KEEPING UP His BLUFF.
Carter Evidently Does Not Know
What Hit Him.


New YORK, Nov. 9.-The sun had
been up an hour this morning before
Thomas Ill. Carter, chairman of the Re
publican national committee went to
bed at the Plaza. He knew when he
retired that New York had gone Demo
cratic, but he said his adyiceS from the
West had been encouraging, and he
thought Harrison was going to pull
through. 1t was 1880 when Chairman
Carter appeared in the lobby OF the
hotel. He said:
TO be sure, New York has gone
Democratic, but that does not elect
Cleveland. 1t all depends upon Indiana
and Illinois, and | am confident that
they will give Republican pluralltles.. !

has remained true to the party, Presl
dent Harrison will be elected without
New York.
DR., Chauncey NJ. Depew did not look
this morning like man who is suffer
ing from disappointment. He said,
IF Mr., Cleveland has been elected,

branches of congress. If lie is elected

Chairman Ilackett, of the Republican
state committee. this morning said he
had nothing to say. New York had
gone Democratic, and he could only de
pend OH the other states for Mr. harri-
sons election.

Not since 1872 have the Republicans
won so decisive victory i'll this
(Wayne) county in general or state
election as they did yesterday. They
did away with a normal Democratic
majority of over 5000 and piled up an
every candidate, except two, on the
county ticket, and on Judge Chapman
Dem.) for congress. The leading ques-
ton which was brought into the CAM
paign explains, it is said, in large
measure The Democratic defeat. The
American Protestant association vote
was solid for the Republican ticket
from top to bottom. as the state Demo
cratic ticket suffered equally with tue
county.
At midnight there are sufficient re-
turns to show conclusIvely how Miehi-
gan has gone. The Republican
state ticket is elected by majori-
ties ranging from o,C0o to
$1,000. The Democrats have
elected their congressman in the First,
Second, Fifth, Seventh and Tenth dis
tricts. They have also secured five
electors. The legislature. which chooses
United States senator, is Republican
in both branches.

the Democratic newspapers of Min
nesota, which have proved the most
efficient of forces in the conduct of
the campaign. The power of the press
in these days is overwhelming. The
press is greater than any other
agency in the task Of proselyt-
ing and enlightenment. In each COM
munity the local newspaper, ever cheer
ing the hearts of the faithful with words
of encouragement, and ever preaching
the gospel of truth earnestly and con-
vincingly, exerts an influence of the ut
most value. The editors of the Mi nne-
sofa country newspapers have cooper
ated with the state central committee
most satisfactorily through out the con-
test just ended. Their columns have
always been open for the publ cation of
the news, and they have cheerfully
sacrificed local intelligence of interest
to their readers that they might find
room for campaign material. Their
enthusiasm and deyotion will not be
forgotten, and the GLOBE extends them
the Democracy's thanks and congratu-
latiOnS.

PITTsBURG, Nov. 9.-The Times &C..

canvass cannot be denied. If there
were no other evidence of this than
the prepOsterOus claims seriously made,
and believed by those who made them,
concerning the vote of New York state,
it would require no further demonstra-
ton. But plumbers of management
cannot explain the sweeping results in
dictated by tine reports from East and
West. Republicans waited hopefully
and confidently for the mature Judg-
ment OF this election to correct the adj
verse verdict hastily given in the con-
gresSiona election of 1890, imm ediately
after the Mckinley tariff bill became a
law. They wait still, hopefully, but

WEST VIRGINIA.
Scattering Returns Show Repub-
Iican Gains.

