This much is practically assured, but,
of course, the results as they are now
figured out, will undergo some changes.

the streets, the crowd reaching from

‘ Arrests by the Wholesale.
In the down town districts it was as
quiet as on Sunday. The exchanges
and banks were all closed- The custom
house was open for a short time for the
entry and clearance of vessels. The
city and county courts were closed, but
the supreme court was open to dispose
^ a “^ electl< i n £ ases that might come
up. The postoffice was open for two
Hours. Instances have come to light
where deputy marshals allowed men to
vote, for whom they had warrants, and
afterwards arrested the voter. United
states Marshal Jacobus's office in the
rederal building was livelv. By -8
o clock special deputies began to arrive,
each man having in custody some citi
zen who was charged with attempting
to vote illegally.
The large apartment across the corri
dor from Mr. Jacobus’ office on the third
floor of the building, usually occupied
by the regular deputy marshal, was
used as a temporary place of detention
for arrested men. The prisoners were
taken in their turn down stairs before
United States Commissioners Shields
jmd Deuel. Lawyers by the score, who
had volunteered their services, were
promptly on hand to look after the in
terests of Democratic voters who had
been arrested either after depositing
their votes or before being permitted to
do so. As soon as Commissioners Shields
or Deuel had decided to hold any of the
arrested men bail was promptly fur
nished and the accused men released
and permitted to return home. In cases
where the alleged voter had no one to
vouch for liitn bail was not fnrnished
and the accused had to go to Ludlow
street jail.
By 10 o’clock fifty men had been
brought under arrest to the federal
building. The liveliest proceedings
took place before Commissioner Duel
where were brought twenty voters from
city institutions on Blackwell’s islands,
who had voted or attempted to vote at
polling places for the twenty-
flftnth election district, where many of
the would be voters from the charity
he-pitals and other institutions had reg
istered. A few of the arrests were those
of men employed on sti amboats or sail
ing vessels, who claimed residence in
the lodging houses down town.
At 11:45 o'clock Chairman Harrity, of
the Democratic national committee,
gave out the .ollowing statement;
“There is no doubt of the election of
Cleveland and Stevenson by popular
vote, while the defeat of Harrison is cer
tain. New York hat given a magnifi
cent plurality for Cleveland. New York
surpasses all her previous records. There
is no break in the south. The Republi
cans' claims for Delaware are unfounded.
In Connecticut the returns show a
steady advance over figures of 1888,
when we carried the state. Indiana is
undoubtedly ours. The most glorious
result appears to be in Illinois, where
from returns, it wonld seem that for the
first time in its history the state has gone
Democratic. We have most glorious
and decisive victory in the history of
campaigns.
tv hat Carter Claimed.
Chairman Carter issued the following
bulletin at midnight: “On returns re
ceived by the Republican national com
mittee at midnight, Harrison and Reid
have carried the states of California,
Maine. Massachusetts, ten cotes in Mich
igan, Ohio, Oregou.Pennsylvania, Rhode
Lsland, Vermont, Idaho, Colorado, Uli-
r.ois, Iowa, Kansas. Minnesota, Dakota,
Washington, Wyoming, Nebraska, In
diana and Delaware, or 229 electoral
votes, a majority six in the electoral
college. Onr advices at this hour also
show that we have more than an even
chance to carry West Virginia.”
Reid Loses Ills District.
Whitelaw Reid hat failed to carry the
election district his .'arm is in, which
has always gone Republican. Reid’s
district gives Cleveland and Stevenson a
plurality of four.
The South Stands Solid.
The south is solid despite the corrup
tion of the Republicans and the agita
tion of the party.
_ From Mason and Dixon's line to the
r.lo Grande every state is in line for
Democracy. West Virginia is claimed
by the Republicans, but the returns in
dicate that the claim is hopeless.
Maryland has given 10,000 majority,
Virginia 20,000, North Carolina 15,060,
South Carolina 42,000, Georgia 50,000,
Alabama 25,000, Florida 25,000. Missis
sippi 20,000, Louisiana 6,000, Texas
180,000, Arkansas 15,000, Tennessee
50,000, Kentucky 10,000, Missouri 15,000.
The People’s party may get a few
congressmen and the Republicans have
two in Tennessee, one in Mississippi and
perhans three or four more scattered
over toe other states.
From Vlrfiil* Came News
that ten counties gaVe a Democratic ma
jority of 2,000.
What was eagerly looked for was
news from np the state. The first that
came was regarded as very cheering. It
was: “Jamaica, three districts give
Cleveland 420; Harrison 807.”
At 7 o’clock word came that fifty dis
tricts gave Cleveland 7,927, Harrison
7,011. This created great joy and caused
much comment.
“It looks like a landslide in Kings,
was remarked.
“Wait awhile,” said sagacious Chair
man Harrity. “I am afraid the Repub
lican districts have to come yet.”
At 7:15 the national committee had
farther cause for satisfaction by the
statement that “eighteen districts out
side of New York city gave Cleveland
1,669, Harrison 2,782. The reason for
congratulation was that indicated by a
light vote np the state, as in 1888, the
figures were Cleveland 1,813, Harrison
8,068. - . ..
“We will have 25.000 majority in
Kings county,” said Chairman Harrity
at 7:80. ,
News that Livingston connty showed
a Republican loss of 800 was received
with an exclamation of surprise.
“The state is ours, for sure, and we
will have over 100,000 to bridge,” Was
what the committee proclaimed.
The famous sergeant-at-arms, Jimmie
Oliver of paradise park, created a furor
during the early part of the evening nv
bursting into the committee room and
exclaiming: “Gentlemen, down where
I live, the fortieth election district of
the second assembly district, gives
Cleveland 388 and Harrison 4 votes, and
where those 4 votes came from I don t

