for many years. Even our neighbors
across the water were by no means in

The published predictions of the chief
signal office at Washington were read as
they have never been read before, for
victory or defeat in this most holly con-
tested campaign seemed trembling in
the balance, and the slightest oscillation
of the beam might affect the result.
Of course the greatest anxiety was felt
New York, Connecticut, New Jersey
and Indiana, where the strongest fight
had been made by both the great
parties. Cloudy weather and cold,
drizzling rain was reported from New
City and also in the interior Of the En-
pire State In the morning, but later
in the day the sky cleared and
a very heavy vote was cast. The same
state of things was reported from
Indiana. Connecticut reported rain and
fog. Early reports from all over the
country indicate the greatest vote ever
polled. .et
