NEW YORK. Nov. San extra Of
the Telegram just out says: The air
has now cleared so completely that the
presidential vote can be fairly seen.
Harrison, as our friend, Sam Cox,
would say, is thoroughly elected in
every respect. So sweeping indeed has
been the victory that his majority in
the electoral college will be at least
sixty five. He has carried not only
New York, but Indiana, Wisconsin and
California by safe majoritieS, accord
ing to the latest returns. In other
words he is elected president without
the vote of New York. This settles the
case beyond all possible dispute, and
shows the size of the demo-
cratic defeat. The White House
being disposed of the only other points
gress. If, as now claimed, the Della
ware legislature is republican on joint
ballot, the republican party will have
working majority of one in the senate,
without the vote of the Vice President,
Mr.. Morton. II West Virginia is
gone TO the democrats, the matter is
only worse of course and this is not
improbable. The house Of rep
resentatives is remarkably close.
The Herald, Sun and World agree that
the majority is very uncertain either
way. The Herald figures out a major
ity Of two for the democrats (163 to
1917 on very incomplete returns. The
Star says that reports from 313 out of
1926 congressional districts give demo
Gratis 165, aud republicans 14S, leaving
twelve districts in doubt with good
chances Of continued democratic con-
troll of the house of rep
resentatives. The New York Times
figures democratic majority of three,
while the Philadelphia Times, indie
pendent, exactly reverses these esti-
mates, giving three to the republican
party. Mr.. Mcpherson, the republi-
can clerk Of the house of representa-
tives, estimates the republican major
ity at seventeen, and the Tribune ac-
cept these figures. The Press reaches
the same result, no doubt adopting
McPherson's figures. The democratic
losses have exceeded the republican
ones apparently and the democrats
have only a leeway of fifteen seats in
the present house. 1t will take the
OF cial count to settle the question. II

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-UndeF thu
heading of Tariff Reform Deferred,
the Times this morning says Harrison
and Morton have been elected presi-
dent and vice president Of the United
States. The majority for the republi
can electoral college will be less thar
that cast in 1884 for Cleveland ant
Hendricks. Harrison has carried New
York, Indiana, California, Michigan
and Colorado, all of which had beeI
regarded as debatable states. The ma
jority in this state for Harrison vii

will be very small, but in Minnesota
