NEW YORK.
New York, Nov. 7.—New York gives
Cleveland 55,000 majority, and Brook
lyn adds 12,000, which, with Queens
and Kings counties’ majorities, gives
Cleveland not more than 70,000 south
of the Harlem. Blaine came to the Har-
vote of the two Democratic leaders—
State and National. Why was it? In
the first place, some say that Hill’s lead
is due to the united support he received
from the.liquor element without respect
to party, and the Republicans of which
went to Harrison.
“In the second place, others say that
the tariff did the work for the Demo
cratic Presidential ticket. This is the
general belief in New York this morn
ing. To-night at 12 o’clock I talked
with Senator Arthur Gorman, when
everything was smiles for the Democ
racy; the Republicans were depressed
and the Democrats joyful. The distin
guished Marylander has had more to do
with the direction of the Democratic
canvass than .ny one else, with the ex
exception of Mr. Brice, of whom he was
the mainstay. He has worked nobly
and has at all times proved himself a
gallant champion of his party. He said
to me to-night, while feeling confident
of Democratic success: ‘We lost 20.000
votes in New York city on account of the
tariff question, and lost heavily through
out the State from the same cause. We
would have had no.serious contest with
out such an issue, and as it is we have
had to fight our way inch by inch. If
half of the 20,000 votes had remained
true to the Democracy the result would
not have been in doubt for the Democ
racy.’
“Hill’s majority will probably exceed
20,500, an 2 his heavy lead is a sad com
mentary on mugwump influence. He
runs 14,000 ahead of Cleveland in the
city, and herein lies the cause of all the
trouble, if trouble there be. The local
Democratic contest had a bad effect on
the national ticket, as is shown in the
vote, and while there was no trading by
either Tammany or the County Democ
racy as an organization, there is no
doubt that there was considerable trad
ing among their candidates. Tammany
swept the field and scores one of the
most signal victories of its history, elect
ing Hugh Grant mayor and its full city
and county ticket. The city sends a
full Democratic delegation to Congress.
“At 3 o’clock this morning it looks as
if Harrison will overcome Cleveland’s
majority south of Harlem.”
New York, Nov. 7.— Cleveland runs
lem with 62,000 majority. Garfield had | ahead of Harrison nearly 12,000 votes
74,000. If Harrison does not do better } u Kings county, against nearly 15,000
But the South, which is an empire in
itself, is yet solidand unterrified !
than Blaine, lie loses; if he does as well
as Garfield he wins. He has made
strong and unexpected gains in some
portions of the State, but in others he
has fallen behind, and for this reason
it is hard to estimate the result in the
counties not yet heard from. It will
take a close count to decide the ques
tion, and the Republicans will struggle
to the end. The Republican committee
is openly claiming the State.
The plurality for Cleveland below the
Harlem river, instead of the SO,000 or
85,000 confidently expected by Demo
crats, appears to be only about 70,000.
Outside of New York and Kings coun
ties the Republican gains have thus far
been steadily increasing with each ad
ditional report from election districts.
The proportion of these gains at the
hour of writing is such that if contin
ued throughout the State they would
insure the victory for Harrison and
Morton electors by a handsome plural
ity.
In NewYork and Kings counties the
plurality for Cleveland, with Kings
complete and New York nearly com
plete, appears to be not more than 67.-
S00, and four years ago the plurality
against Mr. Blaine in those counties
was 58,793. The Democratic gains in
these counties is, therefore, only about
9,000, but Republican gains of 5,482 have
been reported at the hour of writing, in
precincts embracing about one-fifth of
the remaining vote of the State. It is
not necessary, in order to give the State
to General Harrison, that the gain out
side should continue in the same ratio
with similar gains throughout. The
majority for Harrison in the State
would exceed 17,000, but if the gains on
four-fifths yet unreported of the vote
outside of N-w.York and Kings should
be only double the gain on the one-fifth
reported, Harrison would still have a
safe plurality.
