and New jersey
NEW York, Nov. 4.-Senator Jonas, Of the
Democratic national committee, says there
IL no doubt that New York State has given
Cleveland from $4,000 to $4,000 ma
jortty, New jersey 5000 and Couuec-
ticut $500 Meager returns from
Indiana show material Democratic gains
over 1880. and Senator Jonas IL confident
Of Democratic majority in that state and
California He also hopes for Nevada.
The Republican national committee
privately conceded New York state to Oleve-
land by 10000 majority. This was based
on returns from cities During tho next hour,
returns from less populous districts made q

THE PRESS AT SEA.
NEW YORK, Special Telegram, Nov 5, $50
4 m.-The press of this city seems pretty
well at sea on the result The Morning Jour
nal says in it's headlines: sLooks like Blaine. {"
but its returns are meager The Tribune
says in it's first edition:
Blaine apparently has 1877 electoral vote
certain and Cleveland 1875. Eleven states, cast
Ing 100 electoral votes, are in doubt, or have
not been heard from. New York 1s one of the
states In doubt. The early returns indicate .
large total vote and large Democratic gains In
some parts OF tho state. In New York
city the Democratic plurality is over $4,000,
and In Kings over $4,000. Tho Republicans
! gain In Albany, Chemung and Monroe counties.
The delegation In congress- seems to DO 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 been elected president Of tho United States
II it shall appear that New Jersey has given him
the majority that scattering returns now seem
to show. and which tho Democratic committees
positively claim. Tho State of New York will
give Cleveland from u, 900 to 10000 plurality,
Clevelands plurality In Connecticut will be
about 1000. There 10 no indication that he has
lost any of tho 1873 votes in the South hitherto
assigned to him. There is no conclusive news
from Indiana If we add to those 1853 votes
from the south. the SO votes of New York, the 8
votes of New Jersey and tho 6 votes of Con-
necticut, the total is 2O4 A majority
! OF the entire number Of electoral
votes Is 2O1. 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
1880 majority. which indicates . Democratic
gain Of 100"
The majority for Cleveland In this city, which
| is 1000 in round numbers, shows that the in
dependent vote was not az large as was expected.
or that 1t 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 tho result, since that Sec
ton. As usual, will cast its entire electoral vote
for the Democratic candidate.
! The Tribune, in it's 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
1t 157 electoral votes There seems still no
reason to doubt in the case of anv
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 2O4. or
three more than are necessary for cleo
ton. 1t Is reasonably certain that Ii more
will be added from the Pacific slope, while from
Indiana New Jersey and the South, there is, and
at the hour Of writing, o'clock a. H.. reason to
hone for more yet. All hail the Republicans!
1"NE oTA.
The result of the election in Minnesota
yesterday is source of qualification to every
Republican, and the indications are that IL e
majority for the Blaine and Logan electors
will be much larger than was anticipated
by even the most sangu1ne. Returns have
been secured from nearly two hundred of
1,4OO precincts, or about one-third of the
state. These show total vote of 25, TAG
! W fh:a RcnV1 III 4 =
Cleveland, majority of 10, SIG, being net
Republican gain over the vote of 1888
of $3.50. These returns have been
: received principally from the Republican
precincts, but at the same ratio of increase
the majority in the state may safely be
placed at from 81. 900 to 4O,OOO for the ma
uonal ticket
THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS.
In the congressional districts the result is
no less satisfactory, every Republican men,
. Der being elected by increased majorities in
most cases exceeding even their own hopes
In the emphasis their victories In
the First district ii oli the thirty-one pre-
cincts heard from Nh: White has a majority
of 749 This is but about one-quarter of the
number of polling places in the district, and
with the comparative ratio of majority. and
the increase, Mr.: Whites majority might
be placed at 5000; but the returns from the
Democratic strongholds, in Winona and the
larger towns, will reduce the figures to the
vicinity of 1000 In the Second district,
Mr.. Wake6eld's majority bids fair to reach
1000, with the ratio OF gains, that gentle
man having double the number of votes Of
his competitor in the precincts reported
! In the Third district Maj. Strait is ahead
of the national ticket, and in the twenty
four towns reported has majority of
1915, being a gain of nearly one thousand
This is about one-quarter of the district, and
with like gain in the balance of the district
he will bury Donnelly under majority Of at
least 5000. The returns in the Fourth
district give Mr.: Gilhllan q majority
of 2,042, which, with the same ratio of gain,
and allowing for the disaffection in Mime
apol1s, will result In majority of at least
1000.
In the Fifth district Mr.. Nelson will have.
as indicated by the returns, a majority rang
! ing in the neighborhood of 1000 to 5000
