ting vote of about the same as last elec-
ton, when it got up to 800 election dis !
tricts, giving Cleveland 45s4O7 and Har-
rishn 81, 158. Chairman Harrity re- |
marked, THAT looks better We are all |

big democratic districts have not been
given yet"
When it was announced that $50 dis !
tricts had given Cleveland "a, 664 and |
Harrison, ii $40, there was unqualified |
satisfaction expressed. The first news
from outside of New York city was from
Brooklyn, ten districts of which gave
Cleveland 1,736, Harrison S95.
AT 7:15 the national committee had
further cause for satisfaction by the
statement, Eighteen districts outside
Of New York city give Cleveland 1860;
Harrison, 2, a,782"
! The reason for congratulation was that
that indicated a light vote up the State,
as In the former election the figures were
Cleveland 1,S12; Harrison 1908. "We
will have $4,000 majority in Kings
county" said Chairman Harrity at 80.
The news that Livington county showed
a republican loss of 800 was received
with exciamations of surprise. 1.-The
state is ours for sure, and we will have
over 100000 to the bridge" was what

island matter" was the explanation given
This slight set back was off set by
the next news, that of Queens county,
which gave democratic gain of over
nine hundred.
Slight surprise was expressed at the
first tidings from Buffalo, Lieutenant
a Governor Sheehan's home, forty districts
: out of one hundred aud twenty eight,
giving Cleveland 1872; Harrison S,719
: This gain was more than counter bal
anced by the word that Chautauqua
