! up. l believe that we also have Connecticut
and New Jersey"
New YORK, Nov. 4-Senator Jonas, of the
Democratic national committee. says there
is no doubt that New York State has given
Cleveland from So, 900 to 10000 ma
iority, New Jersey 5000 and Connec-
ticut $500 Meager returns from
Indiana show material Democratic gains
over 1880, and Senator Jonas is confident
of Democratic majority in that state and
California He also hopes for Nevada
The Republican national committee
privately conceded New York state to Cleve-
land by 10000 majority. This was based
on returns from cities During the next hour,
returns from less populous districts made a
considerable decrease In that estimate.
THE PRESS AT SEA
New YORK, Special Telegram, Nov. o. $50
q m-The press of this city seems pretty
well at sea on the result The Morning Jour
nal says in its headlines: @I.ooks like Blaine, "
but its returns are meager. The Tribune
says in its first edition:
Blaine apparently has 157 electoral vote
:ertain and Cleveland 135. Eleven states, cast
ng 100 electoral votes are in doubt, or have
not been heard from. New York is one of the
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 AZ, 900,
and in Kings over $4,000. The Republicans
gain 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.
The Times says:
The returns Indicate that Grover Cleveland
has haa all faa ~ he OF
II 1t shall appear that New Jersey has given him
the majority that scattering returns now seem
10 show, and which the Democratic committees
positively claim. The State of New York will
give Cleveland from 2. 900 to 10000 plurality.
Cleveland's plurality in Connecticut will be
about 1000. There is no indication that lie has
lost any of the 153 votes In the South hitherto
assigned to him. There is no conclusive news
from Indiana. II re add to those 153 votes
from the soubh, the SO votes of New York. the .
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 DOL 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
l,80c majority, which indicates Democratic
gain of l, 700"
The majority for Cleveland in this city, which
is ~, 1000 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 well entitled to
the name given it of -the stronghold Of the In
dependents" The fears that have been enter
tanned of break in the solid South through the
corrupt use of money by the Republicans, have
not been justified by the result, since that Sec
ton, as usual will cast its entire electoral vote
for the Democratic candidate.
The Tribune, in its second edition, says
editorially:
We believe that Blaine and Logan are elected
The states regarded as safe for the Republican
ticket when our first edition went to press gave
it 157 electoral votes There seems still no
reason to doubt in the 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 204, or
three more than are necessary for cleo
ton 1t is reasonably certain that IA 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
