results showing a net gain of six votes
to a precinct. which if maintained
throughout would turn the State Re-
publican. This was hopeful, even en-
oouraging news. At least it proved
good news for the General to go to bed
on, for he got good nights rest, look
ing and feeling in excellent health aud
spirits. At o'clock the bulletins were
resumed, and seemed to set at rest all
doubts about New York. Coincident
with these later New York bulletins
there began to arrive food of con-
gratuiations and kilograms from all Sec
lions or the country.
General Harrison is very conserva-
tive about congratulations. He wants
to feel sure that he is out of the wood
before he permits himself to participate
in such proceedings. There are
great many callers at the house to-day;
in fact, neighbors came in and took
apparent possession. On the outside
there was quite crowd standing, gaz-

At 10 80 this evening the Democratic

and three or four assistants were en-
gagged figuring on the Legislative and
Congressional ticket. Mr.. Sheerin had
gone home. Chairman Jewett greeted
the Associated Press correspondent
pleasantly, and in answer to the sugges-
ton that he might have something TO
say regarding the political situation in
the State said: indications are that the
Republican electors have carried the
State. The official count may show diff
ferently, but the probability is that we
have elected part of our State ticket.
We have elected ten Congressman
against four. We have a certain ma
jority IN the State Senate of six. and in
the lower house of twenty, giving Us the
control in joint ballot. l don't care
to say about the methods by which this
was accom- plished."
