gressman-RulkeIe to be Governor.

HARTFORD, Noy. 7.-Connecticut gives
Cleveland plurality of 429, with two towns
to hear from, which win reduce 1t to about
$50.
Morris, Dem, beats Bulkeley, Rep, for
governor, by 1900 plurality with three towns
to hear from, but he has not a majority. The
Legislature is Republican and will elect

The figures now elect Miles, Rep, by light

stead of one as previously reported.

A Successful Ruse Of Two Bright

A couple Of tramps stopped at farmhouse

drink all the water you want" said the
farmer, "but you neenter ask for anything to
eat, for you won't get it."
The tramps looked at table that had Just

PAID IN HIS OWN COIN.
The President Takes II Hard and
BIames Hill

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-The White House
wire was kept open until a. m, and it was
not until that hour that Mr.. Cleveland gave
up hope. 1t is said that in spite of his elab-
crate professions Of equanimity he takes his
defeat very hard, and talks bitterly about
the treachery Of Governor Hill. These COM
plants. however, come with bad grace from
the White House, considering that for more
than two years the whole force of admins
tration patronage has been used to break
down Hill in New York. 1t has been the
unvary ing experiences of New York Dem
ocratic Congressman that when they went to
Secretary Fairchild to secure an appoint
constituent the first question asked has al
ways been: SIS he Hill man?" IL the ap-
plicant was even suspected Of being friend
to Hill no influence could secure his appoint
ment. In the case Of the cattle inspectors,
under the animal industry act sinecure posi-
tions outside the civil service of Sc day,
who are scattered all over the State, the
policy has been still more distinctly marked.
Dan Lamont took these appointments into
his own hands and sent a man of his own

which were faithfully carried out by the

Gov. Hill should bear these things in mind,
and bide his time for revenge.
Around the departments this morning the
scenes were interesting and curious. The
Republican clerks, who have been holding
on with bated breath in fear Of dismissal,
plainly showed by their manner the load
that had been lifted from their minds. The
most doleful visages are those Of Republi-
can appointees who, In order to retain their

CHICAGO. Nov. 7.-Gen. Harrison has car
ried the State of Illinois by at least 20, 900
plurality. and it may be more, while Fifer.
the Republican candidate. has been chosen
governor by plurality not far from 10000.
The returns from the State, outside of the
county, show Republican gains, and this, ON
the average, will tend to compensate for the
losses suffered in Cook county. While the
congressional returns are necessarily meagre
they are to the effect that the Republicans
have held their own.
The advices from the senatorial districts
show that the Republicans will have ma
jority of not far from 80 on joint ballot in
the next general assembly.
The Senate will be made up of "a Republ-
cans, 16 Democrats and one Union Labor.
The Republicans appear to have elected "a
members OF the House and the Democrats SO.
The reelection of Republican to the United

AT THE HARRISON RESIDENCE.
How the News Was Received by the
President-EIect.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 7.-Gen. Harrison
and his household did not rise very early
this morning. owing to their last nights
vigils.
1t was 3 o'clock this morning when the
bulletins ceased coming for the night and
the General retired after figuring out from
the 220 Indiana precincts in at that hour. that
the result showed net gain Of six votes to
the precinct, which, IL maintained through
out would turn the State Republican.
This was hopeful, even encouraging, from
his own State, at least, and it proved good
news for the General to go to bed on, for he
got good nights rest. and is looking and
feeling in excellent health and spirits today.
AT 9 O'Clock this morning the bulletins
were resumed, and seemed to set at rest all
doubts about New York.
Coincident with these later New York bull
letins there began to arrive flood Of con-
gratulatory kilograms from all sections of
the country.
Gen. Harrison is very conservative about
congratulations, and wants to feel sure he Is
out of the woods before he permits himself
to participate in such proceedings.
There we're great many callers at the
house today. In fact, the neighbors came in
and took apparent possession. On the out
side there was quite large crowd standing
gazing at the house, looking TO catch
glimpse OF the General as he occasionally
passed the windows.
Demonstrations in the city are of the most
enthusiastic character.
Large crowds are congregated in different
different parts Of the city, cheering for "Ben

TOLEDO, Ohio, Noy.7.-In the 10th dis

CLEVELAND. Nov. 7.-The Republicans
claim two Congressman in the State -Morey
in the 7th and Burton in the 2ist districts.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov THE two State
committees are still raceiving returns from
the State and figuring up the gains and loss
es, the Republicans claiming plurality of
from 5000 to 10000, placing an estimate on
more or less complete returns from about
half the counties in the State. On the other
hand, the Democratic committee says that
complete or conservatively estimated returns
from % out of SS counties give evidence of
Democratic gain of little over 5000, and If
this ratio continues, which they scarcely dare
hope, they will carry the State. At any
rate, they say there is no doubt that they
have cut down the Republican plurality to a
small figure. For Congress, the Democrats
say their losses are balanced by their gains
and there Is as yet no. certainty that they
have not made net gain. On the other
hand the Republicans claim a net gain OF
one. Among the Representatives in the
next Congress from Ohio will be Butter
worth, Rep, Caldwell, Rep, Williams, Rep,
Yoder, Dem, Seney, DEM, Moray, Rep.
Kennedy, Rep. Cooper, Rep, Hanes, Dem,

claimed by both committees. Morey in the
seventh Is probably elected, but the Demo-
Gratis say late information from Butler
county shows great Democratic gains and on
that account there are not yet ready to con-
cede the defeat of Patterson. The Republi-
cans claim Bothman's election in the 9th by
