HARRISON SHOWED UNDER.
CIsVslaHd and Stevenson Elected By
a Monumental Majority.
The l'OPuIIsts Get q Small nlte-AII
Of the branches Of the
Governments will Ne
Democratic.

The political deluge has arrived, but ii
Is impossible to tell Just the extent Of the
territory it has covered. Reports are un-
usually slow in coming in on account Of
the new system Of balloting which has
been generally adopted, but enonRh is
known to show beyond 4 doubt that
Cleveland is elected by the largest elect
oral vote ever cast, unless It was in 1872
when Greely I'm against Grant. More
than this, it lie quite likely that the dem
Ocrats will be in possession Of both
branches Of congress for the first time
since the war, and they alone will be re-
sponsible for the administration Of the
government.
The speculation as 10 the election being
thrown into congress is ended. A mon
grel government by democratic presi-
dent and 4 republican vice president
would have been a misfortune, bot the
clean sweep Of the democrats obviates
this. The peoples party and silveriteS
carried Kansas, Nevada and Colorado,
but they will cut a very small figure In
the administration.
To sum up as near as possible at this
writing, the states carried by Cleveland
and Stevenson are Alabama, Arkansas,
Connecticut, Delaware, Florida. Georgia,
Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri. New
Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee. Texas, Virginia,
West Virginia and Wisconsin. Michigan
gives six electoral votes to Cleveland-a
total Of 26s votes.
Besides these, California with 10 votes
and Ohio with % are in doubt. Here are
the returns from some Of D. states on
which public interest was centered:
Illinois is democratic by 1000 plural
ity. The entire state ticket and both
branches Of the legislature are democratic.
Weaver carried Kansas by 1000. Jerry
Simpson was returned to congress by
2,5OO plurality, reduction Of $500 votes
on his majority Of two years ago.
West Virginia elected the entire demo-
cratic state ticket, the Cleveland electors,
and safe working majority In the leg
stature.
Ohio is very close, but probably demo
cratic. Republicans claim the state BY
a plurality Of ll6. while the democrats
maintain that they have carried it by II
plurality Of from 700 to 1000.
Indiana is democratic on state and ma
tiOnal ticket b. from three to Eve thou
sand. The democrats elected ten out Of
thirteen congressman.
Wisconsin 10 democratic by 5000.
Governor Peck and the entire state ticket
is elected. The legislature is also demo-
cratic, thus losing to the republicans one
senator.
South Dakota is probably republican,
although the state is very close and an
official count will be necessary to decide.
New York Is conceded by the republic
ans to be democratic by 1900.
Nebraska and Idaho are In doubt, the
republicans and Weaverites both claim
ing the state.
Iowa is claimed by the republicans by
a plurality Of 10000.
Wyoming, North Dakota and Minneso-
Ia are probably republican. but with plu-
raliIies 50 email that an official count
will be required to decide. In Wyoming
the democrats claim the legislature and
governor. North Dakota is the only one
Of these three states abont which there is
little doubt.

ion ticket did not seem to work.
