Harrison's election. Precinct No. 4. in
Center township, Marion county, out
side this city, reports Republican gain
of 81. So far Republican gain of GA is
Shown by the three precincts in this
county that have been heard from. A
report from Harrison county-Judge
Gresham's home, says the Democratic
majority has been reduced over 200, but
no figures are furnished. Thirty pre-
cincts in Indiana show net Republican
gain of 575. At this rate the plurality
for the Republican ticket Will be over
$4,000. Republicans at the committee
rooms now claim the state by $4,000.
DEMOCRATS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC.
AT Democratic headquarters the
crowd is in state of hilarious enthusi-
asm over the latest reports from New
York. They are singing and shouting
whats the Matter With Grover?'
Hes All Right" The hopeful feel
ing seems to have grown to one
of security. One gentleman remarked:
when German sent message like that
we knew she's all right" And the
crowd thinks likewise. At Dalton's
the sa me scenes are being enacted, and
the crowd has gone wild. Messrs. Jew
EFT. Sherin and others of the Democrat
ic committee are shut up in private
room, and none but the Democratic
''true bluef' are admitted. Mr. Jewett
will make no statement. excepting that
he has private advices from six counties
in Indiana which indicate material
Democratic gains. Chairman Huston,
of the Republican state committee,
says that Indiana will increase her
representation of Republican congress
men by two and possibly by four. At
present there are seven Republicans
and six Democrats. Not a single re-
turn has yet been received by the com
mittee upon the vote for president. The
Journal, John c. News paper, will
claim the election of Harrison and of
the Republican ticket in Indiana.

CALIFORNIA.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.-There were
between LOO and 1900 voting precincts
in this city and state four years ago:
that number has now been increased to
1,766, 176 of which are in this city.
Owing to this change it will be impossi-
BILE to compare to-day's votes by pre-
cincts with that. of four years ago,
owing to the remoteness of a great
many precincts. and also to the state
law, which requires that all names upon
each ballot shall be counted at one
time. 1t is probable that correct esti-
mate of the result of the election can
not be formed until tomorrow morning.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 6.-Returns
from fifty-fOur precincts outside of San
Francisco give Harrison 1,772, Cleve-
land 1,727. The same precincts in 1884
gave Blaine 1,19S, Cleveland 1,O74. NJ.

tional convention, estimates that from

publicans will carry the state by from

SUMMED UP BY THE SUN.
Dana's Figures Give Harrison
the Empire State.


NEW YORK. Nov. Ga midnight ex-
ira of the Sun says: The returns, SO
far as received, make it seem probable
that Harrison has carried New York
state by from 1000 to 10000 plurality.
Cleveland has polled handsome vote
in New York city, his plurality being
not far from 81, 900. but he has not held
his own in Kings county. His
plurality there is about 11O0U,
which is loss of about 1000
in 1884. From the state above the Bronx
river the Republicans in almost every
section show great gains. If the pro-
portion now received keeps up, Harri-
son will come to the Bronx river with
from $4,000 to $1,000 plurality. AT this
hour, however, the most favorable Rep
ublican returns are cuStOmarily re-
ceived, and later returns will be likely
to reduce that plurality somewhat.
However,, unless there is decided
change from the report of gains now
secured, Harrison will come to the
Bronx with over $4,000 plurality. We
cannot now figure at over 72,C00
or. $4,000 plurality for Cleveland
in the city and Kings county.
No decisive returns have yet been re-
ceived as to the governorshIp, but the
indications are that Gov. Hill has been
reelected. He runs ahead of Cleve-
land in all quarters that have been
heard from. The vote on the local
ticket has been only partially counted.
but so far it indicates the election of the
Tammany ticket. Of the so-called
pivotal states the latest reports from
Connecticut indicate the election of the
Harrison ticket by from 800 to 1000.
The later returns from New Haven may
cut this down somewhat. New Jersey
is Democratic by about 5000.

