When the train stopped at Missouri City

GOBMAN SAYS IT IN A LIE.
The Republicans Have Not Carried
New York.

INDIAYAroLis Ind, Nov. G-12 O'clock
The delay in putting out bulletins caused
some dampening OF the spirits OF the
faithful, but the following mani.
festo, issued by Mr.. Jewett, acted in
the nature of rcstorer: "The latest al
most reliable news from New York was c.
mans dispatch an hour ago, and the claims
of the Republicans that they have carried
the State is manifest lic."
All 1915 o'clock no new bulletins have
been issued, and the crowd is perceptibly
respondent An inquiry Of Mr. shcrin
elicits the information that they have
heard from but thirteen precincts
officially but these show net
Democratic gain OF 20, and that their private
dispatches are encouraging, so much 50 that
they feel that Indiana Is perfectly safe.
Calls by telephone as to 'IIow is she going?'
are not being enthusiastically answered, and
friends are not advised to bet.
At 1880 o'clock the Democratic managers
say they have heard from seventeen pre-.
cincts, which show net gain Of IO7 for
Cleveland.

nary. The estimate OF total vote of over
100, 600 in the city closely approaches the
whole registration, and far exceeds any vote
in the previous history OF this city. Rc-
turns were phenomenally slow, and at 1880
O'Clock p. m. but little over two-thirds of
the returns in the city had been received,
and not nearly SO much from the outlying
townships.
An analysis of the Cook County figures at
11:30 o'clock pm, and such returns from
the State as were at hand, showed, according
TO The Daily Nous, that while the State had
gone for Harrison bya reduced majority,
Gen. Palmer, the Democratic nominee for
Governor, was elected. This figuring was
based on the fact that Chicago city re-
turns then in gave Palmer lead of 1900,
an amount which it seemed could not be
made up in the State at large, as appeared
from the scattering returns. In nearly
every precinct in Chicago, Fifer the Repub-
lican nominee for Governor, ran behind his
ticket and in some sections of the city
he was mercilessly knitted by that portion of
the lalor element which supported
the balance of the Republican ticket. APP
parently the anti-Pmkerton cry raised by
Gen. Palmer had done its perfect work. The
dispatches received by the Associated Press
up to the same hour 1880 indicated that
the State had gone for Harrison by about
10000, and that Filer had been elected by
1000. In 1884 Blaine carried Illinois by
5000, and the Republicans elected their
Governor by about 1900.

yet very full Democratic vote was polled.

rifles" did not materialize. There
was quiet determination mani
tested by the Democrats to do what
was possible to overcome the enemy in a
fair fight and in fairway, and they did it.
All day the returns so soon as they COM

tcntion Of the passing crowd, which be-
came stationary after o o'clock, evening
and swcllcd in numbers until the
whole block between South Court
and Madison street on Second street,
was packed with dense throng who
hailed with silence or cheers the various
bulletins from the different States rs they
indicated gains for the Republican or
Democratic parties. The figures from New
York were watched for with broathlcs' in
tcrcst, aud every indication Of a gain for
Cleveland was greeted with prolonged
cheers Indiana was next in the col.
