AND STEVENSON.
THE COUNTRY GOES FOR
DEMOCRACY ONCE MORE.
New York in the Democratic Ranks.
Illinois Claimed.
THE SOUTH STILL SOLID.
The Scenes That Were Enacted at
Democratic Headquarters.
ARRESTS m NEW YORK.
Chairman Harrity Was Satisfied Ear
ly in the Evening, While Chair
man Carter, of the Republi
can Committee, Ap
peared Equally as
Confident
New York, Nov. 9. —Election day
dawned cloudy and the prophecy of
the weather bureau that there would ha
rain seemed assured. During the night
■
it bad rained at intervale, but at 6 o'clock,
when the polls were opened, the rain
had temporarily at all events cease-1.
Heavy clonds hung over the city, but
every now and then the sunlight would
burst through them. About 7 o'clock
patches of clear blue sky appeared over
head and an hour later the sun was
•hining brightly and the air was mild
and balmy. A soft wind blew from the
the south-west and seemed to carry the
clouds away witlrit.
Governor Flower came down from
Albany for the purpose of voting. He
•aid:
“I am still confident Cleveland's plu
rality in this state will be 60,000. I
subtract from that plurality any differ
ence between the Democratic plurality
ip New York and Kings less than 100,-
000. lam depending on the estimates
of the leaders down here that New York
will have 75,000, and Kings and other
lower counties 25,000 plurality for Cleve
land.
“The Republicans will have 60,000 or
65,000 plurality in the country, and not
any more.”
“By what majority do you think the
Democrats will have the legislature?”
“Six or seven majority on joint ballot
—Good working majority.”
Flower spoke most warmly of Senator
Hill’s work for Cleveland.
The national committee are in receipt
of telegrams from all over the country.
W. A. Anderson, a leading Democrat
of 'Wisconsin, says that the electoral
vote of that state is safe for Cleveland.
Dispatches from Connecticut indicate
that the nutmeg state is Democratic.
By noon two-thirds of the vote of New
York city was polled.
Davenport and his heelers offered no
opposition. Tammanys police were
more potent than they.
The southern society has done noble
work.
At 12 o’clock tonight New York is wild.
Tens of thousands of men are marching
the streets, shouting for Cleveland until
they are hoarse. The scene beggars
description. Its like has not been seen
since 1884.
The excitement all day long has been
intense. It became apparent early in
the day that an unexpected heavy vote
would be polled, and as the voting went
on the estimates were increased. The
fact that the Cleveland vote in New
York city and Kings county was heavy
became evident before noon, and the
Republican vote in the country was
pushed for all it was worth to offset it.
But losses at critical points held it
down, and as the time for the polls to
close came on, it was evident that the
majority for Cleveland was overwhelm
ing. This impression received- fresh
confirmation from every despatch, and
the crowds in front of -the bulletins
surged and swayed from frenzy as the
result began to become known.
When it was finally realized that
Cleveland Had Carried the State
like a cyclone New York was treated to
such a manifestation as is seldom wit
nessed, even in this city of demonstra
tion. In front of the Herald office and
all the large newspaper offices vast
throngs of men crowded until standing
space could hardly bo had and passage
became impossible.
At Twenty-third street and Broadway,
where the Herald bulletins were being
displayed, 100,000 men were cheering
for Cleveland with might and main. As
fresh bulletins received every instant
confirmed the Herald's predictions of
the Democratic majority the crowd
went wild with excitement, and nothing
Could he seen but a living mass of hu
manity, swaying and shouting. The
scene was hut a duplicate of that in
front of the bulletins at the national
headquarters and the other newspaper
offices.
At Mr. Ctavrlaml’* Home,
the ex-president sat with the officers of
the national committee, receiving the
returns. Every return was carefully
recorded and balanced, and compared
with the returns of four years ago.
When the vote of New York was prac
tically settled,' the other states were
taken up, and not until the result be
came a certainty did they give way to
any demonstrations. Mr. Cleveland was
confident throughout, hut did not cease
carefully counting each bulletin return
until the result was no longer in doubt.
At the Democratic headquarters the
crowd was so dense as to almost crowd
out the workers. The throngs pressed
up the stairway and into the rooms until
the workers in the headquarters had
scarcely elbow room to work in. Tele
grams poured in from every state in the
Union in floods, asking for information
and in congratulation until it became
absolutely impossible to even answer
them.
At a late hour in the night the excite
ment had not abated a whit, and throngs
iif men kept marching up and down,
waving flags, blowing horns and shout
ing with might and main. It was al
most impossible to get through some of
the streets, the crowd reaching from
wall to wall, and intercepting all travel.
ArrontM by tl»« AVholoaale.
In the down town districts it was as
quiet as on Sunday. The exchanges
and hanks were all closed - The custom
house was open for a short time for ttie
entry and clearance of vessels. The
city and county courts were closed, but
the supreme court was ojien to dispose
of any election cases that might come
up. The postoflice 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
Federal building was lively. By 8
o’clock special depnties began to arrive,
each man haring in custody some citi
zen who was charged with attempting
to vote illegally.