Speciul to the Globe.
New YORK, Nov. THE Herald this
morning says: At the hour of going to
press with our first edition the probabil-
tiles indicate the eleti0n of Gen. Harri-
son to the presidency. This opinion is
based upon dispatches received from
all the states in the Union. and
which may be divided as follows:
Cleveland Alabama, Arkansas, Con-
necticut, Delaware, Florida. Georgia.
kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missis-
sippi, Missouri, New Jersey, North
Carolina, Tennessee. Texas, Virginia
and West Virginia-16S. Harrison

Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,

Necessary to elect pol.
Conceding the votes OF Connecticut and
New Jersey to Mr.. Cleveland, and re-
garding Indiana, California and Nevada
as doubtful, Gen. Harrison has major
ity III the electoral college. The figures
show the election of David B. Hill as
governor, and of Hugh j. Grant as
MAYOR. Mr.. Hill has made a
strong canvass. The nomination
of Mr.. Hewitt had the effect
which his supporters principally intend
ed namely: The defeat of Mr.. Cleve-
land by division of the Democratic
forces in New York. The politicalles-
son of the election is that the national,
supremacy of the Democratic
party has been sacrificed to the
ambition of David B. Hill and
Abraham Hewett and the fact which
Democrats throughout the country
should lay to heart, that in this game of
politics, their possession of the imperial
patronage of New York city is of more
Importance than the government of the
Union.
RECEIVING THE RETURNS.
New YORK, Nov. 6.-Broadway in
front of the Herald Office and Printing
House square is jammed with thousands
of cheering and silent persons, who are
watching with eagle eyes the bulletin
boards in front of the various newspa-
per offices. Returns seem to be most
pleasing to the Republicans, as the
crowds in front of the offices of the
Mail and Express and Tribune are
doing the most cheering. The crowds
III front OF the Herald and World Offices
are more silent, while those in front OF
the Sun are enthusiastic over the bulle-
tins posted by that paper. which
all indicate the election of Hill. An
extra edition of the World was issued
at $50, and the character of is news
can best be judged by the following
headlines: "Counting. Cleveland far

AT HARRIsoN's HOME.

Republicans Smile as They Re-
ceive the Returns From New
York.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 6, II p. m.-FOr
an hour OF more there has been sea-
son OF gloom over the apartments Occu-
pied by the Republican state central
committee, which was only ended by
the receipt of the New York Suns tele-
gram to its correspondent here that
Cleveland had been defeated in the
Empire state. Only few of the braver
spirits had maintained their faith in
Republican success there. Just as this
was received the first precinct in
indianapolis reported = from the
Twenty-fourth ward, Democratic
stronghold, showing a gain of
ten for Harrison. At this the
crowd. which stood patiently
since z O'Clock and had increased con-
stantly, was inspired to renewed enjoy
ment Of the situation and the tumult
was very great. The proportion of
gain shown by the first ten precincts in
Indiana, if uniform all over the state,
would just about wipe out Cleveland'S
plurality of 6,531 in 1884, indicating
A DEGREE OF CLoSENESs
that is very uncomfortable to the poll
ticians. Chairman Huston to tine Asso-
ciated Press reporter again as
serted his belief that Indiana is reliably
Republican. There can be nothing
definite said respecting the congress
sional delegation. Strong claims are
made in the First (Evansville)
district, and the election of
Posey Rep.) is believed by Mr.. Huston
to have been accomplished. The re-
election OF Mr.. johnson in the Eighth
(Terre Haute) district by an increased
plurality is also expected. Mr.. Huston
asserts his belief that the Republicans
have elected eight congressman, with
chances of success in three
other districts. On the basis of
gains shown by the returns from twenty
precincts the Republicans will have a
plurality of about $500 in Indiana. Poll
ticians in the room were at odds re-
specting the result on New York, a
number of them incliniDg to the belief
that it had given
CLEVELAND A PLURALITY.
Hon. John G. New, of the national
committee, firmly asserted his belief
that it had gone for Harrison, and that
the official count would show it. The
doubters were happy, however. in the
faith that Harrison had been elected by
the votes of Indiana and Connecticut.
There has been some betting in the
vicinity of the rooms this evening,
the stakes amounting to several thou
sand dollars. 1t was placed even on

