Blaine's majority at 1000 in San Francisco, and

MICHIGAN.

DETROIT, Nov. 6.-Thsre is no doubt now
mat the Republicans have elected their State
and electoral tickets in Michigan. The De-
troit Free Press, (Dem.) still claims victory,
put BY very small puralities. The upper PEN
insula reports largely increased majorities for
tne hepublican ticket, which overcome much
OF the Democratic gains in the lower peninsu-
Ia. The Detroit Post (Rep.) claims the elec-
uon OF the Republican ticket by from 10, 600 to
io,U0O plurality. The exact result in all coz
gresslonal districts is not yet known, but it is
decided that the 1st, 9th, l7lh. 9Th, and 10th
erect fusion candidates, while the 81, 4th, 8 h
and lltb are Republican. The I'd and 9TH are
sui claimed by both parties.
Ihe latest returns indicate that Blaine has
majority OF 2,O00. The congressi onal delega-
ton will probably stand Fusionists and 8 Re-
pnblicans. The Republicans claim small
msjcrity in the legislature

SIGNS OF FRAUD DETECTED IN

New YORK. Nov 6.-Ths following has Just
been issued:
HEADQUARTERS REPUBLICAN NATIONAL
COMMITTEE, NEW YORK, Nov. g.
The Republican National Committee rejoIces
that the returns now received warrant it In
announcing tho triumphant election OF Blaine
aud Logan. The Republicans have carried
every Northern State except New Jersey and
Connecticut. Virginia seems, also, to have
given maj ,rity for the Republican cause and
ticket, and there is strong probability that
West Virginia has also. While other Southern
States are still in doubt the Northern States
alone, however, give to Blaine and Logan 225
electoral votes and insure them an election.
In New York attempts to tampsr With the re-
turns have olready been detected. The Re-
publican candidates have been honestly elected
beyond question and any attempl to cheat the
people and to defeat their will thus expressed
and resisted BY every law respecting citizen.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The Republican State
Committee has issued the following:
In view Of claims made as to the result of
the election in New York, the Republican
State Committee deem it our duty to announce
that while the vote is very close, returns and
estimates from most authentic sources justify
the belief that the people of this State have
cast plurality in favor of the Republicans.
We have received copies of official returns as
filed in the several county clerks offices in all
except II counties. Besides this we have
caused careful REORGANIZATION to be made OF
the returns forwarded to the police head
quarters in New York and Kings counties and
from the remaining counties we are procuring
direct information from most reliable sources
and feel justified in asserting with entire con-
fidence that the State has gone Redublican.

LONDON. Nov. 5-The STANDARD, arguing
upon The hypothesis that Cleveland is elected,
says:
The election would naturally imply the sweeping
alsplacement or those whose means OF livelihood
depend upon politics.
The Daily News, in an editorial upon the
latest advices from America that Blaine has
majority in New York, says that this result
must surprise his friends as much as his oppc-
nents. 1t says that Blaine fought tho battle
with an energy and spirit that even his oppo-
neDts must admire. Gladstone's recent efforts
in Scotland are almost insignificant compared
with the efforts of Blaine. Nevertheless the
gradual recovery OF the Democratic party from
the great depression Of 1868 encourages the
Democrats and alarms their opponents The
present struggle is simply d question of perso.
nal preference. The largen, IS of the vote is a
healthful sign OF the interest Americans take
in their politics.

AS this edition goes to press, the real sii iuation
appears TO be as follows: Cleveland is now slightly
leading Blaine in New York; Indiana will, in ali
probability, go Republican, and with that state
and with West Virginia. which also shows large Re-
publican gains, Blaine can be elected without New
York State. The Republicans do not give up the
state by any means; they claim it by least 1000.
They also claim both Indiana aud West Virginia,
and say they have more than fighting chance in
