HURRAH FOR BLAINE!
The Result Still in Doubt but Favorable
for the Republicans.
Thayer 1000 Strong---A Heavy Vote.


although much interest was mani
tested and an unusually heavy vot'
was polled. Returns from the countr.
at large are rather meagre, but til,
indications are that Blaine and Logan
have a majority of the electoral votes
The vote in New York was close but
the rural districts proved true to The
grand old party. Late reports give
the state to the Republicans by about
5000 majority. 1t is still claimed by
the Democrats and will probably re
quire the official count to determine
the result.
Wisconsin was at first reported
doubtful. but comes to the front with
an estimated Republican majority OF
10000 as the country districts are
heard from. The Prohibition vote is
not as large as was expected while
Butler and his rag baby are badly
distanced. The Republicans gain
largely in both the senate and the
house.
Connecticut was also at first classed
as doubtful but later returns concede
it to the Democrats by about 1000
majority.
New Jersey was reported as on the
dragged edge,' but last nights dis
patches were very favorable for a
Republican majority. To.days papers
concede the state to the Democrats by
a very small majority.
Even Ohio was claimed for Cleve-
land ON Wednesday morning by the
Democrats who appeared to want .the
whole earth and the fullness thereof,
but before night they willingly con-
cedod Ohio to the Republicans by over
5000 majority, large gain since the
October election.
Nevada is another of the reported
doubtful states which is now given
over to the Republicans, but the re-
ports are too meagre to give the prob
able majority.
Pennsylvania is solidly Republican,
giving a majority of 10000 outside of
Philadelphia city which swells the
grand total to $4,000.
Iowa rolls up her old-time majority
of 10000 for the Republican standard
bearers and reports gain of two con-
gressmen.
Colorado, California and Oregon all
give decided Republican majorities.
Maine honors the Plumed Knight
by larger majority than was given
the Republican state ticket in October,
probably 10000.
Massachusetts, where Ben Buffers
followers "snuffed victory in the air"
gives 5000 Republican majority.
Michigan gives Blaine and Logan
about 10000 majority and elects her
entire state ticket.
Minnesota is among the honored
galaxy and rolls up Republican ma
jority reported at 1000.
Illinois was holly contested by the
Democrats who hoped to elect Carter
Harrison governor, but the Republi-
cans have carried the state by nearly
81 900 majority besides gaining two
congressman.
Indiana is still in doubt and claimed
by both parties by small majorities.
Hendricks telegraphed it was sure for
5000 Democratic majority, but late
returns show that the Democratic can
didate is considerably off.
Vermont gives the Republican ticket
about $4,000 majority.
New Hampshire gives about 10000
Republican majority, the same as last
year.
Virginia is reported very close and
probably has given a majority for the
republican standard bearers.
Tennessee also looks shaky and may
possibly have given Blaine and Logan
a majority.
Georgia gives comfort to Cleveland
and Hendricks by her usual $4,000
Democratic majority, while several
other Southern states follow in her
wake by reduced majorities for the
party of free trade and the spoils of
office.
