Reports of the vote for Governor have now been received from every town and plantation in the state. Some of these reports are deriv- ed from the returns of the town clerks which are sent to the Secretary of States Office for public information, others come from the local papers and have reached them Thy telegraph and mail, and others have been telegraphed by the Associated Press agents. None of them are official, for the official returns are sealed up in open town meeting on election day and cannot be opened until the Legislature meets in January. Mr.. Berry's footings of the re- turns as received by him give Davis plurality of 179. 1t is found however by partial COM parison of the returns as received by the As ISOLATED Press with the clerks returns at Au- gusta, assuming the latter to be correct, that errors in telegraphing have occurred to the amount Of two-tenths of one per cent. The result arrived at by the Associated Press there fore will probably not be sustained by the Off cial count. The indications now are that Plaisted will have a plurality ranging from 100 to 200 The clerks returns point in this direc- ton. 1t must be remembered however that from many towns the clerks returns have not been received and also that even the clerks re- turns are not conclusive. They are more like ly to be correct than Geographic reports, but they are not infallible. The vote of the lead ing candidates is now so close that very slight percentage OF errors would turn the scale. The only thing that can be said with safety is that the returns as now received indicate small plurality for Plaisted, and that the re- salt will not be settled beyond doubt until the official returns are canvassed by the Legisla- ture. 1t is thought the Nye vote will reach about 313 and thatsthe scattering will foot up hundred, so that it is useless to expect ma jority for either candidate.

~ l4-~Jerseys City's Boom. Ns8N. The year 1890 opens for Jersey City with fair promise. Things have never looked better for her steady growth in population and wealth, and in the comforts and convenienees of modern life. Iu the first place, the activity III real estate is more than encouraging, and the number of vacant lots being sold to prospective builders shows that the best Judgment of experts counts upon a large access off, settlers during the spring andN summer. Nearly all the residences that were completed DUR ing the season just past have been let, and the agents report constant en- quiry for sfnaH housessat moderate rents thrsougAouS the Hill section. This we regard a. the most promis- ing sign possible. Increase of trade in every branch must necessarily fol- low Increase of population, and as the patronage of u large retail houses INCREASES, they will be better and bet tk1able to compete successfully with Aew York traders as Plaut and wHahne, and the other big Broad street houses doin Newark. sWesthink there Ore lIanys reasons why the expectations of our real es- tate men should sbe more than jnsti- fed. Jersey City, during the past year, has shakeh~much dust from her feet. Reform in county and munieis pal methods will bring reduction of taxation and improved return for the taxpayers money. The streets will hereafter be better paved and better cleaned. The discipline and efficiency of the police is being improved daily, and the time is meas urably near when a wholly paid corps will be substituted for our present buffalo" fire department. Other important improvements are inseontempiation Through public and private enterprise.
