Returns are incomplete but Cleveland
and Stevenson will almost certainly have
1856 majority in the electoral college-possi-
bly it will be more. In New York, Harrison
came to Harlem bridge with $4,000 plural
rality which was met by over 10000 Dem
ocratic plurality below-giving Cleveland
the State by 1894. New York city alone
gave over 10000 Democratic plurality
Beside the solid South and New York,
Cleveland has the three old-time doubtful
by $500, New jersey
by 1900, and Indiana by 10000, and Dem
ocratic State tickets elected. Illinois gives
Cleveland 10000 plurality and elects Dem
ocratic governor and State officers. Wis
consin elects Democratic State aud electo-
raj tickets and legislature-plurality TO-
600 to $4,000 for Cleveland. Ohio is Demo
cratic by 67S plurality. California is
uncertain-probably Democratic. Monta-
ma and Wyoming are in doubt. Michigan
elects Republican State ticket but Dem
ocratic electors.
West Virginia elects the Democratic
electoral ticket MacCorkle and State Off
GERS, by probably 5000 plurality, and four
Democratic congressman. The Legislature
will be largely Democratic. Republican
majority in Berkeley largely reduced
Virginia and Maryland each elects a sol
id Democratic congressional delegation
Gen. McKaig's majority in the Sixth Mary
land about 600. Winchester Democratic
by lll-frst time for many years. OFFER
RAILS majority in Frederick, l4l7 Peters
burg Democratic.
1t is estimated that there will be 207
Democrats, 100 Republicans and Third
Parlyites in the next House of Representa-
tives, with 90 in doubt A Republican
will stand in Jerry Simpsons socks, and
Tom Watson is no more, politically. Dem
ocrats gain Senators from New York and
Wisconsin and possibly from Minnesota
Fusion or populist Senators to be elected
by other States will overthrow the Repub-
lican majority in the Senate.