Returns now show the. following re
sult in the vote for congressmen in New
York state: Democrats elected, 21:
Republicans, 13; Bemocratic loss, 2.
The slight setback was offset by the
n< ? t \ news ’ °i Queen’s county,
which gave a Democratic plurality 900
more than in 1888. • 3
_ A slight surprise was expressed at the
first tidings from Buffalo, Lieutenant
Governor Sheehan’s home, 40 districts
out of 118 giving Cleveland 7,782, Har
rison 8,719. ’
This gain was more than counter bal
anced by the word that Chatauqua
connty gave Harrison only 5,500 major
ity, a falling off of 530 since 1888.
There was considerable cheering when
announced that Weaver had carried
Oregon, and there was more cheering
still when a telegram was read that the
state of Washington probably went for
Cleveland. That was rapidly followed
by returns from 890 city election dis
tricts, showing a Democratic majority
of 58,588. which created great excite
ment. Returns from the interior of the
state came pouring in, showing a Re-
publican loss in nearly every case.
Chairman Harrity was overwhelmed
with congratulations but he would not
commit himself.
“It looks very much like the Repub
licans are slaughtered,” he said, but it
is too early in the game yet to shont.
Indiana’s Increase.
Indianapolis, Nov. 9.—The Demo
cratic state committee claims the state
by 5.000 majority. The returns have
been slow coming in, bnt enough has
been heard to mako it practically cer
tain that Cleveland gets the state by a
small majority. Reports from every
county in Indiana indicate ninety-three
per cent, of the total vote was cast
at 6 o’clock. When the polls closed
Chairman Laggert, of the Democratic
state committee received dispatches
from all the connty chairmen. Out of
ninety-three counties seventy-three re
ported on the prospect for Democratic
gains over 1888. The weather was clear
and cold, which insured a heavy coun
try vote. It- was too cold to husk corn,
and the farmers turned out.
Indiana's Majority.
Governor Gray, who has been conser
vative throughout, places the Demo
cratic plurality in Indiana at from 10,-
000 to 12,000. Chairman Taggert says
it is over 10,000.
Now York’s City Government.
New York, Nov. 9.—This Demo
cratic city can be more than satisfied
with Democratic home role and Tam
many has elected her entire city and
connty ticket.
Gilroy, candidate for mayor, received
the unprecedented plurality of 73,861,
and thirty Democratic assemblymen are
elected, all Tammany Democrats, with
one exception, and be is a Democrat.
The thirty members of the board of al
dermen are all Tammanyites. From
stem to stern, it is a prouder feather in
TBimuanv’s' hat than its most earnest
vindicators ever dreamed of.
News from Now Jersey.
Trenton, Nov. 9.—A heavy vote
was polled in New Jersey. Cleveland
has carried the state by more than 3,000
majority, and the Democrats elect the
governor. A report from Jersey City
says: Indications are that the state
goes for Cleveland between 10,000 and
12.000. Werts, Democrat, candidate
for governor, running very close to
Cleveland. Camden connty has been
carried by Democrats. It went 2,593
for Harrison in 1888. Hudson comity
will go Democratic by about S,000, usual
majority.
Congratulating Cleveland.
New York, Nov. 9.—Mr. Cleveland
about midnight began receiving con
gratulations from friends in the city.
Most of the members of the campaign
committee sent him dispatches asking
him of his election. Messrs. Whitney,
Harrity and Dickinson all sent their
congratulations. Mr. Dickintm called
on Mr. Cleveland at 1:30 o’clock this
morning and personally tendered his
congratulations.
Missouri Solid for Two Years.
St. Louis, Nov. 9.—The Globe-
Democrat, Republican, says the Demo
crats will be in undisputed control of all
branches of the government for the first
half of Cleveland’s new term at least
They will thns be entirely responsible
for all the legislation of the two years
beginning with inarch, 1893, ana the
people will be able to hold them to a
rigid accountability for the management
of its affairs.
A Fight in Georgia.
Jonesboro, Nov. 9.—A most dis
graceful occurrence marred the peace
ful serenity of Clayton’s election, and it
was dne to the bulldozing methods of a
few drunken men. A fuss arose out
side of the Court house, where the vo
ting was being done, and Sheriff Hutch
inson, who was indoors, went out to
quiet the riot. .
Instead of listening to the officer s ap
peal for peace and quiet, the mob at
tacked him and brought on a general
fight.
Captain J. O. Hightower, one of
Jonesboro’s most esteemed and influen
tial citizens, went to the aid of Sheriff
Hutchinson, in trying to get the mob to
qniet themselves and not to participate
to a fight, which might result seriously
for some one. They heeded nothing,
and brought on a most desperate fight,
in which the sheriff was given a terri
ble blow over the head with a stick in
the bands of some People’s partyite, and
Captain Hightower’s right jaw was
frightfully gashed by a knife in the
hands of another. Several of the attack
ing mob were also considerably shaken
np during the fight.
Florida Give# 35,000 Majority.
Pensacola, Fla., Nov. 9.-—The
weather was good and the vote was
light in western Florida, bnt was prac
tically unanimous for Cleveland. Mal
lory, for re-election to congress, had no
opposition. Pensacola gives Cleveland
2 <XK) majority. Weaver received only
ten votes. There was. no republican
ticket in the field. The Cleveland elec
tors all go in with a rousing majority of
from 25*000 to 26,000.

