EVEN OHIO N0W DOUBTFUL,
McKinley's State Close and Claimed
for Cleveland by 1900.

The Republicans Say It win Take an
Omciai Count to Decide and Are Hope
full of Rcsults-wiscon Surely Demo-
cratic and Indiana Apparently so-The
United states senate Likely to Pass
from the Control of the Republicans.
President Harrison Takes His Defeat
without Any Show of Feeling.
COLUMBUS, Nov. 1O.-The situation in
Ohio has become interesting to a strained
degree, and the excitement is at fever heat
over the indications that McKinleys own
state may possibly be found in the Demo
cratic camp when all the votes are
counted
The Democratic committee has reports
from the county chairmen Of thirty-siS
counties, which show a net Democratic
gain for Cleveland Of 14,4lO. This leaves
iifty-five counties TO hear from. At the
same ratio of increase the state will g
Democratic.
The Republican managers are very anx
ious and admit that the state viii be close
but hope for different results from tha
which the Democrats claim.
The Democrats claim the state for th,
Cleveland electors by plurality rangns
from 600 to 1,jOO.
Republicans announce that it will re
Quire the official count to decide.

The election is over; the battle was
hard fought and William f. Biery, Of
Weissport, Democratic candidate for
the Legislature, comes out the victor
with majority of 257 over his Repub-
lican opponent, b. j. Kuntz. We con
gratulate Hon. William Biery, on his
election by so substantial a majority.
The result tells in no empathic manner
that the people want pure politics and
are against Doodle and yicIousness of
whatever kind. Mr.. Biery will repre-
sent the people of Carbon county in
the State Legislature with ability and
credit. Tie will champion the cause of
the poor people and be positively in
opposition to combines, pools or trusts
and will not vote for Matt Quay for
United States Senator. Mr.. Biery can
be depended on to do his duty to the
people and to do it thorough and we'll.
That is sufficient. His course will be
watched with interests by all our
people.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1O.--United States
Senator Quay reach this city this morning
and registered at the Continental hotel,
where he met Chairman Reeder, Of the Re
publican state committee. They had a
conference upon political matters. This
forenoon Senator Quay was found at the
Republican state headquarters in company
with Collector Of Port Cooper A reporter
asked the senator what he thought of the
result and he replied that it was awful
"How do you account for it2'
1--WE had not votes enough" was the
reply.
How do you account for that'"
II have nothing to say"
When the reporter said he would like to
have Senator Quay's opinion as to the
cause of the defeat, the junior senator re.
peated that he had nothing to say

NEW YORK.


NEW YORK.-Grover Cleveland's plu-
rality in this state is 44,4g6 His plurality
in the city is 15,G}4, and it is more than
$4,000 in Kings county. The result in Kings
county was surprise, as the Democratic
managers there had claimed only 5000 to
10000 plurality. There were heavy Demo
cratic gains in some OF the strongest Re
publican counties in the interior of the
state.
The Democrats have elected a good ma
iority of the assemblymen in this state,
which insures the election Of Democrat
to the United States senate to succeed
Frank Hiscock, Thirty Democratic as
semblymen are elected from this city, and
seventeen of the eighteen assemblymen
elected from Kings county are Democrats.
In the next assembly there will be seventy
five Democrats and liftythree Republicans,
which will give the Democrats sweeping
majority on joint ballot
Whatever the cause the total vote in the
| country districts fell much below the vote
of 1883, but two Republicans stayed at
| home to one Democrat, so that the Cleye-
| land majority increased in nearly every
/ part Of the state.
There are many surprises, but the great
est Of all is in Chemung county, Senator
| David b. Hills home, where n Democratic
majority of $40 in 1888 is now Republican
majority of 300, or total Democratic loss
of SO. DR.. II. p. Bush, the speaker Of the
present assembly, who represented the
county seven years, is defeated
Kings county gave Cleveland a plurality
of 20 1GO, and cast 800 votes for Weaver
and ,5gs for Bidwell Three Democratic
congressman were elected
Tammany Hall made Il clean sweep.
Gilruy was elected mayor over Einstein by
a vote Of li3, sos to g5,G41. Cleveland had Il
majority of -, 1913 in the city. New York
city with Richmond and Wcstchester couu
ties sends a solid Democratic delegation Of
ten representatives to congress.
The following appear to be the congress

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10-The Post says
that President Harrison is unable to ac-
count for the overwhelming victory Of the
Democrats, but shows no feeling over the
result. In commenting upon a telegram

electors, he said

NEW YORK, Nov. 1O-The following has
been issued from Democratic headquarters
"Our advices Justify the statement that
the electoral vote Of Michigan and all OF
the electoral votes of Wisconsin and Hi
uois, in addition to those from New York,
New Jersey, Indiana and Connecticut and
those from the southern states, will be cast
for Cleveland and Stevenson. This will
make 2G0 electoral votes in all. The indi-
cations are that California has also gone
Democratic, this giving Cleveland and
Stevenson not less than 2I6 electoral votes.
ut is a glorious victory, and the people
Of the country are entitled 90 the warmest
congratulations"
At Democratic headquarters it is claimed
that the returns show that Harrison has
lost almost every state in the far west and
calculations based upon the returns west
of the Missouri river demonstrate that
Harrison could not have been elected if he
had carried New York and Indiana.
Congress Elections.
/ Reports from the congressional elections
l are still far from complete. Statements OF
/ the political divisions OF the membership
/ of the senate and house H Representatives
/ in the Fifty-third congress necessarily con
| tain elements of uncertainty that cannot
! be avoided, but the reports that have beer
received do not make any material changes
in the tables heretofore sent out by The
/ United Press.
Democrats claim that they have carried
the Wyoming Legislature, and will thereby
secure successor to Senator Warren
whose term expires March next. Thi'
would give them forty-two senators, ant
almost certainly give to the third party
senator's the control Of that body. Enthu
siastic Democrats, however, claim tha
their party will secure enough Addit.ona
senators from other western states to givt
them control of the upper branch of con
gress after March 4. But II substantial
basis for that claim cannot be seen.
A number of changes in the composition
of state delegations in the next house o
representatives rs heretofore given ar
made necessary by reports received to
day. The results, however, do not var.
materially from the figures given on
