Next Year After q Presidential Year New York
state Reverscs Its Plurality.
A comparison of the result of Tuesdays
election with theSresults of elections in New
York State for the past thirty years shows that
what happened was exactly what had hap
pened the years following Presidential cleo
tions for the whole thirty years. with two ex-
captions.
In 1868, tho first national election after tho
war, Grant was elected President. He carried
New York State by 10000 plurality. The year
following State officers were elected in Now
York, and the Republican plurality ot 1858
was changed to q Democratic plurality Of
2O,241.
In 1872 Gen. Grant was reelected. He
carried the State of New York by the great
plurality of 63,456. State officers were elected
in 1873. and Grants great plurality was
wiped out. The victorious Republican army
of the year before was whipped, and the Demo-
cratic candidates were elected by q plurality
After, Grant came Rutherford B: Hayes.
Hayes took his seat as President on March a,
1877. In November, 1877, when q new set Of
State officers were elected. the Democratic can
didates swept the State and won by a plurality
The two State elections following the next two
national elections are the only two where this
James a. Garfield was elected in 1880: and the
Republicans succeeded In carrying the State
Grover Cleveland was elected in 1884, and the
Democrats succeeded in carrying the State
again the year following.
In 1883 BENJAMIN Harrison beat Cleveland
for the Presidency and carried the State Of
lowing year though the Republicans made q
great fight to secure an. Endorsement of the
Administration they lost the State. The Demo.
cratic candidates for State offices were. elected
by plurahties of OIL.
Grover Cleveland won again in the national
| fight in 1892. He got 45.51S plurality. Tho
Democrats worked the next year as had the
Republicans for four years before to secure an

"Now, John, don't you forget to return those

conscientiously say that De Kalb was q good

himself would be the last man In the world to
admit 1t. He had noticed occasionally that
young women looked at him with interest, but
none of his friends ever accused him Of posing

young women happened to ride down to the
bridge in the same car with De Kalb, and II he

expressions 1t was evident that De Kalb seemed

into his overcoat pockets and pulled out three

Owner OF His Gold Mine.
Los ANGELES, Nov. 4.-Police Clerk Edward
Gridley Is having practical results from bread
cast upon the waters. Some months ago q one
armed tramp called at Gridley's homo and
asked for something to eat. The good.natured
clerk gave him food. had a talk with the man,
and was convinced that he was deserving. Tho
tramp's name was McNellis, and his first meal
at Gridley's homo was followed by others. He
also received clothes. He expressed his graft
tude. and said some day he would reward his
benefactor. At length the tramp disappeared.
Some weeks ago Gridley was astonished to re-
ceive a letter from tho man postmarked in
Lower California. The writer said he had dis
covered a rich gold mine, and he wished to take
Gridley in as equal partner. The police clerk
paid little attention to the letter. but later let
tiers from McNellis confirmed his original infor-
nation. What finally awakened Gridley's in
terest was a telegram from McNellis at En-
senada. saying that n largo price had been
offered for the property by a wealthy company,
and asking what Gridley intended doing with
his interest. Then the police clerk secured a
leave OF absence. and yesterday started for En-
senada to meet McNellis.
Gridley has a brother in the Klondike, whom
he exported to Join in the spring. but he feels
assured now that he has a better thing in Lower
California.
