518, Dow 682.
The Gubernatorial vote, which does not in
elude the five small towns mentioned, foots
up Robinson, Rep., 152,812; Endieott, Dem..
106,647; McCaffertv, Peoples, 22.993; Seeley.
Pro., 8,045. In 1883 Robinson had 160,092

gress in the Sixth district, has petitioned fora
recount of the votes. The plurality of Lover
ing, Dem , is 1,173.
MISSISSIPPI.
Jackson, Nov. o.—Every Congressional
district in the State is undoubtedly Demo
cratic by a good majority. Chalmers is de
feated beyond a doubt. Cleveland’s majority
is not less than 20,000.
Nothing has been heard to change the result
already announced. The latest returns only
increase the Democratic majority. There is
an unbroken delegation to Congress, a gain of
2 for the Democrats. The chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee claims the
State by a majority of 30,000. This is the final
until the official vote is received.
KANSAS.
Atchison, Nov. s.—Atchison county com
plete, except one precinct, gives Martin, Rep.,
for Governor, 148 majority over Glick, who
carried it by 1.300 in 1882. Col. Martin esti
mi^ e Li! 18 tf ur ality in the State at from 30,000
to 40,000. The Champion claims the Stale for
Blaine by over 50,000 plurality. The vote for
St. John was insignificant. Tho complexion
of the Legislature will insure the election of a
Republican United States Senator.
At 8 p. m. the Republican State Central
Committee estimated Blaine’s majority at
50,000 and Martin, Rep., for Congress, 40.000.
Every Republican Congressman is elected,
and the Legislature is almost unanimously
Republican.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Concord, Nov. s.—One hundred and forty
five towns give Blaine 29,186. Cleveland 26,194,
St. John 1,026, Butler 208; Blaine’s plurality

4,118.
KENTUCKY.
The reports from this State are meagre, but
indicate slight Republican gains over the
Presidential vote of 1880. Democratic Con
gressmen are elected in the Firs’, Second,
Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh districts,
nd probably the Third, Eighth and Eleventh.
The lentil district, hitherto Republican, is
conceded to Toulbee, the Democratic nominee,
leaving only the Ninth district probably Re
publican. In the First District, Slone, Dem.,
seems to be elected over Turner, Ind. Dem..
and llustin. Rep.
NEBRASKA.
Lincoln, Nov. s.—The First Congressional
district contest is doubtful. The Democrats
claim the election of Brown. Fifty-two pre
cincts heard from give Blaine 2,547 majority,
which further estimates have increased to
4,397, This is nearly one-tlnrd of the vote of the
State, and indicates a majority of about 17,-
000. Gov. Morton, Dem., runs ahead of his
“' c *et, while Daws’ majority will be below
10.0J0. Ihe returns are coming in slowly and
in a confused state.
CALIFORNIA.
San Francisco, Nov. s.—ln California 286
Srecincts and wards in 44coiinties give Blaine

Excitement In London,
London, Nov. 5. —The American quarters
in Paris and London have been greatly ex
cited over the Presidential election in the
United States. The various news rooms were
kept open throughout the night, and as con
flicting accounts were received each party
became alternately jubilantor depressed, i he
Democrats, however, have been most san
guine. Private dispatches were hourly re
ceived at the American Exchange in Charing
Cross, where there were congregated anxious
crowds of American tourists. One dispatch
was received saying that New Y'ork State hail
been carried by the Democrats by 40,000 ma
jority, but reports and rumors finally dwindled
from that figure down to a Republican victory
of 5,000 to 10,000.
FATHER POINT IN A GALE.
The Waves and Winds Dashing Over
the Little Settlement with Wild Fury.
Father Point, Quebec, Nov. s.—a fearful
scow and wind storm from the east has been
raging since midnight last night all along the
coast. The wind averages 70 miles an hour.
The lighthouse and telegraph office here are
now oompletely surrounded by raging waves.
The roads are all undermined. The watch
house and several buildings here, and in this
vicinity and at Rimouska, nave been carried

RIMOUSKA INUNDATED.
Rimouska, Nov. s.—The tides, which are
unusually very high at this season of the
year, helped by a raging snow-storm and a
high northeast wind, have swollen tremend
ously, and the sea which is now running is
the heaviest that has visited this vicinity for
years. The whole town of Rimouska is inun
dated, and a large number of houses, barns,
stables and wharves have been carried away.
So far as heard from no lives have been lost

loss so far is estimated at 130,000.
WOLSELEY AND GORDON.
Newspapers and Official Telegrams Dis
agree on the Situation.

only answer I can give to the rumors of the
fall of Khartoum, which are most improba
ble.”

