WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 10.

Mr. DEPEw, who was at one time prom
inent capdidate for Mr.. Harrison's present
nosition, has Just returned from trip to
Europe. In England he says
Il met che nobleman, man OF great H.
telIigepce. who wanted tn see Harrison
President of the United States. Inc reason
he gave was that if the democrats were sue
cessfl they might put all ra" materials on
the free list, and then the American manu-
facturers could. he thought, manufacture
goods more cheaply than Englishmen anu
undersell them in their own markets.
II seems more than passing strange that
tbsre are people in this country to whom
what the Englishman referred to says' is not
90 o,an "a it is to him. The superior facili'
ties for manufacturing possessed by tnls
country would make it the great manufac-
Turing centre of the world if the tag on raw
material were repealed. With the tax on
.oa, material and machinery removed Amer
lean goods could compete successfully WIN
those of England in all the markets OF the
world; and the increased demand Iof amer
loan goods would create an Increased de-
mand for American isbor, anu 'nA'' VI
wonld necessitate the continuous employ
nent. and the increased price of such LABOR.

INDIANA.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov l0.-Oficial returns
from all the precincts show that Gen. Harri-
son carried the city of indianapolis by a
plurality of 1856, the vote being: Harrison,
1926; Cleveland, 1910. Blaine carried the
city by 625 plurality.
Official returns for Marion county, includ-
ing the city of indianapolis, give total vote
35, 112, against 1926, in 1884. Cleveland,
1851; Harrison, H. 1889; Fisk, 800; Street, 81.
Cleveland's plurality 37S against 226
plurality for Blaine in 1884.
1t is well settled that Gen. Harrison's plu-
rality in Indiana will be about $500 The
entire Republican state ticket is elected from
governor down to reporter of the supreme
court
The Second ward of indianapolis, Harri-
sons ward, gives Harrison 1850; Cleveland
$50. Same ward in 1884, gave Blaine 729,
Cleveland 800. Net Republican gain POO.
The Third precinct of the Second ward Gen.
Harrison's precinct, gives Harrison 345;

California is no longer doubtful state,
but has wheeled into line with her eight
electoral votes for Gen. Harrison. And the
news now comes uncontradioted that West
Virginia has gone Republican for the first
time since 1872. Harrison has 239 and Cleve-
land 1872 electoral votes The election would
be decisive without New York. The Repub-
licans will control both branches of congress,
BosToN, Nov. Z. - Massachusetts, gives
splendid majorities for the Republican
electoral and state tickets, and gives back
two of the four congressional districts which
are now represented by Democrats. The
election of Mr.. O'Neil in the Fourth district
had been conceded, so that the only district
lost by the Republicans in which a contest
had been made was the Third. There Mr..
Beard was defeated by Mr.. Andrew. In the
Second, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Ninth and
Tenth the Republican candidates, Elijah A.
Morse, Gen. Banks, Henry Cabot Lodge,
Gen. Cogswell and Joseph H. Walker were
elected in all cases with safe pluralities. and
in some instances with handsome majorities.
The result in Boston was substantially
Republican victory as Cleveland's plurality
was reduced to 5000 as against 1900 four
years ago. In the only instance in which the
whole of Suffolk county voted on contested
local Office, Elijah George, the present reg
lister of deeds, was reelected despite the DEM
ocratic majority which was expected to carry
the Democratic nominee into Office. The leg
isature as usual, will be overwhelmingly
Republican.
Massachusetts gave Gen. Harrison plu-
rality of 80 GOO Boston itself showed 1000
g., a,.-
ago.
Governor Ames does not come up with the
national ticket.
The prohibitory vote was greatly dimin-
ished from that of last year.
The Butler vote of 1884 made some curious
changes In some cases it went bodily over
to Harrison in others bodily over to Cleve-
land

from Merrimack county, and the result is
mixed The Republicans have probably
elected John P. Nutter, register of probate,
Charles H. Ordway, register of deeds, and
Reuben Z. Walker solicitor, all of Concord,
with the rest of the officials Democrats If
David H. Goodeli is chosen governor the
majority must be much smaller than il was
thought. Democrats claim that there is no
gubernatorial choice Should the latter prove
true, Mr.. Goodell will be elected by the legis-
lature. Goodells plurality is put at $50. The
legislature is Republican by 33 majority on a
joint ballot
The returns of the state senate indicate in
creased majority for the Republicans. The
following Republicans have been chosen:

