in prices could in no way affect their posi-

no one house had monopoly OF liberality

NEW YoRK, Nov. u The Herald says:
'I'he political lesson of the election is is that
the supremacy Of the Democratic party has
been sacrificed to the ambition of David b.
Hill and Ahram Hewitt. A fact which
Democrats throughout the country should
lay to heart is that in this game of politics
their possession of the imperial patronage of
New York city is held to be of far more
Importance than the government of the
Union.n
''Returns thus far received indicate that
the tariff reform issue has proven strongest
in states hopelessly Republican. In Illinois,
Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska the Demo-
cratic ticket has made lar gains upon lines
foreshadowed In the recent tariff debate in
the house. These gains, though encouraging
have not been sufficient TO offset the Repub-
lican majorities in these states and have
therefore been of no material advantage to
the National Democratic ticket On the
other hand the tariff issue has not proven
strong in the doubtful states, particularly in
New York state.

county in New York state. The counties
carried by Cleveland give 1906 plurality

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7.-The chairman
of the Democratic state committee has sent
the following to the New York Herald:
"The returns as heard from indicate a
majority in the state Of from 5000 to 6,oOO
for Cleveland. WILLIAM d. ENGLISH"
NJ NJ Estee, chairman of the Republican
National convention which nominated Har-
rison for president, says the state has gone
Republican by from 5000 to 1900. He
bases this statement on unofficial returns
from the chairman Of the different county
committees throughout the state.
The Chronicle says; "Returns show that
the interior has been carried by the Republi-
cans by handsome vOte; that the victory
in the state outside of the city is complete.
Harrison has plurality of from 10000 to
IL, 900 in the interior In addition to this
splendid result the Congressional districts
outside of the city gave maiorities for the
Republican candidates"
The Examiner, Democrat, says: "The in
dications in California are more favorable
to Cleveland. There is hardly doubt that
the state is Democratic by good majority.
San Francisco especially has done magnih
Gently. Ii the ratios shown on first returns
be maintained, Cleveland will have 7,00

Republicans seventeen senators and the
Democrats seven. This is Republican gain
of four. The Republicans also gain in the

CHICAGO, Nov. with the returns from
several city precincts and country towns
still missing. it is impossible to give the
exact figures on the result in Cook county.
Gen. Harrison's plurality will probably be
less than 1900; while Gen. Palmer has run
SO far ahead Of his ticket that be will lead
Mr.. Fifer by $500 or more. The Republican
county ticket is probably elected without
exception.
The hundred and eighty five precincts in
the state give Cleveland 57,737, against SO,
39s in 1884, Harrison AZ, lO6, against 4O,9le
in 1884
All the morning papers concede that Har-
rison will carry the state by good major
ity. Some of them, however, claim the cleo
ton of Palmer, Democrat for governor.

HoUsToN, Tex, Nov. S-Shorty after
70 o'clock Monday an unknown crook en-
tered the jawelry establishment of Mr.. H.
Bente, on Preston street, and, by singu-
larly bold movement, secured tray full Of
diamonds set in different styles. 1t seems
that Mr. Bente was absent from his store at
the time of the robbery, and Chinese mer-
chant, whose store adjoins aud is connected
by an open doorway, was left in charge.
About the time of the robbery the China
mans attention was attracted by party
who priced some handkerchefs. The robber
was seen by couple Of Cinnamon from
their laundry, directly opposite. He went in
the store and, proceeding to safe, closed
but unlocked, opened it and secured a pocket
full of diamonds from tray, after which no
left with his booty, and made good his es-
cape.
When Mr.. Bente returned he found the
empty tray on the table in the reer Of his
premises and at once discovered his loss. The
police were notified and the deputy 10 now
