SPEAKING Of the close vote in New
York. where Cleyeland's plurality will
probably not be much over twelve hun
dred, the Philadelphia Times royives rec
elections Of other close contests that have
occurred in the history Of the Nation.
After referring to a number of very close
g~ubernatorial contests, the Times says;
In 1910 Pennsylvania cast her electoral
vote for Harrison over Van Buren, by $40
majority on the official count. Van
Buren, was President; his defeat was not
yet assured, as other States had not yet
voted, but no shrek of fraud came from
che discounted candidate. then welding
the whole power of the nation. The vote
was counted and Icerti6ed without a muir
nur.
In 1874 the electoral vote Of Tennessee
was cast against Polk and Clay on apopu-
BAR majority Of il3 by the official count
It was Folks native State, and pride in
the candidate and party interest combined
70 make the struggle almost unexamped
In desperation; but no yell Of fraud was
heard; no ballot thief was employed by
the Polk committee to cry fraud and then
hunt for or invent it, but the vote was
computed without the attempt at trckery,
techuieality or wrong, and President Polk
~niAnfully aoquiesced in the loss Of his
State BY Il3 votes.

The Ohio Fight.
No OTHER FIELD WITH so MANY ADvAN-
TAGEs FOR THE DEMoCRACY,-MosEY AND
FRAUD Could NOT SAVE THEM.
New York Tribune Correspondence !

New York Tribune Correspondence
In no other doubtful State can the demo-
Gratis make such fight as they have made in
Ohio. They had advantages here which they
will not have in New York or Indiana. They
had the prestige of two successive victories
and the possession of all the State official ma
chinery, and the counting of the vote was in
their hands. They were united and harmo-
NOUS, as they are not in New York. and they
had in great measure the support of the
liquor interest. The stagnation of business
is greater here than in New York, many I'M
fortunate men being out of work in the coal
and iron districts. No effort was spared to
attribute the prevailing distress to the republi
can party, while the men whose wages were
reduced through the most INSCRIPTIONS men,
dacity were made to believe that Mr.. Blaine
was responsible for it. The embers of dis
content in the mining districts were famed
into open riot by the misrepresentation
of the democratic leaders. Independent"
orators and the money of the faction were of
assistance to the democrats. That party
never had so much money before for use IN
any State. Every dollar that it could raise
was turned into Ohio and preparations were
made for extensive frauds In Cincinnati.
/ Hamilton, Springfield, Columbus and other
cities hundreds of democratic deputy sheriffs
were placed about the polls. Only in Gin
cnnati did the republicans have the assis-
lance of United States deputy marshas, and
/ they were overawed by the police and deputy
sher ifs. Altogether the democrats had many
/ advantages here which they will have in no
other doubtful State. and after all they were
defeated by at least 1000 votes in the larg-
est total vote ever given in Ohio
| In the cities from which they expected the
most their overturning amounts almost to a
revolutions and that notwithstanding gross
democratic frauds in several wards in Cia
| cinnati, Hamilton and Springfield. Against
all the advantages on the democratic side,
the republicans have achieved great vic
tory. The Cincinnati Enquirer says that
"all concede that the tariff has done it,"
There is no doubt that to the straightforw ard
and able advocacy of protective tariff more
than TO anything else may be attributed the
heavy republican vote. The democrats dealt
in only ISLANDERS and misrepresentation. Mr.
Blaine's presence in the State had a highly
beneficial effect. Wherever he made
speech the republicans made gains. and
wherever Carl Schurz made one of his
slanderous addresses the democrats lost votes.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1884-10-18

Thirty-two members have now been
elected to the next House Of representa-
tives, almost one-tenth of the whole num-
Dor. They have been chosen from Ore
gon, Vermont. Maine. Ohio and West
Virginia. In the present Congress these
five States are represented by fourteen
republicans and eighteen democrats. The
result in all the congressional districts OF
Ohio and West Virginia is not definitely
determined as yet. but it appears safe to
conclude that the former State has chosen
thirteen republicans. and the latter one.
So that. with one tenth of the Congress
men chosen, the republican strength is in
creased from IA to twenty-ene. and the
democratic strength reduced from eighteen
to eleven-a pretty significant pointer as
to the political complexion of the Forty
ninth Congress.