WHEELING, w. Va, Nov. 9.-It now
looks as if it will be some days before
the result in West Virginia will be pos
itively known. The returns continue
favorable to Republicans, but a very
few precincts only have been heard
from. The Republicans have undoubt-
eddy made gains in the legislature.
Doyener, Republican, for congress,
First wheeling district, claims he has
defeated Pendleton. Democrat. None
of the interior counties, where the new
vote is, have been heard from. There
is really little more to tell than there
was last night. Both sides still claim
the state. Later reports may show
Democratic gains.
PARKERsAURG, w. Va, Nov. 9.-Re-
turns from the Fourth district are COM
ing slowly Caldwell. Republican can
didate for congress, runs ahead of his
ticket, but cannot overcome the major
ity Capehart's, Dem, election is con-
coded by net majority OF 400 less than
in 1890.
HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Nov. 9.-Cape-
hart, for congress. is undoubtedly elect
ed in this district by small majority.
Reports from the mountain counties IN
dictate heavy falling off i'll the vote,
which will probably defeat Anderson,
Dem, for congress in the Third dis
trict Rucker is his opponent.
The state Republican committee con-
cedeS the election of the Democratic
candidate for governor and that the
state has gone for Cleveland. The
First and Third congressional districts
are in doubt, with the chances favorlng
Dovenor, Republican, in the First dis
trict, and Anderson, Democrat, i'll the
Third. The Second and Fourth remain
Democratic. Democrats will have ten
majority on Joint ballot i'll the ieglSla-
ture.
The result in West Virginia is a sur
prise to politicians, Republican counties
showing large Democratic gains and
visa versa. The Democratic counties
were the first heard from, and Oh these
reports were based the first dispatches
indicating Republican success. No
one seems to be able to account for the
remarkable reversal of honors, though
the opinion is that the Democrats,
knowing the state was close, centered
all their fight OH Republican strong
holds at the last, and caught thelr OPP
pOnentsnapping. I

KANS JAS.
Weaver Electors Will Have 1000
Plurality.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 9.-It looks like
another third party landslide in Kansas.
With only few back counties to hear
from, the returns already in show that
Weaver has carried the state by about
1900; that Leweling, the fusion candi-
date for governor, will have a majority
over Smith, Rep. of about 1,500; that
Harris. the fusion candidate at large for
congress, will beat Anthony, Rep, by
1000 majority, and that the congress
slonal delegation will stand five fusion
PopuliSts, ana three Republicans.
Broderick, Rep. is reelected Ill
the First district by good round major
lily of at least 1900; Funston, Rep, in
the Second district. comes up through
the second landslide which he has sur
yived with about 500 majority, and Cur
It's, Rep, i'll the Fourth is elected by
5000 majority. Humphrey, Rep, at
present governor Of state, is beaten for
congress III the Third district by Hud-
son, fusion Pop. Baker, fusion Pop, in
the Sixth is reelected by 500 majority
over Pestana, Rep. and to cap the
climax Jerry Simpson is returned in the
big Seventh by about $500, a reduction
of his majority two years ago by $500
votes.
! The Republicans at II O'Clock claim
the state by 500 majority. and say 1t VIII
take the official count TO decide. Their
own figures do not bear out their asser-
ton, for the majorities given above are
computed from their returns.
The leglSlature-elect, which will
choose a successor to Senator Perkins
lRep0, will probably be anti-Repub--
lcan. The counties still to be heard
from are all in the western part OF the
state, the hotbed of the third party
lmovement. and if they change the re-
suit given here it will be in the way OF
|, increasing the fusion maioritie5.
|, KANSAS. CITY, Nov. S.-The Repub-
licari state committee of Kansas claim
the state is carried for their national
and state ticket by not less than 5000
over the Populist-Democratc fusion,
and their claims seem to be borne out
by the later returns. Congressional
delegation will probably stand as fol
lows: First, Broderick, Rep; Second,
FuIlstone, Rep; Third, Hudson,
fusion; Fourth, Cortis, Rep; Fifth,
DAVIS, fusion; Sixth, Baker, fusion
Seventh. Long, Rep. Anthony, Rep,
seems 10 be elected to congress at large
on a very close vote. Both committees
are claiming the legislature, but the
chances favor small Republican ma
jority.

THE LEGIsLATuRE.

= The complexion of the Ramsey county
legislative delegation is substantially
determined, and it shows large Dem
ocratic gain. All the victorS are Demo
Gratis except in the First and Seventh
wards, which are Republican strong
holds. Outside Of Ramsey county the
returns are still incomplete, but in all
probability the anti-Republlcan major
ity of the last lower house will be re-
peated at the coming session. Two
years ago, without any particular effort
to that end, both branches were con
trolled by the Democracy and Peoples
party. This year, with United States
senatorshlp at stake, the Republica MS
have done their best to effect a differ
entresuIt. The indications are that they
have not succeeded. In doubtful dis
tricts the opposition has combined, and
presented single instead of divided
front. 1t would require an overwhelm
ing majority on the general ticket to
overcome this alliance. With the govern
orship still in doubt, no such majority
has been secured. The GLOBE claims
an anti-Republican legislature and the
defeat of c. K. DAVIS for the United
States senatOrShiD.

