THE CENTRAL STATES.
Illinois Goes for Ex-President Cleveland
and Causes the Greatest Sur
prise in the Campaign.

ILLINOIS. - The latest returns do
not abate in any way the decisive Demo
cratic victory in the state of Illinois on ma
tional and state tickets. Conservative men
of all parties now generally agree that the
national and state tickets have a Demo
cratic majority estimated at 10000 to 25 600
Democrats have a majority in the senate of
and in the house of representatives of IL.
1t is now definitely known that Joseph
G. Cannon (Rep) has been elected to con-
gress from the Fifteenth district, hereto
fore classed as doubtful.
OHIO. The Cleveland Leader has
received bulletins of official majorities
from all but six counties in Ohio Accord
ing to these figures the Republican ticket
now has over 1000 plurality, and should
have more on conservative estimates of the
remaining counties.
INDIANA.-The election returns from
all the state are coming in slowly. The
unofficial returns show steady Demo
cratic gain over the vote of 1898. Cleve-
lands majority in the state, it is conceded
by Republicans, will not be less than 5000
and probably more. The congressional
delegation will be Democratic by good
majority.
MICHIGAN.-The Republican voters
have carried 8 out of IA electoral districts.
The legislature will probably be composed
as follows: Senate-Republican IS; Demo
Gratis and Populists IA. House-Repub-
licans, As; Democrats and Populists, SO.
1OWA.-Al1 the election returns so
far received indicate a Republican plural
ity of 1900 in Iowa on electors. The state
ticket runs little behind. The Republic
ans elect congressman in ten of the eleven
districts. Walter |. Hayes, of the Second
district, is the only Democrat elected The
Peoples party vote will reach 81, 600 and
the Prohibition vote 5000
WISCONSIN.-The great victory OF
the Democracy in Wisconsin is complete.
Ed c. Wall claims the state of Wisconsin
by 1900 majority for the Democrats Com

elected to the assembly, and a great mum.
Der of Democratic strongholds have not vet
been heard from. This assures the election

ors actually ran behind the Democrats

An AnecdOte of BENJAMIN West.

When Benjamin West, the great
American artist-born in Pennsylvania
in 1739-was a little boy, one of his
school fellows tempted him to holiday
from trap and ball by promising him a
ride to neighboring plantation. "Here
is the horse bridled and saddled," said
his friend, $50 come get up behind me-"
Behind you'll" cried Benjamin. 81 will
sit behind nobody" "Oh, very WE'LL"
replied the other, 81 will ride behind
you; so mount" He mounted accord
ingly, and away they rode. This is
the last ride shall have for some time"
said his companion. Tomorrow | am
to be apprenticed to tailor" "A tailor
exclaimed Benjamin; "you will surely
never be tailor" Indeed | SHALL"
continued the boy; sit is very good
trade. What do you intend to be, Ben
jaminT "A painter" What sort of
a trade is that?' ga painter" said the
Quaker boy proudly, "is the companion
of kings and emperors." Now you
must be surely mad" said the embry-
onic clothier; ''there are neither kings
nor emperors in America" aye" said
young West, "but there are plenty in
other parts of the world And do you
really intend to be tailor?" "Indeed /
do. "Then you may ride alone" cried
the future president of the National
Academy of Great Britain. 81 will not
ride with any one willing to be tailor"

WESTERN STATES.
The Indications Seem to Show That
Kansas Has Been Carried by the
Peoples Party.

KANSAS. - The Peoples party here,
assisted by the Democrats, have certainly
elected the Weaver electors, the entire state
ticket and congressman at large by ma
jority of at least 1000 This is practically
conceded by the Republicans.
NEBRASKA.-The returns from seventy
out of ninety-one counties in Nebraska
have been received and settle the result in
the state beyond reasonable doubt. The
Republicans elect their whole state ticket
by at least 5000 plurality over the indie
pendents, the Democrats being third in the
race. Harrison will have a plurality over
Weaver amounting to about 5000.
CALIFORN1A.-Ret of about two
thirds of the vote of California gives II r.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Since the election,
which resulted so triumphantly in his
favor, Mr.. Cleveland has vanished from
the public view. With the exception of
the few words addressed to the throng in
front of his house in the small hours of
Wednesday morning, no utterance of pub
lie import has fallen from the lips of the
president-elect He has remained in the
privacy of his home, and to the representa-
tives of the press Mr.. Cleveland has denied
himself absolutely. 1t was at first rumored
that Mr.. Cleveland was engaged in the
of II statement which he would
make public, but this was authoritatively
denied by Secretary O'Brien, who said, 81
don't think Mr. Cleveland will be heard
from till March -

CONNECTICUT-T The vote in this state
with one town missing gives: Cleveland,

scattering, 1,005. Cleveland's plurality,
5,417. -Four years ago it was 1856 The entire

ECHOES OF ELECTION.
BOTH PARTIES STILL CLAIMING
CALIFORNIA AND OHIO.