I At the two headquarters scenes of
great excitement prevail at 3 o’clock
this morning. Quay is telegraphing all
over the country that Harrison has car
ried the State and his fellow compan
ions are dishing enthusiasm to all who
apply. Chairman Brice says that sev
eral Democratic strongholds have not
been heard from yet, and that their re
turns will have a tendency to down the
Republicans. Those around him are
still confident and say that Cleveland
will carry the State. The Democrats
have not lowered the pitch of their en
thusiasm of the midnight hour and are
parading the street and shouting as haul
as ever. The Republicans are doing the
same thing, and the scene is one of un
terrorized bedlam.
Mr. Clark Howell, of the Atlanta
Which should remind us that life
hath its surprises as well as its realities,
for we can never know what an elec
tion or a bad egg will bring forth.
I'hk foul weather which followed the
announcement of Harrison’s election
yesterday was no more than we expect
ed. -The methods employed by the Re
publican campaigners in New York and
Indiana were cvicked enough to make
the very heavens weep.
Harrison wears a No. 6j shoe, a 74
hat, a 16* collar, and a bowel as big as
an opera box. Add to these physical con-
gruities a form 5 feet 7 inches in height,
and imagine how it will look iu the
Presidential chair! ’
over Blaine four years ago. The Dem
ocrats claimed Kings by 23,000 this time,
and the Republicans conceded it by
Cleveland’s majority of four years ago.
Consequently, everybody is astonished
at the Democratic loss. But there is
no probability that there will be any
material change in the result. As it
takes two or three days to canvass the
returns the official result will not be
known until then. All sorts of rumors
are constantly afloat, but back of them
is the stern reality that the tide is run
ning their way. The Democrats have
sustained heavy losses throughout the
Middle and Eastern States, and even
Connecticut and New Jersey are car
ried by greatly decreased .majorities,
the former remaining Democratic by
only a scratch. The Republican have
made decided Congressional gains, the
most astonishing of which is in St. Lou
is, which goes Republican- by 10,000 ma
jority. The World puts the Democrat
ic- majority in the next Congress at less
than ten, while the Mail and Express
of this afternoon claims a Republican
majority of forty. The latter is no
doubt exaggerated, as best indications
go to show that the Democrats will re
tain a majority.
New York. Nov, 7, 4 r. m.—New !
York State is 10,000 plurality for Harri-1
son. Connecticut is 600 for Cleveland, j
New Jersey is 8,000 for Cleveland. In
diana is doubtful. Chairman Brice still
refuses to concede the election. lie has
not yet even conceded New York. He
looks with a fond eye to Illinois. But
there is little reasonable doubt that
Benjamin Harrison will be the next
President of the United States. The
Democrats have been claiming Illinois
as a forlorn hope. Illinois, with its 22
votes, would probably elect Cleveland,
despite the loss of New York. The
early figures received seem to justify
this claim. Cleveland made big gains
in Chicago and the northern counties,
but this gain has been in a measure off
set by losses in the southern counties.
There remains only a possibility that
the Democrats may still carry the
State. Missouri has had a peculiar elec
tion, St. Louis going Republican. The
Democratic State and national tickets,
however, are elected. New Jersey is
solid for Cleveland. California is claim
ed for Cleveland.
New York, Nov. 7.—The full vote
of all counties in the State, including
New York and Kings counties, shows
pluralities for Cleveland of 7S,957, Har
rison 90,147, making Harrison’s plurali
ty in the State 11,191.
INDIANA.
Indianapolis, Nov. 7, 10 p. :u.—
Eight hundred and sixty precincts

give Harrison 136,203, Cleveland 128,648.
the day of election and for several day
prior there to, sums up the result in a
special to his paper, as follows:
“Harrison has carried New York. He
did it after most of the city bulletin
boards were deserted and the thousands
of eager spectators had gTone home, sat
isfied of Cleveland’s election. The late
returns from the interior of the State
settle the result and gives the electoral
vote of the State to Harrison over a man
who, a few years ago, received in the
State the largest majority ever given a
candidate for Governor in any State.
