The PRESIDENCY UNCERTAIN.
Result Of the Presidential Election
Involved in Uncertainty.
Cleveland Thought TO Have Carried New
York, but 1t II Unsettled.

The following dispatches are the lat
est received in regard to the election up
to the hour of going to press with this
side of our paper.
From the Daily Pioneer Press
At a m. the returns arc not sufiicent to
warrant positive claims on either side In
the states not in doubt Blaine has secured
total of ITO electoral votes, and Cleveland
l41 Six states are more or less in doubt,
viz New York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Indiana, Nevada and Virginia OF these,
the Democrats claim New Jersey, Connecti-
cut and Indiana, and the chances are proba-
bly, rather in their favor. In Indiana,
however, there have been noticeable
Republican gains; but the returns
are too meagre to admit Of anything like
careful estimate. In Connecticut the Re-
publicans claim and the New York Sun con
cedes about $500 and the Democrats
3, 800 majority. Virginia is claimed by
Gov. Cameron and others to have certainly
gone Republican. The state press. however.
assert that Cleveland will have from 5000
to Z 1000 majority. In any event, the Repub-
licans have made large gains The
suit in New York, and everything is
in state of beautiful uncertainty.
In New York city Cleveland has a majority Of
43 ,os3 and in Kings county of Is, 239. Re-
turns from somewhat more than half the
districts outside of New York and Brooklyn
give Blaine plurality of q little
more than $4,000. This shows a
net Democratic gain of 1885. Should the
returns from the remaining districts equal
these, it is probable that Blaine would carry
the state by fair majority. In Ohio
the Republican majority is largely
in excess of that of October, and
total of 10000 is probable. Illinois is un-
doubtedly Republican, though Harrison ran
considerably ahead Of his ticket In
Massachusetts, the vote was closer than
was expected, and Butler made q surpris-
ingly small showing Later dispatches
claim that Tennessee is somewhat in doubt,
though this is scarcely credible. Nothing
can be learned as to the result in Nevada
New YORK, Special Telegram, SIS a. m,
Nov. 5.-Tke Sun says New York is undoubt-
edly Democratic by fair plurality. Accord
ing to the Sun. several states are in doubt,
with Cleveland chances best New Jersey
has gone for Cleveland Both sides claim
Connecticut, while Indiana and West Vir-
ginia are doubtful.
CHICAGO. Special Telegram, Nov. 4.-The
night editor of the New York Tribune has
Just telegraphed that neither party is war
ranted in claiming the state from returns so
far received but he still believes the Repub-
hcans have carried it by a small majority.
New YORK, Special Telegram, Nov 5,
1:45 a. m.-There does not seem any reason
able doubt but that Cleveland has barely
scratched through by the skin of his teeth
and beggarly plurality, perhaps smalle,
even than the St John vote, insignificant as
it was The Republican vote in this city
was almost twice as great as for Folger, and
10000 greater than for Garfield; but the
Butler party fell to pieces St John
barely reached 1000, and Cleve-
land got a majority slightly larger
than Hancock. Kings county also
showed the result of Republican disaffection,
and Oneida county the home of Conkling)
topped ever with Republican loss of
almost 5000. The Times will tomorrow
claim plurality of 1000 TO Is, OOO but it
will not probably amount to much more
than 10000. Merriman Independent Dem
ocrat with Republican endorsement is elected
to congress over Hardy Tammauy Demo-
craft in the Eleventh district which helps
the city delegation somewhat Grant, Tam
many Democrat, is elected mayor over Grace
County Democrat and citizens and Gibbs
Republican, by small plurality.
DECIDEDLY DOUBTFUL.
New YORK, Special Telegram, Nov. 5, 2 a
m.-The Morning Journal independently,
just issued, says it looks like Blaine, though
the vote in this state is very close, and
Blaine's plurality, if any. will not be more
than 8, 200, and probably less
2:1O a m-The Herald has just posted q
bulletin claiming there is a mistake Of TO-.
600 in the polls Of this CITY. md that re-
vised returns give Cleveland over So 900
plurality in this city.
NEW YORK, Special Telegram, Nov. 5, 2:2O
a incorrect returns give Cleveland
IS, 083 plurality in this city, and rs, 600 in
New York, Kings, Queens and Richmond
counties Garfield had Sc, 900 north of the
Harlem river, and it is not possible that there
will be sufficient gains in the interior to off
set this 5000 plurality. The New York
Times has Just hung out its first Cleveland
and Hendricks placard, and caused great ex-
element
NEW YORK, Special Telegram, Nov A.
The Tribune this morning says editorially:
AT the early hour at which our first edition
goes to press, the returns are too meager to
warrant any positive statement rs to the re-
suits Of yesterdays election. New York
seems to be very close, with the chances
against the Republicans. Connecticut close,
with the chances in our favor. From New
Jersey and Indiana the returns are still too
scattering to warrant any decided opinion.
But we have faith yet that the Republicans
will pull through The Republicans can lose
New York, Connecticut and New Jersey and
still elect their ticket by the aid of any one
Southern State. They have good hopes of
more than one"
CLEVELAND GETS THE STATE
NEW YORK, Special Telegram, Nov. A.
There is no longer any reasonable doubt that
New York will give the small plurality for
Cleveland indicated in my first dispatch
about TO- 600. The early returns indicated
large plurality, but the later reports helped
the Blaine pluralities The morning returns
swell the pluralitis; 1927 districts give
Blaine, 2S9, $50; Cleveland, 244,915; But
Ter, 7,776s and St John, Is, O89-a net Dem
ocratic gain of 1O,299. These, with New
York and Brooklyn, make up more than
three-fourths Of the state. The carefully
prepared and trustworthy tables Of
majorities made up in the Times have just
been revised, and they show Cleve-
land majorities Of 71,713, against
Blaine majorities of 61,716, leaving .
plurality of 1907 for Cleveland, or
barely two-thirds OF the St John vote, which
is double that cast for Butler. The Tribune's
own tables give Cleveland a plurality of over
1900.
