ELEoTIoN RETURNS.
VIRGINIA.

11.25 a. m-Two thirds of the
State of Virginia heard from give
democratic losses Of $500. Demo-
Gratis expect gains in portion of
the State not heard from, and claim
the State by from $500 to 4,500.
The democrats claim that the
counties not heard from will show
democratic gains. and give them the
State by from 5000 to 1000. Ifthe
present ratio of losses is maintained
Cleveand'e majority in the State
will not exceed 800. For congress
the first district is in doubt, with
chances in favor of republican; End
district, Bawden, republican is re-
elected. Bird district the democratic
majority is estimated at 500. In the
4th district Venable will probably
have a plurality over Langston,
negro republican, and Arnold. Ma
hone, rep, of the fifth district is in
doubt, with chances in favor of the
democrat. 9Th. Edmunds. dem,
snleio linn Ted 200. 7th. O'Ferrall,
see selected BY large majority.
The democrats are supposed to have
elected Congressman in the 9Th, 9th
and 10th districts.
RICHMOND, Nov. Later returns
indicate slight increase in the
democratic majority in the State.
Tne majority is being now variously
estimated at from 1900 to $500.
Further returns received from the
fourth or Peterburg district, favor
the election OF Venable, dem., over
Langston, negro republican. and
Arnold, Malone, rep. The returns
from Z counties in this district give
a democratic gain on the National
ticket of 1000 votes over 1884, and
the democrats expect large gains in
the remaining five counties of the
districts. Cannot get any further
news from the State tonight, but
there is ne reasonable doubt that
the electoral vote of the State is Sc
cure for Cleveland by from 1900 to
2 500 majority.
1890 .m.-Nothing definite from
Virginia, probably democratic by a
few thousand.
NEW YORK STATE.
BROOKLYN, Nov. THE Eagle
says Harrison has carried New York
State, and is elected President. 1t
give Cleveland 176 votes and Harri-
son 223 in the electoral college.
New YORK, Nov. THE Evening
Graphic says Harrison's plurality in
the State is about 5000. The Even
ing Sun places it at about 10000.
The Evening News makes it 4,450.
The New York Evening Post says
returns received this morning have
no reasonable doubt of the election
of the republican Presidential ticket.
Very little has been received from
the country districts; but there is no
reason to think at this writing that
the State will give a democratic plu-
rality.
The New York Commercial ADJ
vertiser says: Late returns indicate
the election of Harrison and Nor
ton. Hill is elected Governor by
about 10000 plurality. Indiana is
probably republican by a small
majority, and the republicans will
have a good working majority in
Congress. 1t places Harrison's
plurality in this State at 8,107.
1890 p. m.-Nothing to change
the indication that Harrison has
carried this State. Will give vote as
received from counties soon.
S2O precincts in Indiana give

937. Same in '84 gave Blaine III,
1876, Cleveland 1924.

counties out of 80 show a net re-
publican gain of 1855. The repub-
iican State committee claim that

5000 plurality. The democratic
committee claims it by from 5000
to 5000.
FLORIDA.
JACKSONVILLE, Nov. 7, 1890 p. m.
Florida gives Cleveland electors and
the democratic State ticket a ma
jority of something less than 5000.
Returns from precincts in in the ID
district come ip very slowly. Baker,
Bradford, Brevard, Hamilton, Lake
Madison, Marion and Orange coun-
ties give safe democratic majority.
6 other counties give decided re-
publican majorities. Careful esti~
mates places Bullocks democratic
majority at 1888. II will fall under
