that the product is somewhat in excess Of
100000 bushels. or an average rate OF a
small fraction above twenty-six bushels per
acre. The best fields are. as In 1883, in what
has been designated the great American
desert and the "Arid regions" in the vicin-
fly OF the huDdredth meridian. They have
produced heavy crops of maize OF high
duality. That line OF longitude has ceased
to be an absolute barrier to corn production
or general farming, the rate yield In Nebras-

given to the Presidential ticket. That
number is already known far and wide. As

NEW YORK, Nov 12.-The Maii and Express
this afternoon says: The official canvass Of
the vote OF this State Is in progress to-day
Few changes were made In the canvass yes
terday 1t is now generally conceded that
the vote OF the counties above Harlem
bridge cannot be changed to affect Cleve
lands plurality. An accidental error may
entirely wipe out the plurality and on this
alone are based the hopes of the Republi.
cans. At midnight 40 Of 60 counties have
been heard from ofiicially. They gave a
net gain Of SO for Cleveland, leaving his
plurality at 1925. According to the claims
OF the Democrats this practically ends any
probability of any serious increase to
Blaine's majorities in the rural counties. al
though ii Is fair TO bear In mind that where
the gains are expected the canvass is de-
layed and the case may yet be presented In
eight or ten counties where the count has
been estimated. The real fight Is in this
city and Republican hopes were greatly
daInpened when Elihu Root announced
Yesterday that he found the majority to be
4. .e2s, wfping out the gain Of 12e votes an,
votes upon which, In some form or another,
George Bliss expects to take exception to, In
the formal count already had, Is about four
thousand. About one third OF these are de-
fective or blank ballots and the rest are
Butler, st. John and other votes which were
miscounted, excluded or otherwise made to
swell the Cleveland vote.
