Morton, OF New York, Vice President.
The returns thus iar received indicate
that the tariff reform issue has proven
strongest in the States hopclcssly Re.
publican. In Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa
and Nebraska the Democrats have made
large gains upon the lines foreshadowed
in the recent tariff debate III the House.
These gains, though encouraging, have
not been sufficient to offset the Repub.
lican uaiositics in those States, and have
therefore been OF no material advantage
TO the National Democratic ticket. On
the other hand the tariff issue has not
proven strong in the doubtful States;
particularly in New York. The Demo-
cratic members OF the Ways and Means
Committee have been reelected. They
represent solidly Democratic districts in
the main, however, though there can be
no doubt OF the popularity OF the tariff
issue among their constituents.
From tho latest adviCes il is probable
that the Republican gains in the South
and East will exceed all expectation. A
careful compilation Of Congressional re-
turns received Mt this hour would indi.
cate that the Republicans will control
the next House by from s to 10 majOri'
ty, The returns fromthe States OF Texas,
Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, Geor.
gia, West Virginia and Indiana will be
examined with special interest, aside
from that attaching either to the Presi-
dental contest or the straight Congress
sional fight. From these States come
the members OF the famous Ways and
Means Committee OF the tiftietli Con.
gress, who formulated and after one OF
the most remarkable contests on record,
succeeded in passing the Mills bill, II
measure framed on the lines laid down
by President Cleveland in his notable
tariff message sent to Congress in De-
cembcr last.
The Tribune says: The House OF
Representatives in the Fifty-tirst Con-
gress will be Republican by from 20 to
25 minority. The indications are that
this may be slightly increased. The
New York delegation will stand is Re-
pubiicans and l6 Democrats.
In Connecticut the Republicans gain
two congressman; in New jersey they
lose. 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-tirst Con-
gress, somewhat larger than in the Fiji
tieth.
The opinion formed last night, which
gave the State OF New York to Harrison
ior President, and to Hill, Democrat, for
Governor, is confirmed by later scatter
ing returns. The districts yet TO be
heard from cast in 1854, total Of 364,-
52O votes. Reports by counties, inclu-
ding Allegany, Cattaraugus, Cortland,
Delaware, Ontario, Onondasa, Putnam,
Queens, Rensselaer,, Rockland, Seneca,
Schuyler, Suffolk, TompEins, Ulster,
Wayne, Westchester, and Yates, indi-
cate u further gain of 8, 200 ior Harrison.
Ii the scattering precincts not heard
from aud not in the counties above
named, keep up the DRIFT shown in ad-
Joining precincts heard from, Harrlson,s
plurality will be from 5000 to 10000,
and Hills about 10000.
The Ercning World in q late extra
quotes Chairman BriCe, Of the Demo-
cratic National COMMITTEES, as having
said: eve concede nothing, and from
latest returns there is q fair indication
that Cleveland has carried New York
State"
Following this in the World extra is
this: "This is what they say at National
Democratic headquarters, and it was
given ont as the official utterance OF the
National Committee to the crowd OF
anxious visitors who thronged the, par
Iors this morning in search ot the latest
news, The statement is based upon the
fact that the corrected returns from the
interior counties OF the State show a
larger cutting down OF the earlier Harri-
son gains, and many of the counties
whose plurality had already been given,
purporting to be in full. arc still found
to be incomplete:
Especially is this true, it is claimed,
in Kings county, where it is said that
there will be fight before the count
Is completed. When it was learned
that Illinois and Wisconsin might be
close States as we'll rs Indiana and
Connecticut, kilograms were sent to the
Cbairmen OF the State Committees in
each State.
Mr.. Defroest was the only one at the
Democratic State Committees room. He
said. ave are not in us bad shape as
we were on the day after election in
1854. We will conCede nothing. |
have wired to every county for revised
returns. Till receive them | shall
claim the State. There are errors in the
Kings county returns, though how eX.
tensive | do not know. The count Will
be looked after"
At Republican headquarters Col. Quay
said: 81 can't say anything until it is all
over. OF course Harrison is elected and
has undoubtedly carried New York
state. / am told that an attempt has
been made by the Democrats IN Kings
county to steal the ballot, but they can't
do it."
In the same issue OF the World which
contains the above, in double loaded
type carried over froma an earlier edition
are the words apropos Of Col: Brice con
ccding nothing: "But there IS little rea'
sonnhle doubt that Benjamin Harrison
will he the next President OF the United
states y The Erening NeEs (Democratic)