Corrected Returns from Other States.
How the House and the Senate VIII
Probably Stand When the Next Congress
Meets-What the Peoples Party Did.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Republicans and
Democrats are both claiming Ohio. The
latest returns are encouraging to the Re
publicans, but their opponents say that the
official count will alone tell which claim is
correct The Republicans have probably
carried North and South Dakota, and Mon
tana, Nebraska, Wyoming, Minnesota,
Maine, Massachusetts, Iowa, New Hamp-
shire, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Vermont and Washington are still in the
Republican column. Michigan gives 8
electoral votes to Harrison and to Cleve-
land
Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin are DEM
ocratic, and California is claimed by both
the Republicans and Democrats.
Weaver carried Colorado, Idaho, Kansas
and Nevada.
In the Senate.
On March 4, 1898, twenty-five seats in the
United States senate become vacant. Mon
tana, California and Wyoming will send
Democratic senators there, and the Demo
Gratis at the beginning of the Fifty-third
congress will have as many senators as the
Republicans and Populists com ined. 1t
is reasonably certain, however, that the
Democrats can rely on the support of some
of the Populist senators in any of their
projects.
ha tu- iUa lnIoa ri a 70
March H. 1898, the Democrats will name
the occupants of thirteen, the Republicans
of nine and the Populists of three, one
being Senator Stewart, of Nevada, who
deserted the Republican party. The Demo
Gratis lose no seat they now hold, and gain
five from the Republicans-one each in
California, Montana, New York, Wiscon-
sin and Wyoming. The Populists gain
senator's from the Republicans in Kansas
and Nebraska, besides Senator Stewart, in
Nevada, who will succeed himself.
Some doubt still surrounds the complex
ion of the legislatures in California, Mon
tana, Wyoming and Nebraska, but late re-
turns all say that the Democrats have
gained the legislatures in the first three
states and the Populists in the last.
If no further changes are made by late
returns from close states the next senate
will be composed of fortyfour Democrats.
thirty-nine Republicans and five indie
pendents.
Mr. Cleveland will probably have 216
electoral votes, Mr.. Harrison 14S and Mr..
Weaver 90
The probabilities are that the state dele
cations in the next house of representa-
tives will stand as in this table, which also
shows the latest indications of how the
electoral college will vote:

IN OTHER STATES.
Governor Russell Reelected in Massachu-
setts and West Virginia Goes Demo-
cratic by 5000 to 1000 Majority.

MASSACHUSETTS. Herald says
"The Republican tigurers at headquarters
virtually concede the election of Governor
Russell by about 1,700, or, to be exact,
1857. A private dispatch from Worcester
confirmed the belief that Mr.. Halle would
lose the state, as that city is reported to
have given him but 500 plurality, which
shows net gain of 800 for Russell. The
small towns, which have been slow in com
ing in, do not cut down the estimated Rus
sell plurality materially, and there is little
indication that the towns to hear from will
wipe it out. The balance of the Repub-
lican state ticket has been elected Lieu
tenant Governor William II. Halle, the
Republican candidate for governor, has
telegraphed from Springfield to Governor
Russell as follows, please accept my con-
gratulations on your election"
COLORADO.-The additional returns
only tend to pile up the Populist majority
in Colorado, which will be anywhere from
5000 to 1000, with Waite, Populist candi-
date for governor, probably 5000 votes be
hind his ticket. Pence (PopulisD is elected
to congress in the First district by 1,5O0 or
1900 majority, and Bell (Populist) is elect
ed in the Second district by 5000 or 1900
majority. The Populists will have control
of the lower house of the legislature and
probably of the senate Long term sena-
tors elected will have vote in the session
of 1895 for a United States senator to sue
ceed Senator Walcott. OF the seventeen
long term senators chosen the Populists
have elected ten or twelve and possibly
more.
WEST VIRGINIA.-The returns from
over three-fourths of the state show that
the Democrats will have between 5000 and
1900 majority The Democrats will have
a majority of at least fifteen in the legisla-
ture on joint ballot, insuring the return to
the United States senate of C. j. Faux
ner. The full Democratic congressional
delegation are elected.
DELAWARE.-The states official plu-
rality for Cleveland is 504 The total vote
in Delaware was 81, 37,224-Democrats, 1S, $751;
Republicans, 1S,077; Prohibition, 566.
SOUTH DAKOTA-Seven of the most
populous counties in South Dakota report
decided Republican gains, with falling
off of the Populist vote of 25 per cent. and
later returns from other counties confirm
these representations, which makes the
election of the entire Republican state
ticket by a plurality larger than at first
estimated, bringing the figures up to IL, 900
plurality.
WYOMING.-The Harrison electors were
chosen by 800 majority. Colleen Dem is
elected to congress by about 500 majority,
and Osborne (Dem.) as governor by 1900
majority. The legislature is Republican
on joint ballot by one majority.