SOME FEATURES OF TUES
DAYS RESULT.

The result of Tuesdays presidential
contest establishes several interesting
precedents and dispels several illusions
in the domain of politics.
In the first place, it demonstrates that
a candidate can be chosen in cOnven-
ton against the violent opposition
of his own state-and that, too,
the most important state in the
Union-and still carry the state
and the nation, Many sincere adj
mlrers of GROVER CLEVELAND in
other parts of the country doubted his
availability as a candidate because of
the opposition of the New York delega-
ton; yet, in spite Of doubts and pro-
tests, CLEVELAND was nominated, and
the result skaters the theory that the
opposition of his own state in the nom
mating convention is fatal to a candi-
dates chances at the polls.
Another thing demonstrated by the
election is that presidential candidate
is not debarred from ultimate victory
by one defeat. Since his defeat in 1884
Mr.. BLAINE has feared to again enter
the lists. but Mr.. CLEVELAND comes up
smiling iron! his defeat of 1888 and cas-
lily wOrsts his quondam conqueror.
Another effectively shattered illusion
is that which held Indiana as eternally
certain to cast its electoral vote against
the party which should dare. to ignore
its claims to place on the ticket. In
diana wanted Gov. GRAY placed on the
ticket with Mr.. CLEVELAND, and when
STEVENSON was chosen instead there
were sundry terrifying gIowls from the
Indiana Democracy. But it was all
bark and no bite, and Indiana is found
in line for the party which refused it
even the second place Oh the ticket
and against the party which gave it the
first place.
And finally. the election has dem
onStrated that the Northwest will here
after have more to say than formerly
about how this country shall be run.
That sturdy block of Democratic states,
Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and ILL
nois, to be Joined inevitably in the near
future by Iowa aud Minnesota, will
WELD an immense influence in the ma
tional councils. The East has dictated
legislation i'll its own interest long
enough; the Northwest proposes to
take hand now.

LACK OF VOTES. :"
Mat Quay Gives a Short and Tart
Exclamation.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Q. - Senator
QUAY arrived here this morning from
Fittsburg. He remained only a few
minutes at his hotel, and then went out
and visited a number of places of bust
ness. finally bringing up at the Repub-
lican state committee headquarters.
Collector Cooper and reporter found
him there this afternoon. Mr.. Quay
silently shook hands with his callers,
and then, sinking into chair, said:
This is awful" Turning to Collector
Cooper. he asked: What have you
heard? What have we saved?"
Collector Cooper said that there was
still hope of Indiana. Mr.. Quay made
no reply, but listened silently as Collect
or Cooper told him the situation of
affairs. To the question 10 what do
you attribute the defeat?" Senator Quay
tersely responded, Lack of votes"
well, then, why do you think the
votes were lacking"'
you will have to ask the voters that
question:" replied Senator Quay.
Have you nothing to say, senator, on
the reSult?'
.'Nothing," said Mr.. Quay, and he
turned to Collector Cooper and began to
question him as to the result in the diff
terent legislative districts in the state.

RAMSEY COUNTY

There is nothing the matter with
Ramsey county.
Stearns has held its head justifiably
high heretofore as the banner Demo
cratic county of the state; but Ramsey
now puts in strong bid for that ban
ner. The sturdy Democracy of Ramsey
has challenged Stearns' right to stand
at the head of the column of Demo,
cratic counties in Minnesota, and in
this commendable rivalry Ramsey now
appears to lead.
The grand Democratic pluralities
rolled up by Ramsey should be, and
are, source of pride to every Demo
cratic voter in the county. If Minnesota
be not enrolled in the same victorious
column with Illinois and Wisconsin
and Indiana and Michigan, Ramsey
county, atleast, has nothing to reproach
itself with

