President. The South is solid for
him. New York gives him an i'm
mense majority. Indiana is still in
doubt with Democratic chances. New
Jersey remains true to her accum-
toned Democratic preferences. Con-
necticut is in line with an increased
vote. West Virginia and Delaware
remain steadfast.
These were the States counted on as
doubtful. But here the great Demo-
cratic wave begins to swell.
Illinois has gone Democratic for the
first time since the war in a Presi-
Dental year, and Illinois has twenty
four electoral votes.
Wisconsin has deserted the Repub-
lican party and joined the Democra-
tic triumphal procession. This means
a change of twelve more electoral
votes and another Democratic United
States Senator. Many of the German
Lutherans who elected Peck Cover
nor two years ago have stuck to the
party which offers all Americans
freedom in their educational and re-
ligiOus beliefs. Such heavy Demo-
cratic gains are reported that Harri-
sons plurality of over y 900 is wiped
out, and the Democrats are claiming
10000 for Cleveland.
The Republicans had been putting
Alabama in the doubtful column be
cause of the Populist vote in that
State few months ago. But the re-
turns show the Democratic majority
to be quite large enough to be
satisfactory. From all over the South
come similar returns.
Probably more interest centered
in New York than in any other
State. Tammany at Chicago said
that Cleveland could not carry
the State, but when they went
home they took it all back and
said they would give him 10000
majority in New York city. The re-
suit shows that the managers were
more than true to their post-cOnven-
polls has given Cleveland over $4,000
plurality. Brooklyn and Queens
county swell the figures so that Cleve-
land has over 100000 majority. This
is an unprecedented majority in n
Presidential election and far more
than fulfillS the predictions of the
most sanguine Democrats.
A late dispatch from Washington,
d. c., says: "In addition to the Solid
South Cleveland has carried New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut, In
diana, Illinois, part of Michigan and
apparently Wisconsin, and several
States are still in doubt. He has GER
tainly 252 electoral votes against 1872
for Harrison and Weaver combined.
His plurality over Harrison on the
electoral vote is not far short of a
hundred, and on the popular vote is
something like half million.
HE will apparently be supported
by a Congress Democratic in both
branches. The Republicans have GER
tainly lost Senators in New York and
Nebraska, and probably in California,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Montana, and
some other States"
1t was thought at one time that
Ohio, the great Republican strong
hold and the home of Mckinley, had
for the first time gone Democratic,
but it appears that it will be saved to
the Republicans by a small margin.
California was believed to have given
Cleveland a good plurality, but with
only a few precincts to hear from
Harrison has plurality of about
2000, rs against 1000 in 1888. 1t is not
yet known how the legislature will
stand, but it looks Democratic. The
congressman are mixed.
President Harrison is reported as
saying that the overwhelming defeat of
the Republican party was due mainly
