BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 5-The different news
paper Offices are surrounded by large crowds
eagerly scanning the bulletins as they appear.
There is a feeling of great uncertainty as to the
result in the State. At Demoeratic headquarters,
Blaine's majority, outside Of New York and
Kings counties, is placed at $4,000, while the
claim is made that New York city and Kings
county will give Cleveland the State by 5000.
These latter figures are based on private tele-
grams. There is a feeling of great uncertain ty
among the Democratic leaders, and but little
enthusiasm is manifested at Republican head
quarters.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 5-owing TO rain all

from. The Republicans made a gain of 300 in
the Knoxville, but the Democrats made gains in
all the counties in East Tennessee. In this 1.-THE
Secondl congressional district, Mr.. Houk, Re
publican, is re elected to Congress by a de-
creased majority. In the First district, A. Fl.
Pettibone. Republican, is reelected by a greatly
reduced majority. The remaining eight con-
gressmen in the State are Democrats.
Governor Bate does not run behind his ticket
in East Tennessee. The Democratic candidates
for Railroad Commissioners run behind their
ticket in this end of the State. The election
was the G~uietest ever known here.
The following Republican congressman are re-
elected in this State: Pettibone in the First dis
trict; Houck in the Second, and Taylor in the
Tenth. The rest of the congressional delegation
is Democratic. The Democric majority in the
Legislature is considerably reduced. Bate, Dem

duced majority.

Receiving Returns.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5-Last night the
State Department officials invited the
members of the diplomatic corps to
listen to the returns from the elections In re-
Spouse to the invitation, a number of the
diplomates at present in the city, visited the
in the returns. AS the dispatches were received
over the wire, Mr.. John Davis read them to the
guests in French aud English, and, in spite of
the usually immobile features of the represent
atives of the the foreign governments, the salts
faction with which the returns predicting
the defeat of the candidate for the
presidency who would be likely to make his
administration purely American was apparent
on all sides. The Hon. Lionel Sackville- West,
representing her Majesty's government, could i'll
conceal his satisfaction over the supposed cleo
ton of Cleveland, and he smiled more urbanely
than ever when a dispatch was read stating that
Kelly claimed a majority for Cleveland of so, 900
in the State. Representatives of other foreign
manufacturing countries were equally pleased
when it seemed probable that the party of free
trade had won the day.
This afternoon these diplomatic gentlemen
have watched the returns received at the clubs
or privately, with keen disappointment, and now
that it appears conclusively that Blaine is elected
their joy has departed, and they have settled
down to the conviction that for four years, at
least, American citizens and American products
will he protected.

The cause of the fire cannot be determined, and
as our informant left Carrollton this morning,
particulars are very meager. Mr.. Strongfellow,
however, says the fire was the most destructive

information about the upper peninsula, which is
a Republican stronghold, but the indications are
for great Democratic gains there.
Before midnight the Democrats still claim the
election of the State ticket, but make no claims
on the national ticket. Blaine electors are
probably elected, but it is not yet decided. The
Republicans claim that he has the State vote

RICHMOND, Nov 5.-Fuller returns are moro
encouraging to the Democrats, and they claim
that the Cleveland ticket is elected by not less
than 5000 majority. The Republicans still
stand to their claim of from 5000 to 5000 ma
jority for Blaine.
Official and semi official returns from ffty-nine
counties and all the cities of Virginia give Cleve-

many large Republican counties, and indicate

MICHIGAN.
The Vote Close and Doubtfu1-Defeat of Mr..
Horr.

Horr.
DETROIT, Nov. 5.-Very little additional has
been received from Michigan this morning. 1t
is believed the Republicans have elected the
presidential electors. The fight for Governor
between Begole, Fusion, and Alger, Republican.
will be very close, with both parties claiming
the victory. For Congress, the Fusionists elect
representatives in the First, Fourth, Sixth and
Seventh-an Democrats. The Republicans elect
in the Second, Third and Ninth. The Fifth is
in doubt, but there are strong indications of the
election of a Democrat in the Eighth. Horr's
district is still undecided, but has probably gone
Fusion. Nothing additional from the Legisla-
ture.
The Eighth district has gone Democratic,
although the figures are not known. r. q.
Horr, Republican, is defeated by Tarsney,
Fusionist. The Republicans coneede Tarsney a
majority of 500 and the Democrats claim l 400.
The latest reports received in this city show
increased Democratic gains in Republican coun-
ties. If the present ratio Of gain be continued,
the State will be decidedly Fusion for electors
and probably for the State ticket. The Demo
Gratis claim the Second district as doubtful,
instead of Republican. and the Fifth as Demo
cratic instead of doubtful Returns are coming
slowly. The upper peninsula. strongly Repub-
lican heretofore, has been cut down greatly.
The latest report on congressman gives the
Fusion ticket six, all Democratic, as follows:
Maybury in the First, Comstock in the Fifth,
Winans in the Sixth, Carleton in the Seventh,
Tarsnev in the Eighth, and Fisher in the
Tenth. The Republicans elect three-ODonnell
in the Third, Cuteheon in the Ninth, and Moi
fat in the Eleventh. The Second district will
need the full returns to decide, as it is very
close; the Fourth is reported for both parties,
and the reports are so contradictory that it is
impossible to tell what the result will be.
DETROIT, Nov. 5.-Returns from Michigan in
regard to the fusion vote may be somewhat con
fusing. The Republican vote is in full on the
leading candidates. To get the full fusion vote
on President it is necessary to add the vote
given separately in the bulletins for Cleveland
and Butler, If the vote Of the State is decided
for the fusion ticket, as seems prob
able at this writing e 7. NJ Cleve-
land will receive six electoral votes
Butler 6, and l goes for Blaine. In voting, the
Greenbackers and Democrats voted for the same
men for ~ electoral places, and for different
men on the thirteenth place, which allows a
chance for one Blaine %elector. 1t was desired to

and Democrats, and hence the vote was sent

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The following in the

''The Democratic majority for Cleveland in

congratulation to the sterling Democracy, must

Republican mannikins who struck him down and
sent him into retirement placed a Knife in the
jugular of their party. The Republican organi-
cation in this State has been without a leader
since he heroicaIly walked out Of the
Senate into his law office, and no man
has come forward to fill his place.
The party leaderless, nerveless, and satiated
with corruption, has drifted upon the rocks of
disgrace and disaster. Mr.. Conkline is as proud
always as he is great in the Consciousness of
honesty and integrity and incorruptibility, but
he has a right to feel prouder to-day than he
ever felt in his life. as the wreck of the Repub-
to say now that, as the Republicans turn in
shame from the false and disastrous leadership
of James G. Blade. they will stretch forth their
arms to Roscoe ConkIing, the only man who
seems able to aid them in this hour of calamity.

The Herald says:

the independent vote was not as large as was
expected, or that il was offset by Democratic
