Harrison has a majority, in the electoral
college. The figures show the election j
of David B. Hill as Governor, and of

to the ambition of David B. Hill and

CONNECTICUT.
The returns received up to midnight
from 114 towns, show a Republican gain
of 1,324 over the vote of 1884. The :
same ratio of gain in the remaining towns
will give the state to Harrison by about
450. and’ Republicans elect three congress-
men, probably four. The legislature 8 Cleve-

thirty-five towns including New Haven
and Hartford, Bridgeport, Waterbury,
Meridan, New Britain, New London
and Norwich give Harrison a gain of

gressman in the state and both houses
the legislature.
ILLINOIS.
In Southern Illinois it rained at sev¬
eral points most of the day. All repor (
so fur received, outside of Cook county,
show small Republican gains, which ii
maintained, wiil give Harrison Severn!
thousand gain over Blaine’s vote in 1884.
Palmer’s vote for governor is greater than
Cleveland’s at all points yet heard from.
If this ratio is maintained in the state,
Harrison’s plurality will be about 25,000.

railroad men generally voted for Demo¬

and finally failed to give its vote to
Cleveland. They claim that in the fu.
ture New York should be put under pro.
tection, and that future battles should be
fought on different lines. The Republi-
cans are boisterous in saying that th*
Solid South must be smashed. This
seems to be the great bugbear with the
Republicans. Chairman Hutson, the
Republican chairman, says: ‘We have
carried the state; we have got New Y O rk

NEW YOHK FOR HARRISON.
New York’s majority is about 13,000
for Gen. Harrison.

GEORGIA. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 8. 1888.
KENTUCKY.
Indications are that Fi ley, Republi¬
can, in the Uth dis r ct is el cted. Ai
other distiiets look Democratic.
LOUISIANA.
The election passed oil quietly
throughout the state. A very light vot
was p Tied. In the second Congressional
District, indications point to the election
of Coleman, Republican, by a small ma¬
jority, and Democrats in other districts.
If Coleman is elected, it will be a Re¬
publican complete, gain of one Congressman. New
Orleans except three precincts,
give Cleveland 13,824; Harrison 7,372.
In the second Congres-ional District,
El iott goes out of the city with 3,350
majority. Partial returns from parishes
now indicate the election of Elliott.
MASSACHUSETTS.
One hundred anti' fifty towns give
Harrison 47,520, Cleveland 33.785, bisk
2,048. The same towns in 1884 gave
Biaine 38,426, Cleveland 28,778, Butler
9,561, St. John 2,861.
MINNESOTA.
It was roughly estimated, at St. Paul,
that when the polls closed, 6,000 to 9,000
St. Paul voters had failed to get their
ballots in, because of the heavy registra¬
tion, and slowness of the inspectors, '
Great indignation is expressed, especially
by the Democrats, as a vote of the city
usually shows a Democratic majority.
The Republican state committee claims
state for Harrison by 2,500, Ninety-
two precincts give Harrison 12,606;
Cleveland 10,346; Fisk 901.
NEBRASKA.
Fifty-six precincts in Nebraska, out¬
side of Douglas county, gives Harrison
6,595, Cleveland 4,997. fticShane, Dem¬
ocrat, for governor, run ahead of his
ticket.
NORTH CAROLINA.
Scattering returns from various parts
of the state indicate that the state has
gone for Cleveland by about the same
majority as in 1884, about 17,000. In¬
dications are that the Democrats are
elected iu all the districts except the
first, second and fifth, from which suffi¬
cient returns have not been received to
indicate tne result.
OREGON.
Ninety-six precincts in Oregon out of
496, outside of Portland, Harrison 2,767;
Cleveland 9,926; Fisk 730. The same
pr . incts in 1884 gave Blaine 10,110;
Cleveland 9,052.

Very Novel Advertising.
A. Glover, the window trimmer at the
Excelsior, haa fitted up the large show
win tow in a novel manner. In the cen¬
tre of the window he has erected a small
frame house of rather an odd and aneieut
design. At either end of the quter lit¬
tle house a real old-fashione I rail fence
incloses a small forest. I his Btnngo
looking building and its sum nndings
are said to be fao simile representations
of the first school home ever built in
Cleveland. In 1817, when our gre t
city was only a villa e of 250 inhabi¬
tants, 25 of its citizens contribut' d to¬
ward the building of a sclioolhouse, the
amount altogether being $198.76. This
little building stood on the east side of
tbe lot now occupied by the Kennard in
s grove of oaks. The id a of e bibit ng
tbe old time mode of teaching scholars, school,
with a teitoher and some 20 is
certainly unique, aud will draw the at¬
tention of a great many people who pass
along Superior street. The little school
opens to-day at 9 o’clock, and the window hoys
aud girls will use the big show
ns u playground. A “schoolmarin” has
been engaged by the trustees to maua e
the affair, uud it is presumed she will
“board around” among the farmers an 1
