What tho New York Papers Find TO
Say About Nc.

NEW York, Nov IA o'clock extra
OF the World SAYS "At Z o'clock the
probabilities are that Gen. Benjamin Iar-
rison, OF Indiana, has been chosen Presi-
dent OF the Nation, and Mr.. Levi T. Nor
ton, of New York, Vicc-Prcsident The
returns thus far received indicate that the
tariff reform issue has proven strongest in
the States hopclessly Republican. In
Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska
the Democratic ticket has made large gains
upon the lines ioreshadowed in the recent
tariff debate In the House. These gains,
though encouraging, have not been suili-
cient TO Offset the Republican majorities in
those States, aud have, therefore, been Of
no material advantage 10 the National
Democratic ticket. On the other hand,
the tariff issue has not proven strong In
the doubtful States, particularly in New
York.
The Democratic members OF the Ways
and Means Committee have been re-
elected. They represent solidly Demo
cratic districts in the main, however,
| though there can be no doubt Of the pop
ularity OF the tariff issue among their con-
siituenls From the latest advlces it is
| probable that the Republican gains In the
South aud East viii exceed all expccta-
tons. A careful compilation OF Congress
sional returns received nj this hour would
indicate that the Republicans will control
tue next House by from eight TO ten ma
iority.
The returns from the States Of Texas,
Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, Georgia,
West Virginia and Indiana will be ex-
aminod with special interest aside from
..l.as al 81 Il
contest or the straight Congressional fight.
From these States come tue membofs Of
the famous Ways and Means Committee
OF the Fiftieth Congress, who formulated,
and, after ono OF the most remarkable
contests on record, succeeded in passing
the Mills bill, a measure framed upon the
lines laid down 10y President Cleveland In
his notable tariff message sent 10 Congress
In December last.
The Ercning Poa says 'The returns
received this morning lcaye no reasonable
doubt OF tho election OF the Republican
Presidential ticket. Very little has been
received from the country districts Of this
state, but there Is no reason nc this writ
ing TO think that the full returns will give
Democratic plurality. Indiana is still in
doubt"
In an editorial on the result Il says at
IN unnecessary 10 10 beyond the city OF
Brooklyn 10 lind the proof Of that Mr..
Cleveland was beaten in the State OF New
York not because a majority Of the voters
condemn his policy on tnnd reform, but
because n majority OF the voters would not
sustain for the Presidency party which
nominated man like David H. Hill for the
Govcnonhip."
