returns from the remaining districts equal
these, 1t 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 totaI of 10000 is probable. Illinois is un-
doubtedly Republican, though Harrison ran
considerably ahead of his ticket In
Massachusetts the vote was closer than

CHICAGO. Special Telegram, Nov. 4.-The
night editor of the New York Tribune has
just telegraphed that neither party ia war
ranted in claiming the state from returns so
far received, but he still believes the Repub-
licans have carried it by a small majority.

DECIDEDLY DOUBTFUL.
New YORK, Special Telegram, Nov. S, 2 a.
m.-The Morning Journal independently,
just issued, says it looks like Blaine, though
the vote in this state is very close, and
Blaine's plurality, if any, will not be more
than 5000, and probably less.
