Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Sunday came as
a welcomed relief to President-elect
Cleveland. His friends decided to give
him day off, being considerate enough
TO think he had earned it, and so those
who did visit him staid only a short time.
Many persons hung around Cleveland's S
residence as if expecting so distinguished
gentleman to appear in the doorway,
Streams of kilograms and letters for Mr.
and Mrs. Cleveland continue to arrive.
Things are quiet at the Democratic ma
tional headquarters. The most conspic-
nous objects there tonight were the
headquarters mascot and big fire.
The mascot is cat marked almost ex-
actly like tiger, and greatly resembling
III miniature the Tam many Hall quad
ruped. The peculiar thing about the
animal is that it strayed into headquar-
ters on election night.
OHIO YET IN DOUBT.
COLUMBUS (O.), Nov. 13. Both the
Democratic and State headquarters were
closed to-day, and those who had been
searching for official information as to
whether Ohio had politically reversed
herself went to their homes for a days
rest. Chairman Dick of the Republican
Committee will return to the city to-mor-
row, when the work will be resumed
Official returns are still coming in at the
office of the Secretary of State, but thew
do not tiuctuate sufficiently to indicate
that the result will be materially different
from those which were given out by the
Republican committee. The plurality of
Taylor (Rep.l will not be far from the
1000 notch. The Democratic committee
is doing nothing, but claims that the
official count will show who was elected
or defeated.
ELECTION IN KANSAS.
TOPEKA (Kas.), Nov. 13.-Two sur
prising results OF the election in Kansas.
which have hitherto escaped notice. are
beginning to attract general attention,
One is the carrying of the proposition to
hold constitutional convention, and the
other is the cessation of the enforcement
of the prohibitory laws. In their eager
ness to elect the State and Electoral ticket
the Republicans paid no attention to the
matter OF the constitutional convention
and it was carried by default on their
part. The object of the convention is a
revision of the State Constitution. so as
to eliminate Objectionable and obsolete
features, and to add new and needed pro-
visions. The convention will be taken
advantage of by the anti-prohibition
faction of all parties to attempt the elm
ination of the prohibition amendment.
and the hottest kind of a fight on the
question is anticipated. Lorenzo Level
lying, the third party Governor-elect, was
always opposed to prohibition, and an
nOunced that the enforcement of the laws
must hereafter be LETT with local officers.
and the State will not use the power in
its hands to enforce the law in localities
This, in effect, means local option, and
already the liquor industry throughout
the State is booming. Saloons have
been opened in many cities and towns,
and Kansas to-day is practically ''wet
State.''
THE FRENCH WELL PLEASED.
PARIS, Nov. l3.-The French public is
just beginning to grasp the significance
OF the result of the election in the United
States. The financial columns of the
daily press and the financial organs de-
clare the Democratic success will give
new impetus to trade and will bring ad-
ditional capital into business throughout
the world and will add fresh fuel to the
smoldering agitation against the "Mc-
kinley protection of France.n The lead
ing Swiss review warns Europe if the
Democrats lower the tariff in America,
America will become reGoubtable unless
Europe also adopts free trade. High
duties on American products, it SAYS,
will intensity the evil and complete the
ruin of the countries of Europe.
