The Vote of 81 counties in Illinois,
including Cook, shows maioritles for
Harrison of IS, 943; Cleveland. 10 373,
The remaining counties in 1884 gave
Bl lime SSi, and Cleveland 6,542. As
Stunning that the eighteen counties
not yet fully reported will give the same
result as in 81 the State will give a
plurality for Harrison of 1890. Il is
safe to say, therefore, that Harrison 8
plurality will be 5000
CHICAGO, November Z, IL p.m.-The
Associated Press has Just completed
the count on the Illinois gubernatorial
vote, and they say Fifer is elected by
1000 majority.
This city complete and the rest of
Cook County except two small town
ships, which it is not thought will ma
teriaily change the result. give Cleve-
land 81 100, Harrison 81, 263, a plurality
for Cleveland OF e57. The county COM
plete in 1884 gave Blaine 69,251, Clev,-
land 60 500. a plurality for Blaine OF
8.642. AS there has been no doubt that
the State outside of Cook County went
heavily for Harrison. though possibly
by somewhat less plurality than for
Blaine in 1854 there would now appear
to be no question. notwithstanding the
great gain for Cleveland IN Cook County
that II IS safe for Harrison.

There are several districts in doubt,

very meagre returns from Democratic

TRENTON, n. j. November THE

ture will be Democratic by close vote.
The Senate stands Democrats IL, Re-

exciting.

MICHIGAN.

DETROIT, Novem Der 7.-Michigan has
gone Republican by plurality of Is 900
to Is 600, on the electoral ticket. Luce.
Republican for governor, runs behind
the rest of the ticket 5000, owing to the
opposition of the liquor men. Republi-
cans gain two Congressman, and pei
haps three. The Legi lsture is safely
Republican on Joint ballot, insuriDg
the election of a Republican Senator TO
succeed Palmer.
The election of Wheeler, Repu blican,
in the Tenth District, over Fisher, the
present incumbent, is conceded. This
leaves but one district, the Seventh, in
doubt and is q Republican gain of g.
Should Whiting, Democrat, be electe
in the Seventh, which now seems
probable, the delegation will stand 3
Republicans and 2 Democrats Ad-
ditional returns received up to noon do
not ii aterially change the vote for
governor. Luce's plurality will exceed
10 000.
Sufficient returns have been received
from all Congressional Districts in
Michigan, with one exception, TO in
sure the election OF eight Republicans
and two Democrats Republican gain
of two. The result in the Tenth (Fish-
er's) District is in doubt, and may re-
quire an official count to decide.

COLORADO.

DENVER, Col, November There
was intense excitement in the city last
night. Each bulletin is being greeted
by yells by the Republicans, who are
confident their national tickets are
successful. The Democrats. while
acknowledg dying the chances are very
doubtful, have not entirely given up all
hopes OF carrying New York. the re-
turns of the Colorado election, both
State and Arapshoe County (Denver)
are unusually slow coming in. Up to
this hour, 40 p. NJ, only partial re-
turns have been received. These lndi-
cate the election of the Republican ticket
by majorities ranging from 5000 to 12,-
0C0. The next general assembly will
probably be as follows: Senate G
Democrats, 19 Republicans; House 10
Democrats, 80 Republicans. Partial re-
turns from twenty-three counties give
Cleveland 50,499, Harrison 1880;
Congressman Townsend 1902, Macen
Democrat, 4 ,749; Governor Cooper,
Republican, 6946; Patterson, Demo
crat, SIG. Complete returns from
twenty-five precincts in the city and
counties out of seventy-three give the
following vote: Harrison 4,765, Cleve-

INDIANAPOLIS, November 7.-Generai
Harrison spent the evening in his
library receiving election bulletins
over private wire. During the after
noon number of friends and neighbors
dropped in to offer congratulations.
The RAINY weather has been a great
safeguard to the General. at midnight,
the noisy demonstrations around his
residence have ceased. He was in 8
verv cheerful frame of mind to-
night, reading bulletins complacently
auu explaining from time to time to q
little group the significance of this or
that bulletin or statement. Among his
callers were Judge William A. Wood
and wife, MIR. q. w. Fairbanks and
John S Harrison, of Kansas City. The

morning and was among the
guests. Al the members of the family
were in and out of the library during
the evening, ss we're Mrs. Harrison's
guests, Mrs. Brown, of West Virginia,
and Miss Strickle of Dayton, Ono.
About IL O'Clock the ladies retired, and
it was not great while thereafter until
the General lid likewise, leaving his
son and Nj. Mckee to sit up for late
returns. Some $50 precincts had been
heard from up to that time, being
one-nalf OF the State. fhe general

Western Farm Mortgages.

Journal of Banking:. Western farm
mortgages are, in many sections OF the
country. more especially the New Eug-
land states, a. favorite investment for
investors. Savings banks are probably
the largest holders OF these securities.
and for two reasons: First, they are sup
posed to be absolutely safe-that is, the
land upon which these mortgages are
given is worth much more than the
amount loaned. and, secondly, the rate
of interest agreed to be paid being so
much in excess of that in the eastern
states il has enabled the banks invest
ing in them to return a larger per cent
TO their depositors. While there is at
present no reason to distrust the value
Of these securities or the sincerity OF the
parties Offering or investing in them, 1T
would seem, according to the annual re-
ports of the banking commissioners OF
New Hampshire AMI Vermont, that the
amount of money deposited in the saw
ings banks in those states which is in
vested in western farm mortgages has
assumed such proportions as not only to
attract attention, but to raise the ques-
tion as to the expediencv of continuing
the practice on the same scale. In
both New Hampshire and Vermont u
number Of investment companies have
been organized, the sole object OF which
is to encourage investment in western
securities. These operate independ-
emily of the savings banks, and the re-
suit is that a large portion OF the sur
plus money of New England is to-day
represented by mortgages on western
farms. OF course as long as business is
good and the farmer is prosperous and
the interest is promptly paid, all will be
we'll. But should season OF adversely
come with interest and principal both
falling due, there would be only one al
tentative, and that, to take the land.
The commissioners openly state that OF
"no considerable extent eastern capital
is used to boom western localities, and
money is not loaned on the intrinsic
value of the property, but on its pro-
spective increase. 1t is easy to UNDER
stand what the result would be should
| such a contingency ever arise. AS
| showing the confidence in such invest
ments the commissioners give figures
| proving that not far from 40 per cent Of
| the whole amount deposited in the saw
ings banks of their respective states
| has been loaned in the western states.
How much is represented by the vari-
Gus loan and investment companies can
| not be definitely stated, for the reason
they are not under state supervision.
