Connecticut, New Jersey and Indiana
are Democratic BY safe plurslities, and
there Is reaeon to expect that later re-
turns from Illinois will make that state
extremely close, If they do not actually
put it in the Democratic column. In the
returns ttus far received We cannot con
cede the elsetion CT Harrison.

The Tribune says editoriallv: The

the prospect strongly favors victory for

Cleveland below the Harlem river, instead
