NEW YOgK, Nov 5.-New York was wild
with excitement Tuesday night both up
town around the hotels and down IN Printing
House square, and wherever bulletins of the
election result, were displayed. As the dis
patches indicated close vote and the proba-
biiitioS of success veered from one candidate
to the other people seemed to become crazed,
and bets Of the most reckless character were
made Cheering and shouting everywhere
aboundei. The drilling rain seemed to
have no effect upon the enthusiasm of the
crowds, and it was vesy late when the streets
became comparatively quiet, the people hay
ing reluctantly retired, still uncertain of the
general result
OF the 1000 districts north of the Harlem
river | .5D4 have now been heard from, and
they show gain over Garfieid's vote of 9G7l
votes for Cleveland This is better than the
reports in the o'clock special of The New
York Times showing a gain of 7,912 over the
Garfield vote. This last report about re-
moves the last hope of the Republican man
ayers, who argued that if Blaine kept up to
the Garfield vote in the outlying districts he
would pull through.
The SUMS edition considers that the re-
turns greatly improve Cleveland's chances.
The a. m. edition of The Times lowers its
previous estimates, and on very complete re-
turns gives the state to the governor by
1919 plurality Cleveland has carried
New York, Kings, Queens, Suffolk, and
Richmond counties, comprising the terri
tory below Harlem river, by G3,000 over
| Blaine North of Harlem river Garfield had
Il ,O0G over Hancock There are 800 pre-
cincts north of Harlem river; l,04 of them
| have been heard from. They show Demo
cratic gain over Garfield's vote OF 1862
about to the precinct. If the same ratio
Of gains continues, and there is
every reason to believe it will, Cleve-
lands gain over 1881 in the whole / 1893 pre-
cincts will be $1,000 This would Leave
Blaine $4,000 less plurality than Garfield
had north of Harlem, or $1,000. As Clevo
land has G3,000 below Harlem, the indica
| electoral votes of New York STATE
by G000 plurality. If the Democrats
| make no gain at all i'll the 700 precincts moi
| heard from the state will be about tie But
! as the reported precincts comprise one-hal1
! of the state, gathered from all sections, they
show the drift Enthusiastically and are sufii
| GENTLY definite for calculation Rarely arl
! such indications reversed.

THIRD DIsPATCTf.-Th Commercial-Ad
yertise?, $50 edition, says; At the hour o
going 10 press it may be said that the rresi
Dental election is more in doubt that it ha
been at any time since the polls closed. Ney
York is very close with prospect of y SINAI
plurality for Blaine Nothing definit
is known Of New Jersey. That state
as well as Virginia, is claimed by thD
two parties. The elements OF uncertaint,
are many. Later raturns may SATISFACTORY
settle the question, but at this writing
looks as though the official figures would b
necessary to delermi:le the result of the elo,
ton.
FouKTH DISPATCH. - Latest reauEn
from New York state, outside G
New York and Kings county, sho1
1852 election districts already reported iron
that section of the state. The average Re-
publican plurality has been as nearl
rs possible So in each. If the 5G4 di.
tricts yet to hear from retain the sam
average plurality they will yield 1874
plurality for Blaine. This, added t
the AZ, 93S plurality shown by those alread
reported will make a Republican plurality
exclusive of New York and Kings counties
of G9,G1S The Democratic plurality in Me-
York county is, according to the latest con
putation, T., 7S6, and that of Kings county
1852. 1t appears therefore, that the Dem(
cratic plurality of 57,93S will be overcon
with upwards Of 1000 to spare by I'll
plurality with which Blaine comes to HarleI
river This is contingent on the return
holding out as favorably for the Republican
as they have done up to this time in IL
state at large As matter of fact, later /,
turns have been more favorable. Countit
in which lacking districts chiefly lie are A
bany, Allegheny, Cattaraugus, Cayugl
Chautauqua, Chenango, Clinton, Delawar
Duchess, Essex, Fulton, Hamilton, Herllime
jefferson, Madison, Montgomery, OntaTi
st. Lawrence, Schenectady, Schoharie, Stel
ben, Sullivan, Tompkins, Ulster, and Yves