SHE WAS ONCE A BARONESS.
Romantic History of a Daughter of
Commander Meade —The Divorced
Wife of C. K. Landis—Afterward the
Widow of a French B<iron—A Third
Husband in Prison for Bigamy.
On Aug. 14 Gerald Moore, a business
man of this city, says a St. Paul special
of Nov. 2, was arrested on the charge of
bigamy, and on being brought before
Judge Brill last week pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to three years at Still
water, whither Sheriff O’Gorman took
him yesterday. The charge was preferred
by Thomas Lodge, who claims that
Moore, whose real name was L. J. Mc-
Afee, had been married to his (Lodge’s)
sister in Dublin, before meeting and
marrying his present wife.
McAfee’s present wife was the Baroness
Mutzenboch, and was a daughter of Com
mander Meade, of the United States Navy,
and niece of the late Maj. Gen. Meade.
Since McAfee’s arrest the lady has been
living at the Home for the Friendless,
protected and cared for by charitable la
dies of this city. To add to her misfor
tune she has a babe only a few months
old. She says that when 19 years old she
became she wife of C. K. Landis, of Vine
land, N. J., one of the wealthiest land
owners in the State. Later he was ar
rested for shooting a newspaper editor,
who published slanderous articles con
cerning him, but was acquitted. Twelve
months later be killed a neighbor who
had won a lawsuit from him, but was ac
quitted on the ground of insanity.
“At this trial,” she continued, “I first
learned of my husband’s enormous wealth,
that yielded him an income of $90,000 a
year. Soon afterward I left him, and went
to live with my parents. During my ab
sence he obtained a divorce on the plea of
desertion, but the court gave me the cus
tody of the children up to their seventh
year, when they were returned to him.
During these four years both my parents
died. I w'ent to Europe in 1876, traveled
three years, and spent the winter of 1879
in Nice, where I met Baron von Mutzen
boch, who built the celebrated bridge over
the Bhein at Coblentz, and three months
later we were married. After his death,
in the spring of 1880, 1 visited America,
returning to Europe, where I lived with
my husband’s family at Wiesbaden. Dur
ing a second visit to America I met Ger
ald Moore, and mutual attachment sprung
up which culminated in marriage on
reaching New York, where we lived until
Mr. Lodge, of Dublin appeared and
charged my husband with bigamy. Then
for the first time I learned from my hus
band's own lips that he had been married
to Mr. Lodge’s sister.”
The Baroness then detailed their flight
from New York and settlement in St.
Paul, and continued: “Since my hus
oand’s arrest'l have tried to raise money
on my property to engage competent law
yers to defend him, but the lawyer who
has charge of my affairs in the East re
fused to advance money for that purpose.
One lawyer here charged me S3O, and to
procure It I was obliged to part with a
sealskin sacque worth $125. I shall re
main here during the three years of my
husband’s confinement, and I trust God
that we may be once more united.”

An English Gypsy Tour.
Paris Messenger.
A remarkable party of excursionists
lately paraded through the streets of Caul
nes in the Contes-du-Nord, France.
“First came a low-back car covered
with a tarpaulin and provided with wind
curtains. A charming ‘miss’ held the
reins: while a young Englishman on
horseback, in short breeches, red shirt
and whip in hand, trotted by the side of
the horse. A second carriage followed.
It was of huge proportions, and, in out
ward appearance, like a mountebank car;
the inside, however, was more comforta
ble—a library, a wardrobe with
plate-glass door, chest of drawers
and washstand in one, beds and
sideboard, the whole of mahogany
—nothing was wanting. Last came a
vulgar cart, carrying—a long boat. They
are not gypsies traveling in this manner,
but rich English people. They are from
London, and intend visiting France in
that tournout. They thus drag their fur
nished homes with them in order not to
have the bother of putting up at hotels.
They are off' to Laval. When our tourists
are tired of riding on land they launch
their boat and ship their house on it.
The rolling home then becomes a floating
one, and they have to row—from the
windows.
Unless the breath is like a spicy gale.
Unless the teeth gleam like the driven snow,
There is no dazzling smile or tender tale.
Grateful to woman’s eye or ear, we know.
The tale would lose its charms—the smile be
gaunt.
Unless within the spell of Sozodont.
