HARRISON ELECTED.
Tippecanoe's Grandson Chosen Presi-
cent.



The Vic DRY Was Won In Now York State.
Under the heading of Tariff Reform De
ferred" the New York Times says
Harrison and Morton have been elected
president and vice president Of the United
States. The majority for the republican
candidates in the electoral college will be
one vote less than that cast in 1884 for
Cleveland and Hendricks. Harrison has
carried New York, Indiana, California,
Michigan and Colorado, al Of which have
been regarded as debatable states. The
majority in this state for Harrison will not
be far from 10000. In Indiana II will
be very small but in Minnesota,
Iowa and Michigan, where the interest
manifested in the tariff question was
relied upon TO effect "a considerable change
in the vote the republicans have developed
their full strength, and obtained pluralities
for the national ticket much larger than
those cast for Blaine in 1884
Connecticut gives a small majority Tor
Cleveland, and shows marked democratic
gains in the manufacturing towns where
the question Of tariff taxation has been
constantly and thoroughly discussed during
the long campaign New Jersey, state
greatly interested in manufacturing, not
only more than doubles its democratic ma
Jorty of 1854, but chooses a legislature
that will elect democratic United States
Senator to succeed Mcpherson.
Chairman Huston of the Indiana republi
can state committee announces that dis
patches from all parts Of the state Indicate
that the state has gone publican by safe
plurality, and he has not received single
dscOuraging report from any quarter. In
dianapolis has gone wild claiming Harri-
sons election certain
The Chicago Tribune says: Gen. Harri-
son has carried the state OF Illinois by at
least 10000 majority and it may be more,
while Private" Eifer has been chosen
governor by majority not far from 10000.
IN Cook county the vote on governor is
close, and it is not probable the majority
either way when figured out Will be large.
The Cook county returns when complete
will show majority for Gen. Harrison OF
probably 1000, whereas Mr. Blaine's ma
lority four years ago in the county was
h,622. The returns from this state, outside
the county, show republican gains, and
this, on the average, Will tend 10 compen-
safe for the losses suffered in Cook county.
While the congressional are neces-
Earilv meagre, they show effect that the
republicans will havo control of the next
house, by majority of % votes.

bly, exceed $1,000