CALIFORNIA.
CIeyeland's Chances in the Golden
State Very Bright.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Nov. 9.-Ac-
cording to returns counted in this city
thus far, Cleveland will have plurality
of about 7,0OO Returns are too meager
to say with positiveness which electoral
ticket has carried the state, but indiea-
tions are that Cleveland's plurality in
this city will be overcome by Harrison's
plurality in other parts of the state, and
that the latter will probably carry the
state by plurality considerably less
than that of four years ago. Weaver's
vote was somewhat larger than esti-
mated by the managers of both political
parties, and cut into the Republican
vote in some counties heavier than it
did into the Democratic vote.
The legis lature is still in doubt. but
will probably be Republican on joint
ballot. The Democrats in all probable
ity carry four congressional districts,
the First, Second, Fourth and Sixth,
and the Republicans the remaining
three, although the vote is close in the
Seventh district with chances in favor
of the Republican candidate.
Six hundred and seventy precincts
out of 1924 outside of San Francisco
give Harrison 3S,070 Cleveland 34,T5S,
Weaver 1909.

THE STATE TICKET.

There is no basis at this writing for
the claims Of the Republicans to the
effect that KNUTE NELSON has been
elected governor of the state. The re-
suit is still a matter of great doubt, and
the plurality on either side will be small.
From the reports already received
DANIEL w. LAWYER is much more
likely to be the victor than his opponent.
The Democracy has sustained loss in
Hennepin county, but this is more than
offset by substantial gain in Ramsey.
The country districts, in almost every
instance, show an increase in the total
vote cast for LAwLER over that which
Judge WILSON got two years ago.
MERRIAM'S plurality at that time was
under $500, and it will not require
many changes to assure NELSON'S de-
feat. The GLOBES policy is always to
admit the truth, and, if It's informal ton
warranted it, it would now concede a
Republican victory. But such is not
tho case. The returns are arriving
with annoying hardness, but until they
have all been collected, 1T will be i'm
possible to tell the outcome one way or
the other. Let the people wait, trusting
that the present favorable indications
will be confirmed by the tidings yet to

THE SENATE.
The Vice President May Have tho
Casting Vote.

WASHINGTON, Nov. al present
there are in the senate AZ Republicans.
80 Democrats and Farmers Alliance
men. 1t looks now as though after
the 4th of March next there will
be 43 Republicans, 40 Democrats and
two Farmers Alliance representatives.
One OF these-SenaDr PETER, of Kan
sas-woud probably vote with the Re-
publican party. Should Senator Kyle
insist on being on the other side OF any
momentOus question, there could easily
be tie, and this would have to DO
broken by the casting vote of the vice
president, who would necessarily vote
with the Democrats.
The terms of twenty-nine members or
the senate will expire March 3. Eight
cen of these are Republicans and eleven
Democrats. OF the latter there was
some doubt as to the return OF three
Faulkner, of West Virginia; Iurple,
of Indiana, and Gray. of Delaware.
Figures already in would seem 10 show
quite clearly that Senator Faulkner will
undoubtedly be reelected. 1t is posi-
that the same disposition may be made
of Senator Gray'S case, but nothing def
mite can be assumed until the political
status of the state is more clear.
If it is true that Indiana is gone
Democratic Mr.. Tarpie would probably
succeed himself. The other Democrats.
whose terms expire March 3. are prac-
tically sure of election. Or If there has
been personal trouble between them
selves and their legislatures, the places
the senators vacate would be filled by
members of the Democratic party.
OF the eighteen Republican senators
whose terms expire in March, ten were
supposed to be reasonably sure as to re-
election. These are Senators Aid
rich, Rhode Island; Allen. Washing
ton; Dawes, Massachusetts; FELTON,,
California; Hale, Maine; IIawley, Con.
necticut; Proctor, Vermont; Quay,
Pennsylvania; Sherman, Ohio; and
Warren, Wyoming. Recently arrived
indications from Wyoming arc to the
effect that Senator Warren will probably
be defeated,
The eight Republican seats which
full are those of Senator Casey, OF North
Dakota; Senator Paddock. of Nebraska;
Hiseock, of New York; Sanders. OF
Montana; Sawyer, of Wisconsin; Stock
bridge, of Michigan; Stewart, of \ eyada
and Senator Davis. of Minnesota.
Of these HiscOck will certainly be
succeeded by Democrat and there are
strong chances that like fate may be-
fall Senator Paddock. Senator Stock
bridge is almost certain to come out
satisfactorily in Michigan, and from the
returns that have come in today II
would seem as though Senator Hawley
would be sent back
