The Savannah tribune. [volume] (Savannah [Ga.]) 1876-1960, 1888-11-10
NEW YORK.

Cockrell Mr.. Cockrell is managing ed
itor of the World. Harrison's plurality
in New York state is eight or ten thou
sand, and he is undoubtedly elected. The
Sun. The Times says indications are that
yet give the state to Cleveland. The
Tribune claims the Congress Repub-
lican by twenty-five majority.
Again the presidency hangs on the slen-
der thread of few thousand votes in
New York state. The Democrats are
confident in their claim that Cleveland's
majority will not be less than 5000.
These are narrow margins, but they rep
resent the situation. New York gives
Cleveland 55, 900 majority, and Brooklyn
adds 10, 900, which, with Queens and
Kings counties majorties, gives Cleve-
land not more than 70, 600 south of the
Harlem. Blaine came to the Harlem
with GO, 900 majority. Garfield had a..
900. If Harrison does not Go better than
Blaine, he loses; if he does as well as
Gar0eld he WINS He has made strong
and unexpected gains in some portions of
the interior of the state, but in Others he
has fallen behind and for this reason it
is hard to estimate the result in the coun-
ties not vet heard from. 1t will take
close count to decide the question. The
plurality for Cleveland below the Har-
lem river instead of the so, 900 or IS, 600
confidently expected by Democrats, APP
pears to be only about 10000. Outside
of New York and Kings counties the
Republican gain have thus far been steady
with each additional report of the cleo
ton districts. In New York and Kings
counties the plurrlity for Cleveland, with
Kings compile and New York nearly
complete, appears to be not more than
81, 800, and four years ago the plurality
against Mr.. Blaine in those counties was
IS, 1893. The Democratic gain in these
counties is, therefore, only about 8, 900,
out Republican gains of 8, 482 have been
reported in precincts embracing about
one-fiIth of the remaining vote of the
state. The majority for Harrison in the
state would exceed 1900, but if tie
gains on four ffths yet ~unreport-
ed of the vote outside of New
York and Kings should be only
double the gain on the one-tifth reported,
Harris on would still have safe plurality.
The bureau of election in New York

the electoral ticket rs follows: Harrison,

Cleveland 1853. 457, Blaine, 1913, 552; St.
John $500 The very latest on We'd
nesday morning from Clark Howell, OF
the Atlanta Constitution says: Harrison
has carried New York. He did it after
most of the city bulletin boards were
deserted and the thousands of eager
spectators had gone home, satisfied of
Clevclands election The late returns
from the interior of the state settle the
result and give the electoral vote of the
state to Harrison over a man, who few
years ago received in the state the larg-
est majority ever given a candidate for
governor in any state"
NEW YORK FOR HARRISON.
New York's majority is about Is, 900
for Gen. Harrison.
VIRGINIA.
Returns came very slowly. The dis
tricts unotficialy heard from show Dem
ocratic gains in the colored counties.
while the Republicans show gains in the
same ratio in several of the white cOun-
ties over the vote in 1884. Cleveland's
majority in Richmond city, is 1912.
Wises majority for Congress is 1920.
Wise's majority in this (the third) dis.
trct is estimated at 1000. The vote in
the first congressional district is very
close, and the district is claimed by both

IOWA
There was large vote polled. Harri-
son run considerably ahead of the state
ticket in Des Moines vicinity. The
railroad men generally voted for Demo-
cratic railroad commissio toner's. Several
Democrats of the city were arrested for
distribution of suspicious ballots. The
state Republican ticket is probably car
ried by Is, 600 to 20, 600.
NORTH CAROLINA.
Scattering returns from various parts
of the state indicate that the state has
gone for Cleveland by about the same
majority as in 1884, about 1900. In
dications are that the Democrats are
elected in all the districts except the
first, second and fifth, from which sufli-
cieut returns have not been received 20
