The New Ta9@a yy@y@e

The people Of New York gave to Grever
Cleveland q majority more bhan deuble
that Of Mr. Tlden in 1874, nore than
double the largest majority ever attained
by q candidate for Governor in o contested
election in this State. Ii this city, CISss-
lands majority il nearly 8o,ooo; in
Brooklyn, nearly 40 600; in such Rspubli-
can strongholds as Erie and Jefferson
counties, 6,0oo and a,ooo respectively.
Everywhere the votes fell thick and fest
for Cleveland. At this time Of writing is
seems certain that his majority will exceed
10000; it may reach 150,0o0
This tremendous result has BEEN effected
by the throwing OF Democratic ballots
with Grover Cleveland . name printed up-
on them; not by the Withholding of Bepub-
lican ballots bearing the name Of Folger.
The great States that are claimed %
doubtful In Presidential years-aew
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Gale
fornia-are a1lstrongly Democratic In this
fall's elections. Pennsylvania has been
carried for Robert e. Pattison, the Grover
Cleveland Of that State, by . plaEalisy
large enough to make honest Pennsylva~
nialas' hearts happy Coanaetieae.wtN
have in Thomas M. Walker, On honest ena
able Democratic Governor. And Yaaaa~
chusetts, where they have nos yet ceased
to talk Of the majority Of 1000 for Gaesen
in the topsy~turvy OF 1874, as vendeg
and an anomaly, elects bluR. .Ben Butte.
in 1889 by . majority three biuneg &c BIZ.
We congratulate Cen. Butlers Hho haD5
got what he has long wanted. Ne eoa-
gratulate Massachusetts, which has eos
what she has long needed. We congratu-
late Harvard College, which will new.
have the long-awaited Opportunity to een-
fer upon this eminent citizen tho title OF
Doctor Of Laws and to receive him with
proper honors when he goes over the Caaa-:
bridge bridge to commencement nexs suEa-
mer escorted by company Of lsneevs.
The gains OF Cengressmen already re-
ported, some OF thekas from Republican
States like Iowa and Wisconsin, put the
control Of the nezts Represents
tives into the hanassof Anerieen De
1nocracy. Hotdfl large maj jority will 30
IL is NOT yet possible to say. In many In.
stances faithful members OF tho. preaens
House have been returned With Increased
major;ties. Perry Belmont receives I'm
Suffolk county alone q smajority about
double his majority i'm the whole diatviee
two years ago. In Connecticut the Demo-
Gratis gain two members; in Massachusetts,
three, and perhaps four; ia Nov. Jersey
at least one; in Pennsylvaaia eoar or
more; and so throughout t. eeunsry, In
growing larger 90 the restarns
come in.
On one result or the voting, all geed eie-
izens, irrespective Of party, can congrata-
late themselves and each ether. Ia Ghe
First district Of New Jersey, Seeog Robo-
son, the most notorious OF ali publle rob
bers, is defeated by decisive vote. Is
seems probable that Miles Ross, the reero-
ant Democrat, has shared Bobeson's fate.
In this city it appears by about 9g 90
majority that the true citizsna, etcket 80
the ticket headed by franklin Rdson.
On every side we fad reaeoR Goc sepns
graduation and hope. Yestorday wasss
