General Harrison will succeed Mr.. Clevc-
land in the Presidency. dispats from
the New York Times CInd.). wuich has
heretofore refused TO surrender the State of
New York to the Republicans. admits that
Harrison has carried the Empire State,
that Hill DEM is elected Governor, and
that there is no doubt Of the election Of
the Republican Presidential candidate.
The latest report from Indiana, in addi-
tion. says that Chairman Jewett. of the
Democratic State Committee, conceded
that his State had been carried by Harri-
son by 1900 plurality.
Connecticut has closed all doubt with a
small plurality for Cleveland plurality
being ample for that purpose-but the
Connecticut Governor, who must have

Legislature, md the Legislature is Repub-
lican.

not been changed ia effect by late returns

Legislature Of that State as claimed,
Republican successor of Kenna will be
chosen.

tariff would be reduced more than either the