point convenient of acess to all. A
crowd OF 5000 filled the hall and
gave warm greeting to all
bulletins, each party being we'll
represented in the crowd. The ONO
State Journal showed the returns on a
canvas. Several thousand people stood
in the street and gave noisy attention to
them. Quietly at his home fireslde
Judge Thurman awaited such news as
his son. Alien Thurman, telephoned
out to him at intervals. He was nat
urally anxious to know the result, but
said he could wait until morning with
the greatest of ease, His conversation
was upon ali manner of sub.
jects, politics being but one OF
the many subjects that interested.
Allen w. Thurman and few friends
received the returns at the old law Of
fee. and from there the judge received
such information as was sent to him.
He did not give up his party's chance
OF success at the first information, but
preferred to await the receipt of more
definite information before expressing
any opinion as to the probable result.
The Western Union had offered the use
of private wire, but the judge de-
clined with thanks. not wishing to have
the bother of an instrument in his
home

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 6.-Gen.
Harrison passed the afternoon at home.
About 3 o'clock he went out for walk,
the weather being chilly but bracing.
Returning at 4, he found bundle of
kilograms awaiting him from all sec
tiOns of the country. They gave him
estimates of an encouraging character
on California, New York, Connecticut
and large number of points
in Indiana, assuring him of
heavy gains. While manifesting
interest in the contests and assurances
brought by the telegraph, the general is
by all odds the coolest person about the
household. Numerous correspondents
have called. seeking to talk with him,
but to all he sends polite declination.
His house tonight will be as strictly
private as any other citizens, his
the returns in the city and wire
them out. He is sending no replies
to his many telegrams, nor is
it likely he will give out for publication
tonight any of the kilograms he may
receive at later hour. The Associated
Press correspondent had pleasant
chat with him this evening. With his
little grandson on his knees, he mani
tested not the slightest uneasiness,
worriment or excitement. The same
may be said of Mrs. Harrison, who goes
about her household duties as usual,
occasionally entering the library and
reading the kilograms.
Gen. Harrison received the returns
at his residence, about one mile from
the business center, the wire bringing
the bulletins into his library; and it
was in this room that the general, with
a few friends and neighbors,
passed nearly the entire night. The
long oval writing table had been
cleared, and around it sat the little
party. At the center of the table on
one side sat Gen. Harrison, while at
one end was his law partner, John B.
Elam, and his son Russell at the other.

Hours of anxiety for months of labor.
The expression describes accurately the
political situation in Minnesota this
morning. Tuesday was sunny and cool.
and, despite Mondays rain, favorable
to fair vote. Despite this, the returns
of last night indicated no vote in excess
of that of 1856. The returns came in
slowly, and then so scattering as to give
but a very unsatisfactory idea as to
what the final outcome will be.
At o'clock this morning SO towns out
side of Ramsey, representing 80 eoun-
ties in the state, had gwen Cleveland
6.017, Harrison S,759, and Merriam 6,343,
Wilson 5,591. As there are 1,700
voting precincts in the state,, this is a
yeay slim return, but comparisons with
the vote of 1886 on governor reveal that
Merriam is ON all returns from these SO
towns running no better than McGill,
while Wilson, outsideof certain German
centers, is leading the Ames vote slight
ly. This state of affairs IF continued
to-day on the latter returns make Mr..
Wilson governor of Minnesota. In
Ramsey county out of fifty-twO precincts
in at 2 o'clock Mr.. Wilson had 2,248 ma
iority above Merriam, which with the
returns from the eighty-nine towns
noted gives him clear lead of /, 400
over Merriam. with Hennepin and
other heavy counties to be heard from.

That of Congressman Lind, Republican,
of the Second district, is of course as
sured. The Third aud Fifth districts

at hand. OF the thirty-nine country
counties reported so far, each shows
Democratic gains.

claimed in the Fifth district by 700
plurality and the returns bear that out.
Merriam's estimated pluralities of 1000
in Otter Tail and 1,5O0 in FreebOrn
county tell strongly in lis favor and
give him the lead again. These claims
are based ON returns from majority of
the towns in the counties named.

American or Bullock Horse; Lady Surrey dam
OF Henry Clay; Tom Thumb, g. 8. OF Green's
Bashaw; Leonidas, reputed g.s. of Biggart's
Rather, and many others.
This is pre-eminently the kind of intorma-

and lone such American can well afford to be
without this paper. 1t is the American gentle
mans paper for the history of the horse. In
all such information there 10 included much
local and general history. Indeed, the trac-
