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 2 a M the returns are not sufficient 10
warrant positive claims on either side. In
the states not In doubt Blaine has secured a
total OF l79 electoral votes, and Cleveland
141. 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, n the chances are prcba-
bly, rather in their favor. In Indiana,
however, there nave been noticeable
Republican gains; but the returns
are too meagre TO admit Of anything like a
careful estimate. In Connecticut the Re-
publicans claim and the New York Sun CON
cedes about $500 and the Democrats
$500 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 1000 majority. In any event, the Repub-
licans have made large gains. The
great interest centers N the re-
suit in New York, and everything is
In q state of beautiful uncertainty.
In New York city Cleveland has a majority Of
3,OS3 and in Kings county of 1929. Re
turns from somewhat more than half the
districts outside of New York and Brooklyn
give Blaine a plurality of q little
moro than $4,000. This shows a
net Democratic gain of 1885. Should the
returns from the remaining districts equal
these, 1t Is probable that Blaine would carry
the state by a fair majority. In Ohio
the Republican majority is largely
in excess Of that of October, and
a total of 10000 is probable. Illinois is un-
doubleday Republican, though Harrison ran
considerably ahead OF his ticket In
Massachusetts the vote was closer than
WIS expected, and Butler made a 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, 3:15 a.. M,
Nov, 5.-The Sun says New York is undoubt-
eddy Democratic by a fair plurality. Accord
ing to the Sun several states are In doubt,

ginia are doubtful.
CHICAGO, Special Telegram, Nov. 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-
licans have carried it by a small majority.
New YORK. Special Telegram, Nov. s,

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 Ia very close, and
Blaine's plurality, If any, will not be more

bulletin claiming there is a mistake of 10.

New York, Special Telegram, Nov. A.
The Tribune this morning says editorially
A the early hour at which our first edition
gees to press, the returns are too meager Il
warrant any positive statement as to the re
suits of yesterdays election. New Yorl
seems TO be very close, with the chance
against the Republicans. Connecticut close
with the chances in our favor. From New
Jersey and Indiana the returns are still tot
scattering to warrant any decided opinion
But we have faith yet that the Republican,
will pull through. The Republicans can los,
New Eork, Connecticut and New jersey ant
still elect their ticket by the aid of any ONT
Southern State. They have good hopes O
more ttian one"
