BABLE RE-ELEC TION OF
VAN BUREN,.
PROBABLE DEFEAT OF
GEN. HARRISON.
COUNTER REVOLUTION IN NEW YORK,

GREAT CONFUSION AND EXCITEMENT.
The accounts received this morning, from all parts
ofthe country, fthe most astounding character
BY our returns from Albany and the counties bor-
during the Hudson river it appears that in twelve
counties, far heard FROM Van Buren, has gained
nearly 5000 votes ever the election of 1888, when
the wings carried the State by about 10000. II the
central and western portions of the State indicate
similar change, there be little doubt but coun-
ter revelation taken place, and that Van Buren,
has gained the State. THIS has been produced by
b. the Abolition party principally. Further returns
will be received to morrow by the boat from Al
basy. We have sent a special express up the river
aud he will return with budget full OF news.
From Virginia, according TO the returns received,
there is similar probability Of that state going for
Van Buren,. A few days will tell the tale.
Pennsylvani also, is still in great doubt We
have further returns, but nothing yet decisive.
Maine, also, is in doubt both parties claiming
gain since the recent State election.
Great excitement and CONSERVATION begins to pre-
vail in the Wing party If New York, Pennsylva.
MIA, Maine and Virginia have gone for Van Barren,
there is nearly an end to the prospects Of Gene
raj IL Irrison. We do not however, give up the idea

Oh oh oh -
The avidity with which this swallowed up,
was miraculous. 1t seemed as il Satan had taken
from every face. Beth parties throughout the day
continued claim each of the three great doubtful
states OF

os which hang the election Of General Harrison
Wan Baren. The wings continued to claim these
mysterious states, but the losofocos loadly de-
MED the validity Of the claim.
Up and down Wall street, the loccfocos were
walking along, with their widest strides, each stride
seeming to span half world. The wings were
quiet-not a smile IN their cheek-and busy fgur-
ing up the election Of Harrison the best way they
could. At Tammany Hall, in the evening, the de-
he'll was let loose"
La this way matters remained throughout the day,
ur to late hour last night. The wings claimed the
state OF New York per Jas aut nsfas, but the demo
ersts denied the claim Last night the returns from
fifteen counties gave the Van Buren, electoral ticket
gain Of 5.sls votes, compared with the election
Of 1875 IL this change should 90 through the State
ia the same ratio. Van will get it by 5000 ma
jority at least. IL seems conceded, however,
that Governor Stewards election is lost. In
deed whether Harrison gets the ~ votes OF New
York or not, we doubt, very much, if Seward can
be elected. All the " small potatoe" lawyers have
gooe against him. In his city alone he runs behind
ce electoral ticket fun 100 or $40 rofe, In the
18th Ward he is behind the electoral ticket GO votes
and ia the same ratio throughout the other wards,
he would be 100 behind Harrison. At all events.
his election is in great jeoParjy-snd perhaps few
days may elapse before know the real re-
