NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. November An extra
of the World Dem says: At O'Clock
the probabilities are that General Ben
3 jsmin Harrison, of Indiana, has been
chosen President of the nation, and
Levi P. Morton, of New York, Vice
President. The returns thus far re-
ceiyed indicate that the tariff reform
issue has proven the strongest in the
States hopeIessly Republican-Illinois
Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska. The
Democratic ticket made large gains
upon the lines foreshadowed in the re-
cent tariff debate in the House. Thes g
gains, though encouraging, have Nc t
been suf1c Gent to Offset the Republican
msjorities in these States, and have,
therefore, beer OF no material advan-
tage to the national Democratic ticket.
On the other hand, the tariff issue has
not proven strong in doubtful States,
particularly New York. Democratic
members of the ways aud means COM
mittee have been reelected. They re-
present solidly Democratic districts IN
the main; however. though there can
be no doubt of the popularity of the
tariff issue among their constituents.
From the latest advices, probably the
Republican gains in the south and east
will exceed all expectations. A care
full compilation of the congressional re-
turns received at this hour would ind
cate that the Republicans will control
'Sthe next House by from eight to ten
majority.
The Tribune says: The House of
Represen, stives in the Fifty-frst Con-
gress will be Republican by twenty to
twenty-five maj ority. The indications
are that this may be slightly increased.
The New York delegation will stand
eighteen Republicans to sixteen Demo-
Gratis. In Connecticut the Republicans
gain two Congressman. In New jersey
they lose one. Some notable gains are
recorded in the south, in Louisiana and
Arkansas, and in the west in Missouri.
The Times says the Democrats will
have majority in the Fifty first Con-
gress somewhat larger than in the Fiji
tieth.
The opinion formed last night which
gave the State Of New York to Harri-
son, Republican, for President, and to
Hill, Democrat, for Governor, was con-
firmed by Letter scattering returns. The
districts yet to be heard from cast in
1884 a totsl'of 364, $50 votes. Reports
by counties indicate a further gain of
1900 for Harrison. II the scattering
preci- ) not heard from keep up the
drift SHOWN IN the adj joining precincts
heard from, Harrison's plurality will be
from 5000 to 10000, and Hills about
10000
Sunset Cox is reelected.
The following are the headlines of an
extra to the EUening World: "Forlorn
hope. It looked as if Illinois might
Ia.
mora and more Republican. You may
as we'll call 1t President Harrison.
The Telegram says: $50 far the cleo
ton of Harrison stands recorded as
next to certain. New York has shifted
to the Republican column and made
his victory certain, if other States re
main as they were in '84."
The EUeEing Sun says: 1.-THE latest
dispatches indicate that the election of
Harrison is assured beyond question"
Corrected returns received from
counties in the State so far increase
Harrison's plurality to 10000. Vague
dispatches have been received from
Indiana, and so far as they indicate
anything, they point to Republican
gains. Whatever doubt was raised by
the reports that Illinois had gone Dem
ocratc was dissipated by the latest
dispatches frolA Chicago, which say
that the Republican electoral ticket has
a plurality OF not less than 10000.
In Connecticut the vote is so close
that the official count may be neces
sary to decide the contest, as has
been the case in that State several
times before. The unofficial re-
tulns received from all but four
small towns give Cleveland a plu-
rality Of 450. It is probable that be has
carried the State by less than 500 votes.
The World says:a. Chairman Brice
refuses to concede Harrison's election.
He has not yet conceded New York
State.
The EUenjng Post says: Returns re-
ceived this morning leave no reasonable
doubt OF the election of the Republican
ticket. Very little has been received
from the country districts of this State,
but there Is no reason at this writing to
think that full returns will give a Dem
ocratio plurality. Indiana is still in
doubt. In an editorial on the result, it
says: 1T is unnecessary to 90 beyond
the city of Brooklyn to find proof that
Cleveland was beaten in the State of
New York, not because the majority of
the voters condemn his policy on tariff
reform, but because a majority of the
voters would not sustain for the Presi-
dencv a party which nominated man
like David B. Hill for the governorship,
The Commercial Advertiser, Demo
cratic, headlines are: --latest returns
