Republicans had no effect what

gallon was elected as was the case IN
Virginia. where Weaver received fewer
votes than Fidwel.
NEW YORK. Nov. 9.-The Press this
morning says:
many majority in New York city and the
Democratic majority in Brooklyn exceeds
Democratic estimates and breaks all re-
cords
Indiana is probably Republican. The
earliest returns show nothing but kepuD-
licans gains over 1888. when Harrison
carried the State by 200.
Illinois is in doubt The enormous
Democratic vote in Cooke county I'M
cAsn) may overcome the Republican COM
try districts. Owing 10 the ne" Oallot
the returns are coming in very SLOW. me
result may not be known for hours. con-
necticut is democratic. In the cites theIe
are slight Democratic gains
New Jersey has chosen Democratic
electors and bly, "A Democratic Gov
eruor. West Virginia and Delaware are
I'm all probability Republican for the first
time.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The Tribune
this morning says: The result OF the
election is doubtful at midnight. The re-
turns from most Of the States are meagre
and insufficient to warrant an absolute
conclusion, though the probabilities at
this hour are that Harrison and Reid
have not obtained a majority OF the cleo
toral votes.
New York is Democratic by not less
than 30 600. and has elected a Democratic
Assembly New Jersey has probably gone
for Cleveland by from 5000 TO 5000, but
Kean OepD claims his election as Gov
ernor.
Connecticut is believed 20 be Demo
cratic by a plurality Of from 1000 to 1000
on the Presidential ticket with the Gov
ernorship and the Legislature in doubt.
Indiana is clan ied by both parties by a
small plurality
In Illinois. the great Democratic ma
ority in Chicago is claimed to carry in
the Cleveland electors
Wisconsin is confidently claimed by the
Republicans by a safe plurality, and
Spooner is elected Governor.
Returns from the far West and North
west are late and fragmentary, indicating,
however, the choice of some Peoples
party electors In several States.
Massachusetts has chosen Harrison cleo
tors and probably a Republican State
ticket. thus displacing Governor Russell.
All the rest Of the New England States
are Republican, with the possible eXcep
ton of New Hampshire.
Whether or not the solid South has
been broken is still uncertain. The Re
publcans claim Delaware by a narrow
confidence.
1t is possible that the election of Pres
ident may devolve on the House Of Rep
resentatives
Congress is Democratic by large ma
jority.
NEW YORK, Nov 9-The Times has
the following headlines: Cleveland is
elected. A great triumph for Democracy
and tariff reform New York heads the
list of States, New Jersey, Connecticut
and Indiana follow. Some surprises In
the West. Illinois and Wisconsin out of
the Republican line Two hundred and
siXty-nine votes in the electoral college

ocratic senators from New York will help

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The World says
commenting on the situations Cleveland
and Stevenson will have clear majority
OF seventy ever the combined votes for
Harrison and Weaver I'm the electoral
college. Neither Alabama nor West Viz
GINA yielded 10 Republican assaults.
Consequently the Democratic candi-
dates hold the South's 159 votes
solid. They get all four OF the old-time
doubtful Statesmen York, New jersey,
Indiana and Connecticut
These States have n total of 81 votes.
Add them to lJ9 and you set 226 or three
rmOre than the requisite number. But 10
Smake assurance doubly sure. the Demo
,crats carry Illinois. seven in Michigan,
linstsad of tie four expected, and claim
several Of the smaller States.
It was upon these States that the
Words efforts and campaign fund We're
directed especially, and they have Ger
ltamly responded nobly But to redouble
assurance, so 10 speak, the World and the
lnatiOnal committee gave particular at
tention 10 fusion in the far West. The
result is that Weaver deprives Harrison
lof the votes OF Nevada. Colorado, Idaho,
Kansas. Nebraska and North Dakota.
| The luI eAtcAt Oi tne idndslIue, there
poIe, can be best Judged from the fact
that the only votes LETT TO the Republican
candidates are those OF California. Iowa,
Maine. massachusetts, in Michigan,
Minnesota, South Dakota. Montana and
New Hampshire. probably Ohio. in
Oregon, Pennsylvania. RHODE Island, Yer
mont Wisconsin. Wyoming and probably
Woshington-a beggarly total OF l6j. A
clean sweep. indeed.
But this is not all. Legislatures which
will elect United States senators were
chosen in twenty-one States. OF these
the Democrats not only hold their own,
but gain senator I'm place OF Hiscock in
New York. and others possibly in Michi-
gan and Connecticut. The fusionists also
claim 10 have won in Nebraska and
Kansas. Tho Senate now stands Re-
