ALBANY, n. T., Nov. THE Erening
Journal comedies the election Of Cleveland.
It says: There seems to be no longer a
doubt that Governor Cleveland has been
elected President. Every county has sent
in its full vote and careful verifcation of
The results assure Gov. Cleveland plurali-
" of about l, 900 in the State. The vote
will not vary 200 on either side of these fig
ures. New York gives Cleveland enough
votes to elect him. The Journal has devot-
e all of its energies toward securing another
result, and it now reluctantly states that
the election has been decided differently
from its desire, because it believes that the
prompt recognition of the will of the major
i:y is essential to the maintenance aud pres
ervalon Of American institutions. So long
a. The people OF the United States have de-
cided to transfer the federal administration
to the democratic party, we are glad that
the decision has been made in favor of
democrat from New York State. Pride in
the Empire State which has furnished only
QUE president to the United States Mar
tin Van Bureu, in 1S3G-undoubtedly gives
to every citizen of the State bias in favor
Of his fellow citizen.

and Indiapa-2l9 electoral votes.
