Their Own Way in Congress.
OLD PENN STANDS FIRM.
Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Wiscon-
sin, California, New York and
Missouri Democratic.

Missouri Democratic.
Grover Cleveland and Adlai Stevenson have
beer elected President and Vice. President oil
the United States for the four years beginning
March 4 1893.
The South. which was depended on to fur
pish some electoral votes for the Populist can
didate, Gen. Weaver, chung consistently to her
idols and cast her 159 votes solid for the Demo-
cratic party, while what were considered by
the Republican managers as the very doubtful
States are now generally conceded to have
voted Democratic, some of them by pretty
strong majorities.
At the White House, what took place just
four years ago to day, with but slight
change in the actors in the drama, took place
there on last Tuesday. Four years ago Grover
Cleveland, his friends and advisers, were pres
emf. and as the wires brought in the returns,
their spirits we're raised or lowered, until
at last it was conceded by everybody that
Harrison was elected and the White House
was closed. On Tuesday last the same scene
pook place with Gen. Harrison and his friends
occupying the big mansion, and when at last
the curtain went down late at night on the
realistic scene it was known that the man who
retired four years ago by the votes of his fell
low-citizens was at this time selected President
of the United States over the man who had
then been elected.
In the early morning Gen. Harrison went
about his accustomed duties as if unconscious
that around him the political destinies of the
whole country were revolving in confusion.
he attended to his official duties and in the
afternoon took an extended drive in the
suburbs He received dispatches all day, which
he perused with the same stoical indifference
he usually displays in such matters, whether
the news is favorable to him or otherwise.
In the evening after dinner the President
and his immediate family repaired to the cir
culsr library up stairs, where they were shortly
Joined BY Secretary of State Foster, Attorney
General Miller. Secretary Tracy, and Rev. DR..
Hamlin. With the exception of few news
psper men, these were the only people at the
White House during the evening.
By midnight every person except the Presi-
dents family and employees had left the man.
sion, but the telegraph operators kept receiving
messages until early Wednesday morning. To
outward appearances Gen. Harrison was the
least disturbed of any person at the White
House by the news there received.
ALABAMA.
Cleveiand's plurality is estimated at q, 900.
The voting was heavy. The Democrats have
carried six of the nine Districts by overwhelm-
ing maiorities. in the Third, Fifth and Say
enth the Popalist vote was very heavy, and
although in the Fifth indications at first
pointed TO the defeat of Cobb oy the fusionists,
the large Democratic majorities in Marengo
and Mobile Counties overbalsnce the Alliance
vote in the smaller Counties.
ARKANSAS.
The Democrats claim 10000 majority. Trie-
Der, Republican, in the First District, claims
to have won. while Bush, Populist. in the
Third, and Bryan, Populist, in the Fifth, re-
port certain victories.
CALIFORNIA.
Almost complete returns from entire State
show general falling Oh of Harrison's vote in
southern California and Cleveland carries San
Francisco by 1880 plurality. The latest re-
turns place Cleveland's majority in California
st 5000 but it may reEch 6. 600 or 10 600. State
Legislature will be Democratic, insuring the
election of Democrat to the y. S. Senate.
The following Congressman are elected by
handsome msjorities: Geary, Democrat. in
First District; Caminett Democrat. in Second
District; Mcguire Democrat, in Fourth Dis
trict, and Cannon, Democrat and Populist, in
Sixth District Ryland, Democrat, 10 elected
in the Fifth District by 200 majority, and En-
glish. Democrat, in the Third District, and
Weldon, Democrat, in the Seventh District, are
In all probability elected by small majorities.
This gives solid Democratic delegation of
seven from California.
COLORADO.
Returns from the State come in slowly, but
crly one election precinct thus far reported
has given q majority against Weaver, and the
latest returns from the mining counties show
that miners have voted almost solidly for
Weaver. While absolute figures cannot be
given, it 10 certain that Colorado has gone for
Weaver by q large majority. The Populist
State ticket and the two Populist Congressman
sre also undoubtedly elected. No idea Of how
Denver has voted can be given at this hour but
every precinct reported has given Weaver
majority. and there is but little doubt but what
Peoples Party electors have been chosen, with
from 5000 TO 10000 majority.
CONNECTICUT.
New haven gives Cleveland Q majority of
a,6ss; the vote polled 10 90 per cent. Of the
candidate for Governor, ran ahead of Cieve-
land, ard Merwip, Republican, ran behind his
ticket. Cleveland's plurality Of four years ago
seems to be much cut down. Latest estimates
give Cleveland $50 plurality, and Morris ]. 469
majority.
DELAWARE.
Delaware lie in doubt. Both parties claim it.
Thirty districts of Wilmington give Demo
cratic msjorities of 572 New Castle County,
outside of the city 30 far as heard from, 102
Democratic majority. City and County returns
indicate New Castle County Democratic by 300
majority. Kent County is reported Democratic
by $50; Sussex doubtful. Nothing reliable
from SUSSEX, but Republicans claim gain of sew
eral hundreds in that County, and if these are
reliable the County will be close.
FLORIDA.
The Peoples Party did not affect the
Democratic vote TO any extent, it being
lighter than at the State election In October.
Two Democratic Senators are returned to the
State Legislature, and all the Democratic elect
ers are chosen. There are no figures yet.
GEORGIA.
Cleveland may 90 higher than 10000 ma
sority in Georgia. The delegation will be
eolidly Democratic Hon Thomas Watson, who
was originally elected as a Democrat but wen,
over 70 the Third Party, failing to be returned
aud Maj J. C. c. Black succeeding him. The
Pecples Party polled a smaller vote than was
expected. In many Counties they worked
openly with the Republicans. The Columbu.
majority was about 1000.
IDAHO.
Indications are favorable for the election Of
Sweet Republican, in Idaho, and Mcconnell
Republican, for Congress, aud the fusonists are
