The following dispatches are the lat
est received in regard to the election up
to the hour Of going to press with this
side Of our paper.
From the Daily Pioneer Press.
At2 q m. tho returns are not sufficient to
warrant positive claims on either side In
the states not In doubt Blaine has secured a
total Of 179 electoral votes, and Cleveland
viz: New York, New jersey, Connecticut,
Indiana. Nevada and Virginia OF these,
the Democrats claim New Jersey, Connectt-
cut and Indiana, and the chances are proba-
bly, rather in their favor. In Indiana,
however,. there have been noticeable
Republican gains; but the returns
are too meagre to admit of anything like q
careful estimate. In Connecticut the Re-
publicans claim and the New York Sun con
cedes about $500 and the Democrats
$500 majority Virginia is claimed by
Gov. Cameron and others to have certainly
gone Republican The state press. however,
assert that Cleveland will have from 5000
to 1000 majority. In any event, the Repub-
hcans have made large gaina The
great interest centers in the re-
suit in New York, and everything is
In q state Of beautiful uncertainty.
In New York city Cleveland has majority of
43 ,O83 and in Kings county Of 15,239. Re-
turns from somewhat more than half the
districts outside of New York and Brooklyn
give Blaine plurality of little
more than $4,000 This shows q
net Democratic gain Of 1885 Should the
returns from the remaining districts equal
these, it is probable that Blaine would carry
the state by q fair majority: In Ohio
the Republican majority is largely
in excess of that Of October, and
a total of 10000 is probable Illinois is un-
doubleday Republican, though Harrison ran
considerably ahead of his ticket In
Massachusetts the vote was closer than
was expected, and Butler made a. surpris-
ingly small showing. Later dispatches
claim that Tennessee is somewhat in doubt,
though, this is scarcely credible. Nothing

warrant any positive statement rs to the re-
suits Of yesterday's election New York
seems to BIO very close, with the chances

with the chances in our favor: From New