The large apartment across the corri
dor from Mr. Ja.-A.us' office on the third
floor of the building, usually occupied
by the regular deputy marshal, was
used as a temporary place of detention
i for arrested men. The prisoners were
taken in their turn down stairs before
United States Commissioners Shields
and Deuel. Lawyers by the score, who
had volunteered th.-ir services, were
promptly on hand to look after the in
terests of Democratic voters who had
been arrested either after dejiositing
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 him bail was not furnished
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
ninth election district, where many of
the would he voters from the charity
hospitals and other institutions had reg
istered. A few of the arrests were those
of men employed on stta üboats or sail
ing vessels, who claimed residence in
the lodging houses down town.
At 11:45 o’clock Chairman Harrity, of
the Demix-ratic national committee,
gave out the following 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 has given a magnifi
cent plurality for Cleveland. New York
surpasses all her previous records. There
is no break iu 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 would seem that for the
first time in its history the state has gone
Democratic. We have most glorious
and decisive victory iu the history of
campaigns.
What 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, Oregon. Pennsylvania. Rhode
Island. Vermont. Idaho, Colorado, Illi
nois. lowa. Kansas. Minnesota, Dakota,
Washington. Wyoming, Nebraska. In
diana and Delaware, or 229 electoral
votes, a majority six in the electoral
college. Our advices at this hour also
show that we have more than an even
chance to carry West Virginia.”
An Kiioriuou* Majority.
Ketnrns are in with hut a few districts
lacking. (Teveland Carried New York
county by 73,000; Kings by 28,987;
Queens by 3,000.
The Democrats have carried the state
by 38,318 majority.
The Total in New York.
The total vote for president in New
New York citv is: Cleveland, 168,920;
Harrison, 95,761; Weaver, 2,061; Wing,
6,189; Biilwell, 1.936.
Twenty-eight election districts are
missing out of 1,137.
Kol(1 I.ohch If In l>i*trict.
Whitelaw Reid hat failed to carry the
election district his farm is in, which
lias always gone Republican. Reid’s
district gives Cleveland and Stevenson a
plurality of four.
The South Stand* 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
Rio Grande every state is in line for
Democracy. West Virginia is claimed
by the Republicans, hut the returns in
dicate that the claim is hopeless.
Maryland has given 10,000 majority,
Virginia 20,000, North Carolina 15,000,
South Carolina 42,000, Georgia 50,000,
Alabama 25,000, Florida 25,000, Missis

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
perhaps three or four more scattered
liver the other states.
The Martthal* in Maryland.
Baltimore, Nov. 9. —Grover Cleve
land gets eight electoral votes from Ma
ryland. The Republicans have proba
bly carried one congressional district,
which is always their’s.
More delightful weather for an elec
tion day could not well have been ar
ranged. .■■»*
Maryland voted for presidential elec
tors and six congressmen.
Deputy United States Marshal Will
iam W. Roberts, with two negro deputy
marshals, appeared at the polling place
of the first precinct of the fifth ward.
William B. JacKson took exception to
their presence and was arrested, charged
with assaulting a United States officer
in the discharge of his duty. James
Bond, clerk of the superior court, asked
the deputy marshal why he was jerking
the man around aud a colored deputy
immediately told Bond that he was go
ing to arTrs; him fur intimidation. Bond
denied intimi ia'. - . a and declined to sub
mit to arrest by a negnx
A white man standing near was or
dered to arrest Mr Bond, who submit
ted: The deputy marshal also arrested
Sam Eiselman f r intimidation and
Thomas J. More? for assault.
Indiana’* Increase.
IxdiasaPoLlS, Nov. 9. —The Demo
cratic state committee claims the state
by 5,000 majority. The returns have
been slow coming in, but enough has
been heard to make 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 [Kills closed
Chairman Laggert, of the Democratic
state committee received dispatches
1 from all the county chairmen. Out of
j ninety-three counties seventy-three re-
I ported on the prospect for Democratic
gains over 1888. The weather was clear
and cold, which insured a heavy coun
i try vote. It was too cold to husk corn,
and the farmers turned out.
Indiana’* Majority.
| Governor Gray, who has been conser
vative throughout, [daces the Demo
cratic plurality in Indiana at from 10,-
000 to 12,000. Chairman Taggert says
j it is over 10,000.
Neivti 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. Werte, Democrat, candidate
for governor, running very close to
Cleveland. Camden county has been
carried by Democrats. It went 2,592
for Harrison in 1888. Hudson county
will go Democratic by about 8,000, 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 ihoir
congratulations. Mr. Dickinson called
on Mr. Cleveland at 1:30 o’clock this
morning and personally tendered his
congratulations.
Ohio for Harrison.
Cincinnati. Nov. 9.—lt is needless
to say that Ohio has gone Republican.
Harrison gets the state by 30,000. The
Democrats claim ten more congressmen,
but will probably, have to bo satisfied
with seven or eight.