“At the same time, Hill is re-elected
Governor by a round majority, showing
that there must have been some mater
ial cause for such a difference in the
The same precincts in 1SS4 gave Blaine
123,700, Cleveland 122,711.
NEW JERSEY.
Trenton, N. J., Nov. 7.—The Demo
cratic plurality in New Jersey is now j
put down at 5,000. The Democrats j
elect to Congress Geisenhainer in the
Third district, Fowler in the Fourth
and McAdoo in the Seventh. The Re- j
publicans elect Bergen in the First, !
Buchanan in the Second, Beckwith in !
the Fifth and Dehlbach in the Sixth.
The Legislature will be Democratic by
a close vote. The Senate stands, Dem
ocrat, 11; Republicans, 10. This is the
first time in ten years that the Demo
crats have had the House. The Lower
House is claimed by the Republicans to
be a tie, but the Democrats say they
have a majority. The closeness of the
Legislature will make the contest for
United States Senator next winter un
usually exciting.
OHIO.
Cincinnati, Nov. S.—Returns from
Ohio continue to show nearly the same
ratio of Democratic gain over Foraker’s
last year, when he had a plurality of
something over 23,000. Indications
point to a reduced plurality for Harri
son. Some experts estimate it at 15,-
000.
CALIFORNIA.
San Francisco, Nov. 7.—Returns
throughout California are coming in
very slowly, and as there are no com
plete returns, nothing of a comparison
with the vote of 1884 is possible. Re
publican and Democratic State central
committees both claim the State, the
former by 7,000 to 9,000, while the lat
ter claim a majority of 2,000 to 3,000.
The city of San Francisco has been car
ried by the Democrats. The Evening
Post, Republican, says Cleveland’s ma
jority in the city will be 4,600, while
the Democrats claim 8,000 to 9,000, and
that the Republicans wdll not come to
the city with a sufficient vote to over
come this. The entire Democratic city
ticket is elected in San Francisco.
San Francisco, Nov. 7.—The Chron
icle (Republican) claims the election of
four Republican Congressmen in the
interior districts. Thompson and Beggs,
Democrats and present incumbents,
have been defeated by DeKoven and
Eagan, Republicans. McKenna and
Vandeveer, Republicans, have been re
elected in the Third and Fourth dis
tricts. Returns from the Fourth dis
trict are meagre, and no indication is
given as to whether or not Morrow, Re
publican, lias been elected. Returns
from the Fifth d strict are also mea
gre, and no conclusions can be based
on them.
CONNECTICUT.
Hartford, Nov. 6.—The returns are
not all in, but Connecticut probably for
Cleveland by a small plurality. The
Republicans gain one Congressman in
the State and both Houses of the Leg
islature. The Republicans gain four in
the Senate, also gain in the House over
last year. One hundred and thirty-six
towns in Connecticut give Harrison 880
gain. The twenty-seven tow T ns to be
heard from gave a plurality of 602 in
1884. If the same plurality is given this
year, Harrison wili carry the State by
198 plurality.
NORTH CAROLINA.
Raleigh, Nov. 6, 10 r. m.— Scatter
ing returns from various parts of the
State.indieate that the State is Demo
cratic by about the same majority as in
1S84—17,000. Indications are that the
Democrats are elected in all the dis
tricts except the first, second and fifth,
from which sufficient returns have not
been received to indicate the result.
Raleigh, Nov. 7.—Returns come in
slowly and indicate an increased Demo
cratic majority in the State and a large
Democratic majority in the Legislature,
which elects a successor to Senator
Ransom. The returns also indicate the
• dection of eight Democratic Congress
men, with the returns from Second dis
trict so meagre that result there is not
indicated.
