And 1t Will Require an Official
Count to Fully Decide.

Up to midnight Thursday the indi'
cations both in Indiana and New York
were favorable TO the election O
Blaine and Logan electors, in botf
states by plurality in New York O
something under 1000 and similarly
close vote in Indiana. This, Friday
morning, however seems to have rever
sed the situation, and the democrat!
are claiming, confidently both states
Indiana by 700, and New York BY
900 votes with five precincts to heal
from. An official count may ye,
change these figures, but there is little
on which republicans can build W
their hopes with much certainty.
There is no doubt but the prohibi
ton vote in New York has caused the
disaster.
In this state the returns are not al
in but the indications all point to the
fact that the race between Marmaduke
and Ford will be extremely close The
democrats are only claiming the state
by six to seven thousand majority.
Later and fuller returns may reverse
this.
All the other northern states except
New Jersey and Connecticut have
stood true to their republican record.
There were large republican gains
in West Virginia and at one time old
Virginia was in doubt, bet it seems
that the "solid south" has got in its
work and secured the defeat-if defeat
it is-of the grand old party that caus.
ed her humiliation.

yield 1870 plurality for Blame. This
added to the 1888 plurality shown by
those already reported, will make a re-

York and Kings counties of 69,67S
The Democrats plurality in New YORK
County IS according to the latest com
pilation 42,7sf, and that OF Kings
county 1882. 1t appears, therefore
that the Democratic plurality of 57.93s
will be overcome, with upwards of H..
600 to spare, by the plurality with
which Blaine comes to the HaIem Riv,
er. This is contingent on the returns
holding out as iavorably for the Re
publicans as they have done up to this

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

I IlE LATE ELECTION.
To the Congress Of the United States:
Since the close Of your last session the Amer
lean people, in the exercise of their highest
right of suffrage, have chosen their chief
magistrate for the four years ensuing When
1t is Aforementioned that at no period in the
conntry's history has the long political con-
test which customarily preceties the day of
the national election been waged with
greater fervor and intensity, it is subject
Of congratnlation that after the controversy
at the polls was over. and while the slight
preponderanceb by which the issue had baen
determined was as yet unascertained the
public peace suffered no, disturbance, but
the people everywhere patiently and quietly
awaited the result Nothing could more
sIikingly illustrate the temper Of the
American citizen his love of order and his
loyalty to law. Nothing could more agnally
demonstrate the strength and wisdom of our
political institutions Eight years have
passed since q controversy concerning the
result Of a national election sharply called
the attention of the congress to the neces-
sity Of: yiding more precise and definite
regulations for counting the electoral vote.
1t is Of the greatest Importance that this
question be solved before conflicting claims
to the presidency shall again district the
country; and | am persuaded that, by the
people at large, any Of the measures Of re-
lief thus far proposed would be preferred to
continued ihaction t5Ys y aSs,s A33S- Il,
