the republican ballots failed to reach
some of the outlaying wards at the
opening of the polls and many voters
were obliged to come to the city to
attend to their business without
voting.
The first result of the election to be
known for a certainty was the success
of the proposition to increase the
backing of the Worlds Fair to s1O,-
100000. The vote of the city was
practically unanimous in favor ofadd.

tickets, the American and prohibition
parties formed a combination and
placed state ticket in the field. The

Rollins Bingham a Well-known
Kansas City Man Commits
Forgery.

Kansas City, Mo-, November g.
Rollins Bingham, a son of the late
Gen. Geo. c. Bingham, left the city
Sunday night after having forged
signatures to deeds of trust to the
amount of s23, 400. Bingham began
his forgeries a year ago, issuing fraud
ulent deed of trust on various pieces
of property owned by his step-mother,
Mrs. Martha A. Bingham. He also
forged a deed conveying one-half
interest in property left to his sister
and himself in his own name, and
then encountered the property for
S10.5O0. Hisl step-mother, Mrs.
Bingham, discovered his transactions
a short time before her death, few
weeks ago, but upon his promise to
make the amount good she did not
prosecute him. She however, des.
Iroyed her will which made him q
beneficiary, and bequathed all her
property to q nephew and niece.
Bingham's father was once State
Treasurer of Missouri and Adjatant
General Of the State.

New York, Nov. 6.-Asked for an
expression of opinions on the results
of yesterdays elections, ex President
Cleveland said to-day: clam delight

in the country to rejoice more heartily

NV qualification is that of an Ameri-
can, proud of his fellow countrymen
who, though led away for a time by
party prejudices and by blind conf
dence in cunning and selfish leaders,
could not be deIuded to their ruin.
They have demonstrated that, in
dealing with them, it is not safe

demonstrated by the action Of the
people yesterday. Their decision has
been deliberately made, and it is all
the more significant because they
have voted upon their reason and
judgment and because they have
proved that corruption is powerless a.
against their convictions. Of course
there is nothing for the democratic
party to do but to push on the battle
at all times and in ali places on the
lines which they have laid down
that is, to insist upon a wise adjust

Charleston, 8. c., Nov. 6.-There
was no bloodshed in the Palmetto
state yesterday. The election passed
of quietly and the regular democrs tic
(TIilman) ticket is elected by COM
Portable majority. The negro vote,
which was expected to support the
independent democratic ticket
and which was promised by
the Republican State Committee, was
not delivered. kilograms from all
quarters of the state say that the
negroes are too busy picking cotton
to vote. 1t is doubtful if oDe-feurth
OF the vote of the state was polled. In
this city only 1 400 votes were polled
out of total of nearly 10000. At
present it is almost certain that the
democrats have carried six out of the
congressional districts, although there
is still doubt as to the result in the
Fourth. Miller r. has probably car
ried the Seventh District.

COLORADO,

Colorado elected a governor, lieu.
tenant-governOr, secretary Of state,
trea'urer, auditor, encouragement
and superintendent of public instruc-
ton. One congressman was also
chosen.
Denver, Colo, November s.
Yesterdays election was perhaps the
most bitter ever contested in Colorado.
1t was fight where the leaders of the
Republican party in order to gain
factiOnal supremacy, placed regular,
rump and Independent tickets in the
fi-ld. These differences afforded the
Democrats an excellent opportunity
of electing their candidates The
Republican State ticket was traded
off for legislative votes throughout
the state, and both United States
Senators Teller and Wolcott devoted
the eutire day TO peddling tickets.
Dispatches received from Trinidad,
Pueblo and Leadville indicate that
the democrats are in the lead, while
in Denver should the republicans win
it will be by the smallest majority in
the history of Colorado politics. The
GuggeDheiners of Wall street, New
York, wired thousands of dollars
during the day. With this money
aud that secured by Senators Teller
and WoIcott from the national com.
mittee and Chairman Quay, thousands
of votes were bought.

For Murdering q Girl.

