ocratic MsJority-Indiana Claimed
by Both Parties-IlJinois
Democratic.
THE indications are that Cleveland is
elected, although the republican ma
tional committee at a. M, of the 9th,
claimed the states of California, Maine,
Massachusetts, ten votes of Michigan,
Ohio. Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island. Vermont, Idaho, Colorado, Hi
nois. Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, New
Hampshire, Wisconsin, Nor lana, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Washington.

eware. or 229 electoral votes. a MAORI
ty of six in the electoral college.
On the other hand the Democratic
committee claims the solid South rein
forced by New York, Illinois, New Jer-
sew and Connecticut 1t is almost a
certainty that Illinois has gone for
Cleveland, and with conceded New
York will give the Democratic electors
a majority.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 9.-The returns from
the state come in very slowly owing to
The difficulty counting the Australian
system of ballots. At a. IN. returns
from only II precincts had been re-
,eiyed and they were as follows: Har-
rison. 5000; Cleveland, 1888; fusion,
1859; Nelson for governor, 4,204; Law
Ter for governor, 2,ss2; Donnelly, 1,023.
At midnight the state committee al.
though it was based on few additional
returns, claimed the state for Nelson
by not less than 1000 plurality. They
claim all the Republican congressman,
except Heatwole, in the Third district.
The Democratic state central commit.
tee claims the election of Lawler as
governor by plurality of 1000. Elk.
Marshall VIM. NJ. Campbell goes them
1000 better and places the figures at
5000
New YORK, Nov. 0, $3.50 a. m.-The
battle in the Empire state has been
fought. Cleveland has carried his home
state by plurality which cannot be
accurately stated at this hour, but
which will be somewhere between the
democratic claim of 10000 and the
rrudging admissions of the republican
leaders of bare defeat of their candi-
date. Cleveland carried New FORK city by
IS. 600. gain of Is, 600 over his plurality
in 1855 of 7.174. Four years ago Har-
rison came down to Harlem river with
O,l76 plurality, giving him a clear plu.
rality in the state of 1902. Surprising
Harrison TO have the same plurality
outside of the city as in 1855 he would
still be defeated by 5000 votes. But the
indications are that Cleveland has cut
down his opponents pluralities through
out the state.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 9.-At midnight
the indications are that Indiana will &C
republican. Heavy republican gains
over two years ago in Marion county,
containing the city of Indianapolis, in
dictate now, with 40 out of 20s precincts
in. that the democratic majority of q.
100 in the county will be reduced to 600
Both parties claim the state.
dications are that the state of Illinois
has gone for Cleveland and Stevenson
by from 5000 to 10000 plurality and
that the entire state Democratic ticket
is elected Later returns may change
these figures as the country districts
vet to be heard from are likely to cut
down the Democratic gain in the coun
ty precincts. Chicago and Cook county
will give Cleveland and Stevenson and
Altgeld, the democratic candidate for
governor, not less than $4,000 plurality,
which will probably more than off-se,
the republican majority in the country
precincts, as the country thus far has
shown the Harrison vote to be less than
in 1855. when Harrison had plurality
of %, 900 in the whole state.
COLUMBUS. Ohio. Nov. AT midnight
Chairman Dick of tue Republican state
committee. claims that the Harrison
electors in Ohio will have plurality OF
from %, 900 TO $4,000. He had heard
from only two congressional districts,
She First and the Second and claims the
election of the republican candidates in
these by about 1000 majority.
MILWAUKEE, Wis. Nov s.-Forty-two
towns and precincts give Harrison s,S71,
a net democratic gain of 203 over 1885,
when Harrison carried the state by over
81. OC0. The figures indicate that the
republican national and state tickets
will be elected by from $4,000 to 0,00o
plurality. Spooner is running well ur
with the ticket.
TRENTON, n. j.. Nov. 9.--The Repub-
licans concede the state to the demo
Gratis by reduced majority.
WHEELING. w. Va. Nov. s-Every
county from which estimates have been
received up to midnight show republi.
can gains except in Kanawha, where
there will be a loss of over 500. Chair
man Dawson, of the republican state
committee, claims the election of the
republican state ticket, and that the
state has gone for Harrison. The Dem
ocrats claim quite to the contrary.
OMAHA, Neb.. Nov. s.-Returhs com
ing very slowly, and it will be ten
hours before the result can be surely
known, but the figures largely indicate
the success of the Weaver electors. Only
four voting precincts had returns in at
9:15. Three-fourths of the democratic
vote was thrown to Weaver electors.
BosToN, Mass, Nov. S.-One hundred
and twenty towns give Cleveland 81, GA;
Harrison, 81, 445. Compared with 1883,
net democratic gain 1.14i,
DEs MONIES, Ia, Nov. s.-The returns
so far show the election OF Harrison
delegates with the state ticket in doubt
DOVER, Del, Nov. S.-Both parties
claim the state.
PORTLAND, Ore. Nov. 9.-About so
per cent of the democrats supported the
Weaver delegates. Reports from the
interior show light vote. The result
is in doubt.