NEW YORK.
Complete Returns Show That Cleveland
Carried the State by a Plurality
of AZ, 799.

NEW YORK-Grover Cleveland's plu.
rality in this state is 42,799. His plurality
in the city is 6,l25, 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 $1,000 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
jority 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 fifty-three Republicans,
which will give the Democrats a sweeping
majority on joint ballot.
Whatever the cause the total vote in the
country districts fell much below the vote
of 1888, but two Republicans stayed at
home to one Democrat, so that the Cleve-
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 Is. HllIs nome, where a Democratic
majority of $40 in 1888 is now Republican
majority of 800, or total Democratic loss
Of $40. DR.. r. p. Bush, the speaker of the
present assembly, who represented the
county seven years, is defeated.
Tammany Hall made clean sweep.
Gilroy was elected mayor over Einstein by
vote of ia, sos to 97,647. Cleveland had a
majority of 74,793 in the city New York

A cOLoREp BOY CHOIR.
A Very Meiodious One in Surplices at ST.
Philips Church.

| very Meiodious One in Surplices at st.
| Philips Church.
New York boasts of the largest sur
pllced colored boy choir in the United
States, and, so far as is known, in the
world. Such choirs are not numerous,
and are to be found only in large cities.
There are two in New York-one belong
ing to Roman Catholic and the other
to Protestant Episcopal church. The
latter Is the one here meant, and as the
music OF the Episcopal is so different
from that of the Roman Catholic church
no comparison between the two can be
drawn.
St. Philips church in West Twenty
fifth street, between Sixth and Seventh
avenues, Is one of the oldest colored
congregations in America. The present
building is an ordinary affair of brick
and was once used by Methodists. Up
TO few months ago the music at st.
Phlnps was furnished by an ordinary
mixed choir of colored singers. Some
months before Easter it was decided to
change to boy choir, such as are to be
found in Trinity, st. Agnes, St. An
drews and other more or less "high"
churches in the city. The present or
ganist, Mr.. E. B. Kinney, was engaged
to organize the choir. and the first serv-
ices under the new order of things were
heard ON Easter Sunday. Mr.. Kinney,
however, found the task of organiza-
ton difficult one. He discovered that,
SO far as the constant desire to have fun
and play pranks with one another was
concerned, there was not much differ
ence between colored and white boys.
And as the choir consisted of thirty
boys, IN addition to twenty men, he had
to keep his eyes open. In time the
youngsters began to submit fairly well
to discipline ard are now quite tracta-
BILE. OF coulso there was no trouble
with the men.
The colored race is essentially musical
both in ear and voice, and this fact has
caused the choir of st. Philips to be
reckoned among the best boy choirs in
the city. Once the youngsters are in
terested they enter upon the work with
an earnestness that would put many Il
white boy to the blush. In the choir
there are several remarkably good So
prano voices. Two little colored chaps,
Prentice Hutchinson and Howard Brax-
ton, are regarded as especially fine, and
to them most of the solos are given. The
ages of the boys range from nine to six
teen years.
Mr.. Kinney says that as far as he
knows he is the only white person con-
nected with the church, though the
rector, the Rev. H. G. Bishop, is fire.
quently assisted by white ministers. St
Philips church is interesting for other
things than its choir. 1t has very
valuable chalice cup, made of gold,
which has been insured for 81 900. 1t is
studded with diamonds, pearls, rubies
and other precious stones. There is a
legend that two of the diamonds, each
worth $500, were found in the bottom
of trunk belonging to one of the
women members of the church and were
given to adorn the chalice cup. The
altar is handsome one and was pre-
sented by DR.. Ray, a colored physician
of some note in this city. The organ is
small, but very sweet in tone.-New