Congressman Republicans.
HARTFORD, Nov. S.-There is no truth in
the report of an error in New Haven to
change the Connecticut result The state
goes for Cleveland by 1884
Three Republicans and one Democrat are
chosen to congress.
First district W. E. Simonds, Rep. Second,
w. F. Wilcox, Dem. Third, Charles A.
Russell, Rep. Fourth. Frederick Miles, Rep.
From The Courant's returns the total vote
of Connecticut is 1853, $40 for president. Cleve-
land has 74S54; Harrison 1880; Prohibition
4105; Labor ticket 1911. This makes Cleve-
lands plurality only 1874. A change of 1853
votes would have given the state to Harrison.
Every town in the Fourth congressional
district is heard from. The figures elect
Frederick Miles, Rep, by eight plurality in
a vote of Al 1854. Previous returns gave the
district to E. W. Seymour, the present MEM
Der. If the official count proves the correct
ness Of these figures Connecticut will gain
two Republican congressman instead of one
as previously reported.
The legislature will stand as follows:
Senate, II Republicans to Democrats;
house Of representatives, Isl Republicans to
9S Democrats. Republican majority on joint
ballot 63. Last year 81.

Depew Tells How Harrison Became The
Nominee,
New YORK, Nov. 9.-The Commercial
Advertiser publishes statement by Cheun-
cey NJ Depew, in which is given an account
of the inside workings of the Chicago con-
vention, which led to the nomination of Gen.
Harrison.
Depew says that when he determined to
withdraw, New York was much divided.
Finally fifty eight agreed ON Harrison and
twenty -four differed No amount of persua-
sion could convince them that Harrison was
the man to win.
Here was snag of large size. New York
wanted the honor of naming the president,
still 1t could not be the deciding factor in the
convention unless, after my withdrawal, il
would go solidly for some other candidate.
What did l dol
WE'LL l thought the matter over for an
hour, and then invited the delegation to
dinner. did not try to convince the recall
citrants. | simply gave them good things tc
eat and drink to enlighten their understand
ing.
Behold the result.
BY the time the dinner was ended every
mothers son of them was shouting for Har
rison. This result was largely due t.
speeches by Senator Hiscock, Warner Miller
ex-senator Platt and Senator Fassett, who
after the first conference, heartily supported
Harrison.
The rest is ancient history. New Yorl
voted for Harrison, and he was nominated
by reclamation. The dinner solidifed New
York's vote.
What's the matter with good dinner as
political factorl asked Mr.. Depew, laughing
heartily.

LIQUOR DEALERS KNIVES,
How They Sacrificed Cleveland in New
York State.

New YORK, Nov. 9.-The latest returns
make Harrison's plurality in New York state
12,7S7, while Hill, for governor, has II, TAO.
The results of the vote in this city, as re-
vised and announced semi-officially, enable
one by simple arithmetical calculation to
determine within few hundred the number
of mugwumps in this town. Cleveland's
plurality was 57,219, Hills was 6s,353 and
Jones' was u. 300.
The mugwumps supported Cleveland and
Jones, and opposed Hill. Jones was the
Democratic candidate for lieutenant COVER
nor, and his name was ON the same ticket
with Governor Hills, the two names making
up the state ticket.
On the other hand, the liquor interests Of
cepting two or three districts where the
tickets were given out with Coogan'- l. anne
ON them by Republican leaders who had
sold out to Hill
The difference between Hills plurality and
Jones' plurality is little less than 5000 votes,
or, more exactly, 1887 Making allowance
for 10 per cent. of the liquor vote going for
Coogan, the total Mugwump strength las
shown in the way pointed out by The Even
ing Post and Times before election) cannot
amount TO more than 1000 or 1900.
All through the state where Hills friends
are strongest he ran ahead of Cleveland In
New York the liquor men had a Hill organi-
lation Of their own, and made enough differ
nee in the vote to elect him without any
gains throughout the state. They were en-
couraged in their purpose by the state COM
mittee.

Tammany has swept everything in the
city. Tammany also elects all its congress
men so far as heard from. Cleveland, if beaten,
is beaten by trade and treachery in
New York city With the utmost vigilance
on the part of the Democratic managers they
could not foresee every little deal with every
minor candidate or ward hummer that was
willing to enter into deal or had the power
to deliver few votes for a consideration.
Coogans supporters were bought up wher-
ever found by various factions, and there is
no doubt that a great many union labor
voters voted the Republican electoral ticket
without knowing it.

Students Have No Rights in Boston.

BosToN, Nov. Quite an amount of ex-
citement was caused at the Institute of Tech
nology by the arrest of one of the senior
students by an election supervisor in ward
II. The young man claimed that he was Of
age and entitled to vote. When the young
man who was taken before the commissioner
presented himself at the polling place he was
promptly challenged, and as soon as he had
written his name on the back Of his ballot
he was arrested. This put stop to further
attempts of the students to get ballots into
the box They denied that, If wrong, they
were guilty of any criminal intent, having
believed the statement of politician that
they were entitled to the privilege.
