ELECTION returns received up to the
morning of the 9Th left the result on the
National ticket still in doubt, both sides
claiming success with equal pertinacity.
Connecticut and New Jersey were conced-
ed to the Democrats, the pivotal States be-
ing New York, West Virginia and In
diana, in which it appeared the official fig
ures would be necessary to determine the
result beyond peradventure. In the mass
of contradictory dispatches received it was
utterly impossible to arrive at a definite
conclusion.
UP to the morning of the It'll returns
received indicated that New York
had gone for Cleveland and Hendricks.
The Republican managers, however, still
claimed to have carried the State. The
majority claimed on either side was so
small that the revised count will be neces-
sary to definitely determine which side has
reallr won the race. If it proves tina
Cleveland has been successful in
New York he will have 219 electoral
votes. The excitement attendant upon the
receipt of thu delayed returns in the prin-
cipal cities during the day and even
ing of The 6thSwas of the most intense
descriptions. md paly the wise precautions

THE political situation up to the MORN

election of Cleveland and Hendricks was
still confidently announced by the Demo-
Gratis on the basis of their returns show
ing that he had carried the State of.
New York, thus giving him 219 electoral
votes. On the other hand the Republican
managers continued to claim the State

fetal count. Meanwhile the Democrats are
celebrating the victory they claim all over
the country, and the National Democratic
Committee have issued manifesto calling
upon their partisans to sees that they are
not robbed of its fruits by a repetition of
ZIG. Partisan feeling was at a high pitch
in all the principal cities, and only the
most conservative action of the cooler
heads in both parties has prevented serious
collisions.
