of 32,076- Such a majority was never
dreamed ef by the most Democrats. Cleve-
land went to the country towns of Cook
county with majority of "a .o97, and these
towns only give Harrison 2,02l majority.
The State Outside the City.
IncompIeteness and lateness of returns
from the state districts outside of Chicago
prevent even a Reasonable estimate of the
advantage which the Republicans have
there. 1t will cut no material hole in the
great Democratic plurality of Cook coun-
ty. Reports from nearly all the districts
show that the Democrats have made gains
in voting strength even in places where
there WAS a decrease in the number Of
votes cast, as compared with the poll in
1888. In many instances the Democrats
gained over the great avalanche of plurality
in 1890. 1t il thought that complete re
turns from the country regions will not be

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1O.-According to
returns counted in this city thus far Cevs-
land will have plurality of about 1000.
Returns are too meagre to say with POSI-
tiveness which electoral ticket has cari led
the state, but indications are that Cleve-
lands plurality in this city will be over
come by Harrison's plurality in other parts
of the state and that the latter will prob
ably carry the state by a plurality consid-
erably less than that of four years ago.
Viewers vote was larger than expected.
The legislature is still in doubt but will
probably be Republican on joint ballot.
