New YORK. Nov. 4.-Senator Jonas. of the
Democratic national committee, saws there
is no doubt that New York State has given
Cleveland from $4,000 to $4,000 ma
iority, New jersey 5000 and Connec-
ticut $500. Meager returns from
Indiana show material Democratic gains
over 1850, and Senator Jonas is confident
of q Democratic majority in that state and
California He also hopes for Nevada.
The Republican national committee
privately conceded New York state to Cleye-
land by 10000 majority. This was based
on returns from cities During the next hour,
returns from less populous districts made a
considerable decrease i'll that estimate.
H PREss AT SEA.
NEW YORK, Special Telegram, Nov. 5, $50
q m-The press of this city seems pretty
well at sea on theresult. The Morning Jour
nal says in its headlines: Looks like Blaine"
but its returns are meager. The Tribune
says in its first edition:
-Slaine apparently has 157 electoral vote
:ertain and Cleveland 135. Eleven states, cast
oB 4Vo CASClO1dl tOtcs, are III uOuDC, or nave
not been heard from. New York is one of tie
states in doubt. The early returns indicate a
large total vote and large Democratic gains in
some parts of the state. In New York
city the Democratic plurality is over 40, 900,
and in Kings over Is, 900. The Republicans
gaia in Albany, Chemung and Monroe counties.
The delegation in congress seems to be evenly
divided, each party having seventeen members.
The assembly is Republican by about twenty
eight majority"
L Times says:
The returns indicate that Grover Cleveland
has been elected president Of the United States.
Ii it shall appear that New Jersey has given him
the majority that scattering returns now seem
to show, and which the Democratic committees
positively claim. The State of New York will
give Cleveland from 10000 to l6. 900 plurality.
Cleveland's plurality in Connecticut will be
about 1000 There is no indication that he has
lost any of the 1873 votes in the South hitherto
assigned to him. There Is no conclusive news
from Indiana. If we add to those 153 votes
from the south, the SO votes of New York, the 8
votes of New Jersey and the 6 votes of Con-
%necticut, the total is 204. A majority
Of the entire number of electoral
votes is POI. The returns from New
Jersey are very incomplete, but every
indications points to the success of the Demo-
cratic presidential ticket in that state. The Re
publicans claim Essex county by only
1880 majority, which indicates a Democratic
gain of 200"
The majority for Cleveland in this city, which
is $4,000 in round numbers, shows that the in
dependent vote was not as large as was expected,
or that it was offset by Democratic treachery or
detection. The large majority Of $4,000 in
Kings shows that county is we'll entitled to
the name given 1t of the stronghold o. the In
dependents" The fears that have been enter
tanned Of a break in the solid South through the
corrupt use of money by the Republicans, have
not been justified by the result, since that sec
tion, as usual, will cast it's entire electoral vote
for the Democratic candidate.
The Tribune, in its second edition. saws
editorially:
We believe that Blaine and Logan are elected.
The states regarded az safe for the Republican
ticket when our first edition went to press gave
it l57 electoral votes. There seems still no
reason to doubt in the case of any
one Of the states thus enumerated.
We can now safely add New York and Wiscon-
sin. and thus bring the electoral votes secured
for the Republican candidates up to 2O4, or
three more than are necessary for cleo
tion. 1t is reasonably certain that IL more
will be added from the Pacific slope, while from
Indiana, New Jersey and the South, there is, and
at the hour Of writing, 3 o'clock a. m, reason to
hope for more yet. All hail the Republicans!

The result of the election in Minnesota
yesterday is a source of qualification to every
Republican, and the Indications are that u e
majority for the Blaine and Logan electors
will be much larger than was anticipated
by even the most %sanguine. Returns have
been secured from nearly two hundred Of
1,40O precincts, or about one-third of the
state. These show a total vote of 25,746
for the Republican electors, and l $3.50 for
Cleveland, a majority of 1876, being a net
Republican gain over the vote of 1888
of 1880. These returns have been
received principally from the Republican
precincts, but at the same ratio of increase
the majority in the state may safely be
placed at from $4,000 to 10, 600 for the na.
tional ticket
THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS.
In the congressional districts the result is
no less satisfactory, every Republican men,
Der being elected by increased maiorities, in
most cases exceeding even their own hopes

the First district from the thirty-one pre-.
cincts heard from Mr.. White has a majority
of 749. This is but about o%ne-quartcr OF the
number of polling places in the district, anG

be placed at 1000; but the returns from the
Democratic strongholds, in Winona and The
larger towns, will reduce the figures. to the