The race between the Weaver and Har
rison electors will be very close. The
Republican state ticket has been elected
and Jerry Simpson has been defeated by
Long. Republican, in the 7th district.
THE RETURNS MAKES CLEVE
LAND'S ELECTION CERTAIN.
THE REPUBLICAN SLUMP
Leaves Harrison With Only One
■Hundred and Fifty-One Electoral
Votes—The House Is Democratic
And Probably the Senate-
The Democrats of the Union can rest
assured that Cleveland and Stevenson
have been elected.
And that with the blissful consolation
that Cleveland has defeated Harrison
by a far more decisive electoral vote
than that by which Harrison won in
1888.
The news of Clev»land’a election as
received Tuesday night at the Banner
office was too goud to believe, an 1 while
the telegrams plainly conveyed this
message, still the crowd wished to be
absolutely certain
An 1 yesterday morning the news was
plentiful to confirm ail the news of the
night proceeding and to add otaer
electoral votes to the Democratic
column. .
Indeed the victory is beyond all ex
peotations, a regular ground swell for
Democracy, the total extent of which is
not abso’u'Ksly known even now. I.
may even go beyond the figures now
claimed by the National Dem< Grade
Committee.
The Republican slump has been suf
ficient to demonstrate the fact that the
platformcf the Republican party is not
such as the people of a free country can
stand.
The Telegrams Yesterday.
The tel* gram, up to six o'clock yes
terday afternoon were as follows:
Chicago, HI., Nov. 9.—The Chicago

