THE PRESIDENCY UNCERTAIN.
Result of the Presto entail Election
Involved in Uncertainty.
Cleveland Thought to Have Carried New
York, but 1t is Unsettled.

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. IN. the returns are not sufficient to
warrant positive claims on either side. In
the states not in doubt Blaine has secured a
total of 179 electoral votes, and Cleveland
14l. 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, Connect
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 a
careful estimate. In Connecticut the Re-
publicans claim and the New York Sun con-
cedes about $500 and the Democrats
8 800 majority. Virginia is claimed by
Gov. Cameron and others to have certainly
gone RepubliCaa. The state press, however,
assert that Cleveland will have from 5000
to 1000 majority. In any event, the Repub-
licans nave made large gains. The
great interest centers IN the re
suit in New York, and everything is
in a state of beautiful uncertainty.
In New York city Cleveland has a majority Of
43, OS3 and in Kings county of 1929. Re
turns from somewhat more b half the
districts outside of New York and Brooklyn
give Blaine a plurality Of a 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 a fair majority. In Ohio
the Republican majority is largely
In excess of that of October, and
a totaT of 10000 is probable. Illinois is IN
doubtedly Republican, though Harrison ran
considerably ahead of his ticket In
Massachusetts the vote was closer than
was expected, and Butler made a surpris-
lngly 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.-Tke Sun says New York is undoubt-
edly Democratic by a 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 Viz
ginia are doubtful

ranbed in claiming the state from returns so
far received, but he still believes the Repub-
leans have carried it by d small majority.
New YORK, Special Telegram, Nov. 8,
Ids a m.-There does not seem any reason
able doubt but that Cleveland has barely
scratched through by the skin of his teeth
and a beggarly plurality, perhaps smaller
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 over with a Republican loss of
almost 5000 The Times will tomorrow
claim a plurality of 10000 to 10, 900, 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 a small plurality.
- DOUBTFUL.
New YORK, Special Telegram, Nov. 5, 2 a
m--The Morning Journal independent,
just issued, says it looks like Blaine, though
the vote in this state is very close, and
Blaine's plurality, il any. will not be more
than 5000, and probably less.

bulletin claiming there is a mistake of 10.

The Tribune this morning says editorially
SAT the early hour at which our first editio
goesto press, the returns are too mcager t
warrant any positive statement as to the re
suits OF yesterdays election. New Yor
seems to be very close, with the chance
against the Republicans Connecticut close
with the chances in on favor. From Ne'
Jersey and Indiana the returns are still to
scattering to warrant any decided opinion
