COOPERATION THE REMEDY.
Cleveland on Labor Problems at Founders Day
Exercises, Carnegie Institute
(By the Associated Press.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. THE exercises
celebrating Founders Day at the Car
negie Institute, were held in Music Hall
this afternoon. Seldom, if ever before,
has the occasion been so interesting and
attended by so many people. The pres
ence of former Presiden. Grover Cleve-
land as orator of the day, and of Mrs
Cleveland as honor guest, served to aug
ment the desire of the people to partici-
pate in the exercises. The entrance of
Mrs Cleveland into one of the boxes was
the occasion of hearty and prolonged ap-
plause. Hardly had this noise subsidized
when another outburst greeted the ap-
pearance of the ex-President on the
stage. The vast audience received the
distinguished guest by rising and giving
expression to its pleasure by handicap
ping and waving of handkerchiefs.
Mr.. Cleveland's address was the first
on the program. The appreciation of the
audience was expressed in close attention

Baltimore. Nd, Nov. THE supervi-
sors OF election in the various counties
of the State commenced to-day at noon.
the official canvass of the vote cast last
Tuesday, and until it is finished no posi-
tive figures can be given as to the COM
plexion of the next legislature. 1t is
probable that the count outside of the
city will be completed by tomorrow, al
though at a late hour tonight no Off
cial statement had been made.
1t will require two and perhaps three
days TO complete the count in Balti-
more city. but enough is known to make
1t certain. in the absence OF unexpected
changes in the official count, that the
Democrats will control both branches OF
the legislature. They have elected one
more, probably two additional delegates
from Baltimore city. two from Cecil
county, and possibly one from Caroline.
which have heretofore been countN in
the Republican column. This will give
the Democrats so votes in the House,
and at least II in the Senate, or ma
jority of IL on Joint ballot.
The returns thus far received show
several unusually close contests. In
Caroline county, for instance, Stevens.
Republican, has but one majority over
Jefferson, Democrat. In Carroll, where
an evenly divided delegation was chosen,
p is the highest majority for the Re-
oublicans In Cecil the only successful
Republican wins by the narrow margin
of ii votes, while in Kent the successful
Democratic candidate has but majority
he successful Republican but IL. and
he two defeated candidates are tied. In
Somerset the successful Democrat has
but % majority. In ST. Marys twenty
votes give the Democrats their lowest
delegate. In Talbot county the only Re
publican elected has a majority of but
80 and none of the Democrats chosen in
Baltimore city has TO exceed 100 votes
to spare.
1t will thus be seen that the Official
count may make some radical changes
in the make up of the lower house. but
1t is not probable that they will mater
tally affect the result. as both sides are
likely to suffer equally by it.
1t will also REQUIRE the official count
to decide the fate of the State ticket
and the present indications are that
neither of the successful candidates will
have a majority of 11000, the indica-
tions pointing to the election of Herring
(Democrat) for Comptroller and Parran
(Republican) for clerk of the Court OF
Appeals
