Statement From Democratic Committee.
The National Democratic Committee
has issued the following statement: The
Democratic Committee today conccdc
the election of Harrison. When the
National Democratic Committee claimed
the State of New York on Tuesday even
ing by 10000 to 1900 majority the
figures of the returns then received fully
justified the estimate. The reports from
New York City and from large communi-
ties in the interior of the State showed
Democratic gains, and the first reports
from Brooklyn were to the effect that
the majority there WIS $1,000. The
Telegraph wires were very crowded, and
the transmission of the committees bul-
| lctin to the West was considerably de-
laycd. There is evidently n misappre-
henslon in some parts Of the West as to
the time at which this dispatch was
| sentn
Counting CALIFORNIA; Vote
FOrty-ope Thousand seven hundred
! and scventy-three votes out Of total
of $3.50 in San Francisco have been
canvassed. Complete returns have been
received from 775 precincts out of u
| total of $50 outside OF the City OF San
Francisco. The total vote counted in
the state, including both San Francisco
| and interior points, gives Harrison g3,-
| LIZ, Cleveland S5,O41, Fisk 3,s47,
Curtis 7j5. Sufficient returns have been
| received from the Third and Sixth Con-
gressional districts to show that Me

been reelected by safe maloritis. Re

a slight difference in the votes of the
Republican and Democratic candidates,
and it is probable that the result in these
districts will not be known until the
total vote is counted.
Republican Gains In Michigan.
1larrison's plurality in Michigan will
reach 22, 900 against 3,3Os for Blaine in
1884. This surprisingly large gain is
undoubtedly due to the return of the
Greenbackers to the old party lines. Foul
years ago the fusion vote of the State
wgS 1S0,361--the straight Democratic
vote being 40, $50 and the Greenbucl
vote al 400. The combined Greenbacl
and Union Labor vote of last Tuesday
will not exceed 5000. Comparatively
few counties have made returns on tn,
Prohibition vote, but st. Johns vote ol
1S,403 has been reduced nearly one-half
Luce, Rep, for Governor, will have {
plurality of about $500. He was bit
terly opposed by the liquor men, ant
ran behind in all the large cities.
Delaware's Republican Legislature.
The Wilmington, Del, Every Evcnine
says the official count is just completed
and shows the election of the entire Re
publican ticket in Sussex County by ma
iorities ranging from 40 TO 426. lhii
makes the next Legislature stand / 6 Re
publicdns to A Democrats, insuring tn
, election of a Republican successor I,
Senator salisbury, whose term expire
next March.
West Virginia Democrats Weaken.
Dispatches received last night from tn
capital of West Virginia announce tina
Dcmocratic State Treasurer Thompson

,, cans by from 400 TO roo majority. Thi
i is simply confirmation of the steady Re
S publican gains that have been coming il
to-day. The Republican State Comnitte
here claim the State by q much large
d majority. They clam to have at lcas
three and probably solid delegation O
: four Congressman. They claim maioriti,
for the electoral ticket and a majorit
in the Legislature The scene of the X,
publican enthusiasm in this CITY to-nigt
Ie is Unprecedented. Thousands of peopl
