THE TRIBUNE CONFIDENT.
Blaine Probably Elected, With New
York or Without 1t.
Special to the Press.l


NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The Tribune says edi-
torially tomorrow: 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 Committee claim handsome plurality
In New York, and the reports from the ccun-
ties Justify their confidence. Our own re-
turns also give the State to Blaine by consid-
cradle plurality and we do not believe it can
be taken away without fraud, or that the fraud
can 60 undetected.
1t appears probable from the latest returns
that every Northern State except New Jersey
aud Connecticut will vote for Mr.. Blaine, and
in these States also there is room fer doubt,
the apparent plurality ia Connecticut for
Cleveland being only 700. But the reports
give strong ground to hope that one
or both of the Vifginias and
Florida have voted for Mr.. Blaine
and there are also doubts as to Tennessee.
Carrying either of these States the Republi-
cans would elect Mr.. Blaine without the vote
of New York, New jersey or Connecticut.
The Independents Claim Everything.

New YORK, Nov. 5.-Cleveland carries New
York by 5000 plurality, also New Jersey and
Connecticut, and probably Michigan, Indiana
and California. The Blaine people are feeling
for weak spots in Virginia and West Virginia.
They are unlikely to change these States from
the Democrats. New York TIMES.

The feeling between Tammany Hall and the
county Democracy has been much intensified
by the result thus far acknowledged. For a
moment the Tammany people are stupified by
the force of the blow which has been admins
tered, and they do not hesitate TO say that the
county Democracy sacrificed Cleveland at the
polls for the benefit of Grace. The county
Democrats retort in similar strain.

other citizen. kilograms, many of them of a

despatch to Boston Globel
New YORK, Nov. 5.--From a comparison of
the figures published in both Democratic and
Republican papers in this city this afternoon
the chances seem to be that Cleveland will car
ry the State by very small majority. The
uncertainty of the State is SO great, and the
Hselessness OF the returns as factors in the gen.
eral result 80 apparent, that it is thought by
some that the eficial count of the States vote
will have TO be awaited before the result Ia
really known. 1t is by no means certain
for either side, and will not be before tomor-
row. Perhaps, after rabid partisanship and a
predisposition to make ridiculous claims have
gone out OF the minds of men, it may be possi-
Bile to estimate and canvass the States vote.
AS it is at present neither national committee
has any positive no9ledge as to how New
York has gone. Every claim made is made ON
an estimate, and all predictions are predictions
and nothing more. Every afternoon paper. all
OF which are issuing extras almost hourly, con-
tradicts itself. AS to getting anything ike a
tangible idea of how the situation stands at
present out of the labyrinthine columns and
the figures furnished by news associations.
specials and committees, it is utterly impossi
Bile. There is no doubt that Cleveland must
have this State to be successful, and on that
fact the Democracy stand or fall. New York
has never been known to go SO wild over an
election. Stock Exchange business is practi-
cally suspended, also on all the exchanges.
One cannot walk on the sidewalk between the
City Hall and Wall street, and at the uptown
hotels and political headquarters immense
crowds fill the corridors waiting for news for
some stray CLEAN of hope for either candidate,