votes, Harrison 135, Weaver 32.
Neruda Conceded.
Reno, Nov. 9.—It is conceded by all
party managers that Weaver electors
have chosen in Nevada by 1,500
plural'ey. Newland, silver party nom
inee, i : elected to congress. The legis
lature is in doubt, bnt it is believed that
the silver party will control it and re
elect Stewart to the senate.
Weaver Win. Wyoming.
Laramie, Nov. 9.—The Republican
state committee concedes the election of
Weaver electors and a Democratic state
ticket. The fnsionists have probably
carried the legislature, which will re
sult in the defeat of Senator Warren.
On. Vote Tor Wearer In Minnesota.
St. Paul, Nov. 9 —James Bixbey,
secretary of the state committee, says:
“Five Republican electors will be chosen
by pluralities of 15,000 to 18,000. Nel-
soiUs elected governor by a plurality of
Xortli Dakota Republican.
Bismarck, Nov. 9.—It is utterly
impos ible to give accurate figures on
North Dakota, bnt the national, con
gressional and state legislature ticket
will he Republican by a small majority.
Iowa for Harrison.
Des Moines, Nov. 9.—Returns have
been coming in Blowly. Democratic
paper leaders concede Harrison’s plural
ity by 8,000 unless later returns show a
change, which is unlikely.
Sonth Dakota for Wearer.
Pieiire, Nov. 9.—Weaver electors
have iieen chosen, hut the Republican
congressmen and the state ticket are
successful. a
Montana for Harrison.
Helena, Nov. 9.—The Republican
state committee claim the entire state
ticket, national ticket and congressman.
The Old North State.
Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 9.—The elec
tion passed eff quietly in this state.
The weather was misty bnt not disa
greeable. A full Democratic vote was
polled, while the Republicans and Peo
ple’s party cast a lighter vote than waa
expected.
Cleveland has carried the state by an
increased vote over 1888. Mecklenburg
county, which then gave him 958. will
this year give him 2,000. The reports
from adjoining counties indicate Demo
cratic gains. The negro vote split, the
bulk going to the Republicans and the
balance to the Democratic party, catting
no figures at all in this section of the
state.
Alabama Goes Democratic,
Montgomery, Nov. 9.—The weather
was generally bad throughout this
state. Alabama has gone Democratic.
Oates is re-elected to congress. One
fatal shooting occurred here.
The citizens of this state voted for
presidential electors and nine congr ;s-
men.
Reports from all over the state indi
cate a falling off in the fusion vote. A
few arrests, all negroes, have been made
here for illegal voting.
A JUBILEE IN GEORGIA.
Will
The Vote of Illinois.
Chicago, Nov. 9.—The returns from
Illinois are still incomplete, but the in
dications point to Cleveland by a plu
rality of 8,000 to 10.000.
Tho entire Democratic state ticket is
also elected and the Democrats have a
majority of the congressional delegation
and have apparently gained control of
branches of the legislature.
The Republicans, while generally
conceding the state to Cleveland ana
the Democratic state ticket still insist
that there is a possibility for Republi
can supremacy in the lower boose of the
general assembly.
The Democratic victory in Illinois is
apparently dne to two causes—the per
fect organization of the state by Chair
man Cable and his colleagues of the
Democratic national campaign com
mittee and the geueral defection of the
German-Lu theran voters in the Repub
lican party.
They have, to a great extent, sup
ported not only Altgeld bnt Cleveland
and Stevenson ana the entire Demo
cratic state ticket.
This strong indorsement of Democratic
candidates is probably dne to the recent
action of the Lutheran leaders in recom-
.uending that the German Lutherans
support the entire Democratic ticket to
the end that Democratic control of the
legislature might be excused and the re
peal of the compnl8ory school law there
by assured.
There is no doubt of the election of
the two Democratic candidates for con-
en at large, John C. Black and
Inn ter.
How It Stands In Connecticut.
Hartford, Nov. 9.—The vote in this
state, with one town missing, gives
Cleveland, 83,408; Harrison. 76,989;
Weaver, 3,994; scattering, 1,005. Cleve
land’s plurality, 5,417. Four years ago j
it was 336. The entire Democratic ticket ;
is probably elected. The vote on gov- 1
eruor being: Morris, Democrat, 82,269; 1
Republicans, 76,402; Angier, Prohibi- *
tionist, 3,549; scattering, 118, making a 1
majority for.Morria as required by the
constitution. The state senate is a tie,
and the Republicans have about twenty
majority in the house. The secceasor to
Hawley is involved.
Tennessee Gives BS.vOO Plurality.
Nashville, Nov. 9.—Cleveland car
ries Tennessee by 65,000 plurality and
Turney is elected governor by 50,000.
Buchanan, the People’s party candidate,
polled only 20,000 votes. The Demo
cratic vote was full, bnt the Republican
and People’s party failed to come ont.
The legislature will be Democratic and
the congressional delegation is now | prio:
eight Democrats and two Republicans. . Jaw.
Sackless Jerry Defeated.
Topeka, Kim., Nov. 9^—Meagre re-
Next Wednesday the Democrats

man of the committee, will issue invi
tations to prominent speakers through
out the state.

