New YORK, Nov. THE Tribune figures
out the plurality at 10,319 for Harrison in the

rality, and Hill 1882. 1t says the next

In Short This Mornings News is as

Later returns only serve to confirm the
news of yesterday, that Harrison and Nor
ton are elected. The Democratic national
committee are trying to let the Democracy
down easy by deluding them with false
hopes, or they are preparing some scheme of
fraud They claim that Illinois and Wiscon-
sin are doubtful as usual. Some large Demo-
cratic gains in Cook county are the easy
basis Of their claim with regard to the former
State, but they know the facts are that
their gains have been confined Ito that
county and they are 10000 short of what
would be necessary to overcome the Republi-
can majority of four years ago. Besides the
returns as far as received outside of Cook
county show Republican gains. Their claim
with regard to Wisconsin apparently has
no foundation whatever. 1t is 81 uply bluff.
unsettled, but with both conceded to Cleve-
land, Harrison is still elected by nine
plurality in the electoral college.
With regard to the vote of New York it is
highly probable that they are Matching up
some scheme of fraud, and are alleging that
the State is in doubt to gain time. APP
parently they have their eye on Brooklyn as
the most available place for funny business.
New York has gone Republican by 10000
plurality. The Democratic organs all admit
It, The figures conclusively show it. Repub-
licans may rest assured that the only result
of Democratic machination to steal it will be
to land some of the schemers in the peni-
tentiary. Harrison is elected President, and
If he lives, will be inaugurated on the fourth
day of next March. If all the Democratic
managers are attempting to do is to let their
crestfallen party down easy they are guilty
of nothing worse than folly. If they are
trying to steal the thirty-six electoral votes
of New York State they will have a very
Interesting time before they get through.
Since the above was in type Secretary
Sheerin Of the Democratic National Commit
tee has practically conceded Indiana to the
Republicans. One of the most surprising
disclosures of this mornings returns is the
election of Republican legislature in Del
aware, which ensures the Republicans gain
of q United States Senator. The Republi-
cans have also carried the legislature of
West Virginia, which ensures them gain of
another United States Senator.