VIRGINIA.
Lynchburg, Va., Nov. 6.—Lynch
burg polled an enormous vote, and
gave a Democratic majority of 26S
•against 166 in 1884. Hopkins, indepen
dent candidate for Congress, got less
than a dozen votes in his own home.
Harrisonburg, Nov. 6.—Thirteen
precincts in this county show 1,500gain
for O’Ferrell for Congress over the vote
of 1886. The same precincts show a
Republican gain of 200 over 1884. Nor
folk city goes Republican by 583, a Re
publican gain of 181. Portsmouth gives
a Democratic majority of 349, a Demo
cratic gain of 381.
Norfolk county gives 1,900 Republi
can majority, a Republican gain of 405.
George F. Bowden, Republican, is re
elected to Congress by a large major
ity.
Richmond, Nov. 6. — The city
gives about 1,600 majority for the Dem
ocrats. The estimated vote in eight
counties and cities indicates a loss ot
from 1,200 to 1,500.
Lynchburg, Nov. 7.—Official and es
timated returns of the sixty counties
in the State give Cleveland a slight gain
over the vote of 1S84. On the same ba
sis the Democrats have elected Con
gressmen in the third, fourth, fifth,
sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth
districts. The Democrats and Repub
licans both claim the first district, which
will be less than five hundred either
waj 7 .
Richmond, Nov. 7.—Great excite
ment prevails, in striking contrast with
the quiet situation of yesterday. Cleve
land has carried the State by a reduc
ed majority. The Democrats elect six
Congressmen, the Republicans one,
and three doubtf 1.
WEST VIRGINIA.
Wheeling, W. Va., Nov. 6.—The
chairmen of both State committees
claim the State. The vote in this city
will not be counted before 11 a. m.,
Wednesday. The result in the State
will probably not be known before
Thursday.
Wheeling, Nov. S.—The latest re
turns show increasing Republican gains
and it looks as if the Republicans had
carded the State. They claim the elec
tion of three out of four Congressmen,
viz: Atkinson of this district, Flick in
the Second and Smith in the Fourth,
and a majority on joint ballot m the
Legislature. The Democrats do not
admit loss of the State, but are feeling
very anxious over the news. Later.
Dispatch just been received announc
ing the election of McGinnis, Republi
can, in the Third Congressional district.
Republicans now claim all four districts
and Legislature.
ILLINOIS.
Chicago, Nov. 7.—The vote of eighty-
four counties in Illinois, including Cook,
shows majorities for Harrison of 38,942,
Cleveland 19,373, The remaining eigh
teen counties in 18S4 gave Blaine 5,881
and Cleveland 6,542. Assuming that
these eighteen counties not yet fully re
ported give the same results as in 1S84,
the State will now give a plurality for
Harrison of IS,912. It is safe to say
therefore that Harrison’s plurality will
be about 19,000. Unofficial reports, ex
cept six, show a plurality for Harrison
of 20,331. Six counties not reported
gave Oglesby, Republican, for Governor
in 1S87, a plurality of 436.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Philadelphia, Nov. 7. —Returns
from every county in the State show a
plurality for Harrison of 72,048, a Dem
ocratic gain of 807, as compared with the
vote for President in 1884. The new
Congressional delegation is composed
of twenty-one Republicans and seven
Democrats—a Republican gain of one.
KENTUCKY.
Louisville, Nov. 7.—The latest re
turns show 7 that the Democrats have
carried the first niue Congressional dis
tricts, with a prospect in the Tenth.
The Eleventh has re-elected Finley,
Republican. This is a certain gain of
one Democratic Congressman, and
probably two. Cleveland’s majority is
near 40,000.
ALABAMA.
Montgomery, Nov. 7.—The returns
to-day show Democratic majorities,
and the State is safe for 50,000 majority
for Cleveland. All the Democratic Con
gressmen are elected.