will be 75,000 people in line.
Next Wednesday is the second day of
the carnival, and thousands of visitors
will bo in the city. Thousands of

the railroads and come to the CleVel

Wisconsin for Cleveland.
Milwaukee, Nov. 9.—The Demo
crats have carried Wisconsin. This is
cance led by Payne, the Wisconsin mem
ber of the Republican national commit
tee, aad John C. Spooner, Republican
gubernatorial candidate.
They admit the defeat of the party
and say it is due to the Lutheran vote,
hbout one-half of the Lntherans of the
state deserting the party because of the
school issue.
The Democratic leaders claim the
state by 15,000.
Wisconsin Congressmen Divided.
Milwaukee, Nov. 9.—The Wiscon
sin congressional delegation is probably
equally divided, the Republicans elect
ing five congressmen and the Democrats
five, a gaiii of four congressman for the
Republicans, and a loss of three for the
Democrats.
The Democrats claim that with their
fifteen hold-over senators there is no
donbt of their controlling the legisla
ture, insuring a Democratic successor to
Senator Sawyer.
The Day at the CapitaL
Washington City, Nov. 9.—The day
was probably the quietest of any place
of large raze in the United States. The
streets were freer of people than usual,
although it was a fine autumn day.
Probably more than 10,000 men have
left the city to visit their homes and
vote. The public departments were
opened as usual, but only the largest
routine business was transacted. With
few exceptions all the government offi
cers of high grade were out of the city.
Nearly all the clerks living iq closely
contested states or in congressional dis
tricts that may be reckoned doubtful,
had also gone home to vote. In addition
to the government employes, several
thou-ana men engaged in private occu
pations here went to their place of vot
ing residence to aid in the. campaign.
Those persons remaining in the city dis
played an interest in the result but it
was of a subdued character and void of
nervons anxiety, which was so marked
' >r to the passage of the civil service
.w.
The President
remained in his apartments at the White
House, where he received intelligence
of the way the voting was progressing
by means of dispatches from the Asso
ciated Press, from political friends and
from other sonrees. The only cabinet
officers in town were Secretary John W.
Foster, of the state department, and At
torney Genera] Miiler. each of whom
had arranged pairs with Democrats in
their stales, so that their absence would
not affect the result. Each was at his
department early in the morning, at
tending to public business.
Wisconsin Beyond a Doubt-
C licago, Ills., 11 ;30 p m.—Wisconsin

It Stands by the South-Hater Weaver.
Below we give the vote of Oconee:
W* aver, 439; Cleveland, 316; Harri
son, 189; Robbins, 510; Lawson, 421.
Tbeab* ve is the i ffic al vote if Farm

but it is thought that district will be
thrown out on account of the failure to
bring in the returns by twelve o’clock.
The Democrats made a long, bard

down fighting, however, and areas
true and game a lot of fellows as live in
Georgia.

“They tell me you work for a dollar a day.
How la it you clothe your six boys on such
peyr
“I know you will think It conceited and queer,
Bnt I do it because I’m a good financier.
“There’s Pete, John, Jim and Joe, and Wil
liam and Ned—
A half dozen boys to be clothed op and fed—
“And 1 hay tor them good, plain victuals to
eat;
But clothing—I only boy clothing for Pete.
“When Pete’s clothes ore too small for him to
get on
My wife makes 'em over and gives ’em to John.
“When for John, who is ten, they have growu
out of date.
She just makes ’em over for Jim. who Is eight.
“When for Jim thsey become too ragged to fix
She Just makes ’em over for Joe, who is six.
“And when little Joseph can wear ’em no
more
She Jast makes ’em over for Bill, who la four.
“And when for young BiU they no longer wilt
do
She Just mokes ’em over for Ned, who la two.
“80 you see, if I get enough clothing for Pete,
The family is fnrnished with clothing com
plete."
“Bnt when Ned has got through with the cloth
ing, and when
He has thrown it aside, what do yon do with
it then?"
“Why, once more W6 go roand the circle com
plete
And begin to use it for patches for Pete.”
