the figures from New York city are correct
Blaine will carry the state Mr.. Somerville,
of the Western Union still claims the state
by from 10000 to $4,000. The state is at
best exceedingly close, but the Republican
leaders here still adhere to the belief that
Mr.. Blaine has carried the state and country.
CHICAGO, Special Telegram, Nov. g.
Whitelaw Reid telearaphs rs follows: II
now believe we have carried New York by q
majority not far from 5000. Returns from
remote precincts are gradually bringing us
up believe that we also have Connecticut
and New Jersey"
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Senator Jonas, Of the
Democratic national committee, says there
is no doubt that New York State has given
Cleveland from $4,000 to $4,000 ma
jority, New Jersey 5000 and Connec-
ticut $500 Meager returns from
Indiana show material Democratic gains
over 1880, and Senator Jonas is confident
of Democratic majority in that state and
California He also hopes for Nevada
The Republican national committee
privately conceded New York state to Cleve-
land by 10000 majority. This was based
on returns from cities During the next hour,
returns from less populous districts made
considerable decrease in that estimate.
THE PRESS AT SEA
NEW YORK, Special Telegram, Nov. 5, $3.50
Z m--The press of this city seems pretty
well at sea on the result The Morning Jour
nal says in it's headlines: "Looks like Blaine,
but its returns are meager. The Tribune
says in it's first edition:
Blaine apparently has 1877 electoral vote
certain and Cleveland 1885, Eleven states cast
Ing 100 electoral votes, are in doubt, or have
not been heard from. New York is one Of the
states in doubt The early returns indicate
large total vote and large Democratic gains in
some parts Of the state. In New York
city the Democratic plurality is over $4,000,
and in Kings over $4,000. The Republicans
gain in Albany, Chemung and Monroe counties
The delegation in congress seems to be evenly
divided. each party having seventeen members.
The assembly is Republican by about twenty
eight majority"
The Times says:
The returns indicate that Grover Cleveland
has been elected president Of the United States.
II it shall appear that New Jersey has given him
the majority that scattering returns now seem
to show, and which the Democratic committees
positively claim. The State of New York will
give Cleveland from 9, 900 to 10000 plurality.
Clevelands plurality in Connecticut will be
about 1000 There is no indication that he has
lost any of the 1873 votes in the South hitherto
assigned to him. There is no conclusive news
from Indiana II we add to those 1853 votes
from the south, the SO votes of New York, the
votes of New Jersey and the 6 votes of Con-
necticut, the total is 2O4. A majority
of the entire number of electoral
votes is 2Ol. The returns from New
Jersey are very incomplete. but every
indications points to the success Of the Demo-
cratic presidential ticket in that state The Re-
publcans claim Essex county by only
oh snAi navn fir
gain of 1, 700"
The majority for Cleveland in this city, which
is AZ, 900 in round numbers, shows that the in
dependent vote was not as large as was expected,
or that it was Offset by Democratic treachery or
detection. The large majority Of $4,000 in
Kings shows that county Is well entitled to
the name given it of the stronghold Of the In
dependents" The fears that have been enter
tanned of break in the solid South through the
corrupt use OF money by the Republicans. have
not been justified by the result since that sec
tion, usual, will cast its entire electoral vote
for the Democratic candidate.
The Tribune, in its second edition, says
editorially:
We believe that Blaine and Logan are elected.
The states regarded safe for the Republican
ticket when our first edition went to press gave
1T 1877 electoral votes. There seems still no
reason to doubt in the case of any
one of the states thus enumerated.
We can now safely add New York and Wiscon-
sin. and thus bring the electoral votes secured
for the Republican candidates up to 2O4, or
three more than are necessary for cleo
/ tion. 1t is reasonably certain that IA more
will be added from the Pacific slope, while from
Indiana, New Jersey and the South, there is, and
at the hour Of writing. o'clock M, reason to
hope for more yet. All hail the Republicans!
NuNNE- OTA.
The result of the election in Minnesota
yesterday is source of qualification to every
Republican, and the indications are that tie
majority for the Blaine and Logan electors
will be much larger than was anticipated
by even the most sanguine. Returns have
been secured from nearly two hundred of
400 precincts, or about one-third of the
state. These show total vote of %, TAG
for the Republican electors, and 15, $50 for
Cleveland, majority of 10, SIG, being net
Republican gain over the vote of 1883
of $3.50. These returns have been
received principally from the Republican
precincts, but at the same ratio of increase
the majority in the state may safely be
placed at from 80, 900 to 40, 900 for the ma
tional ticket
THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS
In the congressional districts the result is
no less satisfactory, every republican men,
ber being elected by increased majorities, in
most cases exceeding even their own hopes
in the emphasis their victories In
the First district FIX II the thirty -one pre-
cincts heard from Mr.. White has a majority
of 749. This is but about one-quarter OF the
number of polling places in the district, and
with the comparative ratio of majority, and
the increase, Mr.. Whites majority might
be placed at 5000; but the returns from the
Democratic strongholds, in Winona and the
larger towns, will reduce the figures to the
vicinity of 1000 In the Second district,
Mr.. Wakeield's majority bids fair to reach
1000, with the ratio of gains, that gentle
man having double the number Of votes of
| his competitor in the precincts reported
| In the Third district Maj. Strait is ahead
of the national ticket, and in the twenty
four towns reported has majority OF
1,645, being gain of nearly one thousand
This is about one-quarter Of the district, and
| with like gain in the balance of the district
he will bury Donnelly under majority Of at
least 5000. The returns in the Fourth
district give Mr. Gilfillan a majority
of 2,O42, which, with the same ratio of gain,
and allowing for the disaffection in Mime
apolis, will result in majority of at least
! 1000.
In the Fifth district Mr.. Nelson will have,
as indicated by the returns, a majority rang
ing in the neighborhood of 1000 to 5000.

MILWAUKEE, Nov, Sat l o'clock this
morning but 30 of 200 towns and pre-
cincts in the state have reported They
