THE NATIONAL ELECTION
The Election of General Har-
rison Conceded.

The news that came over the wires
last night and that published in the
papers this morning indicate the almost
certain election of Harrison and Moor
ton, the Republican candidates.
The result rested with New York
as the pivotal state for the Republicans
and this is conceded to Harrison.
The New York Times comedies the
state to Harrison by $4,000 plurality.
1t does not claim Hill's election a GER
tainty, but rather leans to Miller's sue
cess. Grant is elected mayor.
The extra Sun comedies that Harri-
son has carried New York.
The Tribune claims the state by pos
sibly 10000 plurality.
The World does not yet coneede the
state to Harrison, but admits that it
will be very close. 1t claims Hills
election. The Worlds headline in first
edition is Suspense"
The Philadelphia Press says:
Harrison and MOortOn and Protec-
ton have apparently carried every
Northern state, except one. The vote
In New York is close, but at this hour
-midnight--the indications point to
Republican plurality of not less than
10000.
Indiana is still in doubt, and the re-
turns from there are very meagre, but
the indications point to Republican
success.
Connecticut shows Republican gains
in almost every town.
From New Jersey the returns are in
sufficient to admit of close estimates.
The Western States are all claimed
by the Republicans and also the East
ern States.
Philadelphia went Republican by
10000 and the State by probably 10000.
The Republicans are jubilant every
where over the election.
gsS@A dispatch this afternoon says
Indiana went for Harrison by 1000 ma
jority.

In Delaware we had no campaign in
comparison to those. Of former Presi-
dental years, as far as the excitement
IN regard to parades and discussions
are concerned, but the:great issues as
given in the public prints have been
available to all. As contest before
the hustings it closed yesterday. The
New York Tribune thus sums it up:
There are some things about the
campaign which closes to-day which II
IS pleasant to remember. One is that
1t has been a decent campaign. II has
been singularly free from the Derson-
alities and heated accusations aoainet
tne characters Of candidates which
nave made recent campaigns odious.
Ihere has been some campaign living
but it has not been directed against the
personal characters Of the nominees
Perhaps the meanest of these false
hoods was the dollar-a day lie about
General Harrison. But even that was
not an assault upon his private charae-
Ter, which the Democrats have respec-
TED, because they found it absolutely
unassailable. Mr.. Cleveland. every
ialr-mlnded Democrat must admit has
Deen generously treated. The Repub-
hcans have judged him on his public
record alone.
1t has been an intelligent eamDaion
While it has been upexcitinO fo q So.
gree almost unprecedented in our pol
ltlcs, IL has, nevertheless, awakened
universal interest among voters. It il
rare thing to hear men of all grades
OF intelligence discussing an issue ev-
efyWhere-in business Offices. on the
streets, IN the cars-With the earnest
ness men have shown in talking of the
taFln, during this canvass. There are
very rev voters who have not soma
clearly formed ideas now on the suh-
Ject Of the tariff, and there were manv
az the opening of the campaign who
knew very little about it. The polit-
Ieal committees Of both parties have
distributed an enormous number of
documents and it is the testimony of
Doth sides that no such demand for ir-
formation Of this kind has ever been
seen before in any political contest
!: 4 mere mas been a great deal of think !

Deen aroused, there has been little |
snow OF passion and bitterness. and |

arguments, instead Of threats and vio- |
fence, and the spirit Of the people, as a
whole, has been admirable.

The Election Yesterday.

The election held in this town for
Duck Creek Hundred yesterday was
perhaps the most quietly conducted of
any election on a Presidential wear
ever held in the town, The weather
was clear after the early morning, and
almost up to summer Temperature
The day was barren of incident. not
even at any time a sharp contention
over a doubtful voter, and MANY set
around in the shade enjoying the baImv
breezes. The vote yesterday was 88i
against 695 in 1886. 787 in 1854. 841 in
1882 and $50 in 1880. 1t will thus an
pear that it was the highest vote since
1880, and only sixty or seventy short
OF the full assessment list. The Demo-
cratic plurality on the Electors was
$50, ltwould appear that outside the
Temperance ticket, the Salisbury vote
was only about thirty, while the PPobi.
bition vote ran up to 81 on the electors
and 40 on the county ticket. The fol-
lowing is the vote of the respective
tickets:
