announced that Weaver had carried Oregon,
and there wac morn cheering afill RhAn a tele-

announced that Weaver had carried Oregon,
aud there was more cheering still when tele-
gram was read that the state Of Washington
probably went for Cleveland. This was rapidly
followed BY the returns from 500 city election
districts. Glowing a democratic majority Of
5S 0sS which created great excitement.
The returns from the interior OF the state
came pouring in, showing a republican loss in
nearly every case. Chairman Harrity was
overwhelmed with concentrations. but he
would not commit himself.
1t looks very much like a republican
slaughter, be said. ''but it is too early in the
game vet to shout
Much amusement was caused by the returns
from Gravesend, where John Y. McKane Is
supreme, showing Cleveland. 2.947; Harrison,
$50. As the returns came into democratic
national headquarters they were duplicated by
special wire to Mr.. Cleveland at his house, on
sis; street.
cLEvELASD's ELECTION CLAIMED.
Al Has O'Clock Chairman Harrity Of the
democratic national committee gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
There is no doubt of the election Of Glove
land and Stevenson by the popular VOTE while
the defeat Of Harrison is certain New York has
given a magnificent plurality for Cleveland.
New York surpasses all her previous records.
There is no break in the south. Republican
claims for Delaware are unfounded. In con-
necticut the returns show O steady advance
over the figures Of 1888. when we carried the
state. Indiana ia undoubtedly ours. The most
glorious result appears to be in Illinois, where.
from the returns, 1t would seem that for the
first time in ito history the state has gone DEM
ocratlc We have won the most glorious and
decisive victory in the history OF campaigns"
40,oHS MAJORITY CLAIMED.
Gov. Flower at l1:3O O'Clock, claimed &C, 900
majority in New York state for Cleveland, based.
he said on amost careful analysis Of the returns.
Mr.. Don NJ. Dickinson. chairman Of the DEM
ocratic campaign committee, said at an.
1--WE do not desire to boast Of the result. The
grand result speaks for itself. 1t shows. that
that they shall be no longer burdened by ex-
cessive taxation for the benefit of great monop-
oles, and are determined to uphold local rights
against the abuse Of centralized power. In
Michigan we have achieved a great success in
electing governor and seven presidential elect
ors. The uprising in the northwest ia the most
significant sign of the times, but in view Of the
splendid performance OF New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut there is nothing sectional
about the victory. which is a success for sound
political and economic principles everywhere"
WISCONSIN CLAIMED BY DEMOCRATS.
At J. 80 a. m. Chairman Harrity received by
long distance telephone from Madison, Wis,
the positive information that Wisconsin had
gone democratic by 10 900 majority.
At o'clock William +. Harrity. chairman Of
the national committee. said OF the elections:
The returns received leave no doubt in our
minds OF the election of Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. Stevenson bv decisive majorities in the
electoral college. The indications are that they
a. already predicted, receive the electoral votes
OF every one OF the southern states. We are
enabled to add to those the electoral votes Of
New Yors, New Jersey, Connecticu. and In
diana, previously claimed. We furthermore
claim that Mr.. Cleveland has carried Illinois
and Wisconsin and that Mr.. Harrison has lost
some OF the far western states. Returns gen.
orally indicate great democratic gains and great
republican losses. The people Of the country
are entitled to congratulations upon their great
victory"
HILL HEARS THE NEWS.
Gov. Flower, Senator Hill and Attorney Gen.
eral Rosendale were at the executive chamber
in Albany last night to hear the returns. By
10 O'Clock at least 500 special dispatches had
been received. and at that hour both Senator
Hill and Gov. Flower said they had no doubt
rs to the election of Cleveland to the presi-
dency.
The famous sergeant alarms, Jimmie Oliver,
Of Paradise Park, created the furore OF the early
part of the evening by bursting into the COM
mittee room and exclaiming: Gentlemen, down
where live. the fortieth election district Of the
second assembly district gives Cleteland 1888
and Harrison four votes. and where those four
votes came from don't know"
Jimmie announcement was heartily cheered.
