TRENTON, n. j.. Nov. S.-New Jersey to-
day voted for presidential electors and
Governor, eight Congressman and seven
Senators The next Legislature will elect

pared with 1883, when the vote was Harri-

1904. Three years ago the Democratic can
didste for Governor polled 1SS.245. and the
Republican candidate 125.992.
Throughout the State the poll of votes
was very heavy, and the amount of scratch
ing was unprecedented. The voters of
both parties, as q rule. voted the head of
their ticket strsight but for Governor and
other candidates the vote was mixed and
and very confusing. The most careful OBJ
servers in the different counties of the
State would not give an estimate of the
vote for the different local candidates when
the polls closed. The Reading com
in the election. and in the diff
ferent sections the local influences counted
for more than party fealty. Another ini-
portant factor in the fight was the boards
of public works which were established in
true in Newark, Jersey City, Camden.
Trenton and Patterson. Many persons who
voted their ticket straight in all other re-
spects, voted for candidates for the Assem-
bly, who had pledged themselves TO work
for the repeal of the bills creating the
boards. There we're few incidents of .
disturbing nature during the day. The
crowds were. as rule, good naturcd, and
there were fewer personal encounters than
usual.
Returns from the State are coming in
very slowly. The indications are that the
State has gone for Cleveland by between
10000 and 1900. Wertz. Dem., for Gov
ernor, Is running very close to the Cleve-
land ticket. Camden county has been car
ried by the Democrats. 1t went 2,592 for
Harrison in 1888. Hudson county will
go Democratic by about 5000, the usual
majority.
Not half of the 750 election districts in
the State had been heard from at 10 p. NJ.
A careful estimate. based upon Incom plete
returns from tweDty-one counties gave
Cleveland 18, 200. and Harrison 10. 400.

pears that Cleveland has 220 electoral
votes Harrison 2l4. Weaver10; necessary to

result of the general election
prevails at both national headquarters. At
midnight the situation had not cleared. 1t
vas freely prophesied by astute politicians
on both siaes that the Weaver electors
would hold the balance OF power and by
throwing the election into the House of
representatives prevent an election. Re-
pubiIeens who are familiar with the tenn
per of the Peoples party leaders say that
the Populists would vote for Har-
rlson rather than see Cleveland
President again. as they hate him.
IL is evident that New York
has gone Democratic heavily. that New
Jersey is on the same side. that Connecti-
cut is doubtful and Virginia safely Demo-
cratic. It is equally clear that Senator
Anthony Higgins has captured little Della
ware from the Democrats, that Indiana has
clear Republican majority. and that Ne
vada, Colorado and North Dakota have
gone for Weaver. West Virginia is doubt
ful. and returns from Alabama are held
back"
The Tribune says: 1.-The result of the
election Is IN doubt at midnight. The re-
turns from most of the States are meager
and insufficient to warrant an abso-
lutte conclusion, though the probabilities
at this hour are that Harrison and
Reid have not obtained a majority of the
electoral votes. New York State is Demo-
cratic by not less than s0OO0 and
has elected Democratic Assem-
bly,. New Jersey has probably gone
for Cleveland by from 5000 TO 500.

HOMESTEAD. Pa. Nov. s.-The election
absorbed Homestead to-day. to the exclu-
sion of the strike and all other matters of
interest. The voting was not as large rs
in former years. as many persons have
moved away. but it was distinguished by q
large amount of cutting, both of the ma
tional and legislative nominees. The Repub-
lican ticket was bolted by large number
of the locked-Out men, which tonight
causes the Democratic leaders to claim the
borough by 400. At Republican headQnar-
ters it is admitted that there was some
cutting. but that this was offset by new
Republican voters. and the borough 10
claimed in the Republican column. There
was little excitement at the polls as few of
the non-unionists residing in the town
voted. end those being IN the mill. had
matters their own way practically at the
