DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS ASSURED.
From the new York Times.
The IEmes Informed its renders Wednes
day morning that Grover Cleveland had
been elected president of the United
states. II during the confusion of the
dag any one was led to doubt the correct
pess of our conclusion, it was because he
toolIshly allowed his faith to be shaken by
the ext?avagant falsehoOd and bluster of
the defeated. The returns wa have
received during the last twenty four hours
confirm and make certain what We then
asserted with full confidence. New York
has been carried for the Democratic
electoral ticket by a plurality of 3 900.
The returns on which this total is based
are very nearly complete. and the official
count will but slightly vary it. The @
votes OF Connecticut and New jerseys 0
are assured to Cleveland by substantial
pluIalities. The Democratic majority in
Indiana will DO very nearly 10, 900, giving
10 more electoral vote to Gov. Cleveland.
and Wisconsin may be confidently counted
on Tor IL more, while there is strong
probability that the success of fusion
ticket in Michigan will add more to bis
increasing majority. This gives him 230
OF the 4Ol votes of the electoral college. a
majority OF so, only l59 being lett to MIR.
Blame, even SHOULD he have carried Calf
fOrnia with votes, and Nevada with 8.
which he may yet oe compelled to give uu.
