THE RESULT.

1t is impossible TO get the vote Of
Preston county complete with this
issue, although We hold the paper
two days TO do so. The heavy vote
and the number of persons voted for
make correct estimate of majorities
impossible this week. THE AR
Gus VIII appear early next week
with the complete official vote Of the
county. Our summary of majorities
is substantially correct. We give the
vote in detail for Presidential Con-
gress.

THE CHICAGO HERALD NOM
MATES HIM FOR 1892.
50 SAY VIZ. ALL Or ISI

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE Herald
tomorrow will contain an editorial
nominating Mr.. Cleveland as the stand
ard-bearer of the Democrats in 1892.
The Triumph of the Republicans, the
Herald declares, was accidental and
based ON misinformation, and its fruits
will speedily decay. "Grover Cleve-
land alone among modern Democrats
in high place." it says, "gave his par
ty an issue. He alone is entitled to
lead the host to victory. He stands
for the masses against the %classer. Re-
jected by the corrupt elements of his
own State, he is freed of all merely To-
cal restrictions. He stands and Mill
stand for an idea which is to triumph
when the Democracy shall triumph and
is to perish only when Democracy shall
perish. He will remain the Democratic
tariff reform leader. He will be the
nominee of his party, vastly augment
ed by that time, in the campaign that
is to come. He will be elected. Let
the good work begin now"

striking contrast with the quiet situa-
ton of yesterday. Cleveland has car
ried the State by a reduced majority.
The Democrats elect SIX Congressman,
the Republicans one, and three doubt
full, all of which are CLAIMED by the
Republicans.
NEW JERSEY.
New Jersey has settled sqarely down
in the Democratic column. Not only
have the Democrats given Cleveland a
majority of about 5000, but they have
captured the Legislature and held their
own on Congessmen The Fourth dis.
trict is very close, the latest figures Civ
ing Voorhees, but 107 plurality.
ILLINOIS.
AS there has been no doubt that the
State outside Cook county went heavily
for Harrison, though possibly by a
somewhat less plurality than for Blaine,
there wouldnow appear to be absolutely
no question, notwithstanding the great
gain for Cleveland in Cook county, that
the State is safe for Harrison.
OHIO.
Returns from Ohio continue to show
nearly the same ratio of Democratic gain
over Foraker's vote last year, when he
had a plurality of something over 3D.
600. The indications point to reduced
plurality for Harrison. Some experts
estimate it at 5000 to Is, Re-
publican congressman are elected in the
First, Second, Third, Seventh, Eighth,
Ninth. Eleventh, Twelfth, Fourteenth,
Fifteenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth,
Nineteenth, Twentieth and Twenty
first, making fifteen Democrats are
elected in the Fourth, Fifth Tenth,
Thirteenth and Sixteenth, making five.
The Sixth is in doubt, both sides
claiming an election.
CONNECTICUT.
The Connecticut returns arc now all
in and give Cleveland a plurality of
$50. For Governor, Morris, Demo-
crat, has a plurality of 1900 over
Buckley, Republican. The Legislature
is Republican by AZ majority on joint
ballot and will elect Buckley.
The Congressman are evenly divided
Simmonds, Republican, is elected in
the First district ; Wilcox, Democrat,
in the Second district Russell, Re-
publican, in the Third and Seymour,
Democrat, in the Fourth.
MICHIGAN.
The election of Wheeler, Rep, in
the Tenth district over Fisher, the
present incumbent, is concaded, and
is a Republican gain of three.
Should Whiting Dem, be reelected
in the Seventh, which now seems prob
able, the delegation will stand nine
Republicans and two Democrats. Ad.
ditional returns do not MATERIAL 5
change the vote for Governor. Luce't
plurality will exceed 10, 900 and Har-
riso's $4,000.

TARIFF EFoRM sTILLA AN ISSUE
THE PRESIDENT Attributes HIS DEFEAT TO
DEMOCRATIC DIsCoRD IN NEW
YORK CITY y STATE.
Special teIeg, nm 10 he Times.
WAsmINaroN, Nov. Z.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.
During the morning several promi-
nent Democratic politicians had inter
views with the President. They were
disposed to share the wild hopes of
Chairman Brice, but the President did
not encourage any UGH illusions. He
had given up the battle when he re-
tired soon after midnight. He had but
little to say in explanation of the re-
suit, He is fully satisfied, however,
after a careful analysis of the vote as
given to-day, that the defeat was not
to be attributed to his advanced posi-
ton on tariff reform, not to any mistake
in the administration of
public affairs, but solely to the party
dlscords in New York city aud the dis
turbed condition of the party through
out the State, due to factional intrigues.
AS the results appeared last ncght,
with New Jersey Democratic by a large
plurality, and Connecticut and Indiana
in the balance with Democratic proba-
bioities, party disorders in New York
are alone left to account for the defeat.
Under these circumstances the President
evidently feels he has no occasion to
feel himself responsible. Indeed he
intimated to a friend that the economic
issue, as presented, has been tested and
has been amply sustained by the popu-
Tor verdict wherever disencumbered of
factiontl disturbances.
