GEORGIA CONGRESSMEN SOLID, H>« Hottest Fight Doing in the Tenth, Where lilitck Defeated Watson, the People's Party Leader. New Yojik, Nov. 8.—The nation lias t!<uio Democratic. This much is practically assured, but, of course, the results as they are now figured out, will undergo some changes. The Democratic national committee huil clalx.rate arrangements for receiv ing the returns at the headquarters. ( "iiimitieeman Smalley’s room, on the thinl Himir, was utilized as a telegraph ofliee. Six wires were run in and as many operators were used. A big sheet was hung outside the window, on which the returns were thrown. The front doors. were closed ami no one allowed in except by the rear and with tickets. Chairman Har rity. ex-Secretary Whitney, Secretary Sht-riii and Committeeman Smalley itatIn-rod in the telegraph room and anmse.l themselves telling stories during lwerish waits for tidings. The wires Ix-tran to tick at 6:30 o’clock. The first Di-tvs was that seventy-two election dis tricts in New York city, out of 1,137, jravi- Cleveland 9,730, Harrison 6,622. Viien the returns began to pour in. They indicated first that in the same ratio '’ ■ v.-land’s majority would be about 6e.lM.KI. I hen the Democratic majority ran *101111 steadily at alxmt one-fifth of the viitn-e vote, indicating a vote of about 'he same as the last election, when it P* "P to 390 election districts, giving lCW ,a,m 55.407 and Harrison 81,158.

It was al most impossible to get through some of the streets, the crowd reaching from tyall to wall, and intercepting all travel. ‘ 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 ^Jitomie’s announcement was heartily Cll Much amusement was caused by the returns from Gravesend, where John Y.

That is on account Flower’s stand in the Fire given! matter ’ was the explanation New York Congressmen. 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. Many old soldiers, who contracted chronic diarrhea! while In the service, have since been permanently cored of it by Chamberlain’s Colio Cholera and Di&rrico!. Remedy. For sale by John Lrawford & Co. STILL BRIGHTER. f turns', in addition to those already re- | f ceived, still leave the state indoubt. 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 Iribuae, Republican paper, concedes this State to the National Democratic ticket. Wisconsin probably Demo cratic. Chicago, 111—3:30 p m. 487 pre cincts outside Cook county Harrison 95,744, Cleveland 87,179.

New York, Nov. 9.—Returns from various states indicate that Cleveland has carrried Illinois with Indiana in doubt. l’ro3er t figures give Cleveland 2 il electorial vttea and Harrison 161.

New York 6, p. m.—New York after noon papers give Cleveland 277 electors 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 Have a Grand Hally. Atlanta, Nov. 9.—Next Wednesday night. Nov. 10, there will be the grand est D "uocratic ratification and jubilee ever held in Atlanta. .The Democracy of the state will be here us the guests of the Democracy of Fnlton county. Fniton county will entertain the Dem ocrats from every part of the empire state. Tli^ Democratic executive committee of Fulton county will conduct the rati fication. Mr. Morris Brandon, chair man of the committee, will issue invi tations to prominent speakers through out the state. Arrangements will be made to have a grand torclight procession, and there 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 can take advantage of the cheap fa the railroads and come to the CleVel jubilee. 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 is Democratic. Chairman Wall says Cleveland and Peck are elected by about 13.000. Returns ate incomplete but will not make any material differ ence. St. Paul, 11:45 p m.—313 precincts in state including 97 in Sb Paul and 100 In Minneapolis give Harrison 32,219, Cleveland 30,428. Raleigh, N. C., 11:30 p m.—Cingres- sional returns are now so far complete as to show positively that democrats have elected congressmen in all districts save the fifth. Poitlatd, Oregon, 1:00 a m.—226 prr- eints out of 625 give Harrison 20,778, Cleveland 8,164, Weaver 16,992. Chicago, Illinois, 1:00 a m.—1097 pre- cinots Altgeld 198,326, Fiefer 158,244. OlONEB COUNTY. 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 ington district is allowed to come in, 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 pull but couldn’t get there. They went down fighting, however, and areas true and game a lot of fellows as live in Georgia. JACKSON COUNTY ALL RIGHT. Goes Democratic About One Hundred Harmony Grove, Nov. 9.—Jackson county is all right. Cleveland and Tate carried it by about one hundred majority. Harmony Grot e precin t gave Cleveland 319 majority, and Maya- j ville district 124. Ihiee cheers for Cleveland, Stevenson, Tate atd Baby Ruth. ECZEMA 3 LONG YEARS Tried Many Remedies.
