New York, Nov. s.-lSpeciall Tho
Democratic national committee had
made elaborate arrangements Tor re-
ceiving returns at headquarters on
Fifth avenue. Committeeman Smalley's
room, on the third floor, was utilized as
4 telegraph office. Six wires were run
in, and as many operators were all
ready for action. A big sheet was hung
outside the building on which to throw
the returns. The front doors wero
closed and no one allowed in except by
the rear and with ticket. Chairman
Harrity and Committeeman Smalley
came into the telegraph room early and
amused themselves telling stories dur
ing the feverish wait for tidings.
Tho wires began to tick at GEO
o'clock. The first news was: Seventy
two election districts in New York city
out of / ,137 give Cleveland 9,73O, Harri-
son 5,632. Then returns began to pour
in. They indicated that in the same
ratio Cleveland's majority would be
about 600 Then the Democratic
majority ran along steadily at about
one fifth the entire vote, indicating the
vote was about the Same as the last
election. When it got up to 900 cleo
ton districts giving Cleveland 55,507,
Harrison BLISS, Chairman Harrity re-
marked: "That looks better. We are
all right if it keeps along at this rate;
the big Democratic districts have not
been given yet"
When it was announced that $50 dis
tricts had given Cleveland 73,664, and
Harrison NJ $40, there was unqualified
satisfaction expressed. The first news
from outside of New York city was from
Brooklyn, 10 districts of which gave
Cleveland, 1876; Harrison, sos. From
Virginia camo the nows that 10 coun-
ties give Democratic majority OF 1000.
What was eagerly looked for was news
from up the State. The first that came
was regarded very cheering. 1t was:
"Jamaica, 3 districts give Cleveland,
400; Harrison, 3O7."
Att o'clock word came that fifty dis
tricts gave Cleveland 1927; Harrison,
7,01l. This created great JOY and
caused much comment. 1T looks like
landslide in Kings" was remarked.
"NTait while," said sagacious Chair.
man Harrity, 81 am afraid the Repu bill
can districts have to come yet" At7:15
the national committee had further
cause for satisfac ton by the statement
that "1s districts outside New York
city give Cleveland 1869; Harrison,
2,7s2" The reason for congratulations
was that it indicated light vote up the
| State, as in 1888 the figures were Cleve

have %. 900 majority in Kings county

that Livingston county showed Repub

clamation OF surprise. "The State j!

number of votes cast in this city fell
considerably below tho estimates made
by the election expert mathematicians.
AS early as 6 o'clock the Democratic
managers admitted that the falling off
amounted to over seven per cent. COM
pared with the vote four years ago.
Various theories were advanced as to
the cause. 1t is argued that hundreds
Of citizens who visited the polls were
Obliged to stand in line awaiting their
turn until their patience became ex
hausted and they gave it up. The re-
suit is a considerable decrease in bal
lots cast for tho ca ndidate OF each party
The United States deputy marshals
and John l. Daven ports supervisors are
also held responsible for the decrease by
the Democrats, it being said that many
voters would rather torogo their rights
to the franchise and lose their votes
than in any way place themselves in
position where they would be even a
possibility of undergoing detention and
the discomfort of arrest, whether iusti-
fable or not.
The Republicans acknowledge the
railing oil in the votes and admit that
the loss caused by delay at the booths
affected them more than the Democrats.
Tho latter suffered moro through
challenges issued by the Republicans
and arrested on trumped I'D charges of
registration. On tho whole in the de-
crease both parties suffered about
equally and the result will therefore be
according to party strength on both
sides.