Atlanta, Ca, November A
horrible story comes from White
county, which is far up in the noun
tains of North Georgia. Some time
ago q man giving his name as Cbas-
jolly stopped at the farm of a man
named Adams and asked for work.
He was accompanied by 12-year-
old girl, whom he claimed
as his daughter. He was given
work and little cabin was fitted up
for them. One day last week Adams
when near the cabin. heard screams of
the girl, which aroused his suspicious
that the relations between the two
we're not as claimed. Two days later
wall from the cabin drew all those
living near. jolly was found weep.
ing over the lifeless body of the girl.
He claimed that both she and
he had been poisoned, and begged
for doctor for himself. His actions
aroused suspicion, which an examina-
ton of the girls body tended to con-
firm. 1t was found that her neck
was broken, and the body was othe,-
wife badly mutilated. He acknowl-
edged that his name was not jolly,
but said he was Charles johnson, an
escaped convict from the Mississippi
penltentiary.
The coroner's jury charged I'm
with the murder of the child, and he
would have been lynched had the
officers not hurried him of to jail.
The girl, he said was the daughter Of

cool and it was almost q perfect
autumn day.
Everywhere there was great inter

Dental party was not expected until
1880, but at Richmond, Ind, a
sleeper was attached 10 the limi ed

dent was met at the Union station by
his son-in-law, j. r. Mckee, and at
once driven to his residence on North
Tennessee street. Pesident Harrison
visited the polls with several friends
at noon. He shook hands with his
acquaintance, and then entered the
polling room. He was less than a
moment in the polling booth. Upon
his exit a Democratic acquaintance
remarked:
ut plain Ben Harrison here" to
which the president replied with a
smile:
Eyes, and his vote counts just
one"
The presidents vote was the enc
hundred and fifty-second that was east
in the precinct and the next man who
exercised his suffrage was Daniel
Brossman, a democrat, whose vote
cancelled the presidents, as Brossman
voted straight ticket.
After depOsiting his ballot the

Six democratic congressman elected
with four districts In doubt.
Chicago. ILL.,, Nov. 5.-Of the
twenty congressional districts in ILL
nois, the indications point to the un-
doubted election of ten republican and
six democratic congressman with four
districts still in doubt.
The returns thus far indicate the
election of three republican congress
men in Chicago and one democrat,
although the democrats still deny the
election Of Taylor in the First, and
claim that Mason's victory in the
Third is not yet conclusive. Congress
man Adams, Hopkins, Hit, Hender-
SOL, Hill and Payson, R., are unques-
tionably reelected, as is also probably
Rowell r. There is hardly a doubt
of the success of Post, r.. in the
Tenth district.
In The Eleventh district Congress
man Gest's election has been stub
bornly contested by Benjamin T.
Cable, D., and the result is still in
doubt.
Wike, Springer, Lane and Will
liams, dems., are reelected and the
indications point to the reelection of
Smith, rep, in the Twentieth dis
trict, and Foreman, DEM, in the
Eighteenth, with the Sixteenth still
doubtful, but Congressman Fithian
claims his reelection.
The democrats are claiming the
defeat of Congressman Cannon, rep,
in the Fifteenth district, but the re-
publican state central committee still
claim Canron's re election by 500 ma
jority.
Chicago, ILL.,, November 4.-The
election in this city to-day, though

The polls opened at 6 a. m. and closed
at p. IN.
The chief interest conferred in the
contest for the shrievaliy between
Congressman Frank Lawler, demo-
Graf, and James Fl. Gilbert, republi.
can. An element of interest was
also injected into the contest for the
position of county superintendent of
public schools by the candidacy of
Mrs. General Mulligan, who was the
democratic nominee, 1.-The little red
school honse" was the issue, Mrs.
Mulligan being a Roman Catholic
and her opponent, Albert G. Lane, a
Protestant, and the public school
question was used for the purpose of
turning democratic votes from Mrs.
Michigan.
The democrats swarmed about the
polls from 6 to 8 o'clock voting rapidly
and sending them up into the hun
dreds, but later when the sun began
to shine and the air became warmer
the republicans began to arrive at the
polling PAGES. They held no CONVEX
sation with ticket peddlers, but took
from their vest pockets neatly folded
tickets the contents of which none but
themselves knew. Men who had not
been to the polls for years visited
