The above table shows the situation at
the hour of going to press according to
the dispatches of the Associated Press,
which are the most reliable authority
we know of. The rumors that New
York Is in doubt are the
vaporiugs of the enemy. New
York is safely and surely for Harrison,
and 80 is all the Republican State ticket
probably except Hill for Governor. BY
the above table it looks as though Gen.
Harrison will have 225 electoral votes, or
twenty-four more than are necessary.
He failed to carry California and Con-
necticut, both of which were expected,
but carried Indiana and New York, win
ming them from the Democracy.
From the States in the Republican
column he could lose any one of the
States except New York or Pennsylva-
MIA, and still succeed. He could lose
Illinois, or he could lose Indiana, Colo
RADIO and Nevada-all States which have
been hoped for and claimed by the Dem.
ocrats, and still he would be elected.
He is elected and to be elected BY the
States which embrace more than three.
fourths of the education. the industrial
enterprise, the wealth, the commerce,
the literary power and the veteran sol.
diers of the Union, is an honor that will
grandly redeem the executive chair from
the faint of usurpation and support
that will give his administration
strength in promoting the true welfare
of the country.
1t is great triumph, won by an ap-
peal to intelligence and patriotism. And
it has not only redeemed the Presidency,
but the House of Representative also,
changing the present status of 1859 Dem
ocrats and l52 Republicans, to 1855 Re
publcans and 100 Democrats.
The change OF the House is almost as
good as the change in the Presidency:
1t makes the Legislative branch of the
Government unit for the first time in
many years, II can now revise the ia
rltt without destroying just protection,
1t can admit the new States, long since
entitled. 1t can accomplish something
IN legislation without interminable poll
tical discussion. Best of all, it can re-
assure the confidence of the country and
business can plant and build and grow
without the fear of cranks.
It is a great victory and we trust it
will put an end forever to the power of
that dangerous, degrading and revolu-
tlonary partnership Solid South
and the Solid Saloons.
Some of the vote in detail is here
given:
NEW YORK.
The unofficial vote of all the counties
in the State as far as returned shows
pluralities for Cleveland of 1886 and
for Harrison of 90, 149, giving Harrison
plurality in the State of II ,191.
Inc Tribune figures out plurality of
1873 for Harrison in the State, esti-
mates being made where authentic fig
ures are lacking. By the same means
Hill is given plurality of 16.414. The
Sun says that Harrison has II ,762 plural
ity and Hill 1889. 1t says that the
next House Of Representatives will be so
evenly divided between the two parties
that an official count will be necessary
to decide which is in the majority. Its
figures show that Indiana gives Harri-
son plurality of about 1000.
INDIANA,
Indiana is claimed by both sides; but
the most trustworthy definite informa-
ton seems to justify placing the State
under the Harrison banner, Eight hun.
dred precincts in Indiana give Harri-
son 1913, 140; Cleveland, 120.719. The
same in 1884 gave Blaine 116, 534, and
Cleveland ia 554.
The Daily Evening Nelcs says THE
Republican Committee claims to have
returns from 80 counties. either official
or verified showing that Harrison would
carry the State by 5000 plurality. Gov.
Gray, for the Democrats, claims that
the State is Democratic by 600. Score
tary Sheerin Of the National Democratic
Com mittee claims the State by from
5000 to 6000
The Indianapolis Journal has returns
80 counties, showing gains for Harrison
OF 1910 and for Cleveland $50, and $500
Republican majority on the National
and State tickets.
Secretary Sheerin of the Democratic |
National Committee said late to night
that it looked now as if Harrison had |
carried the State, but it would require |
the official returns TO determine.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Returns from all but "a towns and |
wards in the State give Harrison, 43, 1859;
Cleveland, 40,421; Fisk, 1852; Goodell,
Republican, for Governor. AZ, 1913; Ans
den, Democrat, Al, 040; Carr, Prohibition
ist, 1924. Harrison's plurality will be
about 2240 and Goodell's about $50, leav-
ing no choice,a majority being required.
As the Legislature is Republican, Goodell |
will be elected. The vote is the largest
ever cast in the State, aggregating near
ly 10000. Alonzo Mute, Republican, is
elected to Congress over Mckinney,
Democrat in the FIRST District by about
800; Orren q. Moore, Republican, over
Mann, Democrat, in the Second District,
by about 1000.
CONNECTICUT.
The State goes for Cleveland for about
$50. The Congressional delegation will
have two Republicans and two Demo-
Gratis.
Returns from every town in Connec-
ticut show a total vote for Governor of
153. 542, Of which Bulkeley, Republican,
has 1896; Morris, Democrat, 1901.
will be elected by the Republi-
can Legislature.
The Hartford Courdnt returns make
the total vote Of Connecticut 1853 $40 for
President; Cleveland, 74,954; Harrison,
"a, $50; prohibition. 4105; labor ticket,
1911. This makes Cleveland's plurality
only 1884; and a change of 1853 votes
would give the State to Harrison. II
The official count proves the correctness =
Of these figures, Connecticut will gain
Two Republican Congressman, instead of
1ne as previously reported.
MASSACHUSETTS,
All but two towns in this State give 6
Harrison, 1888 447; Cleveland, 151, 300; 1
Fisk, S641. The gubernstorial vote is .
Ames, 1S0, 499; Russell, 152, 846; Earle, [

OHIO.
The two State Committee are still re-
,eiving returns from the State and figur- Q