GEORGIA'S RECORD.
The State (lives a Handsome Democratic
Majority—lllack'M Victory.
Atlanta, Nov. 3. —Front the latest re
turns received, Georgia has rolled up a
handsome majority for the Demcratic
party, and while Cleveland’s majority
will be nothing like Governor Northen’s
recent vote, it wlil approximate 50, 00.
Every congressional district sends a
h Democrat, and the People's party suf
fers defeat.
The Greatest Interest
Was centered in the Tenth, where Black
and Watson were engaged in a death
struggle.
Augusta was the point of interest to
the regulars, under Black, for it was
conceded that to beat the People’s party
candidate, Richmond oounty must fur
nish the majority. This she did, coming
in with a majority of 8.801 for Black.
The majorities' in the tenth ars as
follows: For Watson, Glasscock, 294;
Lincoln, 618; Columbia, 801, McDuffie,
639; Taliaferro, 425; Warren. 675; Wash
ington, 550; Jefferson, 469—4,471.
Major Black's majorities were: Han
cock, 1,000; Wilkinson, 68; Richmond,
8,801—9.869.
Black’s jnajority in the district, 5,398.
In the Ninth.
Another district which gave some un
easiness to the Democrats, on account
of the People’s party demonstrations
was the old ninth, where Emory Speer,
independent, heat the regular Demo
cratic nominee and represented the dis
trict thred- terms in congress.
It was thought by some that the old
independent element would show a
strength in the new party strong enough
to jeopardize the interests of the regu
lars, and perhaps beat Carter Tate.
The results show that there was little
grounds for the fears, according to the
following report:
Tate gets the following majorities:
Gilmer, 500; Pickens, 128; Rabun, 300;
Habersham, 1,000; Gwinnett, 500; Hall,
800; Milton, 293; White, 40; Towns,
225; Jackson, 400; Banks, 100; giving
him a total of 4,286.
Pickett carries Cherokee by 75 and
Forsyth by 150.
Thus it went in the two most exciting
districts.
From the Fourth.
Charley Moses goes back to congress
from the fourth district in a walk.
It was like sliding down a toboggan
ulide. It was as easy as falling off a log.
The Democrats were opposed by the
combined efforts of Republicans and
People's partyit.es, hut they were de
termined to whip the fight. The coun
ties in this district all (lid their full
duty.
m Another District
Which caused some anxiety to the regu
lars was the Seventh, Felton’s old
stronghold. Judge John W. Maddox,
Democrat, was opposed by John Sibley,
People’s party. Maddox's majority will
he about 670'00.
Charles F. Crisp.
The Third district re-elects Mr. Crisp
by a majority amounting to a walkover,
over the People’s party candidate, Col-
Wimberly.
A Kicht in tieorifla.
Jonesboro, Nov. 9.—A most dis
graceful occurrence marred the peace
ful serenity of Clayton’s election, and it
was due 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 piywe and quiet, the moil at
tacked him anil 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
quiet themselves and not to participate
in 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 hands 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
up during the fight.
Florida Give* 85,000 Majority.
Pensacola, Fla., Nov. 9.—The
weather was good and the vote was
light in western Florida, hut was prac
tically unanimous for Cleveland. Mal
lory, for re-election to congress* had no
opposition. Pensacola gives Cleveland
2,000 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 Old North State.
Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 9.—The elec
tion passed off quietly in this state.
The weather was misty but not disa
greeable. A full Democratic vote was
polled, while the Republicans and Peo
ple's party cast a lighter vote than was
expected.
Cleveland has carried the state by an
increased vote over 1888. Mecklenburg
county, which then gave linn 953, 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 Demix-ratic party, cutting
no figures at all in this section of the
state.
Alabama Goes Demoeratie.
Montgomery, Nov. 9.—The weather
was generally bad throughout this
state. Alabama hits gone Democratic.
Oates is re-elected to congress. One
fatal shooting occurred here.
The citizens of this state voted for
presidential electors and nine congress
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.

the elections you should remember that
the People’s party is a newfactor, which
may cut quite a figure in the west and

The Fifty-third Congress.
The congressional elections are second
only in importance to the choice of a
president. Realizing this fact, the con
gressional campaign committees in
Washington have conducted a very vig
orous canvass, and at this writing both
Democrats and Republicans claim to be
confident of a majority in the next house
of representatives. Owing to Peoples
party complications, however, it is im
possible for an impartial observer to
predict the result.
The senate is now composed of 47 Re
publicans, 39 Democrats and 3 Farmers’
Alliance men. The latter are Kyle, of
South Dakota, and Peffer, of Kansas.
Thus the Republicans have 6 majority.
Should the Democrats hold the senators
they now have, and elect 3 additional,
the senate will be equally divided, and
the vice president will have the decisive
vote.
Twenty-nine senators are to be chosen
by the legislatures elected today. Of
these 11 are now Democrats and 18 Re
publicans.
