ticut and New Jel sey Democratic
The result of the 9th of November
1888, was looked forward to by millions
of people in this country with more in
tense interest than has been the case
Tor many years. Even our neighbors
across the water were by no means in
different, and 1t NAV be sa e to say that
the eyes of the world were upon US.
The published predictions of the chief
signal office at Washington were read as
they have never been read before, foI
victory or defeat in this most hotly CON
tested campaign seemed trembling in
the balance, and the slightest oscilla-
ton of the beam might affect the result
OF course the greatest anxiety was felt
over the so-called doubtful states ot
New York, Connecticut, New Jersey
and Indiana, where the strongest fight
had been made by both the great par.
ties. Cloudy weather and a cold driz-
zEng rain was reported from New York
and also in the interior OF the Empire
State IN the morning, but later in the
day the sky cleared and very heavy
vote was cast. The same state of things
was reported from Indiana. Connect,
cut reported rain and fog. Early re.
ports from all over the country indicate
the greatest vote ever polled.
The following figures are compiled
from returns received up to 8 O'Clock
Monday morning:
NEW YORK.
The vote of all the counties in the
state, including New York and Kings
Counties, shows plurality for Cleveland
of 1886, and Tor Harrison of 90,l47
making Harrison's plurality in the STATE
ll,l9l.
Official returns have been received
from nearly every county i'll the state
and by careful estimates oft the few miss
ing districts IIarrison's plurality in this
state will be about $4,000. GOV. Hill
Dem ran far ahead of Cleveland III
this STATE and is elected by 1900 plu-
rdlity. The Republicans have gained
nne III the legislature over last year, il
beng conceded to be composed oi
eighty-0ne Republicans and tifly-seven
Democrats, the Senate holding oyC-
with twenty-one Republicans and
eleven Democrats. The Republicans
also gain another congressman IN the
Fifteenth District by the election OF
Steyers over Bacon.
The Albany Argus Dem. J, the state
0CJ over Cleveland.
Senator NJ. ;. Quay, chairman of the
Espublcan National Committee, au-
tlOrizes the following statement: "The
Republicans on Tuesday carried by in
creased majOrities all the states that
were carried FOR Mr.. Blaine in 1891, and
in addition have New York by plural
ity of 900 and Indiana by plurality
0! from 1850 to G,000. West Virginia is
in doubt Gen. Harrison's election il
assured"

state received on the Sth place IIarrI-
sons plurality at about l., 600. Hill,
Democratic candidate for governor, will
have more. Chairman Brice, OF the
Democratic National Committee, con-
cedes the election of Harrison and gives
up the fight. 1t is known now that the
Republicans have carried New York,
Indiana, California, Nevada and
will stand: Harrison, 240; Cleveland,
1852. The Delaware legislature is Re
publican on joint ballot, insuring the
election of a Republican senator TO sue
ceed salisbury (Dem.) The legislature
in West Virginia IS also claimed to be
Republican and will elect successor 10
Senator kenna (Dem.). There is now
every indication that the next House oi
Representatives Will be Republican by
from 10 to 20 majority. Secretary Nc
Phers0n, of the Republican Congress

latter figure about rght.

to Gen. Harrison by about 5000 plural

9I7 precincts give Harrison I45, ,94l
in 1884 gave Blaine l32, ,575; Cleveland,
l3l, ,395 This includes all of Marion
County except four precincts.
