Governor Cleveland has the highest ad-

character OF Senator Bayard, and haa often
freely expressed it. Indeed, during the
national convention week he more than once
expressed the opinion that the nomination
would fall TO Senator Basard, and more than
intimated that, were be himself delegate in

the Delaware Senator, who, he believed,
embodied the ideas OF the Democratic party.

Avn Enciish paper ON enc Result.

LONDON, Nov. 5.--The Daily News, in an edi-
torial upon late advices from America that Mr..
Blaine has 10, 900 majority in New York State,
says: This result must be a surprise to his
friends as much as to his opponents. Mr..
Blaine has fought his battle with an energy
and spirit that even his opponents must admire.
Gladstone's recent efforts in Scotland were al
most insignificant compared with the efforts Of
Blaine. Nevertheless, the gradual recovery Of
the Democratic party from the great depression
of 1868 encourages the Democrats and alarms
their opponents. Tho present struggle is simply
a question of personal preference. The large
ness of the vote is a healthful sign Of the interest
Americans take in their politics"

New YORK, Nov. 5.-Senator German, chair
man of the national Democratic executive com
mittee, has sent the following dispatch to
the chairman of the State committee of Indiana:
'"The vote in nearly every precinct in the
State of New York. as announced in the polling
places when counted, has been received, and
shows a small but safe majority for Cleveland
and Hendricks. The exact figures for the State
will be given as soon as the returns are com
plete. There will be no counting out this
time"
TIL Sun has received returns from every
county in the State, and revised returns, com
plete from ffty-four of the sixty counties. They
give Cleveland 1,G43 plurality.
Returns from all the election districts in this
city show that Cleveland has 43, 233 votes over
Blaine.
The city and county ticket Of the county is
Democratic, headed by ex-Mayor VIM. r. Grace,
for mayor, andis elected, excepting coroner, by a
majority ranging from 1000 to 15, 900. Deputy
Coroner w. j. B. Messiner, of Tammany Hall,
is elected coroner by 10, 900 majority.

The Excitement in the Citv.

WAsHIEGroN, Nov. 5-The excitement on
the streets here tonight is greater than last
night Democrat and Republican Clubs are pa
rading and shouting for Cleveland and Blaine,
respectively. All news received is through
newspaper Offices, and is as conflicting as it was
twenty four hours ago. The New York Times
telegraphs it's Office that Blaine is on his way to
New York, but that Cleveland has 5000 plural
ity in the State, is elected and can't be counted
out. On the other hand, the Tribune wires
its correspondent that ''orly county
returns are being received, with no ma
terial changes, and only a few districts
to be heard from; it is impossible to overcome
Blaine's plurality"
Both parties still claim Virginia. The Critics
extra, just out, has specials from Petersburg
which say the vote is evidently very close and
the returns very slow. The Republican central
committee claim the State by from 5000 to
Z, 900, while the Democrats claim the State
also. A Richmond telegram says nothing de-
finite has yet been heard from the State. 1t is
extremely doubtful as to the result. Seven
Democratic congressman are elected. and two
Republicans, with. the Ninth district claimed by
both parties. The Democrats claim The State
by 3, 800 votes, and the Republicans claim the
State by a majority of 1000.

kilograms, many Of them of a eongratulatory
character, addressed to ''President-elect Cleye-
land" are pouring in upon him. Private
advices received from Indiana, New Jersey, and
Connecticut indicate that these States have been
carried by the Democrats. Col. Villas tel
egraps that Wisconsin is probably Dem
ocratic, and Carter Harrison wires
that Illinois may go the same way.
Indications are, also, that California. Nevada
and Oregon may have gone Democratic. While
1t is possible that Cleveland may be elected
President without New York, the chances are
that that State will be the pivotal one. There
is intense excitement in this city over the result.
Business is partially suspended and the news
paper and telegraph bulletins and Offices are
thronged with anxious crowds.

The State Republican by Not Less than Ten
Thousand Majority.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 5.-Returns from
over half the towns and wards Of the State now
assure the election of the Republican national
and State ticket by not less than 10, 1000. The
Republicans have elected six out of zine Con
gressmen, with one district, the Sixth, in doubt.
Following are the Republican Congressman
elected, with a probable majority for Caswell,
in the First district, of 5000; L~afollett, in the
Third, l, 900; Van Schaick, in the Fourth, 1000;
Thomas, in the Seventh, l 800, Price, in the
Eighth, 6, 600; Stephenson, in the Ninth, IL, 900.
The Democrats have elected Bragg in the Sec
ond, and Rankin in the Fifth district. The
contest between Guenther, Republican, and
Smith, Democrat in the Sixth district, is very
close, and will probably require the official count
to decide.
The returns and estimates place the Repub-
lican plurality in the State at 10, 900 or more.
The Republicans elect seven out of the nine con-
gressmen, Bragg and Rankin only being saved.
This is a gain of four. The majorities on con-
gressmen range from 700 upward. The Legisla-
ture is Republican in both branches insarlng
election of a Republican to the United States
Senate.

INC Tribune claims the State.

NEW York. Nov. 6.-The Tribune says: We
still believe that Blaine and Logan are elected.
Several States are in doubt, and likely to remain
so for some days, but the Republicans seem to
have the stronger probabilities in their
favor. The Republican State commit
tee claims a handsome plurality on
New York, and reports from counties
continue to justify their confidence. Our own
returns also give the State to Blaine by a con-
siderable plurality, and we do not believe it can
be taken out without fraud, or that fraud can
go undecided. 1t will probably be several days
before the exact result in the Southern States
can be known.
meanwhile, if Indiana continues 70 promise
a slender but satisfactory Republican plu-
rality, the supporters of Mr.. Blaine
need not feel that they are in
the least at the mercy of such frauds as the
Democratic officials in New York are planning to
perpetrate. But we exhort the utmost watch
fulness and stern dealing with men caught tam
pering with the records"
The Sun, in its second edition, comedies the
election of Cleveland by the vote of New York
State, having received further confirmation of
its previous figures putting Cleveland's plurality
at ], 643.

THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
MIR. Blaine Receiving the Returns from All
Sections.


Sections.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Nov. 5.-This city was excited
all day over the election returns. Many con-
gratulatory dispatches were received from all
quarters by Mr., Blaine. About noon Senator
Malone telegraphed confirmation Of the report
that Virginia had gone Republican. This news
was very consolatoy to those of Blaine's friends
who were still doubtful about New York. Early
in the evening a despatch was received announc-
ing that California has declared for Blaine
and Logan by a majority of 10000, Nevada
by a good majority, and Oregon by at
least 1000. Several discouraging dispatches
were received from Indiana, which
had previously been regarded as certain for the
Republicans, hut Mr.. Blaines friends were not
disturbed, because they claimed that their can
didate could be elected without New York.
About 9 O'Clock, however, a message was re
ceived from Mr.. Kitchener, secretary of the
Inpiana Republican State committee, stating
that although the State was close, Blaine and
Logan would almost certainly have a small plu-
rality. Almost Immediately after this came the
following from New York:
II have accurate returns from every election dis
triet, save 1877, in the State and making ample al
lowance for these, | ana sure you have carried the
State. 'S. b. FRENCH. Superintendent"
From New Orleans came the announcement Of
Republican gains on members CO Congress, and
from Wisconsin and Michigan assurance that
those States were ''all right" Mr.. Blaine re-
manned quietly at home all day, receiving re-
turns.