MISSOURI.
St. Louis, Nov. 7.—The official re
turns of the vote of this city show 7 most
extraordinary and altogether surprising
results. Harrison’s majority is over
6,000. Kimball, Republican, for Gov
ernor, has 10,000 majority, and the Re
publican city ticket will range from 3,-
500 majority for Sheriff, to 8,000 for the
other candidates. The Republicans
gain three Congressmen in the State.
MICHIGAN.
Detroit, Nov. 7.—The election of
Wheeler, Republican, in tiie Tenth dis
trict, over Fisher, present incumbent, is
conceded. This leaves but one district,
(the Seventh) in doubt, and is a Re
publican gain of five. Should Whitney,
Democrat, be re-elected in the Sev
enth, which now 7 seems probable, the
delegation will stand nine Republicans
and two Democrats. Additional re
turns received up to noon do not mate
rially change the vote for Governor.
Luce’s plurality will exceed 10,000.
OREGON.
Portland, Nov. 8.—More than
three-fourths of the full returns have
been received from Oregon. The vote
has increased nearly ten per cent over
that of last June, and the Republican
majority has increased in just about the
same proportion. The vote of the State
is nearly 60,000, and the Republican
majority fully 8,000.
In Washington territory, Allen, Re
publican, is elected to Congress by not
less than 5,000 majority. This is a Re
publican gain of over 7,000 since 1886.
The Legislature in both branches is
Republican.
KANSAS.
Topeka, Nov. 7.—Returns have been
received from every county in Kansas.
An estimate by chairman Booth from
the reports received gives Harrison 70,-
000 majority over Cleveland, and 65.000
for the entire Republican State ticket.
The Legislature is almost solidly Re
publican.
NEW 7 HAMPSHIRE.
Concord, N. IT., November 8.—
Returns from all but twenty-four
towns and wards in the State give Har
rison 43,169; Cleveland 40,421; Fisk 1,552;
Goodell, Republican, for Governor, 42,-
19S; Amsden, Democrat, 41,040; Carr,
Prohibitionist. 1,524. Harrison’s plural
ity will be about 2,250; Goodell’s about
750, leaving no choice, a majority being
required. As the Legislature is Repub
lican, (rondeii will be elected. The vote
is the largest ever cast in the State, ag
gregating nearly 90,000.
WISCONSIN.
Milwaukee, Nov. 7.—The Republi
can Central Committee claims the State
by 20,000.
IOWA.
Des Moines, Nov. 7.—Harrison’s plu
rality in Iowa will probably exceed 30,-
000. Weaver, in the Sixth district, and
Anderson in the Eighth,are both defeat
ed, giving the Republicans every Con
gressman in the State but one.
MINNESOTA.
St. Paul, Nov. 7, 1 a. m.—The Repub
lican State Committee claims State for
Harrison by 2,500.
MISSISSIPPI.
Jackson, Nov. 7.—Morgan will de
feat Chalmers, Republican. Catchings,
Democrat, for Congress, is believed to
be re-elected. A solid Democratic del
egation is probable.
MASSACHUSETTS.
Boston, Nov. 7.—All but two towns
1 in the State have been heard from, and
! give Harrison 183,447; Cleveland 151,990;
; Fisk 8,641. The gubernatorial vote is:
Ames 180,439; Russell 152,S46; Earle 9,-

NEBRASKA.
Lincoln, Nov. 7-The latest esti-
mates from returns already received y
the State Journal give the State to^ -
rison by between 30,000 and So,000.
Baier, Republican, for Governor, will
have 25,000 majority.
ARKANSAS.
Little Rock, Nov, 8.-Returns re
ceived late last night assure the elec
tion of a straight Democratic delega
tion to Congress. Breckenridge’s major
ity in the Second district is estimated
at from 1,000 to 1,500. Cleveland car
ries the State by over 20,000.
DELAWARE.
