TEE LATEST BULLETINS
Prom the "Oresonian" OF Nov. 7th

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 7-l0:3O A. NJ.
-Four hundred precincts in Indiana
Harrison 81, G07, Cleveland 52,l76.
NEW York, Nov. 7.-Nothing later
than the morning papers, which gives
the state to Harrison.i
New YORK, Nov. Tn a 4:3O
A. NJ, postscript the Herald has a
special from D. Z. English OF San
francisco claiming = majority Of 5000
10 5000 for Cleveland in that state.
Also special from John c. Campbell
. Chicago claiming the state for Palmer,
and stating the electoral ticket is in
doubt.
Also a special from Columbus, in
which Judge Thurman is credited with
these utterances II see that Brice has
sent out dispatch saying that New
York has gone democratic by $4,000.
The returns do not bear him out in this,
and I cannot see the object of sending
out such news. From the figures We
have here, after correction, I estimate
that tho republicans have certainly
carried New York by at least 10000.
In fact, it looks as if the people of the
United states have decided that the
tariff is not tax, and they are arbitra-
tors in this case. If they have decided
80, nobody will acquiesce in their decis-
ion more quickly than l."
"What is your estimates as to Obi"
awe have received full returns from
about $50 precincts, which show an
average democratic gain Of ct to The
precinct. II wo should raise q, .e average
- Aoa 10 -. 40 precinct We should carry
the state. The precincts heard from are
largely city and town voting places and
Ne. expected to make our greatest gaius
In the country, so there is no telling
what will happen yet. At best the
republican plurality will not be 10000,
and 1 believe il will not be 5000. I
tell you if the national committee had
listened to US and had done as Brice and
Townsend::aud I wishedethem to do We
should have carried them. But they
not only gave US no money, but they took
from US money that we had collected.
It is a great mistake and has lost US the
election"
"You give up the election, then :" !
asked.
II do, We are defeated"
CHICAGO, Nov. THE Tribune
presents table Of electoral votes which
gives Cleveland 1862 and Harrison 239
It says editorially: "The battle hal
been desperately fought, and to-day tn
republican party is on its old campaign
ground, from which it was driven fou
years ago, and has como to stay.
"The republicans lost the fight fou
years ago because the campaign wa
forced upon them as personal one, ant
because it was characterized by detrac
lions, ISLANDERS and libels. This time ,h'
battle has been fought upon principles
The democrats have faced republicanisn
instead Of Mulligarism, issues instead o
inveotives, facts instead of ISLANDERS ant
they have gone down before them
They have tried desperately, but incl
feetively to put the conflict upon cid
Issues and personal complications, bu
they have been resolutely held to tn
merits Of the contest. They have bee
kept squarely at the front aud have bee
whipped"
The Tribune figures the next Senat
republican by 50; democrats, 81; on
state to hear from. House, republican
175; democrats, $50.
New YoHK, Nov. THE Wsrl
further says, editorially, referring to tn
result: "The chief reason for this di.
aster is the want Of adequate prepara,io
for meeting the main issue. Eleve
months were not time enough in whic
to eulighten the mass of thinking voter
educated for full generation in Ii
belief that taxes promote prosperity, an
that tariff regulates wages, Apprecia
ing enormous power of resistance in tn
inertia Of ignorance, the World que
toned last June whether the preside,
had not, in precipitating this issue .
near to the beginning of an active eau
paign, done the right thing at the wror
time We commend his courage, b,
doubted his discretion. Had the ISIS,
been forced a year earlier it is u
probable that the errors and sophistri
and bugaboos Of the projections
could have prevailed against the pla
need Of the country for reduction
taxes through reform of the tariff.
