Inc readers Of this paper have al
ready heard the glorious news of the
election of Grover Cleveland as Presi-
dent, and Thomas A. Hendricks as
Vice-President, of the United States.
Ihe following extracts from daily pap
ers will give some idea of the charac-
ter of the battle fought and won on the
4th day of November, 1884, and of the
results in the different States of the
Union:
From the Ne,os and Courier, November S. 7
AT this hour, 8 A. M, the kilograms
from the North and West leave it in
douot whether Cleveland or Blaine is
elected. early in the night all the re-
ports were favorable to Cleveland, and
at one time it was confidently asserted
that the Democrats had carried New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut, III
diana, California and Nevada, as we'll
rs the Solid South, and had chance
OF carrying Massachusetts and Wiscon-
SIN, Desldes securing votes on the
Fusion ticket in Michigan. Before
midnight there was a change for the
worse in the character of tho returns.
1t IS now uncertain that Cleveland has
carried New York State, although the
pb1npnc eli IN 10 a.,
publicans claim to have carried New
Jersey, where the latest Democratic re-
turns give 1000 majority, and, besides
this, boast that they have placed Viz
ginia in the Republican column.
The probabilities still are that the
Democrats will be shown to have car
ried New Jersey and Indiana, and most
likely Connecticut, and there is moth
Ing discouraging and much that is en-
cOuraging i'll the reports from Michi-
gan and Wisconsin. Without New
York Slate, however, Cleveland can
not be elected.
We hope to be able, in few hours,
10 give moro definite tidngs of the re-
suit of the momcntous contest which |
took place yesterday.
The following dispatch from the |
Hon. B. b. Smalley, secretary of the |
National Democratic Committee, was |
received at 2 "A. NJ:
NEW YORK, November ITO T.. w. |
Dawson: We have carried New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut, and
think we have carried Indiana.

From the Nttos anG Courtcr, November 6. !
The long agony is not vet over.
Until late last night it was confidently
claimed by the New York Times and
by the National Democratic Committee
that Cleveland had plurality of 5000
III New York State. Later dispatches,
however, brought the unwclcomc in
tclligencc that the vote was so close
that the official count would bo ncccs-
sary 10 determine whether Blaine or
Cleveland had carried the State. The
prospects for the Democrats arc
brighter by far than Yesterday; but
Blaine is reported to have been sum-
moned to New York-tor no good pur-
pose, we may be surc-and it is diff
cult to tell what to-day will bring forth.
New Jersey and Connecticut are un-
doubtcdly Democratic, and tho Demo-
cratic leaders claim that Indiana has
been placed in tho democratic column.
Late dispatches, however, say that it
will need the official count in that
State as well rs in New York.
In Michigan the Fusion electoral
ticket has n majority, but the full vote
OF the State has not yet been reported.
The following dispatch was received
at O'Clock last evening from Senator
A. T.. German, chairman of the cxccu-
tive committee of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee:
NEW YORK, Nov, 5.-Ncw York is
close and both sides claim it. We be-
lieyewe have carried it by from seven
TO ten thousand. Indiana, New Jcr-
sey and Connecticut are safe, and pro-
badly Illinois and California.

From the Nc'cs and C0urier, November ~
There is no more doubt, no more nm
certainty. The Reform Candidate for
President, the EXemplar in himself of
Executive sintcgrity and Administra.
tive purity, is unquestionably elected.
Throughout yesterday the Blaine
managers continued to assert that
Blaine was elected, and even had the
lmpudence, in the afternoon, to issue
AN Address, in which they declared
that the Democracy were defeated, and
were cndeavoring to secure bv fraud
what they could not win by honest yot-
ing. 1t was known, however, by the
Democratic leaders that this was only
to cloak the scheme Of Blaine end his
political sneak-thievcs to secure cor
ruptly'a change in the returns of the
vote.
New York the belief was general
that Jay Gould was exerting himself
industriGusly to protect his own inter-
eests ola Blaine, and it was freely said
that th9 bulletins of the corporation
winch he controls were systematically
doctored SO as TO prepare the public
m.nd fora result different from that
which the Democratic committees had
announced. However this NAV bc. If
is certain that yesterday afternoon, and
until late at night, the Western Union
bulletins reported that Blaine had n
plurality In New York State. The old
jibee, "to lie like a bulletin" is timely
and appropriate.
The Blaincish bulletins caused somo