Wilmington, Nov. 7.—Advices re
ceived by the Morning Mews show that
Kent and Sussex counties have both
given safe Republican majorities on the
legislative and county tickets for the
first time in the history of the party.
This insures a Republican majority of
two votes in the next Legislature on
joint ballot, which will elect a Republi
can United States Senator to succeed
Senator Saulsbury, Democrat. In New
Castle county the Democratic ticket is
elected, and the electoral vote of the
State will be for Cleveland. Congress
man Pennington, Democrat, is returned
by 2,000 majority.
MICHIGAN.
Detroit, Nov. S.—Harrison’s plural
ity in Michigan will reach 22,000 against
13,308 for Blaine in 1S84. This surpris
ingly large gain is undoubtedly due to
the return of Greenbackers to the old
party lines. Four years ago the fusion
vote of the State w 7 as 189,361, the
straight Democratic vote being 142,835,
and the Greenback vote 41,490.
COLORADO.
Denver, Nov. 8.—Returns from the
outside are coming in exceedingly slow.
The Republicans to-day claim the State
by 13,875 majority, which, if correct, is
a Republican gain over Blaine’s major
ity in 18S4 of 5,000. The Republicans
also claim every member in the lower
House and twenty out of twenty-six
members of the Senate.
FLORIDA.
Jacksonville, Nov. 8—-Florida has
gone Democratic by over 13,000 major
ity and elects both Democratic Con
gressmen.
TENNESSEE.
Chattanooga, Nov. 8.—Evans, Re
publican, has been elected to Congress
by nearly 300 majority. The State goes
Democratic by a large majority.
Wisconsin.
Milwaukee, Nov. 8.—The State has
gone for Harrison by at least 18,000 ma
jority, and probably 21,000.
the next congress.
NewYork, Nov. 7.—The Fifty-first
Congress, according to the latest re
turns, will consist of 163 Republicans
and 162 Democrats. This Republican
majority of one may be wiped out and
it may be increased by later corrections
of the list. Indiana has gained three
Democrats and Missouri uas lost three.
The Maryland delegation is equally di
vided—three and three. New .Jersey
gains a Democratic member. Virginia
appears to have chosen an almost solid
delegation of Democrats, Bowden, Re
publican, from the Second district, be
ing'the only remaining representative
of his party from the State. Massachu
setts sends but one Democrat to the
next House. California loses Morrow,
the ablest member of the present dele
gation. Michigan loses Forbes, member
from the Grand Rapids district, and
two other Democrats.
STILL IN DOUBT.
NewYork, Nov. 8.— It is a possibili
ty that the Republicans may have con
trol of the Fifty-first Congress. The
Democratic majority of eighteen is
dwindling away. Several estimates
made by the Democrats in this city
bring the margin down to two votes.
The Republican's are claiming that the
full returns will give them the House.
This is very improbable, but a distinct
possibility. There have been some sur
prising Republican gains.
Democratic St, Louis has elected
three Republican Congressmen. The
Republicans make apparently well-
based claims to three gains in Michigan.
But the Democrats have gained in Vir
ginia. New York’s delegation is un
changed as to parties. The fact of the
situation is that there are enough dis
tricts yet uncertain to turn the House
majority either way.
Chairman Brice, of the Democratic
National Committee, concedes Harri
son’s election. The Republicans carry
California from 5,000 to 10,000, Indiana
by 3,000 to 4,000; V est Virginia is still
in doubt. It will require an official
count to decide the results.
Virginia is Democratic.
Full unofficial returns from New
York State place Harrison’s plurality
at 12,000; Hill’s, Democratic Governor
plurality will exceed this.
Toe Evening Post makes the electo
ral votes stand: Harrison 233, Cleveland
168, giving West Virginia to the Demo
crats. The indications are that the Re
publicans have majorities in the Lecis-
lature of West Virginia and Delaware
which S'Ye the party two additional
United States Senators.
